who has no beginning / or end
Jesus came to teach us about God
To open up the windows of love
V 3 says he is the agent of creation
God the Father created through the Son
Through, The Father does it using someone else, God The Son
Example of through
God does a lot through
So What do You do With?...
when a JW tells you that Jesus is equal to satan?
Jesus is a created being?
Satan wants to trap you with scripture
we need to know what the Bible says
First Born
Jesus is born of The Father, a beginning (according to JW)
Jacob and Esau
Esau was the first born but through trickery and deceit Jacob got the blessing of firstborn, from his father Issac
firstborn is a title/ rank, and not necessarily a position
The Deity of Jesus
John 1 3 all things - if Jesus created all things, Jesus can’t be created
the universe, our homes and lives are held together by Jesus
Yahweh = Jehovah = LORD
most of the time in the Old Testament the word LORD is Jesus of the New Testament
Malachi has prophesied that someone would prepare the way
Fulfilled in New Testament Talking about Jesus
Here's a very familiar passage, Joel 2:32: "And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of [Jehovah] Will be [saved]."
Both Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13 quote that passage, applying the title Jehovah to Christ.
Jay Adams in an article entitled "Outwitnessing the Witnesses" gives a suggestion for making a tract to hand to JW's -
Pastor, how have you equipped your people to handle Jehovah’s Witnesses when they come to the door?
Sure, you have some members who can take them on.
But probably most of your members can’t.
So, what do they do?
They close the door saying, “No thanks.”
Or, worse, they allow them in to peddle their wares.
Neither of these responses is acceptable.
I’m offering an alternative.
It’s a brief tract that you can reproduce for your people to have on hand to give to them when they call.
On the cover are the words: You are NOT Jehovah’s Witness!
Then, as the Jehovah’s Witness opens it, on the left hand page are these words: You are NOT!
There are good reasons for saying this.
Consider just two:
1. Scripture shows that Jesus is God.
In Isaiah 43:10 we read,
Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none.
I–I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.
The verse appears in the context of God putting idols and false gods on trial (v.
9).
He calls them to witness to their true existence.
They fail.
Then, He calls His people to take the stand and witness for Him (v.
10).
In doing so, He not only refers to Himself as Jehovah, but says that no god was formed before or after Him.
Yet, YOU SAY JESUS IS “A GOD.”
So He must be Jehovah since there is no other.
Also, in verse 10, Jehovah says that He is the only Savior.
But Luke 2:11 plainly calls Jesus the Savior!
[On page two he reads:]
2. According to Isaiah 44:6, Jesus is Jehovah.
Jehovah said … I am the first and the last, and besides me there is no God.
In Revelation 1:18, and in 22:13, 16, Jesus referred Isaiah 44:6 to Himself.
Clearly, then, this indicates that Jehovah died and rose from the dead as the passage indicates!
Instead of spending time discussing John 1, try to focus on these pivotal verses from Isaiah, verses from which you took your name!
Having considered them, can’t you see that you have been led astray since these verses refer to Jesus’ Deity?
(The verses cited are quoted from your New World Translation).
Well, pastor, there you are.
A short thrust aimed at the very passages they claim to believe in so strongly.
It’s short because it goes to the heart of things, and because they probably wouldn’t read much more.
If your church member can wring a promise out of them that if he reads their literature, they will read his—all the better.
But, at any rate, if you prepare your members with a tract that you run off on your computer and printer, you will prepare them for the next onslaught of the Jehovah’s Witnesses best wishes!
