| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Pastor Adriel Sanchez, and I'm going to show you three passages that Jehovah's Witnesses can't deal with. |
| 0:06.8 | The third one, actually, I think, is evidence that they've corrupted the Holy Scriptures through their translation of the Bible, the New World Translation. |
| 0:19.2 | So I remember as a brand new believer having Jehovah's Witnesses knock on my door, inviting them in, you know, excited about having a conversation about the Bible. |
| 0:28.8 | If you're not familiar with this group, they've been around since the 19th century, an individual named Charles Taze Russell, who was breaking off of different Christian churches, |
| 0:39.3 | denominations for a while. He spent some time in atheism and agnosticism, came back to Christianity, |
| 0:46.5 | quote unquote, through an interest in Bible prophecy and started his own sect. And the Jehovah's |
| 0:51.7 | Witnesses are characterized by a number of doctrines that aren't in |
| 0:55.4 | line with historic Christianity. For one, they reject historic Christian doctrines like the |
| 1:00.2 | doctrine of the Trinity, the doctrine of the deity of Christ. They reject also the doctrine of |
| 1:04.5 | hell. Jehovah's witnesses don't believe in hell. And part of the way that they do this is through |
| 1:09.9 | their understanding of the Bible. |
| 1:11.6 | They claim that they believe the Bible, but they have their own translation of the scriptures. |
| 1:15.9 | And so over the years, as I've talked with Jehovah's Witnesses, this has been one of the challenges in conversation. |
| 1:21.7 | They'll say, oh, well, that translation that you're using, the ESV or the NIV or the New King James, that's not totally accurate, |
| 1:29.6 | not as accurate as our translation, the New World Translation. And so I want to show you three |
| 1:34.3 | passages that I go to in their translation of the Bible, the New World Translation, to show them |
| 1:39.4 | that Jesus is God and that they need him. So one of the first passages that I like to go to, |
| 1:44.9 | if I'm having a conversation with a Jehovah's Witness, is in the book of Psalms. It's Psalm 102, |
| 1:50.4 | and I'll open it up with them in their translation of the Bible. And here's how it reads in the |
| 1:55.2 | Jehovah's Witness Bible. So I'm 102, verse 1. Oh, Jehovah, hear my prayer. Let my cry for help reach you. So this is a prayer to God, |
| 2:06.9 | a prayer to Jehovah. The psalmist continues, do not hide your face from me in my time of distress. |
| 2:13.6 | Incline your ear to me. Do answer me quickly when I call. As the psalm continues, the psalmist is |
