Jehovah Witnesses are not Christian...

What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe?

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe:

God’s name is Jehovah.
Only Jehovah existed from “everlasting to everlasting.
Jesus is not one with God.
The Holy Spirit it not part of a triune God, He is simply the “force” of God.
God was once alone in the universe.
Satan originated the doctrine of the trinity.

Regarding Jesus, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that He was the first natural son whom Jehovah brought forth and that He is Michael, the archangel, in human form. Jesus is believed to have been anointed at His baptism and then is said to have proved His devotion to God by submitting to a horrifying death on a torture stake. Jehovah”s Witnesses do not believe that He was raised from the dead.

Nor do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in Hell. Unfortunately for them, this lack of belief does not erase Hell”s existence. They believe that after death, unless they are found to be worthy of eternal life, they will simply remain in the grave, inactive, unconscious and entirely dead.

In order to accept the theologies of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, you have to overlook and completely discount a myriad of Scripture passages. For some study on Hell, read Matthew 5:22-30, 10:28, 18:9; Luke 12:5, 16:23; 2 Peter 2:5 and Revelation 20:10. Hell is very real. It is as real as Heaven! You cannot believe in part of God’s Word and then reject the other parts because they make you feel uncomfortable.

Also, Jesus Christ is clearly God’s Son and is fully God, who came to earth as a man to redeem mankind from the penalty of sin. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one an only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” There is no question about the deity of Christ!

Lastly, no person will remain in the grave after death. Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” We will all die; we will all be judged. Each individual must determine for himself whom he will serve, thus determining his eternal destiny.

It is hard to see it sometimes, but hell is a measure of the respect God has for the eternal souls of humans and what they choose to invest themselves in. God would simply extinguish the refusing souls, in a scenario reminiscent of this, if He had utter contempt for them. He grants them a place where they can live out their contempt for Him.

They do believe that Jesus was resurrected and died for our sins. They don’t believe in the trinity, but believe that God does most things through Jesus.

There is no rapture as you may think of it. That is just satans way of decieving you. READ the BIBLE.
