"Jesus Admits His Guilt: He is God"

 

Matthew 26:64: Jesus said to him, It is as you said, Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

When I arrived at Deacon Obed Nieto's home Saturday morning, there were two ladies outside dressed in black. "Jehovah's Witnesses" coming to spread their poison was my estimation, and I was right. They had just told Obed that they believed Jesus was the Son of God, but when I challenged them on that, they said Jesus was no more than an angel. Mormons believe that Jesus was the spirit brother of Satan, thus if brothers and Satan was the top angel Lucifer then both must be angels. The Witnesses are Apostles of Denial--denying all the central truths of Scripture. I also showed them the references to the cross, and they said thta it does not mean cross. All the cults do not allow for the Cross, as that is the one thing that Satan fears most. Jesus hands stretched out to the world show the love of God and do not allow for the heretical beliefs that are fomented by Jehovah's Witnesses. Several years ago I edited a book on the testimonies of several people who left the Jehovah's Witnesses. If there was a common thread in each of those testimonies it was this: people who did not let them give their well rehearsed lies, but rather that the person answering the door took charge of the conversation and gave them their testimony of faith. I often say: "Can you give me something better than knowing my sins are forgiven, and that I know for sure that I am going to heaven." If that is all you are comfortable with saying, let that be it and close the door. Do not let them engage you unless you are prepared with the verses that prove the deity of Christ. Most of the time they will not listen as they have been so brainwashed as to just keep going with what they have been taught. I have attached a general preparation for "Witnessing to Jehovah's Witnesses." Keep it at your door, and give it a try next time they come by.

Caiaphas, the High Priest, was the original Jehovah's Witness. The Deity of Christ sickened him largely because he saw that his own empire of wealth, prestige, and power was dwindling as the crowds followed Jesus. Jesus had to be eliminated and the quickest means was to antagonize him into stating that He is God. Why did Jesus give Caiaphas the answer that he wanted. It is because He knew that the crucifixion was the only means by which our sins would be dealt with.

The statement that hereafter Caiaphas and those assembled there would see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven was a positive declaration of both His Messiahship and his Deity as the Eternal Son. To Caiaphas and all Jehovah's Witnesses it was blasphemy. Jesus meant it as a warning, because when He comes on the clouds of heaven, it will be in judgment of this world. For us who believe, it is Good News. Share it today!
