Jehovah’s Witnesses have very little understanding of the Name they have taken for themselves. The origin of the Name is in Exodus 3, where a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus as “the angel of the Lord” says His name is I Am. In Hebrew the Angel of the Lord said, “ehyeh asher ehyeh” which was translated as “I Am that I Am.” It means “I Am the Eternal” which tells us the Angel of the Lord was the pre-incarnate Jesus. The Hebrew behind I Am is the origin of Yahweh.

When we share the Bible with a Jehovah’s Witness, we should emphasize what is most important for them to know. We must let them know that the bodily resurrection is of “FIRST IMPORTANCE.”

My recommendation is that we should focus our witness to them on a topic that is essential to the Gospel. It also helps that this doctrine is very clear in the New Testament. There are no interpretive or textual problems. There are also a lot fewer verses to cover than other key doctrines like the Trinity [which, in Make Sure Ministries’ opinion, is not a subject that should be approached in early conversations, but rather just the deity of Christ].
