Top Highlights
“Theologians have been careful to point out that the incarnation involved a gaining of human attributes and not a giving up of divine attributes.” (source)
“Many cult experts have noted that it is better to focus on one or two issues during each meeting and deal with them thoroughly rather than to ‘get it all out on the table’ in a single sitting.” (source)
“One helpful technique for dealing with the triggered responses of the Jehovah’s Witness is to request that he or she read a particular verse aloud, and then ask: ‘What is being said here?’17 If he spouts off the typical Watchtower interpretation, ask him to read it aloud again, slowly and carefully—and follow it with another question. If you are persistent, you will help the Jehovah’s Witness see for himself that there are contradictions and problems with his view.” (source)
“Satan acting through the serpent: ‘You positively will not die’ (Genesis 3:4 NWT). Later, of course, Adam and Eve did die. ‘Reasonably, then, who invented the idea that a spirit part of man survives the death of the body?’12 The answer, they say, is Satan.” (source)
“‘the thought is clearly that Christ is the Begotten of God in the sense that no other is.’” (source)
