As a former JW I am thankful for good Christian apologetics like you who can defend the faith and have helped set me free from the heretics brainwashing millions of people. You truly have the patience of the Saints dealing with JW and Muslims. 😂 God bless.
More like man made traditions that elevate men over their flock, just like the leaders of Jesus’s times where he chastised them for their lust for power and burdening the poor.
Lots of respect for this kid. He went, "Wow, that's a good question. I'll try to answer." That's much more honorable than doing mental gymnastics to flat out avoid the question like the Muslim kid the other day.
I'm sitting here with someone I care deeply for. She became vehemently enraged when I attempted to explain that JWs use another translation. She repeatedly told me I was calling her stupid and all kinds of other things and no matter how many times I tried to tell her they do not use the KJV, she said that they do use THAT version! I told her that Truth is truth and fiction is fiction and opinion is opinion but they aren't mutually interchangeable. It just made her get angrier and angrier. So, I failed miserably to get her to even start to listen to any kind of truth about the Christ's deity or any other lie the JW teach and now I feel horrible. Wish I knew what to do to help her. I guess she is more concerned with being right than being right with God.
@@rachellejones1361 Do you not know that the New World Translation is a new English writing based on the KJV. Fun fact, in the JW app, we can load the KJV right along with the NWT and compare the text while researching scriptures. There are also other versions that can be used too. When I was studying, prior to being baptized, I compared the RCC Bible I have, the KJV (3 versions) and interlinear bibles because I was told many lies about what JWs use. Maybe go to one meeting or even a remote session with this person you speak of and see for yourself. If there are corrections to any version we use, it’s because new research has shown deviations in the originals, based on archeological or actual scripts coming to light. How about you take your Bible and compare it to the NWT and see what you think instead of spreading misinformation. When we preach in public, WE actually ask the person to use their own Bible to compare what we are saying; most of the responses are that they are shocked ours is verbatim of theirs.
@@user-ym9wb2mk5eno Greek scholar of the New Testament agrees with the JWs translation. Someone who reads Greek will see all the additions to JW text that make Jesus appear to be "a" god. Who receives worship that the Old testament clearly says is only due God. JW make the Father a co-signer on idle worship (little god), blasphemy. Go to a Bible believing church that believe in the doctrine of the "Trinity" not a cult.
I was a JW. I thought myself a Theologian as this person does. I only knew their doctrine with "out of context" Bible verses and misquoted sources and commentaries. Thank you Jesus for making me free.
I praise Jesus Christ for delivering you. I will pray for the deliverance of my younger brother who has been a JW for the last 50 plus years. He has caused so much pain to my deceased parents and my other brothers and sisters over the years😢
JWs are a horribly destructive cult that uses there members as slaves and protects pedophiles through their “two witness policy”(if two witnesses didn’t see it, it didn’t happen aka pedophiles wet dream) on top of the fact it’s against the rules to bring law enforcement into any matter between church members. So your child tells you that elder John made his butt hurt. If you go to the police instead of elder john himself you will be excommunicated and lose all contact with all family and friends still in the cult and that will be most all of that persons loved ones
Please give your testimony to other JW followers and bring them to know Jesus as the Lord God. As someone who was on the inside, you know what is said and their thought processes keeping them slave to false teachings.
I agree, it's very odd that he's put himself in this position to get completely destroyed by a real Spirit-Filled Pit Bull of a man who obviously lives, eats, and breathes the Word of God. I sure am glad he's on our side!
@@ajetshehaj8336 It sure sounds as if you're just saying that because your homeboy got schooled and made all of you JWs look like a bunch of idiotic morons! Now you're trying to distance yourself from him. Do you actually believe that any "real" JW would of fared any better? I'd really like to see that! You should get in touch with him to set up a debate, (serious butt whuppin'), of your own! Put that puppy on pay per view!!!
@@jeremiahrowesr.3130 hahaha homeboy! Have you ever read the Bible? Your interpretation is funny. Well let's talk with verses and not stupids thoughts. First, they never believe and teach that Jesus was God in flesh. Your crazy interpretetation "...god admits that he is the first and the last.." God never said that, he is ETERNAL. Jesus said that i am the first and the last About revelation 2:8 Is talking about Jesus not about God. Go to revation 1:17, here says the he saw Jesus not God. (No one have seen God except Jesus) About Acts 20: 28 Yes , Jesus is the son of god. What don't you understand here? Next time do some study by yourself and don't judge quickly. This is the website of jehova witnesses What they say about trinity: www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/trinity/ Bring me verses if you think different.
Sam, thank you so much for recommending Ron Rhodes books on Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. As soon as you mentioned them, I bought them both. I'm reading them, and they are amazing pieces of literature and information. The most amazing part is the grace that Ron points out we should have. I'm very, very grateful for the Lord and also to you for having recomended this. Thank you so much, my brother.
All you are to do is keep your eyes on Israel and on Damascus, Look. His calling us up early is not dependent on getting JW’s to accept Jesus. Yes, we are to witness, but there is going to be tons of witnessing going on during the 7 years. Everything centers on Israel. We are watching everything fall into place right now.
My mother is a J W for 40 years And I also debated with her like you with this JW man and she is blind and can’t understand the bible brother in Christ at the end of my preaching to her she is mad at me and loses her eyes. We too go over and over doesn’t work I pray to our lord and saver Jesus Christ to help my mom one day to go to him in prayer and believe I hope my mom could be saved thanks for sharing may god bless you
So we do pray that the Holy Spirit will open your mother's eyes and reveal the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord. We can debate forever and accomplish nothing. It is up to Holy Spirit to plant the seed. Your debating is not in vein, God is giving your mother many changes to acknowledge Him, using you as His obedient servant. We can do nothing without Christ, who strenghens us in situations like these. I believe that your mother will eventually be saved in God's time. Continue to have patience and know that it is God's desire that we all be saved. May God continue to bless and keep you.
Same here brother, I have been speaking to my cousin who is a JW for 12 years. Don't lose heart, keep praying and keep sharing. Especially if they come to you
My family is JW and what I want to say is that. It's a hopeless case these people are brainwashed!!! You cannot reason with them, they won't listen, they wil not see they are cherry picking verses. They are to proud to admit ever they are wrong!
What is the relationship between watchtower(jehovah witness) and johannes greber?? 1.who is johannes greber? 2.he : - wrote a book "communication with the spirit world of god" - translated "the new testament" 3.what did watchtower say about him?? 4.google : Type: avoidjw.org>w1956 Will appear: The watchtower 1956 magazine Clik:february 15 Download 5.the following appears (we only present the vital quotes ) 6. Begin the quotes: Page 110(paragraph 10) 10 Says Johannes Greber in the introduction of his translation of The New Testament, copyrighted in 1937: “I myself was a Catholic priest, and until I was forty- eight years old had never as much as believed in the possibility of communicating with the world of God’s spirits. The day came , however, when I involuntarily took my first step toward such communication, and experienced things that shook me to the depths of my soul.. . . My experiences are related in a book that has appeared in both German and English and bears the title, Communication with the Spirit- World: Its Laws and Its Purpose.” (Page 15) .....in the Foreword of his afore- mentioned book ex-priest Greber says: “The most significant spiritualistic book is the Bible.” Under this impression Greber endeavors to make his New Testament translation read very spiritualistic. Page 111(paragraph 11) 11 Spiritualism claims that there are good spirits and bad spirits and that it does not want to have anything to do with the bad spirits but tries to communicate only with the good spirits....etc Page 111(paragraph 11,the final sentence) Very plainly the spirits in which ex-priest Greber believes helped him in his translation. Page 111(paragraph 12) “TRY THE SPIRITS” 12 However, when the apostle John says, “Try the spirits,” or, “Test the spirits,” he does not mean for us to dabble in spiritualism and get in touch with the spirits by means of spirit mediums, ouija boards or planchettes or other spiritistic para phernalia and try out which is a good spirit and which is a bad one.... Page 112(paragraph 16) 16 The evidence is clear that the spirits with whom this leading spiritualist communicates are against the Bible and its Author Jehovah God and his Son Jesus Christ. Why so? Because the Bible and Jehovah and Jesus Christ are against those spirits Page 114(paragraph 23) INSANITY THROUGH OBSESSION 23 The purpose of the demons through spiritualism is not merely to destroy your faith in God’s Word the Bible but, more than that, to gain possession of your mind and body, to control you completely, thus leading you to insanity. (end of quote) 7.the above are the confessions of watchtower 8.in short ,what watchtower says about johannes greber are: - a spiritist - greber endeavors to make his "new testament " translation read very spiritualistic - the translation done by the helps of the "spirits" -the spirits with whom johannes g communicates are against the bible,its author Jehovah God and Jesus Christ - the purpose of demons via spiritualism : *destroy your faith in the Bible *gain possession of your mind,body *control you completely *result: insanity 9.yet watch tower gains their support in their " new world translation " of john 1:1 from new testament (johannes greber) 10.new testament (johannes g, 1937) In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was God; and the Word was a god(john 1:1) 11. New world translation(watchtower,1950) In the beginning the Word was,the Word was with God,and the Word was a god 12.no wonder, watchtower likes johannes greber's translation 13.in addition to Johannes greber's, wachtower loves translation of emphatic diaglott (benjamin wilson,1864) 14.john 1:1, below " kai Theos " of the interlinear of emphatic diaglott, benjamin translate : and a god 15.however the same words " kai Theos" in 2 corinthians 1:3 below the " kai Theos" he translate: and God 16.who is benjamin w? - a liar? - christadelphian( does not believe Jesus is God) 17.that is the reason, he translates "a god" when refer to Jesus in John 1:1 18.for sure ,Jesus is not merely the name of God (mark 9:38-39,John 10:25,5:43,1john 5:20,rev 19:13), but also is the name of a man /human: - visible(0-33 ad) - mediator - prayed -died -resurrected 19.One God,one mediator (1timothy 2:5) 20.God (invisible) dwells in the Son(visible) (John 14:10)
@@hasanhs3563 If I see how my mother behaves and the blindness when reading the Bible I believe these people are possessed by demons. My mother was doing tarot cards when she became a JW 30 years ago. Dangerous people!!!
I wish I had your memory and zeal. I suffered unimaginable childhood trauma after my mom divorced because she was tired of being a witness. I was then raised as a catholic by her and her friends. Later on she gave us up back to my dad. He left us in Florida with my aunt and uncle devoted JW. They beat so bad the first month of being there ripped my posters and cops had to come to take us away. I was then placed in foster care. At 39 yrs old I tried finding a place in my fathers heart and Gods heart so I went back to being a witness. Worst thing I could have done. My kids were now feeling traumatized by the constant reminder of Armageddon. I’m disassociated now and don’t believe in religion but I’m still searching for God. Your videos help me shine light on questions I had and they could answer neither could the Catholics. TY
Who ever told you, you aren't worthy,even if was yourself, is a liar. You have a home in Jesus. The wispers tell you, pick me, the easy way, sometimes it's easier to go to chaos,you've lived it,you know it well,it's like an old comforting shoe. Sometimes the new shoes give you blisters,but you know the protection of the new shoe,will let you walk amongst the Asps,untouched. The right thing,in this world isn't popular or easy, but it does quell a troubled heart,and gives you guiltless sleep. You deserve peace,you deserve love. The Father loves you, you are worthy of his gift.
Jesus never said to follow a religion, he said “follow me”. Buy yourself a King James Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to help you find the Truth. When you start reading your own Bible, everything will become clear.
Hello. I'm a first time listener to your show and I am so encouraged! I believe this is the most effective way to bring Witnesses and Muslims to Jesus by showing them that Jesus Is God from their own scriptures, this may be the only way since they claim to follow what they believe their scriptures say. What an excellent job you are doing. I know they struggle when they see the contradiction between what they have been taught and what their scriptures actually say. I pray 🙏those seeds find good soil and keep finding water. You have gained a new listener. Looking forward to hearing more. Lord bless you. Phil 😎
Thank you Sam for having patience with the JW, we know it's hard but the people need these interactions and edifications.! Please continue to do more of these especially with the JWs they're so hard to have a debate with or do these talks with cause the society doesn't allow them to. Continue the good work Sam 💪🏽
I love the " BUYING TIME" tactics..... "My Wife is texting " "my PHONE is Dying" "My Headphones aren't Working" Even if some of these things are True....... he's buying time to think of Retorts and Excuses!!! SAM youre ON IT THO brother.... APOLOGETIC VERBAL JUJITSU masterfully done!!!
I just subscribed... I like how you kept the debate under control and you didn’t let him jump from one thing to the next. It’s hard to keep them on one topic.
shamounian I’ve been walked away from the religion 10 years and and accepted my Lord and my God as my Savior. Mind control runs rapid within the leadership of that cult. They are loving and sincere until you disagree with them... I witnessed horror stories. Now I know why so many active JW’s and ex JW’s have committed suicide.
I love these live debates. Its great to see how Sam corners the JWs into either admitting Jesus is Jehovah or the Bible is full of contradictions. Hopefully they study Sam's points and come to know the truth for the glory of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
....and THAT'S how it's done ladies and gentlemen...to God be all the glory...this just happened to show up on my RU-vid..and I'm so glad it did... subscribed!..thank You Jesus!❤
He's citing Irenaeus' view of God's Simplicity and he (JW) thinks that Ireneaus is talking about different people? My goodness.... This reminds me about that one time I asked a JW "elder in training" about "Justification" and he responded with "We don't try to Justify what we believe"..... Sam... I love you brother! #SammytheBull
Glory be to God! Thank you Sam for your hard work and dedication! Glory be to God. You are an inspiration for me to remain hungry and devour the Word daily.
I am disassociated Jehovah's witness and I have never seen anybody discuss the trinity with another witness with a witness like you did and actually have a witness stumped my mom and dad are devout drove his witnesses and I need more ammo to confront them why I quit going so I'm watching you intently give me good information don't let me down
This is exactly how you need to corner a JW. This coming from a exJW. Very rare to see someone cover all angles to the point they just have to admit something is wrong.
Remember Alex you don't want to corner them you want them to see outside their theology and doctrine, they are taught not to listen to you if you argue, they will walk away in most cases
@@joeventre538 As a former catholic, who is now a JW, there’s a reason we walk away. JWs are trying to be non confrontational and getting into fights, shot, or thrown into prison still happens, all for preaching the word.
@@user-ym9wb2mk5eas a former Catholic, now saved and born again as Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, the Bible tells us to “contend” for the faith and to test all spirits. JWs take it as confrontational as soon as someone questions their doctrine. We simply as you keep an open mind, ask yourself if there is a possibility JWs could be wrong? Is it possible?
@@kawehionalaniI witness weekly and have not seen any of my brothers or sisters get confrontational, but the exact opposite and it’s something preached about and in our weekly training. We do get a lot of people who get confrontational, beat up, have our stands and literature torn down, cussed at and in many countries we are thrown in prison. We also do not fight in wars, yet how many “Christian “ denominations war, even with each other. I’m sure there are some who get upset, we are only human, but look at our history and what’s happened to us; purple triangles is a movie about the persecutions during WW2. As a former Army soldier, I’d sure like other Christian’s to follow suit about wars.
I love Sam’s confidence, with a little bit of cockiness and arrogance, and a tad of sarcasm mixed in. He can only be like that, because he knows he stands on truth, I love it.
Many scriptures say differently. Be firm, be confident, and willing to defend your position, but surely acting like a teacher scolding a student is far below being an agape type of love…..
I haven't heard Sam suggest these folks read John 14:9, which is such a wonderfully direct statement by Jesus: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?"
Thank you Jesus for this revelation. I just started watching this only yesterday. I asked myself why have I missed this beautiful exposition. After listening to Sam, I asked the Holy Spirit to help me. Sam may God keep you. I having gained so much but still hungry for more. Listening to you, i covet this great gift you have.
Dang Sam really put that dude in his place right off the bat... "Yeah, I highly doubt that" 🤣 got me cracking up right off the bat. Not gonna lie, Sam can be really abrasive sometimes, I can see how that rubs many of the debaters wrong, but I find it funny 😂
Lol at jw trying to use the church fathers to confirm their view. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, it was painful to hear him squirm. Good job Sam!
I discovered your channel through David Wood funny enough, hahaha. Love your videos and I'm always so in awe by how you just shoot all those verses out off by heart, no matter what excuse the person tries to throw at you, you know exactly where the counter weapon is. Thank you for teaching me something new in every one of your videos. #Greetings from South Africa.
Was a former JW but left for a different reason. I came later to Christ because I still believe in God. Later watching on RU-vid preachers like Dorre love, David Lynn, and a few others all mention it’s not about religion it’s about having a relationship with God with Jesus. I’m still learning how to form and mostly because of laziness I’ll admit that. It’s a habit I have to break but back in July of 2020 I prayed to God to help me, I cried to him and asked for his forgiveness and accepted Jesus as my lord and savior and since that day I felt my self loathing decreasing, depression has decreased and anxiety I don’t experience as much aside from dealing with exams from school lol. I have to this stopped watching porn and still struggle. I still struggle with other sins mainly fornication. I currently live with my fiancé and it’s something that is a struggle.
It’s good to self reflect. Was a catholic, War in the Army, and I went the opposite way. My local priest could not answer my scripture questions that I had learned from the JWs. There is a reason why the RCC (Pope) forbids using YHWH and Jehovah in worship and song. Psalm 34:3, Isaiah 56:6, Isaiah 52:5, Psalm 44:20, Mark 13:13, Jer 23:27 If you were a JW, you know we are commanded to use his name. Jesus even exhaulted his name. That is the first step in knowing if man is trying to deceive you.
Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. - 2 Timothy 2:14
Wow, Sam God be praised for you, rescuing so many from Eternal Spiritual Death. Thank you Jesus for Sam this child of God doing this wonderful work for your Glory.
Wow, What a gift you have of for the Lord God. To be able to remember all these texts and sources. Amazing. May God use you until he comes to take us Home. I totally respect you, and for some reason I believe you have a form Mantel of Paul, so revealed knowledge. May the Lord bless you and grace you with those souls you try to correct their errors that take them to eternity without God.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince Of Peace”(Isaiah 9:6)
NICE, NICE, NICE SAM !!! SOLID MEAT AGAIN FOR MY NOTEBOOKS TO REFER TO IN DUE TIME WHEN I WILL BE FACING JW's Thank you for the articles also on "answeringislam.net". It is a gold mine of information. After three years it is still as fresh as yesterday when I first downloaded it. GBY.
Sam you bolled a perfect game yesterday strike after strike after strike all praise to the father son and holy spirit love you brother SAM for teaching us using your knowledge wisdom and understanding of GOD'S word
You are doing good Sam, GOD is pleased with your way of sharing the truth about GOD. GOD bless you and your work. Christians in the Philippines supports your work.
Sam you are such a blessing to me to all Christians. I pray God will continue to give you boldness and His truth to help the lost come to Him. I have learnt so much from you as a Christian and I too have a passion to spread God's words. Every Blessing my brother.
I was genuinely shocked when the JW said, "Jesus", when Sam asked, "Who did they see?" I wanted to hear his debate if he said Jehovah, because I can guarantee that is what my dad would say. I believe I know what Sam would have said, but maybe I don't-you know?
Sam has really helped me open my eyes to truths of the Bible that I flat out missed. I am so happy I came across him. It's allowed me to make RU-vid videos that shine a light on the truths he has revealed to me that sadly my Calvinist Baptist Pastor doesn't subscribe to.
@Jesus is Not god Wrong. Jesus said 'Go and be baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit' (this is the trinity). That's just one! I have a LOT more.
Sam, you are hilarious. Your ministry is saving lives and training up the troops. I am learning so much from yor videos. What I am learning is drawing me deeper into worship and is equipping me for Evangelism. God bless you and your loved ones. May may He keep you safe.
Greetings...I like how you have very good recall and memorize Scripture, that's many hours of dedication. Recently subbed. I like your humour Brother [showing the Guns @ 28:55] and your love towards "The Way The Truth and The Life" - Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Sometimes, scripture can be harsh to the ears. No one said following the ten commandment scripture is easy. I relate to your debates in this manner. At first, I was skeptical, feeling you were being judgemental. Telling people they were going to hell. But then I realized you were just stating scripture. Which has to be understood and said. I am a follower now. Thank you for delivering when so many are deceiving and turning people away from God. God bless you 🙏
So how do you feel about all the idols and traditions in the RCC church? The golden calf, the alters, kissing and venerating statues? Yep, it isn’t hard to follow the commandments unless you are told to stop doing that. There’s a reason God said not to worship things in the heavens.
