Can you tell me the main points of your religion in your own words with Bible texts to back them up?

Answer 1

We keep the Commandments of God and the faith and witness of Jesus Christ (that includes keeping God's Sabbath -- Hebrews 4:9 -- and holy days, which are Sabbaths). We believe that God is a family (Ephesians 3:14-15) (not a Trinity), and that the saints will be raised to be sons of God in the same way Jesus is a son of God (1John 3:2). And we believe in doing the good works of God (Ephesians 2:10) and going on to perfection (Hebrews 6:1-2).

Answer 2

K...I will wittiness to you.
Jesus word tells that if you admit you have sinned{even if your a good person you are a sinner}

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift

I am thrilled to know that my sins are in the sea of forgetfulness as far as the EAST is from the WEST...Glory. That's awesome
.
God does not remember my sins....they are covered by the Blood of Jesus...Now how GREAT is that?
Nobody on earth can do that...forget. I LOVE that.

I also LOVE that He KEEPS HIS word.
He has proven it to me.... HIMSELF. I took the BIBLE to HIM one day and ask Him too.... He did NOT waste anytime...it was awesome. I read the Bible and He started talking to me through his word.
Read Isaiah 41:10
Jeremiah 29:11
Matthew 6:33
Even when people let you down...the Lord doesn't...it may look like it at times...but He doesn't forget you....He is working in the background.....sort of like....you can't see healing ...but all of a sudden...you are healed...it takes time.

There is another Scripture in Isiah that says...
SEE, I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU....FOR I HAVE GOT YOU CARVED IN THE PALM OF MY HANDS.


Faith is the substance of things HOPED for..
The evidence of things NOT SEEN.
Heb 11:1

Answer 3

The Creators name is YHVH (in Scriptures 6800 times, certainly I don't need to cite them all) The Messiah's name is YAHOSHUA. (Considerably more difficult to cite) Acts 26:14 it is in Hebrew. Ex 23:13 it is not a name of a heathen mighty one. Acts 7:45 and Heb 4:8 It is the same as the name for "Joshua" in Num. 13:16 Which is yod hey vav shin ein. (and there was no "J" until 1400 A.D. so obviously the name could not have a "J" in it!) They set aside a special day for rest and worship, which is the seventh day ("Saturday") Gen. 2:3

Answer 4

We believe (I believe) in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages. (God of God) light of light, true God of true God. Begotten not made, consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary and was made man; was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried; and the third day rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, and shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, of whose Kingdom there shall be no end. And (I believe) in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father (and the Son), who together with the Father and the Son is to be adored and glorified, who spoke by the Prophets. And one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We confess (I confess) one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for (I look for) the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.


You may use the entire old and new testament texts to verify.

Answer 5

Yes I can.

Christianity is largly based on principles of mercy and loving god and others above yourself. We acknowledge that no mortal can get to heaven by himself, but also ackknowlwdge that through sacrifice we can get to paradise after death. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice; but some Christians (including myself) and all Jews beleive that animal sacrifice and Jewish purification laws can also get you to hevean. Its basically the matter of dying with a pure soul.

Answer 6

The bible doesn't back up any particular religion It is totally open to interpretation

Answer 7

In most ways Jehovah’s Witnesses are like everyone else. They have normal problems, economic, physical, emotional. They make mistakes at times, for they are not perfect, inspired, or infallible. But they try to learn from their experiences and diligently study the Bible to make needed corrections. They have made a dedication to God to do his will, and they apply themselves to fulfill this dedication. In all their activities they seek guidance from God’s Word and his holy spirit.

It is of vital importance to them that their beliefs be based on the Bible and not on mere human speculations or religious creeds. They feel as did the apostle Paul when he expressed himself under inspiration: “Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar.” (Romans 3:4, New World Translation) When it comes to teachings offered as Biblical truth, the Witnesses strongly endorse the course followed by the Beroeans when they heard the apostle Paul preach: “They received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so.” (Acts 17:11) Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that all religious teachings should be subjected to this test of agreement with the inspired Scriptures, whether the teaching is offered by them or by someone else.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in the Bible as the Word of God. They consider its 66 books to be inspired and historically accurate. What is commonly called the New Testament they refer to as the Christian Greek Scriptures, and the Old Testament they call the Hebrew Scriptures. They rely on both of these, the Greek and the Hebrew Scriptures, and take them literally except where the expressions or settings obviously indicate that they are figurative or symbolic. They understand that many of the prophecies of the Bible have been fulfilled, others are in the course of fulfillment, and still others await fulfillment.

Jehovah’s Witnesses? The way they refer to themselves. It is a descriptive name, indicating that they bear witness concerning Jehovah, his Godship, and his purposes. “God,” “Lord,” and “Creator”, like “President,” “King,” and “General”, are titles and may be applied to several different personages. But “Jehovah” is a personal name and refers to the almighty God and Creator of the universe. This is shown at Psalm 83:18, according to the King James version of the Bible: “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.”

The Scriptural account that Jehovah’s Witnesses draw on for their name is in the 43rd chapter of Isaiah. There the world scene is viewed as a courtroom drama: The gods of the nations are invited to bring forth their witnesses to prove their claimed cases of righteousness or to hear the witnesses for Jehovah’s side and acknowledge the truth. Jehovah there declares to his people: “Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.” Isaiah 43:10, 11, American Standard Version.

Some 6,500,000 persons today who are telling the good news of Jehovah’s Kingdom by Christ Jesus in over 236 lands and 100,000 Congregations worldwide feel that they properly refer to themselves as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

With Bible Studies, we will use any Bible that the person may have, King James, America Standard, Catholic, etc, etc, you may have heard that we have our own Bible, and that it is the only one we will use, that is not true, the TRUTH can be found in any Bible, I personally have a King James Bible with me at all times in the Ministry because many people prefer that version of the Bible.

Answer 8

John 3:16 For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Answer 9

We don't go to heaven. Our future is on a transformed earth. Psalm 37:29
The sould dies Ezekial 18:4
Jesus and God (Yahweh) are 2 separate and distinct individuals.
1 Corinthians 15:27-28
"God subjected all things under his feet. But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 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, that God may be all things to everyone."
There is no fire in hell.
Job prayed to God: “Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell and hide me....." Job 14:13.
Since Job was already being tormented, would he pray to be “protected” in, of all places, a Devil-managed compartment of red-hot coals? Hardly! Job would not pray to go from the frying pan into the fire! Job understood hell to be the common grave of mankind where he would rest until the resurrection.

Answer 10

The Bible has nothing to do with my religion.
