Bible Proof of Some Basic Heresies of this Sect
By Forrest L. Keener
"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." (Isaiah 8:20).
A young lady about thirteen or fourteen years of age and a boy probably eleven, entered my driveway one Saturday morning. "We are young Bible students, and as part of our Bible training, we would like to ask you some questions." "Where do you attend church?" I asked. This subject they hoped to avoid for the moment, but when I insisted the answer came "Kingdom Hall". They were, "Jehovah's Witnesses."
Two stately, young women, without identifying themselves, handed me a tract across the yard fence, entitled, 'Has Religion Betrayed America?' An interesting subject indeed, but a quick look at tile material revealed that it did not deal with the tide subject at all, but proposed to set you up for the Russellite doctrines. They were, "Jehovah's Witnesses."
Two young men rang my doorbell one Saturday morning, desiring to talk with me about 'all the sickness and disease that was spread over the nation.' They confessed, only when I insisted upon identity, that they were "Jehovah's Witnesses." When I had quoted and applied far too much Scripture for their taste, one of them stated that I thought I was God Almighty and they left haughtily. When they leave, I am always left a little sick and with mixed emotions. I am angered, because of the hell filling heresy they will spread on down the street. I awn also burdened because I Know they are victims of their own snare, and are faithfully working their way to hell.
I write this tract because wherever you are and whoever you are, you will sooner or later be subtly attacked by someone, who will under question or after they have aroused sufficient interest in you, announce that they are 'Jehovah's Witnesses.' They are not. They are Salesmen for the Serpent. They are Odors of the devil. You might reply, 'Now mister, that is an unkind thing to say about anyone's religious convictions.' I answer, 'Kindness is not my first obligation, but truth.' Paul said concerning false teachers. "I would they were even cut" (put to death) (Gal. 5:8-12). The Lord said concerning false teachers, "Ye make them twofold more a child of hell than yourselves." He called them hypocrites, blind guides and fools (Matt. 23:14-23). The swords of these mistaken crusaders are dripping with the blood of the unlearned and unwary. You, your children, and your neighbor's children are their targets. Do we have a right to ignore them by saying 'every man to his own religion'? Certainly not! They are more dangerous and less discriminating than the "mad scientist" who would poison a city water supply with a deadly but undetectable bacteria. I will, therefore, deal with just a few of their most vital and deadly heresies, and try to give some Bible instruction as to what your reaction should be, when they call. Since they are victims of their own destructive devices, I will give more space to Bible truth than to the "Jehovah's Witnesses" heresy which it refutes so that, if possible, I may help to enlighten any "Jehovah's Witnesses" who may read this tract, for I desire to see them saved.
A SATANIC APPROACH
When Satan came to Eve in the garden, he pretended that he wanted to enlighten her as to an opportunity to be wise and God-like (Gen. 3:4,5). What he, in fact, desired to do and did, was to slander God (Gen. 3:5) and bring death to the human race (Gen. 4:8 and Gen. chapter 5). When any religious ambassador hesitates to identify himself, as did Satan in the garden, or tries to disguise the subject he really wishes to discuss, his approach is Satanic and his religion will almost certainly be the same.
