Jehovah’s Witnesses teaches that
Jesus came in the Flesh
Jesus is the Christ
They are sinners
Physical matter exists
therefore based on the definiton of antichrist as laid out in First John, Jehovah Witnesses are NOT antichrist.
How would you set this “logic” straight for a JW?
1 John 1:8-10
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 2:22
22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:1-3
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7
Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

and I would love to know the secret that breaks the brick wall you’re usually talking to (LOL) Seriously tho, I always spend time with them when they call (if I honestly can) and you can talk/explain till you run out of fresh air and it gets you nowhere. So I sooner not argue but be friendly. I go with the reasoning that it isn’t my privilege or perogative to judge, especially not lecturing others or arguing with them but hopefully to teach by living example and being charitible and tender etc, however am always loyal and unmovable in my Catholic faith. JW’s who go door knocking always know their bible through and through and they will always quote you things pertaining to ways you might be going wrong in your faith (a different bible version to the one other Christians, including Catholics know mind) That is why I want to learn more about apologetics. I want to know my bible just as well as many JW’s know their’s. All the best in your search. Godbless and peace to all
