Opinion:six Reasons Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are The True Christians by digitalman2811(m): 8:56am On Aug 13, 2020
Before I will tell you why Jehovah's Witnesses are the only true followers of Jesus Christ here on earth, it is also good for you to know first; who are Jehovah's Witnesses?

Jehovah's Witnesses come from hundreds of ethnic group and language backgrounds, yet they are united by common goals. Above all, they want to honour Jehovah, the God of the Bible and the creator of all things. They do their best to imitate Jesus Christ and they are proud to be called Christians.








Now that you briefly know who they are. Let us now see the reasons why they are the only true followers of Jesus Christ currently here on earth.

1. Jehovah's Witnesses are the only Christians religion in the whole world that preaches that God is not going to destroy the globe of this earth, rather God is going to transform it into paradise earth where righteous ones will dwell on it forever.




Their reasons based on these following Bible chapters and verses:

"I did not create [the earth] simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited," says Isaiah 45:18.

"A generation is going, and a generation is coming, But the earth remains forever", says Ecclesiastes 1:4.

Psalm 37:29 says, " The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it".

" with that, I heard a loud voice from the throne says: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away", says Revelation 21:3, 4.



They believe in these promises by God because God's decisions will stand forever and God cannot lie. Read Genesis 1:28. Isaiah 46:9-11 and Isaiah 55:11.

2. Jehovah's Witnesses are the only Christians organization here on earth that do not believe in Trinity. They believed that Jesus Christ is not God but the son of God. Therefore, Jesus is not part of the Trinity.

Their belief is based on the following Bible points stated here below.

John 3:16. " For God so loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".

"This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ", says John 17:3.

Colossians 1:15 called Jesus the firstborn of all creation".
1timothy 2:5! For there is one God and one mediator between God and men,a man,christ Jesus
Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former,things of long ago,that iam God and there is no other,iam God,and there is no one like me

In Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter identified Jesus as the Christ, " the son of the living God".

The Bible says that this is what happened "After being baptised, Jesus immediately came up from the water; and look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw God's spirit descending like a dove and coming upon him. Look! Also, a voice from the heavens said: " This is my son, the beloved, whom I have approved. - Matthew 3:16, 17.

The Bible says Jehovah alone is Almighty and has no equal (Genesis 17:1. I Corinthians 11:3 Psalms 90:1).

Jesus himself called God his father and acknowledged the fact that he is not God and shows that God is greater than him in John 14:28.

3. Jehovah's witnesses are the only Christians religion here on earth that do not use to celebrate a birthday, Christmas, New Year, and do not use to observe any religious holidays due to their firm believed in the Bible and in imitation of first-century Christians and Jesus himself.

Their belief is based on the facts that all these celebrations are not biblical and also their origins are rooted in paganism. Which the true followers of Jesus Christ should be avoided.

Jehovah's Witnesses strictly acknowledged to what the Bible says in 2Corinthians 6:17 "Therefore, get out from among them, and separate yourselves, says Jehovah, and quit touching the unclean thing", and I will take you in".

The book Sacred Origins of Profound Things states: " For two centuries after Christ's birth, no one knows, and few people cared, exactly when Jesus was born".

Even if Jesus' disciples had known the exact date of his birth, they would not have celebrated it because, as the World Book Encyclopedia says, the early Christians "considered the celebration of anyone's birth to be a pagan custom".

The only birthday observances mentioned in the Bible are those of two rulers who did not worship Jehovah. Read from Genesis 40:20, and Marks 6:21.

Birthday celebrations were also held in honour of pagan deities. For example, on May 24 the Romans celebrated the birthday of the goddess Diana. On the following day, they observed the birthday of their sun god, Apollo.

Hence, birthday celebrations were associated with paganism, not with Christianity. No Christians religion teaches that except Jehovah's witnesses because they chose to follow or imitate Jesus footstep.

More so, another thing to note is that many Greeks and Romans of ancient times believed that a spirit attended the birth of each human and protected that one throughout life. " This spirit had a mystic relation with the god on whose birthday the individual was born", says the book The Lore of Birthdays. This is not in harmony with the Bible teaching, therefore, Jehovah's witnesses as true followers of Jesus Christ choose to abstain from these celebrations.

4. Jehovah's Witnesses are the only Christian denominations in the whole world that do not use cross and images like that of Jesus in their worship to God. They believed that God does not want humans to use the image in worshipping him.

Exodus 20:4, 5 says, "You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. You must not bow down to them nor be enticed to serve them, for I Jehovah your God, am a God who requires exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me".

5. They are the only Christians religion that does not take blood transfusions because is against their Christian faith, in accordance with the Bible.

Check the Bible reference that helps Jehovah's Witnesses to refuse blood transfusions.

Genesis 9:3, 4 says " Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. Just as I gave them all to you. Only flesh with its life -its blood - you must not eat.

"Therefore, my decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood", - Acts 15:19, 20.

God also forbade consuming blood. Leviticus 17:10, 11, "If any man of the house of Israel or any foreigner who is residing in your midst eats any sort of blood, I will certainly set my face against the one who is eating the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have given it on the altar for you to make atonement for yourselves because it is the blood that makes atonement by means of the life in it".

They obey the clear direction to completely abstain from blood.

6. Jehovah's witnesses are the only Christians organization here on earth that use to preach the gospel of God from house to house in imitation of Jesus Christ.




They are the only Christians that follow the command given by Jesus Christ in Matthew chapter 28 verses 19.


Matthew 28: 19, 20, " Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And Look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things".

They obey these commands from Jesus by following his footsteps very closely and preach to people anywhere they find people.

They use to preach from house to house, village to village, and even in market places and from door to door just like Jesus.








Read Matthew 6:56.

No wonder everyone in the community always recognizes Jehovah's Witnesses anywhere they are found with their unique bags and umbrellas and always moving in twos just like Jesus who sent his first set of disciples and they were in twos - Luke 10:1.







With these six points stated hereinabove, you will also agree with my opinion that Jehovah's witnesses are the only true followers of Jesus Christ presently here on earth.

There's nothing like "denomination" in God's kingdom, it's just two ways the broad and the narrow. Matthew 7:13-14
So instead of thinking of forming another group, the best thing to do is join the one doing what you know is correct after all they're everywhere! Romans 15:5-6, 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3; Philippians 2:2 smiley

More like "six reasons Jehovah Witnesses are the true Jehovah Witnesses."

Christians are supposed to be Witnesses of Christ but Jehovah Witnesses are anything but that.

Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES UNTO ME both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Jesus formed a group in the first century and told them that Satan will later plant bad seeds in their midst, but later there is going to be a separation of his true seeds from Satan's weed. Matthew 13:24-30
Today Jehovah's Witnesses stand out as a separate group from all other religions, they're up and doing in the preaching work, they've made all their members globally vowed never to take up weapons against their fellowman, they're no part of Politics and everyone know them in the neighbourhood as peace loving worshipers.
Surely Jesus' group has been separated from the world empire of false religion and their name JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! smiley

There were hypocrites and evil people amongst the Israelites when God said "Israelites are my special possession"
So don't be deceived, if things are to go by the way you're thinking then all religions will be acceptable to God because you'll see both good and evil people in all religions. But what makes a religion acceptable is not the attitude of the person involved rather it's knowing the true religion, and after knowing it, try to live up to the standard. There is no amount of good behaviour a person can have, if he fails to do the things Jesus commanded he can't see God's Kingdom! John 3:16
So do you think it's all religion claiming Christian that's practicing what Jesus laid down? Matthew 7:21-23 undecided

@ bolded is 100% correct!

But as for the underlined i disagree with you, if it's only God that will know those practicing the teachings of Christ, Jesus Christ himself will not say "you will KNOW them by their FRUIT" Matthew 7:16-20
Neither will he say "you will KNOW the truth" John 8:32

So i believe it's possible to KNOW (IDENTIFY) those practicing pure worship if we truthfully want to KNOW them!

Jesus' use of the collective pronoun "THEM" indicates that if you are interested in knowing those worshiping God it's not by the behaviour of one person as in thinking an individual on his own but the activities of a group. Of course someone who wants to know the truth must be truthful himself meaning such an individual already has virtuous attributes but is looking for the group where such attributes could be put to use in rendering sacred service to God. Matthew 7:13-14

So don't think Jesus' counsel was for everyone, it's specifically directed at those having pure minds who wants to find the group of worshipers practicing pure worship! Psalms 1:1 smiley
