Christians, Muslims , And Jehovah Witnesses?

Question

Ok so im a Christian, and i want to know if anyone can explain to me what is the basis of the Muslim And Jehovah Witness religion, what is the diffrence from them and the christian religion. and why do muslims dislike christians and white ppl.

Answer 1

It is insulting and bigotted to suggest that Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian. As an aside, it is also bigotted to assume that no Muslims are white!

Sadly, Trinitarians repeatedly pretend that Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian. Trinitarians use an artificial, trinity-specific definition of the term "Christian" which excludes anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God Himself, rather than the Son of God. Interestingly, pagans in the first century pretended that Christ's followers were Atheists(!) because the Christians had a somewhat different idea from the pagans about the nature of God.

Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe! Both secular dictionaries and disinterested theologians acknowledge that Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian religion.

The Trinitarian arguments are intended to insult and demean Jehovah's Witnesses, rather than to give a Scripturally accurate understanding of the term "Christian".

In fact, the bible most closely associates being "Christian" with preaching about Christ and Christ's teachings. Review all the times the bible uses the term "Christian" and note that the context connects the term with:
"declaring the good news"
'teaching quite a crowd'
'open eyes, turn from dark to light'
"uttering sayings of truth"
"persuade"
"keep on glorifying"

(Acts 11:20-26) [The early disciples of Jesus] began talking to the Greek-speaking people, declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus... and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

(Acts 26:17-28) [Jesus said to Paul] I am sending you, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God... Paul said: “I am not going mad, Your Excellency Festus, but I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. ...Do you, King Agrippa, believe the Prophets? I know you believe.” But Agrippa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”

(1 Peter 4:14-16) If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy... But if he suffers as a Christian, let him not feel shame, but let him keep on glorifying God in this name


So why do anti-Witnesses try to hijack the term "Christian" and hide its Scriptural implications? Because anti-Witnesses recognize that it is the preaching work that makes it clear that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are by far the most prominent followers of Christ:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded

Christianity and Islam are very related. The Muslims believe in Jesus except they believe he was only a prophet. Christianity and Islam are like brother and sister.

Now the JoeHoes are a wacky story. They are a splinter group of a splinter group from the Baptists, I believe (big a** splinter). They were formed in the late 1800's; however, the wackies will tell you their religion is 2000+ years old. Well, they're full of crap. The history of JW is well known and documented.

Believe it or not, there is a close relation between the JoeHoes and David Karesh(sp?); ala Waco.

The 7th Day Adventists are similar to the JoeHoes except not as crazy.

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses seem like Christians on the surface, but there are some serious differences. First, they don't believe in Hell,which means they are saying they don't agree with the Bible. Historically, they also don't believe that the earth will be destroyed and a new one will take it's place, again, disagreeing with the Bible. They also don't believe that Jesus is God, but rather a god. They don't believe in the Trinity. Since only God is holy, that means they believe that someone less than God came to redeem us from our sin, which also goes against the Bible. The origins of their faith come from the late Charles Taze Russell. Russell claimed the ability to read greek when he really had never taken a course in his life, and mistranslated countless passages to make them agree with his beliefs. Having taken courses in greek myself, I can say for certain that they have some pretty gross mistranslations.

As for Muslims, they don't believe Jesus is God either. They believe that he was one of four great prophets. They also believe that anyone who is not muslim needs to die. Most don't practice this latter part, but it's definitely in their writings. They believe that in order to reach heaven, they must do enough good things to outweigh their bad. However, good things are what is owed to God, it isn't like brownie points. There aren't any bonus points with God, there is only doing what he says, and not doing what he says. Muslims also have a very slighting view of women, and believe that they aren't as worthy as men.

Answer 4

Muslims and Islam has no connection to Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses would consider themselves Christians. Like many denominations of Christians the Jehovah's Witnesses have their differences like everyone else.

Answer 5

Has your minister, priest or religious leader mentioned this wonderful hope to you? Of course they have not, most clergymen say nothing about it. In fact, many do not even believe the Bible. This is an important reason why Jehovah’s witnesses call at the homes of people of other religions.

The efforts of Jehovah’s witnesses to approach people in public and at their homes are rooted in the Word of God. Jesus himself went directly to the people, and he instructed his apostles and disciples to do likewise.

The Witnesses’ beliefs, based entirely on God’s Word, the Bible, prevent them from falling into the trap of becoming a sect or a cult. They take a kindly interest in all other people, of whatever religious persuasion. No, they do not try to force these people to change their viewpoint. They endeavor to imitate their Leader, Christ Jesus, by presenting Scriptural evidence of the trouble-free Paradise that will soon be established on earth.—Matthew 28:19, 20; 1 Peter 2:21.

Recently a clergyman in Brooklyn, New York, obtained a copy of the book The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life. He was so impressed with the chapter dealing with prayer that he used the book to teach members of his church this chapter in a special meeting. Later he was asked by one of them, “Are you teaching us out of those Jehovah’s witnesses’ books?”

He replied: “It is the truth, isn’t it? When you want Sunday-school literature, you buy it from several sources, don’t you? Well, Jehovah’s witnesses teach the truth. Furthermore, when you see Jehovah’s witnesses with the Watchtower magazine, you ought to take it, because they print the truth.”

Answer 6

Jehovahs witnesses believe much the same as christians but with some differences. Such like Jesus didn't die on a cross he died on a stake. Also that Jesus wasn't born on December 25th ( i think they said its sometime in October). There are other such differences but i believe the main one is that there is no heaven or hell as such but at some point in the future there will be armageddon and the world will be destroyed. But god will make a new world as a paradise and those who choose to follow him will be allowed into this paradise.

Answer 7

Muslim and Jehovah witness agree on the term that no one has the right to be worshiped except God alone (Not Jesus or anyone else).

and trinitians says God is equal to three. and father, holyspirit and jesus can be worshiped as well. so you can worship the three trinity as like they are one.

and muslims do not dislike christians or white people. but there are two kind of muslims, two kind of christians and two kind of jewish. the 1st kind are those living in my neighbour hood, the church at the end of my street, my co-workers, my friends, and God command muslims in the Quran to be peaceful to them and kind. but the 2nd kind are those who find all the excueses to fight muslim for their religion, and kick them out of home, and give them hard time. and those are the dislike one.

Answer 9

First, i am a Muslim, but i will answer....

-Is there is a God or not?
Yes, There is a God who has created us all and this universe.

Clue:- Everything has a maker. Rodomization does not make anything. as rondomization can not make a car or a house,someone has to made it.

-One God or many gods?
One God

Clue:- If there were many gods, Conflicts between created things was to be. But, in our world, We have only two things, Mass (atoms, electrons,... ) and Energy, which completes each other and can be converted to each other (like in plants, or nuclear reactions in the sun) in a complete harmony

- Why does God creates us?
to pray to him

Clue:- if u have believed in the previous 2 concepts, then it is easy to realize that. but remember, u are created, so u have a limited thoughts, and u will not ever imagine how God looks, or to urge in reasons of your presence,.... Can a man-made computer be like a human?

-Christiancy and Islam?

Christiancy was like Islam... It says:" Do not pray else to Allah, your only and powerful god" but when Roman impire has taken the Chrsitiancy as its religion, it tried to alter it to be somehow like their original religion( Statues, Fighting gods,Hercules,..)... SO, they made drawings and statues for Jesus and Mary. they said that Jesus is the son of God as the can have not imagied that God has created Jesus just like he has created ADAM the father of humanity.Also, Jews tried to kill Jesus in order to not harm their powers at that time.So, it was thought that he was killed.However, In Islam, we say that he was left from the earth, and was not killed.

-Why Islam?
To correct these alterations.Also, God has said to preserve that religion and Quran from being altered. Nowadays, many clues can be shown of that, Quran has not been changed since Mohammed was sent with it

-PEOPLE ARE ALL THE SAME....NO DIFFERENCE BEtween them else in their beliefs..A muslim is Who says there is only "ALLAH" the only god, and do what he told us to do.

Answer 10

in fact there is no difference, god sent all this prophets for us to lead us, by the time people changed the rules , all prophets teach one thing.
and muslimes dont hate christians they just dont believe to what christians say.
