(an NIV won't work). |
Point him to Rev. 1:11 and read: "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last": |
Ask him, "Who is the 'first and the last'?" Who is speaking? |
Every J.W. (or Jewish person even slightly versed in scripture) will say, "Jehovah," based on Old Testament verses such as Isaiah 44:6 or 48:12 which say, "I am the first, and I am the last..." "I am he..." |
Then point him to Rev. 1:18, "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore," |
Ask him, "When was Jehovah dead?" |
They then realize that Jesus Christ was "God manifest in the flesh." (1 Tim. 3:16) |
This technique has been used to lead more J.W.'s to Christ than any other. It works every time I've done it. |
Of course NONE of this is in an NIV OR a Jehovah Witness New World Translation! |
Just a Bible on her knees, and a God she hoped to please. No power of her own to boast. No warriors waiting for a host. But to her tent was Sisera sent And through his head the nail went. "The head's the spot to aim the blow, for 'knowledge puffeth up', you know." Look past his power; forget her few. See God who drove the nail through. |
