Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?

Answer 1

God is truth and nothing but truth. How many lies do you need to know about before you call it a lie? Guess what other false religion is based off of the Mason's?

Answer 2

Jehovah's Witnesses are as close to Christianity as one can get.We alone adhere solely to the Bible as the source of all our beliefs.We alone follow the example Jesus set by going and speaking to people about Jehovah God and his Kingdom.
People claim we arent Christians because we dont believe that God and Jesus are the same being.But the Bible doesnt teach the trinity doctrine. This is a pagan teaching that was fused in with apostate Christianity back in the 4th century CE.

Answer 3

John 1:18
No man has seen God!

Jesus is God.
Confusing!

When people attack a sincere and faithful people who in their hearts say they are Christian by others pertaining to be themselves Christian always makes me wonder what they think themselves are by being of such arrogance.

No wonder atheists and others have such a hard time respecting Christianity when there is so much feuding and disrespect from those people who pertain to be about love and respect.

Jehovah's Witnesses in their hearts and minds are doing what they see as sincerely right. The fruits they produce of peace to all humanity, devotion and are probably the biggest defenders of the scriptures worldwide shows they are sincere and loving people.
To just bluntly go after them like they do is unchristian and to be honest since the attackers of Jehovah's people are from various denominations they all have their own versions of what truth is. They have no unity worldwide like Jehovah's Witnesses.
Go to any part of the world whether Peru, Africa, China, USA, Easter Island where ever you like and will be given the same message of the kingdom and all of these Christians are peaceable and not waring against mankind. They know their enemy is Satan not flesh and blood. Something maybe the churches themselves need to learn who have promoted wars and crusades since inception.
Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones who preach the coming kingdom message of Daniel 2:44. They use the name of God, Jehovah, proudly not just his title but his personal name. They only worship Jehovah.

Most people knock them because they are confused that they do not follow the spirit of the nations and as Jesus commanded they are apart from the world and truely the world hates them because it hated Jesus first.
Jehovah's people are guaranteed to be hated because the Bible says that Satan is the ruler of this world in 2 Corinthians 4:4. Satan has been attacking Jehovah's people because he wants to crush the preaching of the kingdom and the real hope it gives mankind eternally.
The churches have no interest in the kingdom message, it doesn't teach the kingdom of God on earth as in heaven. They refuse to accept the kingdom as being real, very contrary to what the Bible message and one of the most important themes of the Bible - The coming kingdom to crush all wickedness, suffering, death and pain forever off the face of the earth.

Answer 4

It seems Rather Easy for Folk who carry a Bible and read it to Point out to others as to who are Christians and who are Not. What Qualifies a Person to call themselves Christian should be the Benchmark. Jesus Himself set the Standard as to who his Followers would be.. Notice.
“By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—JOHN 13:35.
UNITY : Racial harmony: “Usually, churches draw in members of a certain race or ethnic group. . . . Yet, the Jehovah’s Witnesses all sitting together and not in certain cliques.”
Brothers and sisters,’ they really mean it.
Whites, blacks, browns, and yellows whose hearts were transparent because they were brothers and sisters.
You can go ANYWHERE in the world to a Congregation and be welcomed as a Brother or Sister. Try that being a Catholic or some other Religion...
Jesus said " “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”—MATTHEW 22:39.
Who shows that Kind of Love by preaching to People about God's Kingdom.. is that Not love in action?

JW know their Bibles because they NOT gullible in just reading One verse and running with it, they realize that the Bible has to Harmonize in order for us to benefit from it..so when one reads a Scripture such as John 1:1.. they want to see how that would follow through on other Thoughts On Jesus. Then when they Read that Jesus is mentioned @ John3:16 is shown to be the " Only Begotten son".. well what does that mean? Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18; 1Jo 4:9) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:4-7) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense, even as Isaac was Abraham’s “only-begotten son” in a particular sense (his father already having another son but not by his wife Sarah).—Heb 11:17; Ge 16:15.

What it comes down too is this. It does not Matter whether people think Jehovah Witnesses are Christian or Not. Both Jehovah & Jesus Know, and thats what Really Matters.

Answer 5

I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Yes we are Christians, as we strive to follow the teachings of Jehovah as found in the Bible and expressed by his son Jesus.

Answer 6

Yes, they're the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, the worldwide Christian society of people who actively bear witness regarding Jehovah God and his purposes affecting humans. They base their beliefs solely on the Bible. Jehovah’s Witnesses today form an international organization that is completely separate from all other religious organizations. Since we are often misrepresented, it would be a mistake to expect to learn the truth about us from prejudiced sources. So we are pleased to explain to you some of our principal beliefs.

We believe that “all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial.” (2 Timothy 3:16.)

We endorse completely the apostle Peter’s testimony regarding Jesus Christ: “There is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”—Acts 4:12.

However, since Jesus said that he is “God’s Son” and that the “Father sent me forth,” Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that God is greater than Jesus. (John 10:36; 6:57) Jesus himself acknowledged: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28; 8:28.) Thus we do not believe that Jesus is equal with the Father, as the Trinity doctrine says. Rather, we believe that he was created by God and that he is subordinate to Him.—Colossians 1:15; 1 Corinthians 11:3.

In the English language, God’s name is Jehovah. The Bible says: “Thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.” (Psalm 83:18 "King James Version") In keeping with this declaration, Jesus placed great emphasis on God’s name, teaching his followers to pray: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.” And he himself prayed to God: “I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me.”—Matthew 6:9; John 17:6.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that they should be like Jesus in making God’s name and purposes manifest to others. Hence we have taken the name Jehovah’s Witnesses because we imitate Jesus, “the Faithful Witness.” (Revelation 1:5; 3:14) Appropriately, Isaiah 43:10 says to God’s representative people: “‘You are my witnesses,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘even my servant whom I have chosen.’”

Jehovah’s Witnesses have complete confidence in a future life, based on a resurrection from the dead under God’s Kingdom. We believe, as the Bible teaches, that when a person dies his existence really ceases, that “in that day his thoughts do perish.” (Psalm 146:3, 4; Ezekiel 18:4; Ecclesiastes 9:5) Yes, future life for the dead is based on God’s remembrance of them in a resurrection.—John 5:28, 29.

Answer 7

Yes.

The word "Christian" emplies more than just a person who professes to believe in the Christ, Jesus. Jesus said that his true followers would obey him and walk in his foosteps. Please note in this verse how Jesus makes it clear that a true follower of Christ is more than one who just claims to be his follower:

""Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" -Matthew 7:21-23

So simply saying 'Lord, Lord' is not enough. A person must do God's will. This means that a person changes his personality into one that is holy. It also means that a person refrains from doing things that God hates. (Colossians 3:5-10)

You cannot judge a religion by what others say about it. Remember, there were many who spread lies about Jesus. (Luke 7:34) Jesus likewise said that his true disciples would be lied about. (Matthew 5:11, 12) Since this world is in Satan's power (1 John 5:19), and since Satan is the "father of the lie" (John 8:44), it should come as no surprise that God's true servants have been rejected by the world.

"If you had anything in common with the world, the world would love you as one of its own. But you don't have anything in common with the world. I chose you from the world, and that's why the world hates you." -John 15:19

Answer 8

Those "In tHE" Know Refer 2 tHEm as Jehovah's (CHRISTIAN) Witnesses !

Answer 9

Christians have faith, hope, and love in God Almighty (JHVH), only begotten son Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Yep, they are Christians. Who is NOT Christians are Buddhist Religion (an example).

Answer 10

In a broad sense of the term, yes -- although they separate themselves from mainstream Christianity ("Christendom," in their terms) and consider themselves true Christians -- while mainstream Christianity puts them out on the fringe as having the heretical beliefs the early creeds of the Church fought against.

Added: From the "thumbs down" responses I got, I can see who's in the majority here. I thought I gave a very objective answer.

Answer 11

It depends on how you define Christian.
Protestants and Catholics define it as believing in the creeds established in the early days of the church.

I think Pentecostals believe that all you need to do to be Christian is accept Christ as your lord and savior.

Having talk to JW's they say they are Christian. I am happy to accept them as a Christian religion if that is what they believe.
