Why is the jehovah witness bible different
7 FALSE BELIEFS JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TEACH!
in this video I want to share with you
seven false beliefs that are being
promoted by the Jehovah's Witnesses in
hopes that it will make you more
prepared to defend what you believe as a
Christian the next time a jehovah's
witness comes knocking at your door
that's coming up today on the beat him a

consider subscribing hit that little
Bell notification so you won't miss a
beat okay so most of us have had this
experience at some point in our lives
you're sitting at home you're not doing
anything and all of a sudden you hear
someone knocking on your door and you're
like okay so you get up you go to the
door and it is a Jehovah's Witness
standing there and they start sharing
what they believe they may even give you
a tract or something to the watchtower
society and if you're not careful after
that conversation you're just kind of
confused because what they're saying
comes from the Bible and sounds like
it's making sense and now you're more
confused about your faith than you were
before you open the door so here are
seven false beliefs that you need to be
ready for the next time a jehovah's
witness comes knocking at your door and
hopefully the next time that happens you
will be more prepared false belief
number one is this idea that god only
has one name hence the name jehovah's
witnesses but we can understand from
Scripture that this is not a proper
belief because the Bible uses many words
or names to describe God one of which is
Elohim or El Shaddai
another is Lord or in the Hebrew Adonai
sometimes he's referred to as father or
our Father and the Lord's Prayer or
creator and what not and so this idea
that God has to be referenced by one
name Jehovah and one name only is just
simply not supported in Scripture now
the second false belief that Jehovah's
Witnesses subscribed to is this idea
that the Trinity is not biblical because
the word Trinity does not show up in the
Bible now
in order to save time in this particular
video I'm not going to go into the
entire teaching on the Trinity because I
have an entire other video that's about
10 minutes long that goes into all sorts
of depth uses a lot more scriptures than
we have time for in this video so if
you're not quite sure how to explain the
Trinity I want to encourage you to go
look at that video I'm going to put a
link in the description put a card
somewhere up on the screen but here is
the idea number one the concept of the
Trinity is based on three truths first
of all there is only one God truth
number two God exists as three persons
eternally truth number three each person
is God now I know that's very hard for
us to understand and comprehend that's
why I have a whole other video check
that out because you want to be prepared
the next time a jehovah's witness
suggests that this idea of the trinity
is not biblical okay the third false
belief that Jehovah's Witnesses teach is
this idea that Jesus Christ was a
created Archangel Michael before the
world began but once again this is not
consistent with what the scriptures say
because colossians chapter 1 verse 16
leads us to the conclusion that jesus
created everything so if jesus was the
creator then how could he also be
something or someone who was created
notice what it says here for by him
that's Jesus all things were created in
heaven and on earth the here it is
visible and invisible whether Thrones or
dominions or rulers or authorities all
things were created through him and for
him so if Jesus was the creator of all
of course under the father's domain then
how could he also have been a created
being now along those same lines
Jehovah's Witnesses will also suggest
that Jesus Christ was a mere human being
and was not actually God but the Bible
says in John chapter 1 verse 1 in the
beginning was
word and the Word was with God and the
Word was God
let me repeat that in the beginning was
the word and the Word was with God and
the Word was God
now also in Colossians chapter 2 verse 9
it says for in him in Jesus the whole
fullness of deity dwells bodily and so
basically Jehovah's Witnesses will say
that you know what Jesus was just a man
or he was something else but he wasn't
fully God but that's not what the
scriptures say scriptures say the entire
sum total of everything that makes up
the Godhead was dwelling in bodily form
in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but
not only just looking at what the
scriptures say look at what Jesus did no
mere man can raise the dead no mere man
can can us still the storms and calm the
sea and heal the sick and and and give
blind give sight to the blind and all of
these different things and I walk on
water and feed 5,000 with two fish and
five loaves of bread the very acts and
works of Jesus prove that he is indeed
God and not just simply a man okay the
fourth false belief that Jehovah's
Witnesses will teach is this idea that
Jesus resurrection was more of a
spiritual resurrection but not a
physical resurrection that occurred in a
real actual physical body but once again
this is not consistent with what the
scriptures say the matter of fact on
several occasions it says that after
Jesus rose from the dead he was eating
food it says that in Luke chapter 24
verse 30
now you can't eat food unless you have a
physical body but not only that there
were a few occasions where his disciples
and some of the other females reached
out to touch him to actually take hold
of his physical body we see that also in
matthew chapter 28 verse 9 where it says
and behold Jesus met them and said
greetings and they came up and took hold
of his feet and worshiped him if his
resurrection was not a physical
dirrection in a physical body than my
friends then they would not actually
been able to physically touch him but
not only that the Bible says in first
Corinthians 15 that after he rose from
the dead he spent forty days on earth
actually says in Acts chapter 1 giving
convincing proofs now during the forty
days it says that he was seen by over
500 people at one time and so if this
was just more of a spiritual
resurrection then how is it that all 500
of these people saw some sort of ghost
or had a hallucination or something like
that
once again this claim is not consistent
with the scriptures the fifth false
belief that Jehovah's Witnesses will
promote is this idea that the Holy
Spirit is not God but rather he is an
impersonal force now once again I've got
another teaching that goes into extreme
death I think it's a live stream that I
did it's like an hour and a half long
that talks about the the the Ministry of
the Holy Spirit I'm going to put a link
to that in the description put a card
somewhere on the screen you can watch
that and it'll give you everything that
you ever wanted to know about the Holy
Spirit but in essence the the proof that
we know that the Holy Spirit is indeed
God and not just some force is because
of how the Bible describes the Holy
Spirit it says in Ephesians chapter 4
verse 30 that we can grieve the Holy
Spirit
how can you grieve a force you can't
grieve a force you can only grieve a
person it says in the book of Acts
chapter 5 that a nice and Sapphira lie
to the Holy Spirit you can't lie to a
force you can only lie to a person it
also says in 1st Corinthians chapter 12
verse 11 that the Holy Spirit
distributes the spiritual gifts as he
wills in other words he makes decisions
so Force's don't make decisions
decisions are made for forces but a
person makes a decision also over and
over again in the scriptures the Holy
Spirit is not referred to as an it so if
you're a Christian you keep referring to
the Holy Spirit as an it
then you need to switch because the Holy
Spirit is a person and we need to refer
to him as he as the Scriptures do ok the
sixth false belief that Jehovah's
we'll teach is that hell is not a place
of eternal suffering but rather it's a
place where people will experience
suffering for a time and then they will
be annihilated or eliminated if you will
now to be fair their hope as witnesses
are not the only group that promote this
seventh-day adventists also promote this
as well although I do believe that they
are Christian but this is a false belief
because once again if you look at Luke
chapter 16 it is very clear here and by
the way that's not a parable that's as a
story because Jesus never used proper
names in parables when you look at the
story of Lazarus and the rich man you'll
see that this rich man who went to hell
was experiencing torments he was burning
up in flames he had the he had his
memory he was able to remember that his
brothers were still on earth and he
wanted them to not experience the same
torment that he was experiencing and so
the Bible also describes Hell as a place
where the worm does not die or that fire
cannot be quenched and so if a little
worm which is the smallest insect that
we have doesn't die and my friend you
and I aren't going to die up eventually
to be burnt up eventually and simply
cease to exist now the seventh false
belief that Jehovah's Witnesses will
teach is this idea that only a hundred
and forty-four thousand anointed
believers are going to go to heaven
now to be clear on this position what
they believe is that basically there's
two groups of redeemed Souls there are a
hundred and forty-four thousand anointed
Souls and these will be the special
group of people that are one-day going
to ascend into heaven and reign and rule
with Christ but then the rest of the
sheep or the rest of the believers will
simply have to exist in a earth or a
paradise but they won't be able to
ascend to be able to go to heaven now
this is wrong on many different levels
number one because the Bible says that
in terms of reigning and ruling with
Christ is not going to happen in heaven
it's going to happen on earth whenever
God creates a new heaven and a new earth
and Jesus is going to reign
rule with his believers for a thousand
years during the millennial reign which
is described in Revelation chapter 20
but that's not happening in heaven
that's actually happening in earth the
second reason which I talked about this
before is that the hundred forty-four
thousand people in the book of
Revelation I believe are twelve thousand
Hebrew believers that are living during
the time of the tribulation that God is
going to protect and seal and enable
them to share their faith with other
people so that more people can come to
Christ not only this nowhere in the
bible does the Bible make some
distinction between their being a
special group of believers that are
going to go to heaven and then the rest
of us are going to just have to be here
on earth no the Bible says that the
believers the body of Christ the church
is going to be married or United to
Jesus Christ throughout all time and
every single believer is going to have
equal access in terms of their
relationship and status with Jesus
Christ so my friend these seven false
beliefs that I talked about in this
video are by no means the only
differences between jehovah's witness
beliefs and christianity these are just
a few to get you started i may come back
around some time later and do a second
follow-up video but many of you been
asking about jehovah's witnesses and
what they believe in how we can better
prepare ourselves to share our faith
with them hopefully the scriptures that
i provided in this video as well as the
links to some of my other videos will be
enough to equip you to be able to share
your faith the next time a jehovah's
witness comes knocking on your door if
you found this video helpful and anyway
feel free to share it with a friend also
if you haven't done so already I would
love it if you would subscribe check out
some of the other videos on this channel
thank you so much for watching I'll see
you next time on the beat
