Do JW's believe that Jesus is the son of God?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is one Almighty God whose name is Jehovah.
They believe that Jesus is the Son of God,the first born of all creation.
They believe that the Holy Spirit is God's active force - what He uses to get things done.
They do not believe in a Triune God.

Answer 2

Of coures we believe that Jesus is God's son. The Bible says that clearly. Many people think that we don't because we don't accept the trinity which by the way has pagan origins. According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”


The word trinity never appears in the Bible.

If the Father and the Son have a name (Jehovah, Jesus Christ), why doesn't the Holy spirit also?

"But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand, and he said: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand." - Acts 7:55, 56 => Where's the Holy Spirit?
The Holy spirit is God's active force, his power.
The texts from the Bible refer to the Holy Spirit as something, not as someone.

How could God be Jesus. Can you and your son be the same person? No, it's impossible.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." - Colossians 1:15. = > Jesus was created. He has a begining but God doesn't.

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36). If God and Jesus are the same shouldn't Jesus know the day?

Answer 3

Absolutely! That is what the bible says, that is what Jesus himself taught us...

Matthew 3:16 & 17: "After being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God’s spirit coming upon him. 17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”

John 10:36: "do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son? "

We do not believe that Jesus is part of a triune godhead, but he most definitely taught that he was God's Son, and we believe that completely. We believe what the bible teaches and not man-made doctrines.

Answer 4

Of course they do.
Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and is inferior to him.

Matt 3:17 talks about God speaking from heaven, upon Jesus' baptism, declaring Jesus as His (God's) son, His beloved.

John 14: 28 - Here Jesus was telling his disciples that he was going his way to the Father and the Father is greater than he was.

In 1 Corinthian 11:3 and 15:28, both verses talk about headship and subjection. The head of Christ is God which means that God is higher than Jesus and Jesus is answerable and subjects himself to God.

Answer 5

No.

He is the "Son of God".

Son of God is the only creature in heaven made directly from God. The "son(s) of God" are *Angels made from Jesus and his father , Jehovah.

John 3:6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Only those things born directly from God are called "sons" or "children" of God. This is why the angels are called "sons of God," and this is why Adam--born directly from God--is called a "son of God" in Luke 3:38. Christ as well, born not from man but by God, is called the Son of God.

Col 1:15 - the firstborn of every creature

--------

*Upper case "S" means highest form or ArchAngel
Lower case "s" means lower form of Angel or Human

There are no "Sons of God" in the bible because there is only one Jesus.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of {the} archangel - 1TH 4:16

Satan is an Angel a "son of God", lower then Jesus.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Answer 6

Yes. That's who Jesus said he was at John 10:36. What William above said is nonsense. To say that a true Son of God is as old as his Father borders insanity.

Answer 7

Yes we do. Many people, including a few who have already answered this question, claim that we don't believe in Jesus. That is a LIE. We believe that he is the son of God that came to earth and died for the sins of mankind, and right now he is ruling in heaven as the King of God's Kingdom.
On April 2, Jehovah's Witnesses will gather to commemorate the Memorial of Jesus' death.

Answer 8

Yes we do. But we don't just blindly teach that. It's what the Bible tells us. Even Christ himself told us that. Think of all the times he prayed, talked, or said he got holy spirit to perform a miracle. WHO could he have benn talking to? Not himself. And the very fact that he came down here and died disproves any claims that he IS or is part OF God. God cannot die. Look these up: John 17:3 (Jesuss refers to his father JEHOVAH GOD as the only true God). And Christ said "The Father is greater than I am.' The word "trinity" is not even IN the BIble! Matt. 26:39 (Jesus prays TO his father. HOW in the world could he pray to himself if he WAS God?) Jehovah is the ONLY person called "Almighty" in the Bible. Jesus is called a "mighty lord." but NOT almighty. The idea of Christ being God/Trinity is SO unfounded and makes NO sense whatsoever! Please feel free to study with us. We even encourage you to use your own Bible, to prove that we aren't making it all up. Please, if you won't listen to ME, why listen to all these people who lie about us? They are just Satan's way of swaying the world against the true God.

Answer 9

Yes. They do believe that Jesus is God's son.

Answer 10

To believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God you need to measure it like this:


JESUS CHRIST IS GOD'S SON BY DIRECT LINEAGE (MEANING HE WAS ETERNALLY WITH GOD AND GOD FROM THE BEGINNING) JOHN 1:1-3

1. Jesus Christ is the Son of God differently to Angels:
Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

(1.a) Worshipped by angels
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

1.b) Different to Angels
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?


NOW ANGELS AND MEN ARE CALLED THE sons of God, BUT NOT LIKE JESUS CHRIST AS ABOVE.
1. Job 1:6 shows angels had this title
2. John 1:12 shows Christians are the sons of God

But Jesus Christ is God from eternity:

Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

(meaning Jesus Christ is the first one visiable, the direct image of God)

JEHOVA'S WITNESSES do not acknowledge the true meaning of Jesus Christ being the Son of God.
Ezekiel 1:28, Zechariah 14.1-6 show that Jesus Christ is God's very image and presence.
