Establishing Their Own Righteousness in This System

February 17, 2026 / / 0 Comments

In Romans 10:1-3, Paul reveals something regarding his fellow Israelites which I believe applies equally to Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Brothers, the goodwill of my heart and my supplication to God for them are indeed for their salvation. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to accurate knowledge. For because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

Trying to be righteous sounds like a good thing, so you can draw this scripture to the Witnesses’ attention and ask them to explain it to you.

You won’t be attacking the Watchtower or Jehovah’s Witnesses.

You’ll be asking stone-in-the-shoe questions about what the Israelites were doing wrong.

Be praying that the Witnesses will see that they are making the same mistake. Continue reading

God’s Righteousness vs. the Power of Sin

If you owed a billion dollars and someone graciously paid the entire amount, you would be free of the debt.

That would be fantastic!

But now your bank balance would be zero and you would still be bankrupt.

But now where do we get the power to overcome the sin that indwells us so we can live righteously from here on out? Continue reading

Imagine for a moment that you owe someone a staggering amount of money—let’s say a billion dollars.

There is no way that you would ever be able to pay it off.

In order for you to be rescued from this predicament, a very wealthy and generous person would have to pay it for you.

The sin debt we owe to God is not monetary, but moral, but the principle is the same. Continue reading

Two Sin Problems God Had to Solve

Before we discuss the Watchtower salvation system with Jehovah’s Witnesses, we need to make sure we have a solid understanding of what the Bible actually teaches.

Start by looking at how bad our sin condition really is.

Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t seem to understand this. Continue reading

How Good is Good Enough?

When I first studied with Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1972, I was shocked when they told me that only a small percentage of Christians will ever go to heaven and that all others will live on a paradise earth.

Specifically, the Watchtower teaches that the battle of Armageddon is just around the corner, and only those whom Jehovah deems worthy will survive that battle. Those worthy survivors will join those deemed worthy of resurrection in living in a near-paradise conditions during Christ’s millennial kingdom on earth.

This provides you with an opportunity to discuss with the Witnesses their feelings about their status during Armageddon and the coming millennial kingdom. Continue reading
