4. correction--I already know who Jesus is (christian) but who is He to Jehovah's Witnesses? (sorry is this was misleading)

2006-12-05 11:38:43 · update #1

so (if I'm understanding this correctly) they do believe that Jesus is the Christ? because what I thought is that they believed Jesus is the Son of God but not the way into Heaven.

1. The rest live on a paradise earth, which was Gods the plan from the beginning (Psalm 37:29, Matthew 5:5, Isaiah 55:11)

2. They go preaching because it's not only 144'000 people being saved, there's also going to be a 'great crowd' as well (Revelation 7:9, 2 Peter 3:9).

3. During the 1000 years after armageddon, Satan will be let loose again, and will decieve alot of the people into following him (as he did with Adam and Eve). Like the Devil, they will die forever, and it's refered to as the second death (Revelation 20:7-10).

4. Jesus is the Christ (Matthew 16:16-17). Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in the trinity, they believe that Jesus was God's only begotton son, and not God in a different form (Acts 7:55).

Believe me if you have a free Bible study with the Jehovah's witnesses, then it'll be the best decision that you ever made.

First, be careful. Your question is related to Jehovah's Witnesses and most answering don't know any of their teachings. I will try to write more. I will leave scriptures for you to look up in your own Bible to show what Jehovah's Witnesses believe.

1.After Solomon observed that the living know that they will die, he wrote: “As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” He then enlarged on that basic truth by saying that the dead can neither love nor hate and that “there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in [the grave].” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10) Similarly, Psalm 146:4 says that when a man dies, “his thoughts do perish.” We are mortal and do not survive the death of our body. The life we enjoy is like the flame of a candle. When the flame is put out, it does not go anywhere. It is simply gone.Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60)

2.Why do we preach the good news? For the same reason Jesus did. He said: “I love the Father.” (John 14:31; Psalm 40:8) Above all, we are motivated by our love for God. (Matthew 22:37, 38) The Bible makes a connection between love for God and the ministry, for it states: “This is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments.” (1 John 5:3; John 14:21)As Christians, we feel an obligation to preach the good news and to make disciples. We recognize our responsibility to declare the good news, since it is God’s will that “all sorts of men should be saved.” (1 Timothy 2:4)This “good news” is primarily the message that salvation or everlasting life is possible on the basis of genuine faith in the atoning benefits of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, and that God’s kingdom by Christ will bring all things on earth into perfect unity with the holy heavens. (Acts 4:12; Rom. 1:16; Eph. 1:7-14)

3. I'll look up some scriptures.

4. We believe that Jesus is God's Son-The Messiah and died as an atonement for our sins.Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation,” “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14)Jehovah God saw fit to make his firstborn Son the central, or key, figure in the outworking of all His purposes (Joh 1:14-18; Col 1:18-20; 2:8, 9), the focal point on which the light of all prophecies would concentrate and from which their light would radiate (1Pe 1:10-12; Re 19:10; Joh 1:3-9), the solution to all the problems that Satan’s rebellion had raised (Heb 2:5-9, 14, 15; 1Jo 3:8), and the foundation upon which God would build all future arrangements for the eternal good of His universal family in heaven and earth. (Eph 1:8-10; 2:20; 1Pe 2:4-8) Because of the vital role he thus plays in God’s purpose, Jesus could say, rightly and without exaggeration: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”—Joh 14:6.

I hope this helps you out. If you want to know more, talk with a local Jehovah's Witness.

What is your understanding of the word Christ?

Christ means Messiah, which means Anointed.

When we say Jesus Christ, we are saying that Jesus is the Anointed of Jehovah.

Moses in Hebrews chapter 11 is also called christ, because he was anointed by Jehovah, but he is not the Christ.

1. Everyone who currently dies go to the grave, awaiting a resurrection to heaven or to paradise on earth.

2. Preaching is a command, and a way to show love for God and for our neighbor.

Jehovah does not desire any to be destroyed but to attain life.

Eternal life is not restricted only to heaven.
Ps 37:10,11, 29

3. After the 1000 yr reign of Christ, those who survive the final test are given everlasting life in paradise.

4. Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the Firstborn of all creation, Jehovah's master worker, who was used by Jehovah to create all things (John 1:3, through him)

1) “The meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”—Psalm 37:11

2) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. - Matthew 24:14

3) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while. -Revelations 20:1-3

4) Jesus is the Christ.

Now when he had come into the parts of Caes·a·re′a Phi·lip′pi, Jesus went asking his disciples: “Who are men saying the Son of man is?” 14 They said: “Some say John the Baptist, others E·li′jah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them: “YOU, though, who do YOU say I am?” 16 In answer Simon Peter said: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 In response Jesus said to him: “Happy you are, Simon son of Jo′nah, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but my Father who is in the heavens did. -Matthew 16:13-17

1) Two groups have been mentioned regarding hope of life.
A) Luke 12:32 “Have no fear, LITTLE FLOCK, because YOUR Father has approved of giving YOU the kingdom.

Revelations 5:9-109 And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

Revelations 14:3And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth.

b) Revelations 7:9 After these things I saw, and, look! a GREAT CROWD, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands.

Psalm 37:11 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

The little flock numbering to 144000 will be corulers of Christ in heaven. The great crowd will be the ones living on paradise earth ruled by Jesus and the 144000.

2) Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

3) Satan will be released. “I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.” (Revelation 20:1-3) then he will be thrown to the lake of fire.

4) JEsus Christ. The name and title of the Son of God from the time of his anointing while on earth.

The name Jesus (Gr., I·e·sous′) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” The name itself was not unusual, many men being so named in that period. For this reason persons often added further identification, saying, “Jesus the Nazarene.” (Mr 10:47; Ac 2:22) Christ is from the Greek Khri·stos′, the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shi′ach (Messiah), and means “Anointed One.” Whereas the expression “anointed one” was properly applied to others before Jesus, such as Moses, Aaron, and David (Heb 11:24-26; Le 4:3; 8:12; 2Sa 22:51), the position, office, or service to which these were anointed only prefigured the superior position, office, and service of Jesus Christ. Jesus is therefore preeminently and uniquely “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Mt 16:16

Jesus is the begotten Son of God because he is the only one created by God without help....Jesus helped God in all other creations.

Its now not the software however the contents that you just ought to watch out of.and have to be conscious of. I understand a few will try to discredit JW’s due to the fact they consider we have got to many regulations that’s now not factor we make however they don't seem to be interested within the factor simply the argument. The content material of TV techniques, movies or books that include some thing to do with the occult we hinder as Satan will use those as avenues to assault you, and also you don’t want JW’s to verify that one. There are many examples wherein individuals have meddled with demons, Ouija forums, séances and different an identical matters and feature regretted it due to the fact of the disorders they've introduced. So if a Dr Who episode is handling Satan, demons or some thing else that especially went in opposition to Gods phrase then don’t watch that episode, or learn that e-book. I learn plenty of delusion Fiction you simply have to watch out and hinder the ones matters that may be a foul have an effect on. If you permit a foul have an effect on into your lifestyles they're going to have an impact on it. As to the cardboard video games not anything improper with them so long as your now not playing, card methods are simply that methods not anything else. The magic the bible talks approximately wherein the ones practised by means of pagan monks who used the have an effect on of Satan to idiot the individuals and manipulate them with worry. I commend you for wondering as most effective by means of wondering are we able to gain knowledge of, mostly we don’t like what we right here, however on the other hand it may be to our advantage to concentrate.

1. The others either stay on earth to make it a paradise or they are dead forever.

2. They preach so you will be part of the "Great Crowd."

3. Then you get to keep living that way merrily ever after...once Jesus has judged you all again and made sure no one started to do bad again.

4. Jesus is God's son who was sent to earth to provide a ransom for us because only a perfect person could do it.... And he's the one who will judge us later on.

Those are their beliefs, as I understood still when I was twelve and deciding not to be like them anymore. Things could have changed since then; I know some of their things they find acceptable have changed.... So maybe those things have too.

I'm not a Jehovah's witness,but I talked with them concerning their
beliefs and they don't seem to be the ogres their made out to be.
I believe the answer to your question is that after the 1000 years,
people continue as perfect beings able to expand for all time throughout the universe which is endless. I'm Buddhist and that doesn't seem that far off to my beliefs(forgive me if I said anything wrong of Jehovah's witness beliefs

1. Did you read the rest when it said there was a mixed multitude of all nations and tounges. The 144000 is the house of Israel
2. Jehovahs witnesses ares confused of the truth. The bible says that the omly name that man is saved by is Jesus Christ and no other. No man other than moses new God as Jehovah. This was Jesus' name bfore he came in the flesh.
3. The devil will rome for a little while and the people will follow him like the sands of the sea.
Jesus is the Christ if you belive anything else, you might not make it into his kingdom which will be set up right here on earth in Jerusalem
