Jehovah is God

 "But Jehovah is in truth God. He is the living God and the King to time indefinite. Because of his indignation the earth will rock, and no nations will hold up under his denunciation. This is what you men will say to them: 'The gods that did not make the very heavens and the earth are the ones who will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.' He is the Maker of the earth by his power, the One firmly establishing the productive land by his wisdom, and the One who by his understanding stretched out the heavens." - Jeremiah 10

 Jehovah’s Witnesses, as the name implies, believe that Jehovah is the only true God.

Jesus Christ

Jehovah God and Jesus Christ have a very special bond – even a unique relationship. Long before he was born to the Jewish virgin, Mary, Jesus had been born as a spirit and Jehovah was his Father. 

Although it is humanly incomprehensible the Almighty, Jehovah, was alone for an eternity. But when God became a Creator his very first creation was the spirit creature that eventually became the man, Jesus Christ. That is why Jesus is called “the firstborn of all creation” and “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Colossians 1:15 and Revelation 3:14)

'Jehovah's Witnesses deny the Deity of Christ'

A common accusation by Trinitarians is that Jehovah’s Witnesses deny the deity of Christ. That certainly sounds sinister. Denying the divinity of Jesus makes Jehovah’s Witnesses out to be unchristian, even anti-Christs. But such is not the case. In truth, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not deny the divinity of Christ. As already stated above, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Jesus had a prehuman existence and in that state he was divine. Although not Almighty God, the Word, as he was/is called, was a god. He existed as the very image and likeness of the only true God.

Is Jesus Michael the Archangel?

Michael the Archangel

The simple truth revealed in the Holy Scriptures, is that Jehovah is God and Jesus is his son. More exactly, Jesus is Jehovah’s only begotten Son, being the only creation in all existence that was directly created by Jehovah himself. But Jesus is not the only son. God is also Father to millions of other sons. Long before the universe was created God had a family of sons in heaven. All the angels are sons of God, created by God by means his firstborn Son.

But the angelic sons of God are not all the same sort. God created one sort as cherubs. Another classification of the spirits is seraphim.  And then there is the chief angel, an Archangel known as Michael, the great prince.

Life, Death and Beyond

The truth is simple. The sad fact is, though, most people prefer to believe lies. And consequently, the truth is an alien thing to them. No doubt the primary reason most people embrace the prevalent lies common to the world is due to the evil influence of the one whom Jesus described as both the ruler of the world and the father of the lie – Satan.

A Great Crowd Will Never Die

Illustration taken from What Does the Bible Teach? 

Jehovah’s Witnesses have the hope of never dying – a hope solidly based upon their unique understanding of the Bible.

God made man and woman to live on the earth forever. Like the loving Father he is, Jehovah desired his earthly children to have every good thing. Jehovah endowed us with his own character and personality, which is what it means to be made in his image. For example, human kindness is merely a reflection of Jehovah’s kindly character. Our innate sense of fairness and justice, as another example, was implanted in the minds of our original parents by the God of justice himself.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses Christians?

This is a reprint of an article originally published in 2003.

Matt Slick of The Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry (CARM) asks that very question (Is the Jehovah's Witnesses religion Christian?) and conveniently supplies the reader with the answer. Here is a quote taken from the CARM website:

"The answer to the question is, 'No. It is not Christian.' Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity."

The god of this world

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Satan is the god of this world. (2 Corinthians 4:4) He became such when he misled Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, thereby effectively bringing the world under his evil influence. To grasp the extent of his power over mankind consider the words of Jesus when he said that the ruler of the world would be cast out. Who was Jesus referring to as the ruler of the world? Satan is the unseen ruler of the world. That is why Satan tempted Jesus by offering him all the kingdoms of the world that he rules over.

A New Heaven and a New Earth

After creating the first man and woman in his image Jehovah, stated his purpose for them was that they fill the earth and have in subjection every non-human creature on the planet. Being made in God’s image not only means that humans are endowed with divine characteristics, but seeing that God lives forever, those in his image are also imbued with a sense of infinite futurity and the potential to realize it. Death would only come about through rebellion. If Adam and Eve had not willingly disobeyed God’s clearly stated command they would still be alive today and the earth would be an entirely different place.

THE KINGDOM

When Jesus was on the earth he instructed his disciples to go through the entire length and breath of Israel declaring the exciting message that the kingdom of God had drawn near.

Originally the apostles and other disciples were under the impression that the kingdom of God they were preaching would be a restoration of the kingdom of Israel.
