Do Jehovah's Witnesses and Jews believe in the same G-d?

Question

I am a Jew.

Answer 1

Ironically, Jehovah's Witnesses are UNIQUE among self-described "Christians" in that they actually *DO* believe in the same monotheistic, non-trinitarian Almighty Father as Jews did and typically still do.

Jehovah's Witnesses are great students of the Hebrew Scriptures (they even refuse to call it an "Old Testament"). Jehovah's Witnesses appreciate the richness and robustness of the Law and the prophets, and recognize the literal thousands of ways they point toward Christianity. They recognize that a substantial number of the "kings and priests" who rule forever alongside Jesus must be ethnic Jews.

Jehovah's Witnesses are also unique in applying many of the principles of God's dealings with the nation of Israel to the modern Christian congregation.

Regarding their rejection of the so-called "trinity", Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.

(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation

(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.

(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God

(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God

(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth

(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak

(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am

(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him

(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father

(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God

(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.

(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah

(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

Answer 2

You have your answer above, but I would like add one further item. Unlike the followers of Christendom, JWs are taught a thorough history about the Jews, from their inception to the time of Christ. They understand what took place at the time of Abram, and what lead to the split that formed into the Jews and Arabs. They learned about the Temple, its structure, design, and purpose. In Christendom, only the elite or scholars learn this, but JWs learn the Bible as a whole, with no part being unimportant. When you ask a non-JW when do they observe the Memorial, they say something in May, but JW will always say Niacin 14, by the old Jewish calendar, and will know exactly how to identify the day on today's calendar.

Answer 3

No. Jews spell theirs with a capital G just like the world, the Witnesses uses the Anglo Saxonized name of Jehovah.

Answer 4

Congratulations, you've reached the point of: reliable Troll. I already despatched you an e mail explaining that the punishments defined interior the Torah are the utmost plausible punishment for crimes, not the traditional punishments for such against the law. those who broke the regulation were not often, if ever given the utmost plausible punishment. as an social gathering, the widely used quote "an eye fixed for an eye fixed, a tooth for a tooth" Leviticus 24:19-21 means that the repercussions for against the law can by no skill exceed the initial crime. So the regulation somewhat does the option of what you imagine, it does not call for terrible punishments for crimes, it somewhat limits the punishments that courts can provide. because you already knew this techniques and keen to proceed posting questions only to annoy human beings, you're formally a troll. (Watch, in a pair days he will only ask some thing like this back.) "@Avrah THE ISRAELITES were AFRAID to leave JUDAISM it truly is why,in elementary words a number of THEM LEFT IT AND DIED, yet those 'FEW',were STONED TO demise because THEY were courageous adequate to face hostile to the religion OF TERROR AND LAND ROBBING JUDAISM!!!" Oh, now you're bringing on the caps lock, you ought to be getting truly severe. regrettably, you do not comprehend what you're talking about. the historic Israelites were not very honest human beings. lots of them practiced paganism, even some kings did besides. So so a lot more advantageous than "a number of THEM LEFT" and they actually were not stoned. getting to comprehend is relaxing!

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses believe in God(whose name is Jehovah-Psalms 83:18) and His son-Jesus Christ. JW's do not believe in the Trinity. Jews do not believe that Jesus is God's Son. They're still waiting for the Messiah.

Answer 6

Christianity came from the Jewish religion (which is where we got the Hebrew scriptures). The God of Isreal was Jehovah (or Yahweh, which "Jehovah" is the english translation of). The difference is that Jews do not accept Jesus (God's son) as the Messiah.

Answer 7

No, Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in the G-d , they believe in God, Yahweh Jehovah

Answer 8

Jehovah's Witnesses believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We believe he is one God and his personal name is Jehovah. God even wrote this name with his own "finger," when he had given Moses the Ten Commandments.
Here is a link that discusses the name of Jehovah I think you will find it interesting.

Answer 9

NO!
Jews believe in the one G-d, who is undivided, who has no PHYSICAL children.
Christians (J. Witnesses among them), believe in a trinity.

Answer 10

Their is only one God, Jesus Christ is the visible image of God, The Holy Spirit is God's active force. They are all one in the same. Any who do not acknowledge or accept this belives in a false God, or the spirit of error. And that is the antichrist. So yes I think the JW's and Jew's believe in the same false idol that they call God.
