He’s not Christian?
I talked with a few Jehovas Witnesses over the years. They believe Jesus was crucified on a stake [due to one obscure scripture]. Other than that, what makes them un-Christian?
Well, he’s not a JW, he’s Seventh Day Adventist.
While the SDA statement of faith is a bit more orthodox than the JWs, the problem with the SDAs is that they add keeping the OT law to faith in Christ, which basically is a rejection of Christ.
That’s why SDAs, for instance, worship on Saturday (the sabbath) and keep the dietary laws - they believe that keeping these helps you to be righteous. Biblical Christianity, on the other hand, says that righteousness comes ONLY through the grace of God through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. If you add anything to that, then you’re essentially rejecting Christ for your own works.
One could quite rightly say that the book of Galatians was written specifically to combat the false doctrine of groups like the SDAs, who add works and lawkeeping to faith, and thereby have “fallen from grace.”
Long way from a Carson supporter, but unless I have had a lifelong misunderstanding, Jehovas Witnesses are NOT even closely the same as Seventh Dayers.
If he needs knocking, the “violent teen” history is plenty for me. If he really was that way, that’s a trait I don’t want in a POTUS. If he made it up, that too is a trait I don’t want in a POTUS.
We would do well to see him in an Administration, he just will not be the nominee for POTUS.
Jehova’s Witnesses deny the deity of Christ.
