Today, the day after Easter, two men knocked on my door. Jehovah's Witnesses.
They left me a flyer and said they would come back. "No thank you," I told them.
Then I went right to my bookshelf to read portions of The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin.
I remembered our differences:
- I can't embrace a faith based on a man's interpretation of God, claiming to be a prophet, but who was a sinner; I need a faith based on a non-sinner, based on God.
- I can't embrace a faith that claims Jesus was just a good man and not God.
- I can't embrace a faith that doesn't include the entire Trinity; without Christ I have no intercession; without the Holy Spirit I have no deposit of God in me.
- I can't embrace a faith that doesn't have grace; without grace, I don't live.
It's strategic that they came after Easter, the day after we celebrated God incarnate connecting heaven and earth.
We had them on Christmas morning one year! And they were our neighbors! It made me so angry... until I realized that they don't know. In their eyes, they are spreading what they believe in as we are. Regardless, it was SO insensitive!
