  7. What do J.W’s Believe?

  8. (1) Their denial of the deity of Christ is based on Scripture which shows the true humanity of Christ. They will focus on Jesus as a son of God. Remember, Jesus humbled himself when He came to the earth, taking the very nature of a servant, even though His nature is God (Phil. 2:5-8).

  9. (2) New World Translation (NWT), wrongly translated the Greek word which shows that Jesus received worship. NWT, Jesus is said to have received "obeisance" and not "worship.”

  10. (3) Another striking characteristic of the NWT is their usage of "Jehovah." They have done this over 6,000 times in their Bible! But in other literature that they have published, they have gone on record as stating that Yahweh is "the more correct way" to render God's name!

  11. (4) Another unique characteristic of the JW's belief system is their strange view that only 144,000 will enter Heaven. Please know that the 12,000 from the 12 tribes of Israel (equaling 144,000) as mentioned in Rev. 7:4-8 and 14:1-3 does not state that they will be the only ones that will enter Heaven!

  12. (6) So what do JW's want from you and what do they believe about salvation? Own literature answer this: Do not conclude that there are different roads, or ways, that you can follow to gain life in God's new system. There is only one. There was just the one ark that survived the Flood, not a number of boats. And there will be only one organization—God's visible organization—that will survive the fast-approaching "great tribulation." It is simply not true that all religions lead to the same goal. (Matthew 7:21-23; 24:21) You must be part of Jehovah's organization, doing God's will, in order to receive his blessing of everlasting life.—Psalm 133:1-3. (You Can Live Forever In Paradise On Earth, 1982, p. 255.)
