Jehovah Witness told me Jesus was a false god

Today's Readings;
Psalm 97,99,100, Jeremiah 17:19-27, Romans 7:13-25, John 16-27

A couple of days ago two Jehovah Witness's came to my door and as I always do I was very honest with them from the start. I know that they are trained evangelists and are taught the responses to all of the questions that will be asked of them regaurding their belief that Jesus wasn't God. I am a trained evangelist as well and understand apologetics.

I asked their names, where they were from, and how they came to into the Jehovah Witness faith. You see I believe, as do all the other major Christian Denominations, that were are preaching a false gospel. I had nothing against the two guys who were at my door and I told them so. I cared deeply for them, as does Jesus. But somewhere along the line someone had been decieved and believed a lie and it just got passed along down the family tree. And this simple lie was causing more life-threatening damage than any natural disaster ever could.

I asked them to explain a verse to me in their book, John 1:1. They read "In the beginning was the Word (their book, like the Christian Holy Scriptures has a capital "W") and the Word was a god"...and I stopped them right there. Why is that a small "g" what is a small "g" god? Do you believe in polythesim, are there multiple "gods"

"These small "g" gods are the false gods that Isreal worshiped in the desert. Like Baal" I was told. So here was a man on my front step telling me that his book reads:

"In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word (Jesus) was a (false)god (like Baal).

Today we read that Jesus walked on the water to his disciples in the boat. Did the false gods ever do this? God  demanded that his people shun the false gods they followed yet the Bible tells us to run to Jesus. How could this be if indeed Jesus was not God?  Do not laugh at those who had been lied to, do not smirk as if they had been "one-uped". Pray hard for these folks who have been lied to about Jesus. Pray hard for those who have a false image of Jesus. Jesus wants to reveal His true character. He wants us to spread light in the darkness.

I am not saying I have it all together, far from it. I relate to Paul in Roman's today. I try to do good but fail. I have just been blessed that God has allowed me to see the truth, and that has set me free.
