Is the Jehovah's Witnesses' religion Christian?

Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian? The answer to the question is no, it is not.

Like all non -Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witnesses organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity.

It denies the deity of Christ. It denies His physical resurrection and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non -Christian.

To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization, which is the author and teacher of all the

Jehovah's Witnesses theology, has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non -Christian teachings.

Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors.

They take verses out of their immediate context. They refuse to read verses in the entire biblical context.

They insert their theological presuppositions into the text. They've even altered biblical texts to suit their needs.

They latch onto one verse to interpret a host of others. They change the meanings of words.

They proclaim some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines. They even add to the

Word of God. Additionally, the Jehovah's Witness organization requires its members regular weekly attendance at their

Bible study meetings where they are repeatedly indoctrinated with anti -Christian teachings. This is done by reading the

Watchtower magazine, following along with what it says, reading the questions it asks, and reciting the answers it gives.

In other words, the Watchtower organization carefully trains its members to let the organization do their thinking for them.

For confirmation of this, please read, Does the Watchtower Organization Control the

Jehovah's Witness Thinking? on the CARM website. There's plenty of documentation there to demonstrate how they do.

The Witnesses are told they will be persecuted when they go door -to -door teaching their doctrines.

They are further told that this is simply the enemy fighting against God's organization because they are in the truth.

So when someone disagrees with them, they are conditioned to reflect on what the Watchtower has told them. They then feel confirmed in being in God's true organization on earth, like all cults claim.

They are strongly encouraged to have friends and acquaintances that are only Jehovah's Witnesses, thereby keeping outside examination to a minimum.

They are told to shun those who leave their group, for in this way there is no way to see why someone has left, and no way to find out that they are in error from those who have found the truth in Christ.

They are conditioned to shy away from any real biblical knowledgeable people because they don't want to be examined.

An example of this is frequently found on the internet. I was once banned from a Jehovah's Witness chat room after I not only answered their objections to the

Trinity and the Deity of Christ, but challenged them in return. Subsequently, my name was passed around to all other

Jehovah's Witnesses rooms where I was banned from them as well. This is a frequent occurrence on the internet where the

Jehovah's Witnesses are alive and well. It is obvious that critical examination of their doctrines is not encouraged by the

Watchtower organization. The Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves to be

Christian because they believe they are serving the true and living God. Like many cults, they think that they are the only true church on earth.

Yet they deny the Trinity. They deny the Deity of Christ. They deny the personhood of the

Holy Spirit. They deny Jesus' physical resurrection. They deny salvation by grace through faith.

These are essentials to the Christian faith, and they deny them all. They are a non -Christian cult. The Jehovah's Witnesses are discouraged from looking into Jehovah's Witness history or old

Watchtower literature, which is replete with contradictions, altered doctrines, and false prophecies.

Instead, they are indoctrinated repeatedly against basic Christian theology, the Trinity, and the

Deity of Christ. They are told to keep away from people like us who study the truth.

They are indoctrinated in the notion that they are alone of the true servants of God, and that all others are either in Christendom or simply unbelievers.

You have to understand that this is what they do. It is a brainwashing occurrence. This is why they go to their meetings so frequently each week.

It helps keep them indoctrinated. It keeps them safely secure in the Watchtower organization.

Primarily, the Witness organization is a mind -control organization that uses its people to pass out literature and send in donations to the headquarters in Brooklyn.

The Watchtower says, Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the

Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals regardless of how sincerely they may believe they can interpret the

Bible. The Watchtower organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a non -Christian organization that uses its people to teach false doctrines, to collect contributions which are sent into Brooklyn for the purpose of producing more literature by which they can spread their false teachings to other people all over the world.
