Answer 5

as a Shia Muslim, I believe that Jesus is not dead and wasn't even crusified in the first place! I belive that the people who wanted to crusify Jesus crusified someone else who looked alot like Jesus instead of the real Jesus. And when God saw that Jesus wasn't dead, he made Jesus invisible and took him (for his own safety) ... Which means that Jesus is still alive today but he doesn't live on planet earth (or maybe he does but we can't see him- it's all very unknown) and he is centuries years old which is a great miracle! Now here's something else I wanna say to sum up what i said...

Shia Muslims have these people called Imams: they are great people like Jesus who tried to spread their religion (Islam) around. And they are descendants of Muhammad (the prophet of Islam). We have twelve Imams and the twelth Imam has something in common with Jesus...

His name is Mahdi. Imam Mahdi was hidden by God as well. Which means that like Jesus, he is alive as well! and amongst all the Imams that are not alive nowadays, he is our only hope. Because when he comes, he's gonna come with Jesus! which means that they would both make the world a better place!

And the reason I think that they say ''Jesus is coming'' might be because they sre getting clues that tell them ''it's almost time''

If you want more info, contact me. And I can tell you more stuff like what are the signs that might be telling us that they will come.

Sorry I've written too much, but read it coz it's interesting.

and remember, belive in the truth and what you think is the truth!

What does the BIBLE say about their DOCTRINES?

The true Bible-believer realizes that the primary purpose for the Lord giving us the Scriptures is DOCTRINE (2 Tim. 3:16), and we are supposed to KNOW sound doctrine from false doctrine.

Many have departed from the faith and have given themselves over to "doctrines of devils" (1 Tim. 4:1), and it is our Christian duty to check these people and arm ourselves against their false teachings.

The main false doctrines taught by the "JW's" (Henceforth used to abbreviate "Jehovah's Witnesses") are as follows:

(1) that God is not a Trinity,

(2) that Jesus Christ did not physically rise from the dead,

(3) that there will be no literal and physical Second Coming of Christ, and

(4) that there will be no place of eternal torment for the wicked.

These are the major heresies taught by the JW's, and we shall examine each of these in light of God's pure and preserved words. Let us begin with a look at the Trinity.



Is God A Trinity?

According the Bible, God is a Triune Being. As all humans are a trinity (soul, body, and spirit--1 Ths. 5:23), God is also a Trinity. In Genesis 1:26, God said, "Let us make man in our image. . ."

In Genesis 11:7, God said, ". . . .let us go down, and there confound their language. . ." The terms "us" and "our" obviously refer to the Holy Trinity. So the Trinity is found in the very early chapters of the Bible.

In the New Testament, we can see all three Members of the Trinity at the Baptism of Jesus in Matthew chapter three. God the Father is speaking from Heaven. God the Son is being baptized, and God the Holy Ghost is descending like a dove.

When Jesus gave the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, He said in verse 19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

1 John 5:7 tells us that there are THREE that bear record in Heaven: ". . . the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (The "Word" is Christ according to John 1:1-3, 14, and 1 John 1:1-3.)

God is a Trinity. He isn't three Gods, like the JW's accuse us of believing, but He is ONE Triune God. The pagans who worshipped three gods did so because they knew from observing the creation that God must be in some way associated with the number "THREE."

They never fully understood the Holy Trinity, but you must admit that they came much closer than the JW's.

As a man is a soul, a body, and a spirit, God the Father is the Soul of the Trinity, God the Son is the Body, and God the Holy Ghost is the Spirit.

According to Psalm 19:1 and Romans 1:20, God's creation actually declares the Trinity doctrine. One can see PROOF of the Trinity everywhere in the universe. The universe consists of three parts: Time, Space, and Matter.

Time consists of three parts: Past, Present, and Future. Space consists of three parts: Length, Width, and Height. Matter consists of three parts: Energy, Motion, and Phenomena. There are three heavens in 2 Cor. 12:2, and on earth there are three forms of life: Man, Plant, and Animal. These forms of life are found in three places: Land, Sea, and Air.

God is continually showing us through His creation that He is a Trinity.

A perfect example of this is the sun.

The sun has three kinds of rays: chemical rays, light rays, and heat rays. Chemical rays cannot be seen or felt, but they can be very powerful. When one receives a sunburn, it is from the sun's chemical rays. This is a type of God the Father. Light rays are sometimes visible to the human eye. This is a type of Jesus Christ, the "light of the world" (John 8:12) and the "Sun of righteousness" (Mal.4:2). Heat rays are a type of the Holy Ghost for they bring comfort to us by warming our bodies, just as the Holy Ghost, the Comforter (John 16:7), brings comfort to us.

So one can clearly see that God's word and God's creation both testify to the fact that He is a Trinity. However, some people aren't getting the message. The book, "Let God Be True", (Watchtower Bible & Tract Soc., 1952) says the following on page 92:

"The trinity doctrine was not conceived by Jesus or the early Christians."

Then on page 93, this book says:

"...the plain truth is that this is another of Satan's attempts to keep the God-fearing person from learning the truth of Jehovah and His Son Jesus Christ."

On page 102 of the 1946 edition of "Let God Be True," the JW's make a very blasphemous statement concerning the Holy Trinity: "...Sincere persons who want to know the true God and serve Him find it a bit difficult to love and worship a complicated, freakish looking, three-headed God."

Such a remark is entirely uncalled for and is a blank misrepresentation of what Christians really believe about the Trinity. The JW's cannot UNDERSTAND the Trinity, so they CONDEMN the Trinity. They fail to realize that it is not our job to tell God WHAT HE IS or to even FULLY UN

Answer 7

I am not a Catholic, but many of the JWs teachings would not be compatible with what you have been taught by your church.

That's not to say you're not free to look into whatever organisation you like, and free to decide for yourself, but just to let you know that right at the start. I didn't know anything about their beliefs before I let them in, and it took longer than I would have liked to break free once I found they didn't have the same beliefs as I did.  

Here are some of the things they believe:

There is one God in ONE person

There is no Trinity

The Holy Spirit is a force, not alive  

Jehovah's first creation was his only begotten Son

Jesus was Michael the archangel who became a man

Jesus was only a perfect man, not God in the flesh

Jesus did not rise from the dead in a physical body

Jesus was raised not a human creature, but a spirit

Jesus did not die on the cross, but on a stake

Jesus began his invisible rule over the earth in 1914

Only their church members will be saved

The soul ceases to exist after death

There is no h**l of fire where the wicked are punished

Only 144,000 Jehovah's Witness go to heaven - the rest are on earth

Only the 144,000 may take communion

Blood transfusions are a sin

The Cross is a pagan symbol and should not be used

They also don't vote, or celebrate Christmas or birthdays

Answer 8

'Watchtower' is the official website of Jehovah's witnesses, if you are serious about learning their beliefs, this is a good place to start.

I'm a Christian and a very tolerant one, so I open my door to anyone who wants to tell me about their faith, that's the best way learn.

I now live near Luton and am learning from Muslims about their faith.

Most problems in this world are caused by lack of understanding and intolerance to other faiths.

When I lived in Thailand a couple of years ago I also visited Buddhist Temples.

Answer 9

(1) Bible: Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all their beliefs.

(2) God: They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind. Anyone who publicly witnesses about Jehovah is usually identified as belonging to the one group—“Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

(3) Jesus Christ: They believe, not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God, the first of God’s creations; that he had a prehuman existence and that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin, Mary; that his perfect human life laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith; that Christ is actively ruling as King, with God-given authority over all the earth since 1914.

(4) God’s Kingdom: They believe that God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind; that it is a real government; that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things, including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail.

(5) Heavenly life: They believe that 144,000 spirit-anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, ruling as kings with him. They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is “good.”

(6) The earth: They believe that God’s original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled; that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and that these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection; that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.

(7) Death: They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing; that they are experiencing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm; that they do not exist except in God’s memory, so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead.

(8) Last days: They believe that we are living now, since 1914, in the last days of this wicked system of things; that some who saw the events of 1914 will also see the complete destruction of the present wicked world; that lovers of righteousness will survive into a cleansed earth.

(9) Separate from the world: They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world, as Jesus said would be true of his followers. They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation. They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world’s avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.

(10) Apply Bible counsel: They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God’s Word in everyday life now—at home, in school, in business, in their congregation. Regardless of a person’s past way of life, he may become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God’s Word and applies its godly counsel. But if anyone thereafter makes a practice of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, drug abuse, drunkenness, lying, or stealing, he will be disfellowshipped from the organization.

(The above list briefly states some outstanding beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses but by no means all the points on which their beliefs are different from those of other groups.
