The Resurrection: Where?

September 29, 2026 / / 0 Comments

The Watchtower teaches that the resurrection of the dead will be to two separate and distinct locations:

  1. Jesus and an “anointed” group of 144,000 Christian witnesses of Jehovah will be resurrected in spirit form and live in heaven. They will rule as kings and priests over the earth but will never come there physically. Most of them have died and are in heaven now in spirit form.
  1. Everyone else who is raised from the dead will be resurrected in bodily form and will live on the earth, which will then be a paradise. This group will never go to heaven.

But let’s look at what the Bible says about this. Continue reading

Refuting the “Locked Room” Argument

September 8, 2026 / / 2 Comments

Jehovah’s Witnesses are trained to present Watchtower talking points on an array of Bible topics.

If we are going to get through to them, we have to be able to provide answers.

Fortunately, the Watchtower discloses its arguments in its literature, which gives us opportunities to prepare.

When I first studied with the Witnesses back in the early 1970s, I was completely unprepared.

I wrote my book, Getting Through to Jehovah’s Witnesses, and I post in this blog to help you prepare.

One of the arguments with which the Witnesses stumped me in those early days was the “locked room” argument about the nature of Jesus’ resurrection.

Basically, they asked, “If Jesus rose from the dead in a physical body, how did he suddenly appear in the middle of a locked room?” Continue reading

Answering the “Take Back The Ransom” Argument

September 1, 2026 / / 0 Comments

What is the “Take Back the Ransom” argument?

The Watchtower argues against the bodily resurrection of Jesus by claiming that if Jesus’ body rose from the dead, he would have been taking back the payment for our sin debt.

Here is its reasoning: Continue reading
