HISTORY OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES PT 2-B

WHAT DO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES BELIEVE IN?

THE BIBLE:- Jehovah's Witnesses believe that "all scripture is inspired of God." (2 Timothy 3:16). They align their beliefs with the bible.

The Creator:- The true God has given himself a personal name - Jehovah (or Yahweh)- This distiguishes him from false gods. (psalms 83 vs 18). The Hebrew form of the Divine name appears some 7000 times in the original text of the Scriptures. Stressing the importance of that name, Jesus said in his model prayer: "Hallowed be thy name." (Matthew 6:9). God demands exclusive devotion. Hence, the witnesses do not use icons or images in worship.-1 John 5:21

JESUS CHRIST:- He is the savior, "the Son of God," and "the firstborn of all creations." (John 1:34; Colossians 1:15; Acts 5:31) As a "created" being, he is not part of a Trinity. "The Father is greater than I am," said Jesus. (John 14:28) Jesus lived in heaven before coming to earth and after his sacrificial death and resurrection, he returned to heaven ."No one comes to the Father except through him."- John 14:6

GOD'S KINGDOM:- This is an actual heavenly government with a King-Jesus Christ- and 144,000 corulers, who are "brought from the earth." (Revelations 5:9, 10; 14:1,3,4; Daniel 2:44; 7:13,14) They will rule over the earth, which will be cleansed of all wickedness and will be inhabited by many millions of God-fearing humans.- Proverbs 2:21,22

THE EARTH:- Ecclesiastics 1:4 states: "The earth endures for ever." After the distruction of the wicked the earth would be made into a paradise and populated forever by righteous humans. (Psalms 37:10, 11, 29) Jesus' word in prayer "thy will be done on earth" will thus be fufilled .- Matthew 6:10.

BIBLE PROPHESY:- "God... cannot lie." (Titus 1:2) Hence what he foretells always comes true.

SECULAR AUTHORITIES:- "Pay back Ceasers' things to Ceaser and God's things to God" Jesus said (Mark 12:17) Accordingly, Jehovah's Witnesses obey the laws of the land when those do not conflict with God's law.- Acts 5:29; Romans 13: 1-3

PREACHING:- Jesus fortold: "This Good news of the Kingdom will be proclaimed earthwide before the end of the present world. (Matthew 24:14) Jehovah's Witnesses consider it an honor to share in this lifesaving work. Of course whether people listen or not is their own choice. The bible says: "Let anyone that wishes take life's water free."- Revelations 22:17

BAPTISM:- Jehovah's Witnesses baptise only those who, on the basis of a thorough study of the Bible, want to serve God as one of his witnesses. (Hebrew 12:1) These symbolizes their personal dedication to God by water immersion. -Matthew 3:12,16; 28:19

The Clergy-laity distinction:- "All of you are brothers,' said jesus to his followers. (Matthew 23:8) The early Christians, including the bible writers, had no clergy class. This Biblical pattern is the one that Jehovah's Witnesses follow

THE RECORD OF LOYALTY AND COURAGE OF JEHOVAHS WITNESSES IS WRITTEN IN HISTORY AND STANDS IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE APPALLING RECORD OF CHRISTENDOM AND THEIR CLERGY WHO HID BEHIND THE GOVERNMENTS AND WERE THE MAIN INSTIGATERS OF PERSECUTION

[frankhaberer]

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is only ONE God and Creator, That Jesus is his son who was sent out to show us how to apply Gods Word ( and live our Life ) and that Gods Word is the ONLY interpreter of it's meaning .Study with someone and Check out the truthfulness of this statement and start to believe Gods word and you verify it's truthfulness for yourself.
