JWs disagree

[MrZetterlund]

I was taling with a JW today and told him about how I’m gonna attend a JW church and how I’m gonna debate with the Church leaders and ect, and he says they don’t believe Jesus is the ark angel Michael. And he hates Catholics because they always call them a cult.

I can not believe a JW church will let you debate any thing with them,. And he hates any CHurch that is telling the truth

That’s an interesting position for them to take, it is my understanding it is their official belief that He was merely Michael.
I hope you have had experience of debating their missionaries in the past and that you know the areas witness beliefs and Christian beliefs differ.
This may be a redundant suggestion, but I would recommend you use the KJV as your scripture source as most JW’s say that their (faulty) translation, “The New World Translation” is a corrected version of the king James text.

Here’s the thing, from what I’ve heard from JWs on this forum, they seem to believe He was Michael only until His birth, then He was Jesus — a man — and then I’m not exactly sure . . . they don’t believe that He was raised in the flesh . . . but I’m not sure if they think He is currently Michael the Archangel, maybe a JW could clarify for us?

There is a JW couple who come to our home from time to time. I admire their sincerity and their study of the scriptures (albeit, their own translation which has issues).

However, fundamentally, they acknowledge the worship of Jesus and if he is merely an angel (and not God) as is their belief, then it would be contra to scripture and blasphemy to worship Him. I haven’t gotten a cogent response to that from them in any of our discussions.

Show them love and live by example in the sacraments and by your faith - that ultimately is the best witness of the Catholic faith.
