Jehovah's Witnesses

Revelation 16:16 names Armageddon as the place where kings are gathered for the war of the great day of God. Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that this war destroys the wicked and that Jesus began ruling in 1914.

Jehovah’s Witnesses say Jehovah is the Creator whom Jesus worshipped, and they hedge the meaning of the name as what a number of scholars suggest. Mark and John apply the LORD’s words to Jesus. The spelling essay and the New Testament name count are other pages.

Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that the dead cease to exist. The King James speaks of being with Christ, and of judgment after death.

The 2025 service year lists 9,205,326 peak publishers and 20,635,015 at the Memorial. Pew finds under 1% of U.S. adults identify as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that the 144,000 are born again to rule in heaven. John 3 says a person must be born again to see the kingdom of God.

Jehovah’s Witnesses count 2,520 years from October 607 B.C.E. to October 1914, when they say Christ began to rule. Editors date the earlier capture to 597.

Latter-day Saints and Jehovah’s Witnesses are different churches. One teaches that the Father has a body of flesh and bones. The other says Jesus is not Almighty God.

Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that 144,000 people are resurrected to heaven to rule with Christ, and that the great crowd lives forever on earth. Revelation 7 numbers 144,000 from the tribes of Israel, then a multitude before the throne.

Should we worship Jesus? The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) says “obeisance.” The Greek verb is the same.

Yes. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, God with the Father and the Son. Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that the spirit is God’s active force.

Jehovah’s Witnesses say Jesus rose as a spirit creature. Luke 24:39, John 2:19–21, and 1 Peter 3:18 show whether the body that died was raised.

Paul says the head of Christ is God, and that the Son will subject himself to the Father. The same verse uses that word head for a husband and a wife.

Jehovah’s Witnesses say Jesus died on an upright stake. John speaks of nails in his hands, and Justin Martyr describes two beams.

A Megiddo mosaic, dated 200 to 299, offers a table to God Jesus Christ. John and Ignatius say the same before Nicaea in 325.

Isaiah 9:6 calls the child Mighty God. Isaiah 10:21 uses that same Hebrew title for the God to whom the remnant of Jacob returns.

Jehovah’s Witnesses read Mark 10:18 as Jesus refusing the title good and pointing to God. Mark 10:21 says he loved the man and called him to follow.

The study note in the New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) says Colossians 1:15 means Jesus is the first creature Jehovah made. In Scripture “firstborn” is also the title of the heir who ranks first, and the next verse says all things were created in him.

Romans 8:9 calls God’s Spirit the Spirit of Christ, and Jesus says he will send that Spirit. Jehovah’s Witnesses call the holy spirit God’s active force.

Matthew 18:20 belongs to a paragraph about correcting a brother. Jesus also promises to be with his people to the end of the age.

Jehovah’s Witnesses reserve “the Alpha and the Omega” for Jehovah. In the New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) the one who became dead says he is the First and the Last, and Revelation 22:13 joins that title to the Alpha and the Omega.

The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) prints Jehovah 237 times in the New Testament. The Greek copies it cites read Lord.

Jehovah’s Witnesses say leaving God’s name out of the Bible is a serious mistake. Acts 4:12 and Philippians 2 put the saving name on Jesus.

The sentence about the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost in the King James Version of 1 John 5:7 was added later. The Trinity does not rest on it.

Which Bible translation is most accurate? The Hebrew and Greek are the text. Word-for-word English stays closer to that wording.

What is the Trinity? Christians confess one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Not three gods, and not one person taking turns.

Jehovah’s Witnesses, Latter-day Saints, Oneness Pentecostals, Iglesia Ni Cristo, Christadelphians, Christian Science, and Unitarian Universalists do not confess the Nicene Trinity. Catholic, Orthodox, and Baptist confessions do. Jesus is God.

John the Baptist was not one of the Twelve. The Gospels call him the prophet and forerunner who prepared the way of the Lord, baptized Jesus, kept his own disciples, and testified that Jesus existed before him.

Latter-day Saints worship Jesus Christ. Their teaching of God and of salvation is not the Nicene confession.

The Church of God General Conference says Jesus came into existence at his conception. John 8:58, John 17:5, 1 Corinthians 10:4, and Hebrews 1:10 say the Son was already there.

The MJAA, IAMCS, UMJC, Jews for Jesus, and Chosen People confess the Trinity. The movement has no single creed, and some groups called Messianic reject it.

Yes. Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. They teach three separate beings, one in purpose, which is not the Nicene Trinity.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not enter plural marriage today. Doctrine and Covenants 132 taught it. The 1890 Manifesto told the Saints to stop.

Biblical Unitarian camps read 1 Corinthians 8:6 as the Father alone being God. The verse also says all things are by the Lord Jesus Christ.
