JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, MORMONS, MUSLIMS AND THE NAMES OF GOD

The Cross of Jesus is God's Plus Sign To Jehovah's
Witnesses, Mormons and Muslims Too!

As I cross walk throughout the cities, I often encounter one of three religious groups also vying for the souls of men, women and children: Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Muslims. I welcome such encounters, and have prepared tract cards to hand out to each particular group.

The living and one true God has declared that he is not willing that anyone should perish. Jesus loves JWs, Latter Day Saints and Muslims too! He died on that old rugged cross for all people. That's why I always share God's love in Christ with these three groups of religious people as well.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND JEHOVAH-JESUS

I often share with Jehovah's Witnesses that I'm the authentic Jehovah Witness. Puzzled looks fill their faces, and then I explain: according to Jesus Christ and the Bible, He is Jehovah. I take them to Scriptures that prove Jesus is Jehovah. Of course, I don't leave it at that. I go on to share that the word Jehovah isn't in the Bible at all, and that, if anything, God's name is probably Yahweh, although even this name isn't in the Bible either. I then explain that the early Jewish leaders so revered God's name that they wouldn't write it down or pronounce it. Instead, they wrote four letters to represent His name--YHWH--and then much later added vowels, which came out Yahweh, or Jehovah in our translation.

THE MORMONS, AKA LATTER DAY SAINTS

The Mormons call their Creator God Elohim, which is in the Bible, and is the very first name used for God (Genesis 1). I take them to the places in the Bible that reveal Jesus as the Creator, which confuses them because it's hard for them to understand that Jesus is also Elohim. Like the other religions, they like to show what they consider discrepancies in the Bible concerning who Jesus really is, which I explain as truthful as I can. The bottom line is: The Bible reveals the Mormon's Father God (Elohim) as Jesus Christ. Just like the Jehovah's Witnesses, I invite them to call me so I can visit with them and their older leaders to discuss all this. But the calls never come.

THE MUSLIMS  AND JESUS CHRIST

For God So Loved Jehovah's Witnesses,
Mormons And Muslims Too!

Muslims revere Jesus as a teacher. But that's as far as it goes. However, when I share that Jesus is the true Allah (their word for God), puzzled looks (sometimes anger) fall across their faces. Muslims like to read verses from our Bible that they think will make the Christian confused or doubt his or her faith once read. But I have found that they totally misunderstand those verses, and quickly explain what they actually mean. Usually they just skip to another verse. I share with them that I will ask God to reveal to them in dreams just who Jesus really is. Muslims rely on their dreams to show them God's will, etc. and many Muslims have received either dreams or visions that show who Jesus really is, thus converting them to the truth: Jesus is Allah (their word for God).

All this is done in love and great patience all because Jesus died for JW's, Mormons and Muslims too! And He wants to bring them into His kingdom as well. Amen.
