Summary
Nikolaos Sotiropoulos continues his refutation of the Jehovah's Witnesses by defending the divinity of the Holy Spirit from Acts 5:3-4, where lying to the Spirit is lying to God, and interpreting 2 Corinthians 3 to affirm the Holy Trinity. Against materialist views of the human person, he argues from Matthew 10:28 that the body may die while the soul remains immortal, drawing on Jairus's daughter, the Good Thief, Stephen, and Paul to show that the soul lives after bodily death, and citing Revelation on the souls of the martyrs beneath the heavenly altar. He then criticizes the Witnesses' rejection of the Church's mysteries, fasting, feasts, the Theotokos and her ever-virginity, the saints, relics, the Cross, icons, and miracles, defending Orthodox practice through baptism, the Eucharist, Elisha's relics, and Moses' outstretched hands. He closes by presenting their teaching on Armageddon and the millennium as a distortion of Scripture.
