Well done brother, You were spot on!
God lead me out of JW in 2015. Iv never felt more joy, since I found Jesus! 😀☀️
Henry Santiago idk if your a brother but I had this same thing happen to me I personally think it's the demons who are testing us right now but you know what if we end up surviving we may have the last laugh but.. if they are willing to accept jehovah then there spared
Henry Santiago BTW what kindomhall do u go to in Spanish English?
Henry Santiago very interesting story I hope to see you become a wittness
Henry Santiago thank you speaking of the Bible what's your favorite stricture mine is John 3:16
Was he breaking the Sabbath? How can you make YOURSELF equal with God?
JW: Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about Jesus Christ?
Me: Sure guys, what do you wanna know?
Wow, praise God, that’s a great response.
JP Beauregard isn't your Jesus part of a trinity? Isn't the trinity a mystery? So how can you know Jesus if he is a mystery? To know God and Jesus means everlasting life....so the simple answer is. You do not know Jesus !
@jazzbassf fenderjazz Who said the trinity is a mystery? The bible clearly talks about how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit being one.
@@samuelcristea4196 I was a Catholic for 30 years and the trinity did not make sense to me, so I asked the priest to explain and I still couldn't make sense, his answer to me and all the Trinitarians I spoke with tell me it's a mystery.
@@jazzbassf I don't know what they teach at the Catholic church, but based on the bible, we know that Jesus, being part of the Holy Trinity, is God's son and God in one. He is equal with God as mentioned in John 10:30 which states "I and My father are one." Jesus paid a debt no one could pay by dying on the cross for our sins (which I'm sure you know). So if we sin, we can repent of that sin by crying out to God in forgiveness. But after obtaining this grace and mercy from God, Paul says in Romans 6:1, 2 that this does not get us a free pass to sin. Read this passage,
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:1-11
God created a way for us to become righteous, not by our own works, but through him. Glory and praise to the father!!
God bless you my brother/sister in Christ. I pray he works on your heart as you seek him. Let me know if you still have any questions.

I had a JW come to my door a few years ago, I asked the lady if she believed that only 144,000 people were going to heaven, she said Yes. I then asked her how many people followed JW Faith, she said millions. I then asked her how does she knows she is one of the 144,000? She said we have different beliefs and to have a nice day. I told her the same and that Christ died for all of us.
Wittneses beleive they will be resurrected on earth not heaven. There will be a few people that have the heavenly calling. But most will be ressurected to earth.
That always gets them.. And that Jehovah is a false name its truly yahweh or YHWH translated Jehovah in English. They hate that someone knows original Hebrew.
She should've said, that she doesn't have a heavenly calling and she hopes for an earthly life. Just because JWs believe that only 144 000 will be resurrected to heaven, that doesn't mean that only the 144 000 will be saved.
so.. babies and children are not allowed in heaven? even though jesus said that heaven belongs to them?
what a bunch of dumbasses
@@InitialPC you do know the majority resurrected will be on earth and not heaven right? lol

@@debbievilleneuve9799 if you're in harmony with the Lord's, then God is working through your organization. No.1 the sanctification of the Fathers name Ezekiel 36:23 I will sanctify my great name which was profaned and the nations will have to know I am Jehovah. Jesus made God's name known at John 17:6. The name Jesus means " JEHOVAH is Salvation" no.2 is the Kingdom, Jesus was sent by God to preach the Kingdom Luke 4:43 "for this I've been sent to preach the kingdom of God "...
No.3 God's will done on earth as in heaven, if Heaven is a paradise , then it's God's will done for earth to be a paradise too. Psalms 37:29 the righteous themselves will possess the Earth and live forever upon it " the Earth will never be destroyed Ecclesiastes 1:4 which says a generation is coming a generation is Cohen but the Earth remains forever" so if you are in harmony with the Lord's Prayer then God is working through you just like Jehovah's Witnesses who are in harmony with that prayer. Many blessings to you if you can see what the Bible says about whom God is using.

I love how this video is about leading people to Jesus and not being offensive to people of other faiths.
It's a gentle approach, but if I were a JW missionary I still might still be offended by the bold claim that my religion is, on a central issue, false. That's not to say I couldn't instead be appreciative of genuine good-faith critique.

@@lwmaynard5180 why are you typing so weird on purpose?
At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is the third person of the Trinity, why does it not know? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And the “Holy Ghost” is part of the Trinitarian chain.
Similarly, on an earlier occasion Jesus had said: “No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son.” (Luke 10:22) Once again, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is a conscious part of the “Godhead,” coequal with the Father and the Son, why does it not know?
More than 20 years after Jesus died and ascended to heaven, the apostle Paul wrote: “‘For who has known the mind of the Lord [the Father] so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16) How is it possible to have “the mind of Christ” and yet not know “the mind of the Lord”-if the Father and the Son are coequal? This doctrine was unknown to the Hebrew prophets and Christian apostles.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967 edition, Vol. XIV, p. 306) admits that “the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the OT [Old Testament].” It also admits that the doctrine must be dated as from about three hundred and fifty years after the death of Jesus Christ. So the early Christians who were taught directly by Jesus Christ did not believe that God is a “Trinity.”
When Jesus was on earth he certainly was not equal to his Father, for he said there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Furthermore, he prayed to his Father for help when undergoing trial. (Luke 22:41, 42) Also, he himself said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Because of this, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”-
@acousticcade3889 Jesus never claimed to be God, yet there are tons of scriptures that show Jesus is not God but the son of God, and just one scripture of many is Jesus remained modest, always directing all glory to his Father: “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.” “The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative.” “I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.”-Luke 18:18, 19; John 5:19, 30; 8:46; 14:6. In the book of Revelation the glorified Lord Jesus Christ repeatedly speaks of his Father as “my God.” At Revelation 3:12, for example, we read: “The one that conquers-I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine.” This is in full harmony with Jesus’ earlier statement to Mary Magdalene: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.”-John 20:17
@acousticcade3889 First of all if The holy spirit was a person it would be mentioned primarily in John 1:1 and there is no mention because it's not, there are only 2 mentioned which is God Jehovah, and Jesus , What is your point on John 4:25-26? or question?
I was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and spent 40 years as a die-hard advocate. Through life traumas, God showed me the truth about that cult, and I was finally exposed to the real gospel. Just as Jesus was worshiped by His disciples when He appeared to them after His resurrection, we Christians today do rightly worship Him as God the Son.
Don't forget about worshipping Jehovah as God the Father and his spirit as God the Holy Spirit also. Never forget Trinity.
You just made my day! I have had good friends who were JW’s and I learned bitterly, that that is one HARD religious cult for people to escape from. I am so glad you are set free.

What Winger has said is not true, the pharisees accused Jesus of "breaking the sabbath"... which was a lie because they misunderstood what the sabbath meant.. likewise the pharisees thought that making yourself the son of someone, makes you the same as their father,.. which is also not true..... I am not my father, but I am my father's son, it doesn't make me my father, it seems logic is thrown out the window in favor of trying to think you can understand the bible when you're a Trinitarian... And of course this begs the next question if you are evangelical and believe what wingers told you.....
did Jesus break the Sabbath as the Jews accused him of doing...
I would be interested to know if trinitarians thought Jesus did break his father's laws....as he was accused of by the Jews.... If on the other hand he didn't break the law then neither was he making himself = to God by claiming to be the Son of God..... I can't understand the reasoning, it's ridiculous to think that being the son makes you the father, but remember what Jesus said about the Jews, the religious leaders were from their father the devil,.. . so I have to ask you also why would trinitarians try to take the word of enemies of Christ In proving their doctrine of the Trinity,... all I can say is shame on you..

Because we don’t celebrate pagan Christendom events , don’t fight war or accept transfusions? Or is it because we go house to house , door to door spreading the Good news of the kingdom to come and teach people about what the ransom sacrifice means for the future ?
@@shaydenwadleyfirst off, you are not hated. As Christians our hearts break for you that you do not know the freedom that there is in Christ. All of those works you are doing are not earning you salvation and are wearing JWs down, giving them a very high depression rate.
You are told to isolate yourselves and not become friends with those who don't believe the same things as you. Why is the JW faith not strong enough to stand being friends with those of different belief systems? Jesus never tells us to only talk to others if we think we can make them believe the exact same thing as us.
Our hearts break as we hear the things that the organization is telling you. That you need to be prepared to do whatever they tell you. Jesus wanted us to have a relationship with Him and to follow Him. Not to be so dependent on an organization to tell us what to do.
Praying for you Shayden. That you may learn of the hope and freedom that come from following Christ.

@@NickHawaii Matt 5:22 (NWT): "However, I say to you that everyone who continues wrathful+ with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice"
NWT here has Jesus stating that if one becomes angry (wrathful), then they have sinned. Jesus got angry twice, so the NWT states that Jesus is a sinner which invalidates the Gospel. The word/concept of 'continued wroth' isn't even represented in the original Greek that I can tell for this verse.
Starwars is Dead Sadly that's not what the NWT is saying at all. Right now I'm actually putting my hand on my forehead, shaking my head back and forth. It's actually painful to hear someone literally butcher the text and the understanding of the NWT, as bad as you just did.
The NWT translation is in fact not saying that if someone becomes angry, that they have sinned. This is in direct conflict and violation of what the scriptures teach.
For instance, the Greek translated word for anger at Matthew 5:22 is "orgizo". Definition #1 is to "be angry", and also "is positive when inspired of God, and negative when arising from the flesh."
To further confirm that anger can be a good thing, and is not in of itself a sin, is further confirmed at Ephesians 4:26, were we read "Be wrathful, but do not sin." Please quote this from your favorite translation.
The Greek word for "wrathful" here at Ephesians 4, is the same Greek word that is used at Matthew 5:22 for "anger".
Therefore the scriptures indicate it is okay to become upset, if someone verbally or emotionally abuses you, or if you in fact see injustice taking place. You can in fact get upset, and justifiable anger is not in of itself sin. However as the scriptures indicate, just do not sin. It is when anger gets out of control, and a person loses his temper, that sin is likely to result.
So therefore the NWT has rendered the text correctly, in that harboring resentment, or holding on to anger toward a fellow believer, for quite a period of time will result in sin.
Finally the Borean Bible translates Matthew 5:22, similarly to the NWT, we read "But I say to you that everyone being angry with his brother"...
@@NickHawaii yes. Your bible somewhat follows Alexandrian text. That is where you get a passage that make christ a sinner. Your bible contradicts itself.
Matt 5:22 "borean bible" aka minority text. "But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment."
ANYONE including the speaker himself since this quote is before the cross. So ephesians can say whatever it wants. It contradicts itself. Who is telling the truth here? Jesus? Paul?
The usage of it was orgizomenos, "being angry with". The quote gives no context of which anger. Just anger. Moreover it is a direct command from Jesus about anger so referencing God in this context makes no sense since this is about contrasting people against sin and anger. Not God and anger. Most scholars side with the byzantine text for issues like this. But to accept that is to accept also that Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
Starwars is Dead Yes the form used of this word was ὀργιζόμενος, a present passive participle verb form of the word. it comes from the root οργη, meaning anger. that Jesus showed anger, got angry on several occasions is beyond dispute. "For example, the anger of Jesus was not simply “spiritual” anger; it was real anger (Mark 3:1-6) which sometimes involved inflamed speech (e.g., Matt. 18:1-6; 23:1-39; cf. Gal. 5:12; Rev. 16) as well as physical violence (John 2:15)" Holmgren, F. C. (1987). Israel alive again: a commentary on the books of Ezra and Nehemiah (p. 155).
In fact the Dictionary of Bible themes section 2009 is entitled "Jesus Christ, Anger of" which details every place Jesus showed anger.
So a student of the Bible needs to reconcile verse 5:22 with the fact that Jesus got angry on occasion. Most translations are vastly inferior to the NWT translation in translating the present participle as "is angry", "are angry" with exceptions of the NEB and REB (an update of the NEB) that have "nurses anger".
These other translation give the impression that just to get angry is a sin, which Ephesians 4:26 and Ecclesiastes 1 for instance proves that it is not, (unless all hate is without anger, LOL).
The NWT translators understood that while on many occasions the present tense/aspect of a verb may be simply translated with the present tense forms of 'to be', is and are, the context and general knowledge of the subject must also be consulted as to whether the continuous action of the verb -which also can be nuanced in the present tense needs to be emphasized.
The continuous action of the verb is emphasized by the NWT by the NWT rendering, "continues wrathful", hence the long duration of anger against one's brother is emphasized by the the NWT, NEB and REB, but virtually all other translations cause Jesus to be a hypocrite with their un-nuanced translations.
Hence your argumentation is actually against all OTHER translations that do not pick up on this nuance, so they make Matthew 5:22 sound as though it is wrong to ever get angry, tell Jesus that .
Most translations state they follow NA28 as their translation source whereas NWT follows WH. Yet majority of translations switch to following the wescott/hort greek text at Mark 1:41 and read 'moved with compassion' following the greek verb in WH, σπλαγχνισθεις, having been moved with pity, instead of the Greek text they usually follow, NA28 which actually has a form of orgizo, ὀργισθείς, having been made angry, hence another proof of Jesus becoming temporarily angered, having the emotion of anger. note the following.
"The NIV describes Jesus as “filled with compassion.” What the NIV does not note is that a very old and important manuscript (D) reads “filled with anger.” In this context and coming from Jesus, anger initially seems wrong. That may argue for its originality, however, since copyists tended to change difficult readings into more acceptable ones.
Moreover, the fact that both Matt 8:3 and Luke 5:13 omit the word in their retelling of the story is more explainable if the original word were “anger” than if it were “compassion.” Anger may not be as offensive as it first appears if one recalls that in Judg 10:16 “[God] became indignant over the misery of Israel” (RSV), much as Jesus does here.
If “anger” was the original reading, it must clearly mean that Jesus was indignant at the misery of the leper (so John 11:33-38), for Jesus willingly healed him. As though the leprosy were dispelled by holy wrath, Mark declares, “Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.” Edwards, J. R. (2002). The Gospel according to Mark (p. 70). Eerdmans.
You say, "whaddya meme?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good advice. May I also recommend using the following...
Open the door with your Bible in hand and go to John 14:6. Keep the discussion and focus on that verse because it puts the focus on JESUS.
This has proven to work for me. They stop coming to my house because they saw my license plate (JHN 14 6) and I would not let the discussion get off that verse.
Proven effective!!
@Davidjon Daddy. Coupled with your "verse of the day," the question could be asked of them "Why does the Watchtower claim to be "the truth" when Jesus Himself already said that HE is the Truth?" "THE truth" is very specific (not 'a' truth') and it is JESUS, not the Watchtower. You have a great method. I hope I added to it a bit. Blessings!
Jesus was the way…the way to his God and Father Jehovah. If you are a mediator you can’t be the one you are between.
I always ask them to read Hebrews chapter one out loud with me.
Love that chapter
It’s important to remember Jesus is God. The Father is God. The Holy Spirit is God. But all three are distinct persons.
Jesus was fully human as well as being fully God. In his humanity he did not want to suffer and was tempted in all points as we are. But his essence was still God.
@@---qb1bf This is why the Trinity exists.
The Son is not the Father, but they are both God alongside the Holy Spirit.
@@---qb1bf Jehovah is the father of Jesus people think that Jesus and Jehovah is the same they’re not u don’t have to go off Bible if u feel it’s fake but I started studying not to long ago and I love JW the Bible really speaks to me and answers my questions

@@Jesussaves1993 ha ha ha! Good one
God loves you 🙏
Honestly as a Jehovah’s Witness, most of us have gotten guns pulled on us, (sometimes more than once) when we go up to a door, or just screamed at lol so if you invite us in we get really happy wether your polite or not. Also you can always just put a sign on your door that says “no watchtower people” lol 😂 or just no Jehovah’s witnesses. Also if you put a sign that says “no soliciting” even though we aren’t, some Jehovah’s witnesses won’t knock because they don’t want to make people angry.
I've wondered what to say in the past, now it was on my feed. Thank you Lord and thank you Mike for listening to the Spirit, keep it up!!!
Read Philippians 2: 5,6
Revelation 1:17,18 also. Who is that speaking of?
Eve 9:20
For any neighbor who approches, must accept the passers by smell, for God has said to all he who smelt it dealt it
Wyatt Cerri What does Jesus do in the future at 1 Corinthians 15:24-28? 🤔
watching this 9 years in the future from when it was made and its great to see that Mike has always been ground in the Bible.
Yeah he's an idiot at throwing the NWT BIBLE on the Ground , with the name JEHOVAH written over 7000 in it ? ? ?
Please keep these videos and never remove them, this is Gold lol
Thanks man....this young kid approached me at the bus stop yesterday and thought it was nice but didnt want to make him feel bad and thought to refresh on questions to ask them for the next run in!!!!
This was superb material to prepare myself with the inevitable 'knock on the door' and cope with and possibly plant some seeds in the heads of a Jehovah Witness. Thanks and God Bless
soccertoons What did Jesus answer? Did he say yes I am or ... look at Vs 19. The son can do nothing of himself?????? Sure a real claim to equality ... not. He can do only what he sees the father do and then .... vs 26 makes it worse trinitarians is Jesus has to be given life in himself, he does not have it naturally. Context counts more than fake claims.
In my experience, I've found a seven gallon bucket of ice water, complete with ice cubes, works wonders. No JW has knocked on my door in over ten years and, in fact, I haven't even seen one on my street in all of that time.
My ex SIL is a JW and tells me they do have a ''Do not call list."
Please pray for my wife, she is currently studying with the JW'S and it is ripping our family apart.
R H did you not read in the scriptures that anyone who loves mother ,brother, sister more than me is not worthy of me, also the enemies of your household will be your family.
@jazzbassf fenderjazz I know that scripture very well. Micah chapter 7 is were Jesus got that from check it out. Micah 7:5-6 Do not put faith in your companion Or trust a close friend. Guard what you say to the one who lies in your embrace. 6 For a son despises his father, A daughter rises up against her mother, And a daughter-in-law is against her mother-in-law; A man’s enemies are the men of his household.
@@rh3309 so tell me RH why are people turning against you and disrupting the family is it because you're studying the Bible? What are they afraid of everything Jehovah's Witnesses believe in is in the Bible

Man alive!! Watching Mike Winger’s early days give me hope for my channel!! 🤣🤣🤣 that “You don’t have to hide” jingle is legit tho!!
Hahaha, it's young Mike Winger! I didn't know you have been making videos this long.
At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is the third person of the Trinity, why does it not know? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And the “Holy Ghost” is part of the Trinitarian chain.
Similarly, on an earlier occasion Jesus had said: “No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son.” (Luke 10:22) Once again, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is a conscious part of the “Godhead,” coequal with the Father and the Son, why does it not know?
More than 20 years after Jesus died and ascended to heaven, the apostle Paul wrote: “‘For who has known the mind of the Lord [the Father] so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16) How is it possible to have “the mind of Christ” and yet not know “the mind of the Lord”-if the Father and the Son are coequal? This doctrine was unknown to the Hebrew prophets and Christian apostles.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967 edition, Vol. XIV, p. 306) admits that “the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the OT [Old Testament].” It also admits that the doctrine must be dated as from about three hundred and fifty years after the death of Jesus Christ. So the early Christians who were taught directly by Jesus Christ did not believe that God is a “Trinity.”
When Jesus was on earth he certainly was not equal to his Father, for he said there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Furthermore, he prayed to his Father for help when undergoing trial. (Luke 22:41, 42) Also, he himself said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Because of this, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”-
haha didn't know Mike has this side of him..
hope to see more of this! 😂😂😂
The beginning of this video cracked me up😂😂😂 wasn’t ready for this version of Mike Winger!
Bruh...like literally few days back God lead me to read this chapter and I found the exact two verses to stand out, ofc my intention to search it is because my Grandma kept quoting me that verse where Jesus says that the Father is greater than Him(which is undoubtedly from the same chapter having a context). I'm blown away by God's Faith it's just good. He never fails His promises and He's definitely gon save my grandma from the cult!!! Please keep her and my family in your prayers, and God bless you Bro. Mike and all the others reading, thank you:)💗🔥
@April G .. but none of those scriptures show a 'Trinity' - how so?
Do you have problems reading plain English?
I like it. When Witnesses come to my door, I engage them in polite conversation and often end up asking them if 'Jesus lives in their hearts'. "Do you have the Spirit of Christ in your heart" I ask? If you don't, the bible says you don't belong to God. It always makes them think. Good video, thanks :)
Where in God's Word is it written Jesus lives in their hearts?
@@jamesneale8131 There are actually quite a few scriptures which state this. For instance Colossians 1:27 "Christ in you, the hope of glory". Also in Romans 8:9&10 which says that if the Spirit of GOD doesn't dwell in us we can't please Him -- then right after it repeats "But if anyone doesn't have the Spirit of CHRIST, he does not belong to to Him. (So Spirit of God is the same as Spirit of Christ -- that's oneness) Then in verse 10: "And if Christ is in you. . ." Of course, to be more exact God / Jesus lives in our hearts via the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for your reply Rocco Panepinto, another question though, how then does the spirit of Christ come to reside in our hearts?
@@jamesneale8131 better read the bible amd talk to the holy spirit man. I can also explain it to you, but i perceived that you dont have communion with the Word of God.. you need to talk to God personally everyday
@@user-fg7kk1kn6b with my question I was hoping that Rocco would explain his position regarding Christ and how he came to it.
I feel that anytime I hear that infamous JW knock, I’ll also see the clouds open and the sun shine through with a voice singing “YOU DON’T HAVE TO HIDE WHEN JEHOVAH WITNESSES COME TO YO DOOR OH!”
So many admit they hide but why? We love our neighbors and want to share with them the best news ever. 😀
@Margaret Kpeh Many opposers love to call Jehovah’s Witnesses a cult. That isn’t the case with us.
@Margaret Kpeh Who are the closest to Jesus’ real disciples who have love among themselves? Jesus said we would know them by the love. (John 13:35)
@Margaret Kpeh That wasn’t my question? Can you try again?
I just tell them you teach me your religion then I want you to accept Blessed Virgin Mary. Then they walk out and says have a nice day

I decided to give the JWs love and a pineapple plant. I showed them our dragon fruit plants and we discussed the beauty of God’s creation. My heart was filled for compassion for them, they are “so close” yet so lost without Jesus and who he really is.
Please pray the seeds sown will bear good fruit by the work of the Holy Spirit.
Are you saying we don’t believe in Jesus ? Jesus is king of the kingdom he set the example for us on how to live our lives . Was lovely of you to be civilised with our fellow brothers. . Jehovahs creation is amazing . Have you read Rev 3:14 and proverbs 8:22-30 may I urge you to check it out and let me know what you make of it . Thank you
I don't know much about Jehovah witness(es), but I had a couple of elderly jw ladies who knocked on the door this afternoon. Quick side note I'm a new Christian - gave my life to Christ September 12, 2019. Following the short small talk with the ladies I told them as they walked up, I'd rcd a strong presence of the Holy Spirit and just prior I was also in the house listening to a sermon/podcast about the book of Revaluation. Then with excitement I raised my hand up high and said "Lord Jesus, please come back soon!"
I am 100% confident that the Holy Spirit was making intercessions on my behalf.
Praise Jesus 🤲🙏🙌👏

Well done. As a former Evangelical still a believer I think you're providing a great service.
I said to one once, "Okay. I'll let you talk to me about your religion and your god, and I'll tell you about Jesus and my relationship with Him."
He left. I would have gladly shared my testimony with him, but he didn't want to hear it.
He doesn't believe you have a testimony worth hearing, that's why he wouldn't listen to you. because Jesus isn't God...Any testimony you claim to have is as valid as that of the mormons... It's not based on accurate knowledge. But emotion....hence why he didn't want to waste his time.
@@ottooctavius585 Yet, you wasted yours by replying to me. I could say your comment or opinion is invalid, but that is just my opinion. I don't base my life on others' opinions, thank goodness. I believe in Jesus. It's your choice not to.

This is the shortest most specific Mike Winger video I've seen. Well done pastor!
Jack Jones What he doesn’t talk about is Jesus always has someone who is God to him. Jehovah is His Name.
Over the years I’ve seen lots of these types of videos where one Chrisian attacks other Christians for some reason or other.
The protagonist expressing their viewpoint has a ‘knowledge based’ faith and is still developing the Christian character.
A faith clothed with Holy Spirit leaves no room for anger, malice, slander, and the like, but is manifest by a compassionate heart, kindness, meekness, and patience - Col. 3:5 - 16. ESV.

I'm sure they'll enjoy that!! Almost are encouraged when people ask questions, it will give them motivation to come back.
Spaceman Spiff I’m a JW. Ask me any questions as if I came by to talk. I’m ready.
A bucket of stale fishwater works wonders. After a thorough dousing, JWs crossed my entire street off of their calling list. I've not seen a JW on my entire street in 20 years or even in the general area after I applied my techique on them, making sure I thoroughly doused their Awake proganda sheets.
1. Where do your beliefs come from. I sugest they come from a person in the last few centuries who proclaimed new teachings which have no historical basis. Why should i believe this person, did he do miracles to prove he was from God? Do your beliefs match up with first century Christian beliefs? If not, why? Do you believe Christianity was wrong until your organisation turned up? If so, why do you believe any of it, including the bible?
Good follow-ups! They work well for anyone (Mormons, etc) who had "added to or taken away" from the Bible.
.
Basically, if the Bible is insufficient, then why trust any of it? Jesus affirmed the Old Testament, and he proved what the inspired NT authors say about him thru miracles and the resurrection. Christianity all hinges on Jesus being trustworthy, and in the end we trust him with our souls or we do not.
That's 7 questions.
Mike! This is HILARIOUS!! And really helpful!!! Thank you!! And I love the jingle!!! 🤣
Oh wow, old school Mike Winger videos! I love it! I'm digging your style bro! 😎 what a beautiful inspiration 😍
I want to personally thank you Mike Winger. Mr. Winger you have really opened my eye for my need to study, and understand the word of God. Oh Here is another verse about Jesus being equal with God. In the beginning was the "word" and the word was with God and the word was God.. Later in the chapter proclaims the word became flesh and dwelt among us. That would be Jesus.
Just say 'no thanks, have a nice day' and close the door. Simple. I wouldn't engage them in any conversation because they'll keep coming back to debate with you lol.
They will keep coming back anyway. "no thanks" will do nothing. Claim to worship Satan or that you are an apostate. They will leave you alone then.

"You don't have to hide went Jehovah's witnesses knock on your door".

@ Daniel - the bible is tosh.
@ Kitty - Thank you dear. My Fanny is very popular in our neighborhood.
Kitty in the Sky with Diamonds Jehiva witness are all connected with there info they more it down that u are not interested and if they do come back either it was a misunderstanding or it has been a while and maybe you'll reconsider listening to what they have to say
Kitty in the Sky with Diamonds exposing them of what? What they believe in? Thats the reason there knocking on doors so they can share what they believe. I know some ppl don't agree on what they believe in but ppl don't have to make videos in how u think there wrong. U don't see Jehovah witnesses doing that, that's because they respect u. So u should respect them as well
How about: "Thank you, no. I'm an atheist or agnostic" and close the door?
Only if that's the truth. If ou are Christian, you must be able to use Holy Scripture to answer accurately and wisely.
you're an atheist? sooo you believe in 1 god right because atheist is A-Theist the belief in 1 god. i know what people think it means but what people think it means & what atheist actually means is different. im just trying to help
ATHEIST and A "space" THEIST are two completely different things.
A__"THEIST" is a person who believes in one god that rules and governs all creation but does not believe in the trinity.
an "ATHEIST" is someone who denies the existence of any god
Thanks for clearing that up for Cheyenne. The prefix A on a word means not or non, as in Atheist, Atypical, Asymmetrical etc.

What Winger has said is not true, the pharisees accused Jesus of "breaking the sabbath"... which was a lie because they misunderstood what the sabbath meant.. likewise the pharisees thought that making yourself the son of someone, makes you the same as their father,.. which is also not true..... I am not my father, but I am my father's son, it doesn't make me my father, it seems logic is thrown out the window in favor of trying to think you can understand the bible when you're a Trinitarian... And of course this begs the next question if you are evangelical and believe what wingers told you.....
did Jesus break the Sabbath as the Jews accused him of doing...
I would be interested to know if trinitarians thought Jesus did break his father's laws....as he was accused of by the Jews.... If on the other hand he didn't break the law then neither was he making himself = to God by claiming to be the Son of God..... I can't understand the reasoning, it's ridiculous to think that being the son makes you the father, but remember what Jesus said about the Jews, the religious leaders were from their father the devil,.. . so I have to ask you also why would trinitarians try to take the word of enemies of Christ In proving their doctrine of the Trinity,... all I can say is shame on you..
It seems Mr winger came up with this on his own, hence why it fails....again.
At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is the third person of the Trinity, why does it not know? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And the “Holy Ghost” is part of the Trinitarian chain.
Similarly, on an earlier occasion Jesus had said: “No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son.” (Luke 10:22) Once again, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is a conscious part of the “Godhead,” coequal with the Father and the Son, why does it not know?

The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967 edition, Vol. XIV, p. 306) admits that “the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the OT [Old Testament].” It also admits that the doctrine must be dated as from about three hundred and fifty years after the death of Jesus Christ. So the early Christians who were taught directly by Jesus Christ did not believe that God is a “Trinity.”
When Jesus was on earth he certainly was not equal to his Father, for he said there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Furthermore, he prayed to his Father for help when undergoing trial. (Luke 22:41, 42) Also, he himself said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Because of this, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”-

@@alexshatner3907 otto is not a Trinitarian...Jehovah's Witnesses are not Trinitarians.
I lived in an area where there’s some pretty aggressive and relentless JWs that would routinely pound on my door. There’s always two of them- one is experienced, and one is inexperienced. And they always have a pitch. The aggressive one, the one who starts the conversation, or attempts to start the conversation with you at the door has more “experience”.
I had a good friend in high school and elementary school who was raised in the JW religion, so I had a lot of exposure to their crap.
Anyway, on this particular day, I got my door banged on by them. I knew who they were before I even opened the door. The experienced one throws her pitch out at me immediately, and hers was, “We are here on ‘Christian’ business, and we know that everybody is worried about all the terrible things that are going on in the world and it’s really scary.” Okay. Weird. Opening up with fear tactics to try to draw you in.
I was kind of busy and I don’t know where it came from but I wanted to end the conversation before it even started, and so I responded “I don’t really worry about what’s going on in the world today. I put my faith in Jesus Christ. Who do you put your faith in?“
That was the closest I ever saw actual steam coming out of someone’s ears. The nervous inexperienced girl was shuffling her feet and looking at her “leader“ for some kind of direction, and the experienced woman snarled at me and huffed a little bit, jammed her watchtower magazines back into the briefcase, and stormed off.
I guess that was too challenging of a question for her.
During 2020 I started getting handwritten letters from JWs instead of visits because of Covid. I wrote back to one of them. I was polite, but I told them that I was annoyed that are they only used their first names… No last name… And gave no real return address on their letter, and Yet felt that it was OK to know MY name, first and last, and send me a letter where they could remain anonymous basically. The return address was their particular branch of kingdom hall. I also told them that they probably should throw away the perverted Bible and go to the web site, bible gateway, and do some comparison reading of the different legitimate versions of the Scriptures. They did not respond.
I’ve tried to engage with JW as a few times, and used scripture and was patient and kind and so on and so on but my experience was that they are so brainwashed that most of them just are literally spiritually blind. I did unsettle a number of inexperienced ones when I used scripture to point out their errors… So maybe those planted seeds took hold… I don’t know, but the longer a person is in that cult, the harder it is for them to break away.
Just ignore JWs. Simple.
Ezekiel 2:5 As for them, whether they listen or refuse to listen-for they are a rebellious house-they will certainly know that a prophet was among them.
As an exJW my favourite starter is: According to the NT who has the name that is greater than any name?
Another follow on is: The Bible agrees with you that we are Witnesses. But according to Jesus's final words, who are we witnesses of?
It can get a discussion because of their obsession with the name Jehovah.
I've used this verse (23) before, but not with the second question. They deny the intended implication of the passage (v18 in particular). I've asked if they give Jesus the same honor as the Father which has been effective.
Another passage I've tried to use is Hebrews 1, and have yet to hear an adequate response concerning the quotation of Psalm 102 in Hebrews 1: 10-12.
I've tried very hard and have yet to hear of any success, but I won't let that stop me.
I like the questioning method you use. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
you may sow, but yet others may reap...we are to bring knowlegde of Jesus and his father ,Jehovah to all, your seeds may hit fertile soil but take time to take hold...let us all confess our love of the Christ ....I thankyou too for the question you raise, that is one I would like to use with the witnesses..God Bless
All I say to them “So you are a Jehovah’s Witness?” And then they’ll say “Yes” and then I ask them “So when did you witness Jehovah?” And I hardly ever get a response after that...
I do ask the same question and they will quote Isaiah 43:10🤔
@Karen GodisGood. Great question. You could respond with "You shall be MY witnesses." (Jesus speaking at Acts 1:8) Jesus didn't say "you shall be my Father's witnesses."

Mike, I love this video so much! It’s so interesting to see how your video style has refined over the last 10 years.
Thank you for growing your channel and the quality of your videos...
I usually lead the conversations with most of them. I had a few little sweet old women that visited me one day, wound up bringing two more from their congregation next visit just so they could have them meet & talk with me. It wasn't terrible.
I also have that experience.. It wasnt bad. Theyre helping me to understand the truth and the bible's true message. I became a bible study. They never quit helping and teaching me they are so amazing! Praise God's kingdom!
I actually compared them to other belief system and I think theyre teachings are really based on the bible! I never heard those messages to other religion and you can really see it by the fruits of their organization. By the time you fully understand the bible and all stuff, u can actually realize that this is the truth and its different forn the other religion!
My friend let us continue finding the gems and we will know in the end that God has a brighter future for those people who really seek about Truth and God and whats life's purpose☺☺
Welcome them!
May you have a blessed way of learning! Jehovah will bless you☺
@@memyself8172 They we're not teaching you the truth. It's an organization that blasphemes God.
Love this! You should through in one of these video methods now, to spice it up a little bit!^^ I actually used to talk to JW every time they knocked on my door, before I was a Christian, and I asked them so many questions (because I was genuinely interested, also to figure out the difference between JW and Christianity), that I can’t recall them ever getting to either point B or C^^
SINCE CHRISTENDOM IS A DIVIDED HOUSE ? ? ? IS IT NOT PROPHESIED TO FALL ! ! !
As a former Witness. I just tell them I'm not interested and close the door respectively. If you don't do nothing they will mark you as not home and most likely return. No religious debate is going to change anything. If anything it will solidify their persecution complex. A seed might help but self discovery and awareness that you are trapped in a cult will bring them out of it. That's what happened to me.
I agree- when they come to your door it’s either you welcome them or you don’t- if you don’t tell them you don’t- and they will leave in peace and that’s it .
This is classic! I'm just seeing this 8 years later solid gold. Good info though for sure.
This video suddenly popped up in my recommended, can we have the intro back🤣
When a couple Christians came to my door recently they asked if they could share Jesus with me. I asked if I'd have equal time to try and bring them to atheism. They looked stunned and said, "No." "Then I guess we don't have anything to talk about, have a nice day." With that I smiled and sent them on their way.
Don't go knocking on people's door selling something if you yourself are closed off to buying. Cheers.
I would have said yes
Mike Winger I'm curious to know what you believe and why, if you'd care to chat. Cheers!
I believe the Bible in it's entirety. This would include the classic understanding of God, sin, salvation and Jesus' nature, death and resurrection. I don't hold those views casually or thoughtlessly. As far as why I believe, it is because of multiple reasons. I do believe that I have experienced God in profound and consistent ways and that this presents some verification of those beliefs. However, I don't think that my experience is enough reason to say that I have proven it true. Another reason for my belief is because of the evidence that supports the Bible and the resurrection of Jesus. And another reason is because of the apparent falseness of any other worldview that I have examined.
Mike Winger Mike, all people of faith speak of the validity of their belief system, while discounting the faiths of all the others they've rejected. In other words, your claims can be used by anyone who wants to believe a deity exists. Where is the actual *evidence* that your particular take on a god is valid?
Actually people of many faiths do not seek to provide any evidential support for what they believe. For instance, Mormonism teaches that the reason to believe it is because of an emotional feeling you get when you pray and ask God if it is true (though I know of Mormons who never had this feeling and pretended to because of peer pressure). Buddhism offers no justification that I am aware of for the teachings it holds. Hindu beliefs not only fail to offer any kind of apologetic but are self-contradictory in some cases, probably because it seems to be an amalgam of different pagan views without any solid unification of them. The list goes on and on, in fact, I don't know of any religion that offers the kinds of evidential support that comes with Christianity. I mentioned the categories of that support without trying to make the full case for each of them because that is too cumbersome a task for a comment section, I hope you understand that this isn't the same as me pretending something is there which isn't. How about you pick one of the categories I mentioned and I will offer a sample of the evidence that supports it?
While running errands this lady give me a pamphlet and I took it but as I was walking away I looked down and said “I’m not a Jehovas Witness”! While handing it back to her. She replied “It’s for everyone.” I literally walked away. I realize God is the one who prompt me to look at it immediately and if I took it I would’ve come in agreement with whatever that faith believes in. Glad I’m to much is love with Jesus he has brought me through so much🥲
Seeing Pastor Mike in this video made me laugh so hard! I know time changes and his content changes but it is definitely Affective on getting the truth out with Humor. I do think however I like his new style better. Deep dives is what I’m into but this is great short and to the point.
Pastor wing nut is KING OF THE CIRCUS RING , A CLOWN WITH A CROWN ? ? ? 😁 😄 😅
just had two JW in my house, & they point blank refused to watch this video, I made a compromise & had to put headphones on then relay the relevant bits, but it didn't go too well , as I am sure you can imagine that is not the best way to convey the points, Btw they both pointed out with some satisfaction that the uploader is using an outdated NWT... (they said "he should be unseeing the grey NWT not the black one) That just made me think blimey how often do they change their book? I did say to them I was disappointed in them refusing to watch the video as it says to me that their faith is easily rocked.
I think its the first time since they first made the original, but to be frank, interpretations are similar to the anus, everyone has one and mostly stink. But gosh darn I love the person Jesus was, too bad that's been lost in time.... I'm curious, do any of you believe in the cross? just wondering if the item used to torment and kill earth's greatest example was important enough to ignore the command of taking NO idols (no exception as far as I can tell), especially one which shares a striking resemblance to the Babylonian god Tamus symbol?.....
These are great points you make about Christendoms idolatry. Actually your absolutely right, the stake Jesus was killed on was an upright pole, only for the surrounding nations unholy practices was it changed and venerated later. Most important, keep Gods commandments, don't lie cheat steal fornicate kill, do be good to your neighbor and hope for the best lol.
Yea, any idiot knows the REAL Jesus is the DESTROYER, ABADDON, like the Watcthower so astutely shows. RIght?
Maybe someone should show them Isaiah 54:16. It says in 25 English translations, ...I have created the destroyer to "destroy", or "wreak havoc."
Hello Mike, i am sorry to say this in a harsh manner but you are out of your mind for saying all that you've said. Please stop misleading these people..! Jesus himself said " my father" and not my son.! Be wise and use your common sense to think.! Mr Mike, oh please stop misleading the public. A day would come when your child, your son would call you his son, i hope that would make you happy. Jesus never ever mentioned in any part of the bible that God was his son.
Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am.”-John 14:28.
Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. For example, the apostle Paul wrote that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position? -Philippians 2:9.
Jesus himself says; My "Father" has kept working until now, and I keep working.”-John 5:17.
hey consider it blasphemy for him to view God as his Father, as if Jesus’ saying that Jehovah is his Father amounts to making himself equal to God. However, Jesus is unafraid and answers them further regarding his special relationship with God. “The Father has affection for the Son,” he says, “and shows him all the things he himself does.”-John 5:20.
Jesus continues: “Just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes alive whomever he wants to.” (John 5:21) What a meaningful statement, giving hope for the future! Even now, the Son is raising the dead in a spiritual sense. Hence, Jesus says: “Whoever hears my word and believes the One who sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life.”-John 5:24
As extraordinary as Jesus’ role is, he makes it clear that he is subordinate to God, stating: “I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. . . . I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.” (John 5:30)
Please everybody reading this comment; do you always say something because somebody told you to say it, you're human, human just like that person trying to mislead you. Do your research, come up with your own answers so you could always answer for yourself and not say what other people are saying. God bless you all.

Hey Mike, thank you for this resource! I tried to implement the two John Scriptures just this afternoon and while I think it went fairly ok, the “main” JW was trying to get me off track by saying how the Holy Spirit isn’t mentioned in John 1:1, and before I could get to John 5:16-18 he took me to Philippians 2:6 and pulled that verse out of context without me realizing it. He was using an iPad that had their JW app installed on it, and had the KJV and ASV and was as their “Kingdom Translation” of the Greek text. Personally I prefer the ESV and NASB, so that’s what I told the “main” JW I prefer to use, and he seemed unfamiliar with the NASB and didn’t seem to have access to it within his JW app. I told them that I believe in the Trinity, and he tried to ask if that word is in the Bible, I countered by saying that I know it isn’t, but I believe that Scripture supports that God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit are three in one. He encouraged me to look through my Bible and find any and all evidence for that belief and we’ll use “my” Bible for our next get together. I may be a little pessimistic here, but I think I’ll be countered by them saying something to the effect of, “You’re using a poorly translated version of the Scriptures, here’s what it says in our translation and here’s our translation of the Greek text.” It seems like I have some homework to do! Definitely was not expecting the iPad and their app.
May I ask you who do you believe the Living God is? Compare Jeremiah 10:10 and Matthew 16:16. Thanks.
@@busterthefrenchbulldog5951 Thanks. Great proof texts.
The JW's are way ahead mate. Preaching is what they do best
I’ve confronted the Jehovah Witness several times . When you tell them that the King James Version of the Bible is still the best transition of the Bible they get locked up . Then I take them to the scriptures in the KJV and prove that Jesus is God manifested in the flesh . That the name that Jesus declared in John 17:20 where it says “ And I have declared unto them thy name , and will declare it : that the love wherewith thou hast love me , may be in them , and I in them “ . The name Jehovah is never mentioned in anywhere in the four gospels. The only name He ever declared is Jesus which means Jehovah has become our salvation . Then if their still there I give them Isaiah 9:6 where it says the child born is “ the mighty God , the Everlasting Father, the prince of peace “ . He’s the Emmanuel which being interpreted God with us . In Matthew 1:23 . 1TIMOTHY 3:16 “ Great is the mystery of Godliness, God was manifest in the flesh “. John 14:9 Jesus said to Philip “ he that hath seen me hath seen the Father “ . Revelation 1:8 Jesus calmed to be the “ Almighty “ . And the Bible is full of scriptures that’s proves Jesus is The Father . They will be looking for the door when you give the chapter and verse of who Jesus is . Have a blessed day .
I argue with one this morning
Louis Whitehead I covered Isaiah 9:6 in a post above. That's the problem with the KJV, it was translated by people who believed in the Trinity so that was reflected in the wording that was used. The fact is, in the 1800's the Church of England decide a new updated version was necessary since the Authorized Version had so many errors. The Revised Standard Version of 1901.
John 14:7-9 The Greek word that Matthew uses for “see” also means “to see with the mind, to perceive, know.” Since Jesus perfectly reflected God’s personality, he could say: “He that has seen me has seen the Father also.”
John 1:18 " No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him.
" The Bible does not contradict itself.
You need a modern English version of the Bible where most all the translation errors of the KJV have been corrected.
Revelation 1:8 “The Lord God says, ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the One who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty!’” (The New American Bible) Clearly, the reference here is to the Most High God Jehovah.
While Jesus Christ is referred to in the previous verse as “coming with the clouds,” the words of Revelation 1:8 and the surrounding verses show that he could not be “the Alpha and the Omega.” In the Scriptures, only the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ is spoken of as “the Lord God” and as the “Almighty.” Jesus Christ even refers to his Father as “my God.” (John 20:17; Rev. 3:12
There is no Scripture that says the Father and Jesus are the same person. It may appear that way but an unbiased examination of Scripture clarifies that.
According to the King James Version (1611), 1 Timothy 3:16 was rendered: “God was manifest in the flesh.” However, were you aware that a long battle took place to obtain an accurate text? One individual who was involved in this was John James Wetstein (1693-1754).
With many other manuscripts now confirming Wetstein’s reading, accurate modern translations read: “He was made manifest in flesh,” or “He who . . . ,” referring to Jesus Christ. (American Standard, Moffatt, Weymouth, Spencer, The New English Bible) But Wetstein was charged with tampering with the text and speaking against the doctrine of the Trinity, and this was viewed as heretical.
Accurate modern translations read: “He was made manifest in flesh,” or “He who . . . ,” referring to Jesus Christ. (American Standard, Moffatt, Weymouth, Spencer, The New English Bible)
By the way, I wouldn't be looking for the door, I'd just show you the Truth.
You can say the Father is God, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God. Then you can say the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is not God. Then you can say God is not God 3X and you still think you are sane, that you haven't lost your mind one bit.
Dave Jordan , in John 4:24 Jesus said “ God is a Spirit , and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth “ . So that tells us that God the Father is the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit . Father and Holy Spirit is the self same God . It’s not two beings but one Spirit . In Matthew 1:20 it says “ But while he thought on these things , Behold , the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream , saying , Joseph , thou sin of David , fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife : for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost “ . So the Father of Jesus is the Holy Ghost. In Colossians 1:15 it says , referring to Jesus , “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature “ . Take your Bible now and read through verse 20 in that chapter. When Jesus appeared to the disciples after his resurrection in John 20:27-29 it says in verse 28 “ And Thomas answered and said unto him , ( Jesus ) My Lord And my God “. Peter said in Acts 2:36 “ Therefore Let all the house of Israel know assuredly , they God hath made that same Jesus , whom ye have crucified , both Lord and Christ “ . Acts 20:28 says “ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock , over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers , to feed the church of God , which he purchased with his own blood “. This scripture said God purchased the church with his own blood . But God the Father didn’t have blood so he became a man so he could purchase the Church with his own blood . You see God had three titles. He was Father of creation , Son in redemption , Holy Ghost in regeneration . That’s not complicated to understand . I’m a Father , I’m a son , I’m a husband , I’m a grandfather , I’m a teacher , I’m a musician , and the list goes on but there’s only one of me . Their just titles to what I am in different situations . I’m a teacher to my pupils , I’m a father to my children , I’m a husband to my wife , I’m a musician when I play music . Jesus is the Emmanuel which being interpreted God with us in Matthew 1:23 . Jesus said several times to the Jews “ You neither know the scriptures nor the power of God “. 2 Corinthians 4:6 says “ For God , Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts , to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ “. Maybe this little Bible study will enlighten you on who God is and his name is “ JESUS “ .

Love this video! I am a new subscriber earlier roday and this video came up this evening ! Now I am prepared.! Thank you ❤🙏
Hey Mike, I think you should do this video again only talk about it from the defensive side rather than the offensive side. What I mean by that is, instead of choosing your own scripture to prove the Trinity try taking the scripture they use and explain why it doesn’t work. They have a whole list of questions to fight the Trinity. Go through and answer them.
This is way better than my standard response of, "Oh, I'm sorry...I can't listen to you...I'm in the Jehovah's Witness Protection Program."
This is even better in 2021 lol i didn't know he has such a good sense of humor. Good stuff 🙏👍
Pastor Mike has a fun side. Wow! 😂
This was fun to watch
Once a Jehova whitness rang my doorbell, I was just busy with breastfeeding my new born daughter. I opened the door with my baby in my arms. They were very kind and they just said, oh it is too cold, we go again, please close the door again :_)
That was kind of them.
And I'm happy to hear you are confident in breastfeeding your baby.
It's awful when people try to shame mothers for feeding their babies. I get that it makes people uncomfortable and feel awkward when done in public, but rudeness really isn't necessary.
And in your own home, people definitely shouldn't judge.

Let me add they are some of the nicest people I've met and, and surprisingly to me atleast they are more devoted then most other religions in my opinion, if only they could get it right, I always tell them that a friend of Jesus is a friend of mind we pray together and fellowship together i never push them away I always wondered why my grandparents always slammed the door in their face, as I aged I looked at the situation as I feel Jesus would and never push them away I fellowship with them, pray and always love when we can speak on the topics, this was until corona came and they stopped coming i kinda miss my sat meetings I always send them with food from my garden, just be good to people 😊

John 14: 26, John 16: 7-15. The Holy Spirit is Person. I stack continuously to these verses
crystal words boi in John it says the ghost in the kjv
crystal words
if the Holy Spirit is a person, then why is there not description of the Holy spirit in heaven, no throne, no robe, no white hair like the father and his son, not one mention or description. God has a Throne and Jesus sits at his right hand, the 24 elders have thrones and so do all the saints, where is the throne of the Holy Spirit in heaven. thank./ Many blessings to you if you can see that the holy spirit is not a person, even thought there are many figurative descriptions on earth which is no more a mystery than personalizing chapter Psalms 148.Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies. How can inaminate objects priase God, since only humans can do that ? Which proves the holy spirit is not a person.
@crystal words
so Crystal my friend is the holy spirit a person in heaven like Christ and the Father?
The father has a throne, Jesus has a throne, the 24 elders have at throne and all the saints have thrones. Jesus has white hair, the father has white hair, Jesus has a robe, the father has a robe. So please can you show me one scripture of a similar description of the holy spirit in heaven? So far I have never found one single scripture with such a description. According to the bible the holy spirit is everywhere and it is God's spirit of power, but it is never described as a person in heaven. Please do not show me figurative speech on earth since I can show you figurative of inanimate things described as persons like the mountains the sea etc praising God.. I can also show you blood described as crying from the ground to God, blood is not a person. Only humans can praise God see Psalms 148 "3:3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
this is why God's word is alive and exerts power Hebs 4:12
@crystal words here are more scriptures that personify inanimate things in the bible, so are these people or persons?
'Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy' (Psalm 98:8).
'When the waters saw you, they were afraid; the very deep trembled' (Psalm 77:16).
'Then the moon will be abashed, and the sun ashamed' (Isaiah 24:23).
'What have you done? Listen; your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground' (Genesis 4:10).
so it is with personifying the holy spirit which is God's power or his active force which is clearly seen in the bible when it speaks about God's powerful holy spirit.
@@jazzbassf Your argumentation is a red herring. There are several other verses that show that the Holy Spirit is a person. "When HE, the Spirit of Truth comes, HE will guide you into all the truth." Even though the Greek word for Spirit is neuter, John doesn't use neuter pronouns and definite articles that are neuter. John breaks grammar rules there and uses MASCULINE articles and pronouns. There are many verses in the New Testament that show the personality of the Holy Spirit.
The JW had a booth set up at a flea market today and I was temped to go talk with them but I need more good info such as this, thanks for sharing it.
Best response ever from my then 6 year old. *Knock on the door* my daughter "mom why you hide?" I tell her "no....you let them in, I want to talk" *god tells me to listen*
Let them in, tell them the only reason I did was because my daughter said so. They do their speal and say Jehovah witness, she says "JABOBBA?! You mean Jesus?!" They say nothing but smile, "UM...this is the house of God, in this house we believe in JESUS, LORD, SAVIOR, God!" *POINTS to the door*
No joke, they leave, with out saying anything
