Origin and meaning of CATHOLIC PROTESTANT MORMON SEVENDAY AVENTIST JEHOVAH'S WITNESS ?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that their worship is a restoration of biblical Christianity, as practiced by the apostles and first century Christians. They recognize Christ himself (and the apostles to a much lesser extent) as the "foundation" of true Christian worship. Of course, the bible teaches that God Himself is the "builder".

(Isaiah 28:16) Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am laying as a foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, the precious corner of a sure foundation.

(Acts 4:10-11) Jesus Christ the Nazarene... This is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.’

(Revelation 21:14) The wall of the city also had twelve foundation stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

(Hebrews 11:10) the city having real foundations, the builder and maker of which city is God.


In modern times, Jehovah's Witnesses have always acknowledged that Charles Taze Russell had a central role in re-establishing true Christianity in the 1870's. Yet Witnesses have never pretended to be followers of Charles Russell any more than they pretended to be followers of Paul or Apollos or Cephas or of ANYONE but Christ Jesus. When seven million Jehovah's Witnesses preach from door to door each month, they work to preach the "good news about the Christ".

(1 Corinthians 1:12-17) What I mean is this, that each one of you says: “I belong to Paul,” “But I to Apollos,” “But I to Cephas,” ...Paul was not impaled for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ...Christ dispatched me, not to go baptizing, but to go declaring the good news

Answer 2

Catholic = the word catholic means "Universal". For a long time it was the only church

Protestant = certain people (the reformers) protested against some doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic church and set up their own "protestant" churches.

Mormon = This is a nickname given to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This church is neither catholic nor protestant, as it was not the result of any protest or reformation, but a restoration of the original church of Christ.

Seventh-day Adventist = This is a denomination which worships on the original Sabbath, Saturday - the Seventh Day.

Jehovah's Witnesses = a group of people opposed generally to organised religion who belong to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and act as witnesses for Jehovah (God) in preaching and using the publications of the society to being themselves and others to God.

Answer 3

all are christians but according to Jesus there are false chrsitinas and true christians.

false Christians will be destroyed by Jesus According to Matthew 7:21-23.

true Christians obey Jesus and what he said in John 4:23-24 is that we must worship his father and inLuke 1:32 and Psalms 83:18 says that Jesus is the son of the most high and the name of the most high is Jehovah.

Answer 4

The Church has referred to itself as the “Catholic Church” at least since 107 C.E. (about 10 years after the last book of the New Testament was written), when the Greek term "Katholikos" (meaning universal) appears in the Letter of St. Ignatius of Antioch to the Smyrnaeans:

"Wherever the bishop appear, there let the multitude be; even as wherever Christ Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church."

We do not know how long they had been using the term "Catholic" before it was included in this letter.

All of this was long before the Council of Nicea and the Nicene Creed from 325 C.E. which states, "We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church."
