Which beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses do you think are unbiblical?

Question

Answer here (or contact me by email) and i will provide a scriptural basis for each one and also counter wierdos who say that we worship a giant chicken from mars or some other such rubbish.

Just so that we don't make this question look strange with an insane amount of updates please provide me with an email to answer to as well.

Thanks!

Phaka- How else would you suggest we do a worldwide preaching work? Conversely you dont see ushaving air-conditioned dog houses like churches which literally extort money from their followers and do nothing productive with it.

Plus I love sherlock holmes.

Answer 1

Christ established one Church. One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. This is the Church of Rome. The Catholic Church. The Church can historically trace its lineage back to the original Apostles. No other Church can make this claim.

Answer 2

Jehovah's Witnesses Beliefs
1. There is one solitary being from all eternity, Jehovah God,
the Creator and Preserver of the Universe and all things. They
deny the doctrine of the Trinity.

The Bible says Matthew3:13-17;

2.Man does not have an immortal soul. They teach that the soul is not separate from the body.

The Bible says1Corinthians 11:7

3. Christ was not God but God's first created creature. They deny Christ's deity.

The Bible says 1John 5:7-8; Colossians1:15-19

4. Christ's death provides the opportunity for man to work his
salvation:perfect human life for eternity on an Eden-like earth.

The Bible says ROMANS 3:24; Colossians 1:20; 1Peter2:24

5.Christ was raised a "divine spirit" They deny the bodily
resurrection of Christ.

The Bible saysJohn2:21; 20:24-29; Luke 24:43

6 Christ returned to earth invisibly - 1914 and rules earth from
heaven.

The Bible says 1Thessalonians 4:16-17; Matthew24:30;
Zechariah12:10; Revelation1:7

7 There is no hell or eternal punishment. Those who do not
measure up to Jehovah's standards will be annihilated, meaning they will be or know no more.

The Bible says Matthew 5:22; 8:11; 13:42;50; 2Peter2:17;
Jude13; Revelation14:9-11

Answer 3

I do not have a comment on this question, but I will say this...

I find it very SAD that if someone had asked this very same question 25-50 years ago they would have gotten these same exact answers even though half the things they believed then we do not believe today.

I am a Jehovah's Witness.

...Edit...Wait I do have a question, I was researching yesterday....Please explain to me why the Scripture at Matthew 3:3 in our bible says..

"This, in fact, is the one spoken of through Isaiah the prophet in these words: “Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Jehovah*, YOU people! Make his roads straight.’”

*In Greek this word was Kyrios or Lord

and yet the Awake says

*** g87 4/8 p. 14 Abortion—And “the Source of Life” ***

Centuries later, an angel told Zechariah the priest that his wife Elizabeth would have a son who should be named John. It was the privilege of this son, later known as John the Baptizer, to prepare the way for Jesus, the Messiah.

Who was John preparing the way for Jesus or Jehovah?
Why the contradiction?

****Edit****
Wow, I'd really like to know why I got thumbs down. I gave nothing but factual information. Why not email me with the answer instead.

Answer 4

I have often wondered how it is that you know the number of the 144,000. Only the chosen ones drink and eat and it is hard for me to comprehend that Jehovah Witnesses have a number, because it has been almost 2000 years since Christ paid the price for us. I have studied with witnesses' before and I do believe whole hearted that the Witnesses are the closest one around to having the truth. I do how-ever do have a hard time understanding a few of the beliefs, maybe it is just simply my lack of knowledge of God's word, but when I try to get into a discussion with whom ever I am studying with it is like they don't want to go into it to deep. Usually it is...we will get to that later. They want to hurry and get the book or brochure that we are studying in finished. Maybe I am in to much of a hurry to have answers, but I do thirst. I haven't studied in a while and my well is empty.Ha! But seriously I know that I need to get back to studying so I will be on the boat, I know that the Witnesses have the truth!

Answer 5

I believe that the Jw teaching that Jesus is Michael is unbiblical.

Feel tree to contact me via email if you like

Answer 6

Nothing is un-Biblical. Everything we believe is from the Bible and can be proven by going to the Bible.

Answer 7

I think they're the ones that originally said there would only be about 144,000 people in heaven. God told Abraham, his descendants would be as the stars in the sky or the sand on the seashore for multitude. That's more than 144,000, even though I know God was using hyperbole there. Also, they say that Jesus came back spiritually in 1914, but there is no such mention in the Scriptures. When Jesus returns, everyone will know about it (Matthew 24, and Revelation 19-22). There will be no doubt. Spiritually, He never left (Matthew 28:20). Jesus is coequal with the Holy Spirit and God the Father. Some people get confused because Jesus was fully human, and some Scriptures point this out, but He also claimed to be equal with the Father, in John 8:57-58 and other places. Unless you're calling Jesus a liar, Your rejection of the Trinity is unbiblical as well. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct. There's no question about that. They are also one. "Hear o Israel, Jehovah (singular) our Elohim (plural) is one Jehovah (singular)" (Deuteronomy 6:4). This also hints at the Trinity, without fully bringing it out because to do so at that point, would've confused the Israelites, who were redeemed out of bondage to a polytheistic nation, Egypt. And Genesis 1:26 says, "And God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness:" My email address is in my profile, so you can email me if you wish.

Answer 8

So, tell me where in the Bible Jesus claims to be a archangel Michael?

Where in the Bible it says that WT society is the only true channel of communication between God and people?

How you cannot see that the teachings of this organization are false?

NWT was translated by people who had no formal training in Biblical languages, how you can get it?

Answer 9

I haven't found any. I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 10

What they think is not a reasonable base to dispute. What they have has evidence to dispute is what they should come up with. I'm one of Jehovah's witnesses and I know I'm in the truth.

Answer 11

None.
Notice how all these people that are saying all of them or some of them can't prove it with the Bible.
Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth..no doubt about it.

THANKS FOR THE THUMBS UP!!=]
