03/26/20 FROM 2014 JW ENCOUNTER

This is typical of my encounters with cultists, though the closing scene was unique.

YOU MIGHT FIND THIS INTERESTING... ALL THE WAY TO THE END.

Well, I don't think he is coming back. A man knocked on my door and offered to leave some religious material. I looked at it and saw it was the group who calls itself, "Jehovah Witnesses."

I asked him if he was one of those people who believes the Bible.
He said, "Yes."
I asked if he believes EVERYTHING that it says.
He said, "Yes." But he was a little wary.
I asked again.
He said, "Like what?"
I said, "If I show you where the Bible says that Jesus raised Himself from the dead, will you believe it?"
He said, "No," and then asked me where it says that.
I said, "It does not matter where, the question is, Will you believe it if I show you."
He hemmed and hawed and stumbled all over himself and then asked me, "What Bible?"
I said, "Your Bible." We then went in the house.
I took him to John 2:19 and he squirmed like a worm on a hot griddle.
I took him to John 1:1 in his New World Translation (which is not true to the original languages) and showed him that he believes in more than one God.
I showed him that David and Job both spoke about life after death and when a Christian dies physically, he is absent from the body, but present with the Lord.
When he asked me where Adam is, I told him that I do not know whether Adam is in heaven or hell because I do not know Adam's relationship with God when he died.

There were other things, but you get the idea.
He kept telling me that it was my interpretation, and I kept pointing out that it was not interpretation, but clearly what the Bible says.
I told him my intention was not to argue, but to point out that he does not really believe the Bible, and that I love him and will be glad to help him come to Christ.
Sadly, when I invited him to believe on the resurrected Divine Christ of the Bible, he said he would not be doing that.

One more thing. 
The door to my house sticks.
When he was trying to get out he started to panic.
He locked it, unlocked, turned the handle and looked like he was about to be gutted and tanned.
Of course, I just kept telling him what the Bible says.
He finally said, with a little trepidation, "How do you get out of here?"
I said, "Turn the handle and push."
He did, and he stepped outside.
I followed him and said, that it is much easier to get out of my house than to get out the bondage of the false doctrines of his beliefs, but if he ever wants to, I will be glad to help him.
