So I was preaching in the community college this week,
and I'm preaching the gospel,
I'm going through the plan of salvation,
and this Jehovah's Witness guy was kind of belligerent,
and he's interrupting me.
And he was just really wanted to talk about the name Jehovah.
And he said, "Why aren't you using God's name?
"Why won't you call him by his name?
"Lord's a title, God's a title."
So I was just kind of blowing him off
'cause I was trying to get through
what I was preaching, right?
But when I was all done,
I wanted to address what he was saying.
So I said to him, "Why don't you explain this to me, sir?
You keep saying how the name Jehovah's used
7,000 times in the Bible.
How come 100% of those times are in the Old Testament?"
If I can't, I said, "You're rebuking me
for getting up and talking for 10 or 15 minutes
and not using the name Jehovah."
Well, the New Testament authors,
they wrote 260 chapters and didn't even use it one time.
So I can't talk for 10 minutes without using it?
Without you being offended?
And he's like, "Well, it's in the New Testament."
I said, "No, it's not."
He's got a false Bible.
He's got this New World translation.
And he's like, "Get a show it to me, you know,
Jehovah in the New Testament."
Whereas this book adds the word Jehovah
237 times in the New Testament,
even though it's not in the Greek.
So this isn't a translation.
This isn't translating.
This is just somebody changing what the Bible says
to fit their religion, to fit their agenda.
But in the back of this book,
it has like a little cheat sheet
to help the Jehovah's Witnesses, you know,
show people the name of God.
So he's trying to scramble through this,
'cause I said, "It's not in any Greek New Testament."
He said, "Oh yes it is, I got pictures of it right here."
So he flips through this and he shows me a picture
and he says, "See, it's right there, it's in the Greek."
I said, "That's Hebrew."
Okay, let me show you, oh this one.
No, that's Paleo-Hebrew.
This one, that's Hebrew too.
Oh this one, that's English.
Oh this one, no, that's Hebrew.
'Cause there's just, they basically just put
all these black and white pictures in the back of this thing
showing the sacred name as if it's the only one.
They're just trying to just flood them with pictures,
but they can't answer the million dollar question,
where's a picture of the name Jehovah in the New Testament
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it isn't there.
And you lied when you put it in 237 times
in your false version.
So finally he says, I found it.
It's right here, he shows me a picture
and it says, Aloha, Jehovah.
I'm like, that's not Greek, 'cause Aloha's not Greek.
They literally, it says right here,
'cause he's like, it's right here,
Mark chapter 12, verse 29, in Hawaiian from 1816.
He's like, it's right here, here's the evidence.
But isn't that funny that the Jehovah's Witnesses
in the back of their Bible, in order to prove to you
that Jehovah is in the New Testament,
can they show you a Greek New Testament of Mark 12, 29?
No, they found it in the Hawaiian from the 1800s.
Aloha, Jehovah.
Well, you know, in this case, it's Aloha, Jehovah's Witnesses,
but that means goodbye also, right?
Like, see ya suckas, because, I mean, come on,
you're grasping at straws when you're pulling out
a Hawaiian version to show us the authority of scripture.
I mean, good night.
Is that funny or what?
It literally says Aloha right in front of it.
It's like, come on.
But finally, I proved the guy wrong and he just said,
I don't have an answer for you.
I have no answer.
I'm gonna have to talk to somebody.
I'm gonna have to ask somebody.
And I said, well, do you have a pastor?
He said, well, I have an elder.
I said, you go ask your elder to show you Jehovah in the New Testament, in the Greek
New Testament, and I said, you know, don't let him snow you with a bunch of fake Hawaiian
jazz that he's gonna show you just to try.
You know what I mean?
That's what people do when they want to distract you.
They just start showing you, oh, look at all this evidence.
Look at all these millions of witnesses, you know.
But when you look at each one, none of them hold up.
None of them hold water.
