Do Jehovah Witness' believe in Jesus as the savior?

Yes, although Jesus came from his father, Almighty Jehovah God.

(1 John 4:14) We ourselves have beheld and are bearing witness that the Father has sent forth his Son as Savior of the world

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!

Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. However, 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!

Yes sort of but it is some of the least plausible of their doctrines. First of all they do not believe the biblical teaching about Jesus being God and the 2nd person in the Trinity of the one God. As a result of the denial of Jesus it also denies the perfection and thus the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice for if Jesus is not God (God being perfection) then it can not be a perfect sacrifice as is prophesied to allow all men to be saved. Thus the Gospel to a Jehovah Witness is absent of this sacrifice in all the perfection necessary for salvation of mankind. Pray for them to receive sufficient grace from God to escape this Arian sect and come to believe in Christian teaching which has none of the trappings of Arianism which is a man made sect founded by the heretical bishop Arius and supported by the Pagan Emperor Constantine . God bless!

In Christ

we believe Jehovah is the only true God & Jesus Christ is his son,& we use scriptures to prove it like psalms 83:18,but is always nice when people can ask a Jehovah witness what they believe & not to use self speculation thank you

Yes,

Actually only Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus died for us.

Only Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus' death bought us salvation.

Only Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is Jehovah's anointed savior.

All other 'Christians' believe that 'God died for them' which is impossible, since God CAN NOT die. Therefore they have no salvation, no savior.

Contact your local PBS Affiliate and see if they will be showing the independent film "Knocking" in May. About 25% of the stations won't be showing it. You can also check it out at:

Anyone who answered NO is not one of Jehovah's Witnesses and cannot answer for us.

The answer to your question is a resounding YES!!!!!

YES
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, YES we believe in Jesus. He died for all mankind. Jesus is our leader and he is sitting at his Fathers right hand.
He is no part of a trinity!1

Jesus Christ said: “I am God’s Son.” (John 10:36) As Jehovah God’s perfect Representative, Jesus also said: “I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.” (John 5:30) When Jesus was on the torture stake, he prayed to the great Creator in the heavens, addressing him as “My God, my God.” (Matthew 27:46) After his resurrection, Jesus told Mary Magdalene: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.” (John 20:1, 17) Since Jesus Christ was not God incarnate, no one who saw Jesus could say that he had thus seen God.

God said ,"Let us make man" Key word, us
The Bible tells us that God said: “Let us make man.” (Genesis 1:26) Do you know whom God was talking to?— He was talking to his Son. He was talking to the one who later came to earth and became Jesus.
Isn’t that exciting? Just think! When we listen to Jesus, we are being taught by the one who was with God when God made the earth and all other things. Jesus learned much from working with his Father in heaven. No wonder Jesus is the Great Teacher!
