Jehovah's Witness

A friend of mine posted something I thought was good enough to share with you! Here it is... 
"Just had two fourteen year old "Jehovah's Witnesses" come to the door...poor kids.

Just a glimpse:

Jehovah’s Witnesses say the doctrine of the Trinity is pagan teachings. They actually believe in three separate gods...God the Father and the two little gods, Jesus and the Holy Spirit (which they actually believe was just a force of God). They say:

1. Jesus was created
2. Jesus was Michael the archangel
3. Jesus’ body was not resurrected; it simply disappeared
4. He rose as a spirit creature They say
5. The Holy Spirit is not a person but is Jehovah’s active force or energy.

This is just one of many heretical claims of "Jehovah's Witnesses." Be careful when witnessing to them because they use a lot of the same terminology, but it is radically different from the true teachings of Scripture.

I haven't really looked at the link myself yet, but knowing the source that posted it, I'd say it is a good one.

From the heart -

  The past couple years I've learned more about not judging...particularly "Sinners will be sinners, so don't be surprised when they sin". But, it's easy to assume and judge when you see a "Christian" with tattoos, excessive body piercings, gauges, not acting the way you think they should, etc.  I recently joined a new church and I have quickly learned not to be quick to judge Christians either! (That being said....I think we should follow the Bible and be "set apart" - be a light for Him.) God is moving in a GREAT way at this church and I get so excited watching it! That includes however, worshiping next to a Christian who, because of past choices still sort of looks like the world and maybe is even a baby that's still learning not to act like the world. Some are just your simple everyday sad stories, but others came out of a hard life of drug dealings, gangs, and whatnot. I'm learning..and praying God will help me, to love like He loves, see through His eyes, reach out through His arms. It's exciting enough to see your "everyday Joe" come to know Jesus as his Saviour....but to see a case that the world deemed hopeless...that blows me away! 
 I also love how as a child of God, the "richest" person can fellowship and serve the Lord with the "lowest"! :D
 I just wanted to share my excitement with you! Let's pray for ourselves - each other - the lost, get out there and witness, and thank God for His goodness! :D
 Have a wonderful week everyone!
