JW's are you polytheistic?

Question

Just curious if you guys believe in multiple gods. I know mormons are but not sure about you guys.

Skeff - I would call the trinity the truth. 1 God in 3 forms. However I am the one who is asking questions here. Not you. If you want to ask about the trinity go spend 5 points.

Answer 1

Yes, they are but they do not belive it because the Watchtower organization would not let them. If you believe that there is one ture God and that Jesus is " a god" separate from the one true God, you believe in many gods.

They really worship "the God of the Watchtower "

You are polytheist if you belive there is many gods and if you belive angels can be gods!

Answer 2

Polytheist or not, what they believe about Jesus as a created being, the first among His creation is not in line with the bible teaches. and though they claim that He is God they don't actually acknowledged Him as equal with God (Jehovah) the Father. But how can Jesus be the Son of God and God at the same time? Because Jesus made a distinction between Himself and the Father, some people conclude that Jesus is not really God but a created being. To answer this issue, we have to take a look at how the members of the Trinity relate. The Scripture identifies the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit as separate persons. Several verses describe the special roles that each person in the Trinity plays. The Father elects (1 Peter 1:2), loves the world (John 3:16), and gives good gifts (James 1:17); the Son suffers (Mark 8:31), redeems (1 Peter 1:18), and upholds all things (Hebrews 1:3); the Spirit regenerates (Titus 3:5), empowers (Acts 1:8), and sanctifies (Galatians 5:22-23). There are also many verses that describe how the Son, Father, and Spirit interrelate. The Father sends the Son and the Spirit. The Son submits Himself to the will of the Father, reveals the Father, and speaks the words of the Father (John 14:7-26) Jesus said: “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one." (John 10:25-30)

Answer 3

No. Not according to the way polytheism is typically understood.

We believe there is one true, almighty God - Jehovah. He has no equal. We believe that there are many beings/creations that are worshipped as "gods" - but these are not the same, nor equal to, the "Only true God" Jehovah - creator of all things.

Jesus Christ is referred to as "mighty God" in the scriptures as well. But this is a title referring to position bestowed upon him by his Father, the Creator.

Satan is also called the "god of this system of the things" or of the world. Again, a reference to position and a title.

We believe in one Creator and thus one true God deserving of worship. But MANY things are "gods" - anything someone worships can be called a god to that person - even inanimate objects - such as money.

Answer 4

The Supreme Being, whose distinctive name is Jehovah. The Hebrew language uses terms for “God” that convey the idea of strength, also of majesty, dignity, and excellence. In contrast to the true God, there are false gods. Some of these have set themselves up as gods; others have been made objects of worship by those who serve them.
There are sound reasons for believing in God?
Ps. 19:1: “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.”
Ps. 104:24: “How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions.”
Rom. 1:20: “His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made.”

People in the first century—like many today—worshiped “those who are called ‘gods,’ whether in heaven or on earth.” Paul, in fact, said: “There are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’.” However, he also explained: “There is actually to us one God the Father,” and “there is one Lord, Jesus Christ.”—1 Corinthians 8:5, 6.

Answer 5

What is very silly. They believe is many gods and claim to be monotheistic. Yet, they stubbornly argue that Trinity is a polytheistic concept.

JWs are polytheistic, and they are not Christians.

Answer 6

no our god is one god.Found in the bible over 7000 times.
Read Jesus words below.

(Matthew 22:34-38) 34 After the Pharisees heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they came together in one group. 35 And one of them, versed in the Law, asked, testing him: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. . .

This was a direct quote from Deut. below

(Deuteronomy 6:4-5) 4 “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. 5 And you must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force.

Answer 7

You confusing The JW's with the Hindu's. Jehovah alone is the one Almighty God, not a third of a god needing two others to make a whole: “Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.” “It is I who am God, and there is no other—The God, and there is none like me.” (Deut. 6:4)
Nice Hat.
