In reference to Christianity which faith is more different - Jehovah Witness or Mormonism?

Answer 1

Interesting question.

I would guess that the Mormon religion has a completely new doctrine of salvation, heaven and mankind. So Latter Day Saints are the big winners.

Answer 2

I would say the theology of Mormonism departs more from mainstream Christianity that the Jehovah’s Witnesses, but that Jehovah’s Witnesses as a people make much more of an effort to set themselves apart than Mormon’s do.

Answer 3

Jehovah Witnesses worship Jehovah God and do what Jesus Christ commanded at Matthew 28 verse 19 and 20. to learn what Jehovah Witnesses are all about visit the website at www.watchtower.org. we don't ride bikes. we have our own cars. we can be your next door neighbor. before we where born, we never existed. when we die, we return to the dust. we are the soul. Genesis 2 verse 7. Jehovah never changed his mind that we will once again live forever on earth not in heaven. only 144,000 who Jehovah has anointed will live in heaven with Jehovah and Jesus Christ. our love ones will be resurrected on earth. Jehovah did not change his mind

Answer 4

The question is based on a wrong premise that Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian.

Anyways, Jesus said his true followers would be different. You're just proving him right.

Answer 5

From what I learned of them they have much in common. I would say the difference is more in how many rules of commands they obey. The Jehovah Witnesses believe only two Commandments should be obeyed. The Mormon's have a whole extra book of rules that contradict the Bible all over the place.

Answer 6

I think this is a very fair question and the answer is unquestionably Mormonism. Mormonism claims the authority of the Melchizedek priesthood ordained to Joseph Smith by Peter, James and John who as resurrected personages (like Christ), layed their hands on his head and restored the fullness of Christ's gospel. No other religion claims this. That would make Mormonism the most different... by far.

Answer 7

Mormons are very different. Though, Jehovah's Witness are also very different but considering that Mormons have another testament as they called it and a different set of rituals. They are more different.

Answer 8

Jehovah's Witnesses are the closest religion to true Christianity. Their teachings are based solely on the Bible. They are the only ones who take seriously Jesus' commandment found in Matthew 28:19,20:

"Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you..."

Answer 9

JWs stick closely to what the Bible says. They reject the trinity because neither Jesus nor his followers taught it. At John 17:3, Jesus said that only his Father was the true God.

JWs comply with Jesus' command to preach. Matt. 28:19, 20

JWs do not go to war for any reason. Matt. 5:44

BTW, JWs ARE Christian.

JWs reject holidays like Christmas and Easter because of their pagan past.

Answer 10

What a question! Let me say this once and for all. True Christianity that believes and follows the Word of God is the truth. Everything else like these religions mentioned are false. They are the false prophets mentioned in the Bible...in fact there are many more like them.
