what is the difference between JWs and Protestants beliefs?

Question

small differences? main difference?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses are relatively unique among self-described Christians in that they understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom by Christ Jesus is a real government which will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite

That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire

While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Answer 2

JWs believes that Jesus Christ will rule the earth after Armageddon during 1000 years and transform this planet in a`paradise as God almighty Jehovah decided in Genesis 1:27-28, this planet will be the home of seeds of Adam and Eve sinless and without ilness.

Protestant belief don´t know what will happen After Armageddon with this planet if you don´t believe me, make the Question "Christians What will happen after Armageddon with this planet under the 1000 years kingdom of Jesus Christ?

and you will realize that only Jehovah´s witnesses know what will happen, and if protestant don´t understand the most important topic of the bible, what else they don´t know about the bible?

Answer 3

maximum non-Catholic Christians declare to base their doctrine on the Bible rather of church custom, yet maximum of them do hang to a pair traditions that have not have been given reliable Biblical foundation, such by way of fact the belief of God modern as 3 "persons." some Christians insist that the actual meaning of "baptize" potential "immersion," that's the actual meaning of the Greek be conscious which replaced into transliterated "baptize." some Christians experience that it fairly is incorrect to have statues in church homes and to bow down in front of them. All non-Catholics reject the belief of a Pope, and genuinely there replaced into no Pope in the early centuries of Christianity. there are various different issues with regards to the Catholic church that are rejected by using non-Catholics. The Catholics declare the Bible is their e book, yet that may not authentic. the unique Apostles wrote assorted the books of the NT, in the previous there replaced into any Roman Catholic Church. there replaced into no Roman Catholic Church in the 1st 3 centuries of Christianity. the unique church baptized in the call of Jesus; using "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" as a baptismal formulation replaced into more advantageous later. it is an significant difference. All baptism in the e book of Acts replaced into in the call of Jesus.

Answer 4

The following is taken from Handbook of Today's Religions & /or CARM Website - hope this will help you.

Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?
The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non-Christian. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings.
Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:
• Taking verses out of their immediate context.
• Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.
• Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.
• Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.
• Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.
• Changing the meanings of words.
• Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.
• Adding to the Word of God.

The Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves to be Christians because they believe they are serving the true and living God. Like many cults, they think they are the only true church on earth. Yet, they deny the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' physical resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith.

The Watchtower organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a non-Christian organization that uses its people to promulgate false doctrines, and collects "contributions" for distribution of a multitudinous amount of literature, and expand its grip into the lives of its members and their families.
It is a non-Christian cult.

Answer 5

Big differences include (but are certainly not limited to) the fact that they have to turn most if not all of their worldly possessions over to the church leadership and their insistance for over a hundred years that only 144,000 people total would be saved. (They altered this doctrine after there were more than 144,000 JWs. It hurt recruiting.)

Answer 6

Major differences. I have been asking questions about them. JWs believe Jesus is archangel Michael. Real Christians believe in Trinity.

Answer 7

I would say the biggest difference is who they believe Jesus was. Most Christians believe Jesus is God; Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus was the archangel Michael.

There many more differences, but I'd say that's the great divide.

Answer 8

Protestants don't come to your door at 6 am to wake you up to spout their nonsense. And if I am correct, they also don't wear clothes they wouldn't be caught dead in like JW's.

Answer 9

Man don't worry about that just worry about your religion and beliefs.

Answer 10
