Top Highlights
“Jehovah’s Witnesses emphatically deny the biblical concept of hell and claim that Sheol and Hades mean only ‘the grave.’” (Page 103)
“Though The Book of Mormon was buried in a.d. 428, it contains about 25,000 words verbatim from the a.d. 1611 King James Version of the Bible!” (Page 90)
“Joseph Smith allowed only a few ‘witnesses’ to see the alleged golden plates, which were then taken into heaven by the angel Moroni.” (Page 90)
“The deity of Christ should be the central issue in any discussion with Jehovah’s Witnesses. We should be able to present a clear biblical case for Christ’s deity because their whole system crumbles when Christ is seen to be Jehovah (Yahweh) God.” (Page 105)
“The word Islam essentially means ‘surrender’ or ‘submission’ to the will of Allah. Muslim (or Moslem) is related to this word, and it means ‘one who submits.” (Page 66)
