Do Jehovah Witnesses believe other Christians are going to hell?

Question

why? What's their major belief difference?

Answer 1

It is a problem so strange only a handful of physicists know about it. Well, that is until one day, the ‘problem’ becomes real. It will be some bizarre event. For on that day, everything in the Universe will fall apart.


Just picture it. You’re standing in the subway during rush hour. Then, suddenly, you hear a funny sound. It is the guy standing next to you. He looks ill. And then, the incredible happens. Right before your eyes, the poor fellow crumbles, much like a piece of porcelain breaking up. He literally cracks up into thousand pieces. And then -- he’s gone. Just that: gone. You find yourself standing at a foul-reeking muddle of liquid on the floor.

You are, of course, stunned. But wait, see that lady over there? Oh no, she’s crumbling, too! And look, that old man over there -- he’s also vanishing. One by one, people on the subway just... go liquid. Suddenly, you’re all alone. Where commuters used to be, only little pools of liquid remain.

You gasp for breath. But then, suddenly, you feel a little... weird. It is a kind of pain that isn’t really pain; a kind of sickness that isn’t really sickness. "What...", you utter. But then you utter nothing more. Your body makes a wettish ‘splash’ as it hits the floor.

What has happened to you, is a weird and little-known phenomenon, a true freak of physics. You’ve been hit by the changing of the ‘fundamental constants’. And the bad news is this: more and more scientists believe the disaster is real -- and inevitable. Yes, you read that right: inevitable. Like it or not, the Universe seems to be heading towards the Big Crumbling.

And people going liquid on the subway is only one thing. If you looked up, you would perhaps witness the Sun exploding. Oh, and all stars would explode, too. Planets might swell, like balloons. Trees, animals and plants will crumble and liquefy, just like you. All kinds of rocks will come apart and vaporize. It is in fact hard to predict what exactly will happen in what order, when the fundamental constants reach their critical values.







There, we’ve said it: ‘critical values’, ‘fundamental constants’. Understanding what went wrong isn’t a piece of cake.
First, you should know the Universe and everything in it is based on certain fixed numbers. The speed of light is one of them: no matter where you look, the speed of light is ALWAYS the same. It is a constant. A given. The speed of light is just the way it is -- no more, no less.

And there are many more constants underpinning nature. All in all, there are about 25 of these physical ‘holy numbers’. There’s the mass of the proton. The strength of the electromagnetic force. The strength of gravity. The strong nuclear force. The ‘Planck constant’. ‘Avogadro’s number’. And so on, and so on.

There’s a very peculiar thing about the constants. They make us possible. All of the constants have exactly the right values to make the Universe possible. Had one of them been only a smidgen bigger or smaller, molecules wouldn’t be stable, stars wouldn’t be there, and you wouldn’t be here reading this. So we should consider ourselves very lucky the constants are exactly the way they are.

But the thing is -- we’re running out of luck. In 2001, physicists studying distant galaxies discovered something totally weird and unexpected. One of the constants, the so-called ‘fine structure constant’, seems to be changing! Very, very slowly, it is getting bigger.

This ignited a debate that rages until this day. Other scientists simply can’t believe it. Constants should be, well, constant. But in the meantime, there’s more and more evidence they’re not. There are clues the mass of the proton is on the move, too. And the speed of light and the Planck constant -- all gooey. Now take a long, deep breath and think about this for a while. Very slowly, the very foundations of the Universe are getting unstable!

Yup, you get the picture - that’s bad news. It means the Universe is heading for destruction. It will take many billions of years. But in the long run, the constants will change our Universe completely. Atoms will no longer be possible. Stars will no longer be stable. Matter itself will no longer be able to exist.

There you have it -- the day everything falls apart. It is estimated that if the fine-structure constant were only 1 to 3 percent bigger than it is today, carbon will become unstable and cease to exist. That’s where people will fall apart: everything that lives is made of carbon. No carbon, and all that will be left of you is... well, the wet stuff.

And that’s just one thing. If the force of gravity were to dim just a few percent, stars would go out. If it got a tad bigger, stars would overheat and explode. If the ‘strong nuclear force’ grows slightly, the Sun would burn up in less than a second. If it goes down, the stuff known as ‘deuterium’ (H3) falls apart, and the Sun goes out. Hey, we could go on like this forever!

So... should we brace ourselves? Well, not yet. No matter how certain the Big Crumble is, it will still take an estimated 3,000 billions of years before we’d begin to notice it. That’s 3,000,000,000,000 years from now! What you call: the distant future. By that time, at least you don’t go about in subways anymore. In fact, humanity probably won’t be there at all anymore. We will have evolved into something else, or find ourselves killed by meteors, the exploding Sun, robots or supervolcanoes.

Answer 2

They do not believe the fires of hell are forever, you go there, burn up and cease to exist. they believe they can predict the return of Jesus which they have had several failed attempts. They believe that Christianity protestants and catholics are the great harlot in Revelation and Babylon is the governments. Modern Christianity flirting with Governments give raise to this belief. Modern Christianity to them is false doctrine they have the truth all others are of Satan.

At least that is what they taught me in 1975 using their little blue book titled the Truth That Leads To Everlasting life.

They do not believe in all believers going to heaven, only 144,000 will be in heaven while the other faithful believers will be given a new body, and everlasting body and a few acres of land and live in harmony with nature.

Answer 3

John 14:6, Acts 4:12, sixteen:30-31 the only thank you to be saved is thru Jesus Christ, believing His sacrifice on the go, and accepting as your savior. in case you enable Him on your life and settle for Him with all your heart and then study the scriptures lower back as you have for 5 yrs, the Holy Spirit will instruction manual you and could help you realize God's be conscious and you gets as close as you ever concept to God. yet you will desire to deny your self and stay for Him. God Bless You and that i'm hoping the web content above and this msg helped

Answer 4

Only Jehovah has the power and authority to render real justice of people.

The Bible says: “God is love.” (1 John 4:8.)

Jer. 7:31: “They (apostate Judeans) have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.” (If it never came into God’s heart, surely he does not have and use such a thing on a larger scale.)

Illustration: What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing? “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do? Certainly not!

Still, many believe that the wicked will go to a fiery hell and be tormented forever. This teaching is not really logical. The human life span is limited to 70 or 80 years. Even if someone perpetrated extreme wickedness for his whole lifetime, would everlasting torment be a just punishment? No. It would be grossly unjust to torment a man forever for the limited number of sins that he can commit in a lifetime.

Who knows the truth about what happens after we die? Only God can reveal this information, and he has done so in his written Word, the Bible, referred to above. There is no mention here of a fiery hell. Humans return to dust—to nonexistence—when they die.

In order to be tormented, an individual has to be conscious. Are the dead conscious? No. “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) It is impossible for the dead, “conscious of nothing at all,” to experience the agonies of hellfire.

A Harmful Doctrine -

Some maintain that the teaching of hellfire is useful, true or not. Well, is the crime rate in regions where people believe in hellfire lower than in other places? Hardly! In fact, the doctrine of hellfire is very harmful. Will a person who believes that God torments people view torture as something abhorrent? Why should he? Those believing in a cruel god often become cruel like their god.

In whatever way a reasonable person may look at the matter, he cannot accept the existence of a hell of torment. Logic rebels against it. Human nature is repelled by it. More important, God’s Word does not say that such a place exists. When a person dies, “he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”—Psalm 146:4.

The Punishment for Sin.

Our holy God punishes sinners, but he does not torture them. And when sinners repent, he forgives them. What is the punishment for sin? The Bible gives a forthright answer: “The wages sin pays is death.” (Romans 6:23.) These truths are the basis of a marvelous hope.

We cease to exist when we die. But that does not mean that everything is finished. The faithful man Job knew that he would go to the grave Sheol when he died. But listen to his prayer to God: “O that in Sheol you would conceal me, that you would keep me secret until your anger turns back, that you would set a time limit for me and remember me! If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? . . . You will call, and I myself shall answer you.”—Job 14:13-15.

Job believed that if he was faithful until death, he would be remembered by God in the resurrection. This was the belief of all of God’s servants in ancient times. Jesus himself confirmed this hope when he said: “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”—John 5:28, 29.

The resurrection will begin very soon, According to the Bible. God will very shortly remove wickedness and establish a new world under heavenly rulership.—Matthew, chapter 24; Mark, chapter 13; Luke, chapter 21; Revelation 16:14.

The result will be a paradise covering the whole earth and inhabited by those who have sincerely tried to serve God. Wicked people will not burn in hellfire, but they will have no place in the coming Paradise. At Psalm 37:10, 11, we read: “The wicked one will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”

In the Bible we read: “I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’”—Revelation 21:3, 4; Isaiah 55:11.

Revelation 20:13, 14, "King James Version:: “The sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell* delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.” (So the dead will be delivered from hell. Notice also that hell is not the same as the lake of fire but will be cast into the lake of fire.)

Answer 5

Because they only worship God, not Jesus. They believe trinity breaks the commandment, though shall have no Gods before me. They think others put Jesus first, and do not think Jesus is God. They also do not believe in praying to saints or worshipping Idols, like having a cross around your neck.
144,000 people go to Heaven and govern the rest of the saved people on Earth.

Answer 6

JW think that there is only going to be 144,000 people in heaven The rest who knows. The peice of scripture that they are referring to is about the 144,000 saints during the tribulation who will lead many to god

Answer 7

no one is going to 'Hell' to burn. Those who don't do what God wants will be destroyed like paper in a fire. They will be no more.

Answer 8

They don't believe in hell, but they do believe that they are the only ones who are saved. Everyone else is in false religion and will be destroyed.

Answer 9

They think everyone is going to Hell pretty much.

Answer 10

Just the ones that don't go door to door.
