| Christiains Beliveve... | Jehovahs' Witness Believe... | |
| About God | ||
| that God is an eternal, personal, spiritual Being in three persons- the Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt. 3:13-17; 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14) | that there is one solitary being from all eternity; Jehovah God, the Creator and Preserver of the Universe and all things. They deny the doctrine of the Trinity. | |
| About Immortality | ||
| that Scripture teaches that man has an eternal, immortal soul ( Gen 1:26; 5:1; Job 32:8; Acts 7:59; 1 Cor 11:7) | that man does not have an immortal soul. They teach that the soul is not separate from the body. | |
| About Jesus Christ | ||
| that Christ is divine, a part of the Trinity, God Himself (John 1:1; 1Cor. 1:15-19; 2:9; 1 John 5:7,8) | that Christ was not God but God's first created creature. They deny Christ's deity. | |
| About Atonement | ||
| that Christ's death was the complete payment for man's sin's (Rom 3:@4,25; Col 1:20; 1 Peter 2:24; 2 Cor 5:20) | that Christ's death provides the opportunity for man to work for his salvation; perfect human life on an Eden-like earth. | |
| About Christ's Resurrection | ||
| that Christ was bodily resurrected from the grave (John 2:21; 20:24-29; Luke 24:43) | that Christ was rasied a "divine spirit". They deny the bodily resurrection of Christ. | |
| About Christ's Return | ||
| that Christ will return to earth physically (1 Thess. 4:16,17; Matt. 24:30; Zech 12:10; Rev. 1:7) | that Christ returned to earth - invisibly- in 1914, and now rules the earth from heaven | |
| About Hell | ||
| there is eternal punishment for sin (Matt. 5:22; 8:11; 13:42, 50; 22:13; Luke 13:24-28; 2 Peter 2:17; Jude 13; Rev. 14:9-11) | that there is no hell or eternal punishment. Thow who do measure up to Jehovah's standards will be annihalated. |
