Zone1 Jehovah's Witnesses

It's why there are 40,000 different sects around the world of so-called Christians. It's the reason that if these are the last days, the true doctrine of Christ had to come about for there be some people who can be saved from ignorance. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's Church today with true doctrine and the fullness of the Gospel. No confusion any longer. Praise the Lord!
Most believe in the sanctifying work of Jesus Christ. Much of the rest is just window dressing. The true church is the body of spirit led believers wherever they are and whatever 'church' they attend. Heck, even some Catholics are likely true Christians. :omg:

Not so. If that were true, they would all do everything in the name of Jesus Christ. Yet, they don't even name their churches in his name. And, his name isn't "Christ." That's a title of Messiah. That limits the number of possible true churches that have Jesus authority to act in His name. Remember, he said that many would cry out Lord, Lord, have I not done work in your name? And, he responded that they did not have his authority and he didn't know them.
 
The order of creation and the singularity of the Creator.
To JWs, that would be Jehovah. They believe Jehovah is the Father and that Jesus is not the Son of God or in other words, a God as well. Yet, the bible is clear that Jesus said he is the Son of God and also a God as well. That would make JWs not Christians. At least LDS believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and part of the Godhead of the three, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. LDS baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. JWs do not.
 
Gather round folks .

De Crappy has made his first sensible remark this year .
He has issued only a personal opinion , rather than a reasoned submission , but it is a start .


Take a break for a few days and see if you can come up with another winner .

Have you gone TT ?
So if you knew why did you ask?

You wouldn’t know a sensible remark if it was tattooed to your forehead…
 
We need a section for Occult threads like this one .

Out of genuine interest I attended one of their Churches for about six months .

They worship in kingdom halls, not churches.
Lovely people , though the speaking in tongues and falling over and twitching sometimes drove me to emergency coughing fits .

They don't do either of those things. In fact, speaking in tongues is something they believe is wicked.

They have different beliefs about Jesus than Christians.

Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs about Jesus
  • Jesus was born on earth after God transferred him from heaven to Mary's womb.

  • Jesus was executed as a sacrifice for humanity's sins.

  • Jesus appeared to his disciples after his death and convinced them that he had been resurrected.
    • Jesus ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of Jehovah.

    • Jesus is the mediator of a "New Covenant" between God and the "144,000".

    • Jesus is not part of the Trinity.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that salvation comes from God through faith in Jesus' sacrifice and being part of "God's organization".

Jesus said that "many would come in his name and deceive many". The true church is "spirit led", not led by a single denomination.
 
The Bible has an interesting history, people rarely think how it came to be, how various disparate literature was collected and compiled into a single "Bible". For centuries different sacred texts were used by different churches and there was little agreement.

There are many texts not included in today's Bible but were once staple material in some churches in some geographic regions, there is a lot of literature about Jesus not included in our Bibles but who decides what is and is not inspired?


So there's never been unanimity over which books are relevant never mind which interpretation of those books is "correct".

Personally I avoid organized church groups, most of them have some kind of statement of beliefs and I've never seen a set of those that I completely accept nor do I think it is necessary.

Some things are unclear and we should not make up weird interpretations in an attempt to make them clear.

For example the Trinity is a very interesting subject, the Bible itself doesn't even use that word yet for many Christians it is heresy to deny the modern concept of the trinity yet there are numerous NT passages that are not reconcilable with the concept of the trinity.

The correct Bible is the one published especially for the English-speaking people, the KJV. :bowdown:

My ex wife was raised JH. After her parents realized they ruined both of their daughters childhoods, they left the church for the most part. Only went on Easter and didnt follow all of their strict guidelines.
Luckily their grandchildren are having normal childhoods.
