Is Jehovah's Witness Christain

Post #1

Post by Donray »

The Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves to be Christians because they believe they are serving the true and living God. Like many cults, they think they are the only true church on earth. Yet, they deny the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' physical resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith
.
Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:
Taking verses out of their immediate context.
Refusing to read verses in the entire Biblical context.
Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.
Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.
Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.
Changing the meanings of words.
Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.
Adding to the Word of God.
I thought that any Christina church needed to believe in the Trinity otherwise they are not Christian.

For debate are the Jehovah Witness Christian?

Elijah John wrote: Pagans have a saying, that "all gods are one God". How is that different than the Trinity except by number? How is Trinitarianism NOT a form of polytheism?
Because there are not many gods but only ONE GOD in three persons. I'm pretty sure that the pagan gods are not divine either. No matter how you mix the pagan gods together, they make up a bunch of gods. The truly divine characteristics of the three divine persons of YHWH do not form 3 gods but ONE GOD such is the unifying characteristics of divinity.
PCE Theology as I see it...

We had an existence with a free will in Sheol before the creation of the physical universe. Here we chose to be able to become holy or to be eternally evil in YHWH's sight. Then the physical universe was created and all sinners were sent to earth.

This theology debunks the need to base Christianity upon the blasphemy of creating us in Adam's sin.

Study doesn't seem to help a bad premise, eh? Nor does it ever supercede the Holy Spirit.

You have it wrong again. Christians believe in 3 divine persons whose divine attributes form a perfect Unity so that there is ONE GOD formed by 3 divine persons. Ain't the attributes of divinity wonderful?!
The attributes of Jehovah---the Most High, the ONLY true God---and his unique Son ARE wonderful, each taken as a separate person. Jehovah, the Father, is the ONE God. He is the ONLY God.

That you can't count to three is unfortunate.
