1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Just talk about Jesus.
Who He is, what He did, and why He did it.
Most of them haven't even digested John 3:16 yet.
Yes! John 3:16 is a great verse to use because it's the gospel in a nutshell. Jesus himself speaking. Another great one to use is John 5:24, again Jesus speaking:

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life"

The idiom of crossing from death to life paints a very vivid picture. God Bless :)

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

….Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:31-32, 51‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I’ve been called an “old goat “ but never owned one
Knowing you, you probably had it coming. If you really want to be insulted you will have to come out of the holler.
I was teaching my kids through the book of Joshua and we get to the end where God tells Joshua he is old and stricken in years. So now my kids never call me old without adding stricken in years.

It may seem funny at first... but these goats have inherited a disorder called Myotonia congenita,
a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the inability of muscles to quickly relax after a voluntary
contraction which causes their muscles to seize up when they attempt to flee from something that
frightens or startles them. The disorder essentially causes temporary paralysis.
.:(. Needless to say
it's cruel to deliberately frighten myotonic goats, even though they are very strong animals they can
still get hurt if they fall awkwardly or on something hard/sharp.

"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved" Romans 10:9-10

Good to know. Hopefully no goats were harmed in the making of the video.

Arians do not beleive Jesus is God. The text has parallels that show that he is in fact God.

Zechariah 14:9
Easy-to-Read Version
9 And the Lord will be the King of the whole world. At that time all people will worship him as the only Lord with only one name.

1 Timothy 6:14-15
King James Version
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Revelation 15:1-5
King James Version
15 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

Revelation 17:14

These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”

Revelation 19:16
King James Version
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

At one time the NWT on John 17 had a cross reference to John 3:16 which freaked them out.
