Recommended: Short note on resurrection

The Jehovah Witness beliefs are in strict accordance to the Bible. Their Bible is called the New World Translation Bible. Their God is the God of the Old Testament and they call him Jehovah. Jehovah’s reject the symbol of a cross because they believe it comes from a pre-Christian, pagan origin. They believe Jesus was nailed to a single upright wooden stake. They don not believe in the Trinity. They believe that the Holy Spirit is a force, which intervenes for God on earth. Jehovah’s view Satan as the enemy of God. The way to resist him is to learn about Jehovah.

Jehovah’s accept Genesis as the creation of man. They also believe that every man is born with original sin. They say that when you die your spirit dies along with you. Only some will experience eternal life when they are resurrected.

Jehovah’s believe that salvation is achieved by accepting Christ as the Lord. They believe that it is possible to fall from grace and heaven is a place where Jesus Christ and the other “True Christians” will live. Only 144,000 will have access to Heaven. Hell does not exist for them because...

  • Blood Transfusion on Pregnant Jehovah’s Witness

    784 Words  | 2 Pages

    We all can agree that blood is the most precious liquid that a human being possesses, and without it, life and existence would be diminished. Up to this date, Jehovah’s Witness have refused blood transfusion procedures due to their religion, but this issues becomes more of a predicament when it jeopardize somebody else’s life; a life of fetus in a pregnant woman. Based on Jehovah’s Witness’s Old Testament and New Testament, “It seem good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food scarified to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immortally. You will avoid these things Farewell.” (Acts 15:28-29).

  • No Blood Transfusion for Jehovah's Witnesses

    770 Words  | 2 Pages

    Jehovah's witnesses’ faith allows them to seek medical help; however, they do not accept blood transfusions. This belief arises from a biblical passage that states "Only flesh with its soul- its blood-you must not eat (Genesis 9:3-4), "You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. I will set my face against that person who eats blood...Anyone eating it will be cut off” (Leviticus 17:10, 13-14). These passages are interpreted by Jehovah's witnesses as forbidding the transfusion of any blood products. The following presentation will address legal and ethical issues that can arise from this scenario.

    According to a Christian, there is one true God, and he revealed Himself through the Holy trinity, which is made up of three people; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They also believe that God alone created the world and everything that encompasses it from nothing in six days. They believe that the world was good until Adam sinned against God, and now all people are born into sin. They believe that God sent his only son Jesus to save the world from sin and that Jesus died for all their sins and rose from the dead. They believe that the Holy bible is the sacred word before and after Jesus’s time and that they should live by it to please God and thank him for his son. They believe that people are saved by faith through the grace of Jesus Christ.

    Judaism does not accept the thought of original sin, the idea that people are bad from birth and cannot remove sin by themselves. An act of grace provided by the sacrificial death of Jesus as resentment for all of humanity's sins. For Christians, there are no other forms of salvation other than through Jesus.

  • The Customs and Traditions of Judaism

    Another aspect of the faith that stood out to me occurred during a video presentation by Rabbi Wein who said Judaism does not impose itself upon others, as they believe everyman has a share of the earth. However, Isaiah 44:6 states, “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God.” This Jewish belief contradicts Isaiah’s teachings as it suggests that there are other gods beside God.

  • Judaism

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Jewish beliefs are very similar to those of the Christian’s and the Muslim’s. They believe history and faith are interconnected and everything is part of God’s plan. The sacred text is the Torah and all of the rules and stories and this is where all the rules and stories were written down. Another religious writing is the Ten Commandments. This is believed to be the set of ten rules given to them by God through Moses. Moses, along with Abraham are two of the most important people to the Jewish population. Abraham is the founder of the faith, who made the covenant with God. Moses renewed the covenant with God and received the commandments. He was the one who led the Israelites out of persecution in Egypt, across the Red Sea. Later, many of the Jews moved away from the homeland in a movement called Diaspora. Many settled together in communities that allowed the traditions to survive. Now, Judaism is a major world religion (Ellis Esler, 58-60).
