In other words, the JWs believe that God the Father created the Lord Jesus first before all other things, then everything else was created after Jesus. What they teach instead is that the Lord Jesus is a creature, a created being, who came into existence just like everything else came into being, only before all other things were created. They reject the historic teaching of mainstream Christianity. But the Jehovah’s Witnesses reject this clear biblical teaching. ![]() So here is a clear teaching that the Word, the eternal Christ, the Lord Jesus, existed from eternity back, but came to earth in the virgin’s womb and was born as the Savior of mankind. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth,” John 1:14. The Bible teaches that Jesus has existed from all eternity, just as the verse from John 1:1 shows, “And the Word was God.” Later in the same chapter, we read, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. He was with God in the beginning.” Historic, biblical, mainstream Christianity teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ is eternal, without beginning or end, just as the historic creeds, such as the Nicene Creed, state. John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. #1 shocking belief of Jehovah’s Witnesses – they believe Jesus is a creature, a created being, not eternal. They’ll give a friendly, reasonable presentation on your doorstep, but what do they really believe? That’s what I’d like to explain today. Every Saturday you’ll see two or three persons walking down the sidewalk carrying a briefcase and looking like they might be businessmen or women but they aren’t, they’re JWs trying to recruit for their church. This is a group that is out and active in most communities. But I’ll save that critique until next week this week I’d like to focus on the three most shocking beliefs of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. It’s not as popular these days, it’s not growing rapidly, it might even be dying as an organization, but it still has influence in society today through such things as the Christian Science Monitor newspaper and radio broadcasts. In a few weeks I’m also going to give an outline of the three most shocking beliefs of the Christian Science church, because like the Mormons and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, this is a cult as well. Just like what the Mormons believe is shocking. What Jehovah Witnesses believe is shocking. If people really knew what Jehovah Witnesses believed, they’d be more cautious and careful about listening to church members present their teachings. Most of these new recruits are led astray through ignorance, deception and lies. But it’s important that people know, understand and beware of these false teachings because for all the joking and making fun of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ evangelism techniques, they are indeed recruiting followers going door-to-door. Now most or all of these shocking beliefs are things you’ll never hear about at your doorstep with a visit from a member of the Jehovah’s Witness church they keep these beliefs pretty well hidden until you are fully indoctrinated into their religious cult community. They are: one, that Jesus is a creature two, that JW’s believe their church speaks for God even after repeated false predictions of Christ’s Second Coming three, that Jesus didn’t raise from the dead. Today I’ll outline three of the most shocking beliefs of the Jehovah’s Witness cult. ![]() Like the Mormon’s the Jehovah’s Witness religion is a false cult also – and they like the Mormons have shocking beliefs. Today, however, I’d like to shift from examining Mormon beliefs to putting Jehovah’s Witness beliefs under the microscope. But I’m glad God gave me a voice in the local newspaper in order to teach his Word among the people. ![]() I guess the last point was too shocking for the newspaper, or they thought it would be too shocking for the readers. I guess having the paper print two out of three shocking Mormon beliefs isn’t bad. The Jackson-Citizen Patriot ran my article, although they omitted my last point, how Mormons teach that Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers. Last week I wrote a newspaper article on why Mitt Romney’s Mormon religion is a cult, although that shouldn’t be permitted to stop him from running for president.
