James Knox's Conversion Testimony Excludes Jesus Christ?
James Knox presented his conversion experience in From Where I Stand, Chap 4, "Conversion," pp. 51-53. As his spiel goes, Knox was once in a hospital and in pain when suddenly he heard an "inaudible voice" that was "harsh, angry, and terrifying." The voice said, "Make your choice." Knox concluded that this voice was God calling him to conversion.
Knox's "conversion" is false because in the pages where it's recounted, Jesus Christ is never mentioned. As all Christians know, true conversion only comes by saving faith in Jesus Christ, the only name under Heaven by which man can be saved. Moreover, Jesus spoke in parables so that "seeing they couldn't perceive" and "hearing they couldn't understand." Jesus Christ isn't angry, harsh, or at all desperate for converts as Knox would have you believe, and Jesus Christ would never speak in a "terrifying" voice to convert anyone.
"And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them." (Mark4: 11,12)
As a Jehovah's Witness posing as a Christian minister, recounting his "conversion experience" is to be expected. If James Knox ever does rewrite this "experience," perhaps he'll think not to exclude Jesus Christ.
