Jehovahs wittnesses q?

Question

what are the most fundamental beliefs of your religion.

Answer 1

Jehovah Withesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all their beliefs.

We worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposees toward mankind.

We believe, not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God, the first of God's creations; that he had a prehuman existence and that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin, Mary; that hi perfect human life laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith; that Christ is actively ruling as King, with God-given authority over all the earth since 1914.

We believe that God's Kingdom is the only hope for mankind; that it is a real government; that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things, including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in whic righteousness will prevail.

We belive the 144,000 spirit-anointed christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, ruling as kings with him. They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is "good".

We believe that God's original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled; that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and that these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection; that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.

We believe that the dead are conscious of absolutley nothing; that they are experiencing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm; that they do not exist except in God's memory, so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead.

We believe that we are living now, since 1914, in the last days of this wicked system of things; that some who saw the events of 1914 wil also see the complete destruction of the present wicked world; that lovers of righteousness will survive into a cleansed earth.

We earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world, as Jesus said would be true of his followers. They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation. We provide the material needs for our families but shun the world's avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.

We believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God's Word ineveryday life now- at home, in school, in busness, n our congergations. Regardless of a persons past way of life, he may become one of Jehovah's Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God's Word and applies its godly counsel.

The above list briefly states some outstanding beliefes of Jehovah's Witnesses but by no means all the points on which their beliefs are different from those of other groups.

Answer 3

Their most fundamental is that they think that they are the one and only group that God will save through the tribulation. They might of started off "good", but are teaching lies now. Saying that you are going to be the only organized group that is going to be saved, is putting themselves on a pedistal, like they are better than the rest of us. I think they are delusional and self decieved. This goes for any other establishment that says they are the one and only true church. They are judging the rest of the world as sinners. Imposters. False prophets. They are all the same.
