How does one argue the Trinity with Jehovah’s Witnesses?

[DelsonJacobs]

My apologies for not getting back sooner, but the storm which passed through our area has changed things for me.

While I have faired a bit better than others, for many the devastation has been great. Many homes and business have been destroyed, some streets have had the entire pavement washed away to the point that the street surfaces cannot be located. Highways and bridges have collapsed, some turning into enormous craters. The emergency center in Pensacola, Florida, east of Mobile, Alabama, saw over 26 inches of rain in that one evening.

I will be relocating myself to the east coast and should be settled some time after June 1.

In the meantime I trust there are many on this forum who can supply further information and assistance with those who have questions. There are many who have a great amount of experience to assist.

Thanks for the prayers and messages.

Finally, on the issue of discussing the Trinity with the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the main thing to consider is to stay educated on what the Church teaches and demonstrate that the logic supporting your convictions is solid. Don’t expect to win them over to accepting the Trinity. Also they won’t hold you in high regard for rejecting their message either, so you’ll be labeled as one of the many who choose to be “blinded by Satan” in their eyes…and they don’t really care about those they so judge.

Nevertheless, stand firm in the faith.

Good luck with your move. I am sure I speak for all when I say we will be looking forward to your return on CA. God Bless

Delson,

Best of luck and look forward to your return to the forum.

Rather than argue from a specific set of proof texts I think it is better to build a cumulative case by examining the concept of the trinity itself and why any Unitarian might object to it. What is the unitarian concern? To preserve God’s oneness, in order to do this they think they need to deny the son as God and call the trinity pagan. The trinity is not pagan and one of the first things we should emphasize is a correct understanding of the doctrine. Three persons in one substance. If the Jerhovah’s witness or unitarian cannot take the concept seriously, will just block it from there mind and refuse to engage it reasonably, then there is no point talking to them.

Show them a Bible. The evidence is irrefutable even in their own flawed translation.
