The diffrence between Johove witnes & Orthodox chrstian?

Question

orthodox tewahedo answer for Jehova witnes teaching

Answer 1

True Christians are primarily interested in WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES (see Scriptures below).

It is sad that 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 three 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

Answer 2

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I would like to clarify some information contained in the first answer to your question. We DO NOT deny Christ. The entire Bible is based on salvation through Christ and, in fact, it says there is no other name under heaven that anyone can be saved by (see Acts 4:12). So Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Christ and are fully aware that without him there would be no hope for salvation. Christ Jesus is NOT, however, God Almighty. Jehovah God is the Creator of all things and Jesus is God's only begotten son. Jesus himself acknowledged in numerous scriptures that he was God's son and not God Almighty, which is why Jehovah's Witnesses don't adhere to the man-made doctrine of the trinity. The Bible says God wants us to worship with spirit and TRUTH. To find the truth, it is necessary to get past all of the lies that Satan has managed to weave into the various religions of the world. Jesus gave a parable regarding wheat and weeds. Note that he said weeds would be sown in among wheat and that until the harvest time it would be hard to tell which was which. The harvest time is now and if you are sincere in wanting to know which religion is true, God will help you find it. But it takes effort and research to find out where teachings originated - whether they are scriptural teachings or man-made doctrines - and most people aren't interested in spending their time trying to find out. They'd rather take the well traveled road instead of the narrow, cramped one (as is also mentioned in the Bible).

Answer 3

The Orthodox Church is the Eastern Church and JW is an offshoot of fundamentalist Christian teaching. Completely different.

Answer 4

Huge differences. The biggest one is that JW all believe that Christ is NOT God, and that Christ did not save all of mankind, but that only a limited 144,000 will be saved. They deny Christ, they deny the Trinity, and they deny the Gospel according to God's Word.

Orthodox Christians like tweahedo believe that the Trinity is true and that Christ is God.
