I was reading in a coffee shop when a man came up to me and said, “I noticed you reading the bible there. Mind if I sit down?”

Judging by his suit and tie I figured he was either:
A: Mormon
B: Old School Baptist Evangelist (one of my hopes is that I’ll be approached by one of these)
C: Jehovah’s Witness

As he sat down and started questioning grace, the full atonement of Christ for our sins for all time, and the deity of Christ, I breathed out a little sigh and tried to respond in love to the guy. No one ever has come up and shared the gospel with me; it’s always people who simply wish to challenge the basic truths of scripture.

In two years of being a Christian, it’s amazing how many times I’ve been approached by Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses; not only them, but even people who claim to be Christians--and they, along with all religions of the world, have many differences. But from what I’ve seen they all share these two things in common.

1: Justification by some manner of works, not by grace.
2: Jesus wasn’t aaaaactually God…

Romans 5:18
"Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men."

John 10:29-33
"My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one." 31Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, 32but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" 33"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
