your interpretation is not established in d Bible.yes the just will resurate to meet christ.and the unjust will resurate to judgement (condemnation) the 1000 years is for the just. pls read the book of revelation very well.it was after the 1000 years that the devil and unjust will be condemned . before the he will be put in bottomless pit..pls read Tru the book of revelation

You that claim Jesus Christ is God....you're now the Christian abi?

I've come across trinitarian and their claims has no scriptural basis and facts ...Just because you're used to drinking stagnant water doesn't mean stagnant water is best for you. Come out with your Trinity doctrine and prove it scripturally beyond reasonable doubt not what some clown told you to believe

The scripture has lots of reference to the Trinity.. I guess you want to find the word Trinity in the bible before you believe but you won't. If you want scriptural references then let me know

yes he's not GOD ALMIGHTY(I.E YAHWEH) but
Jesus is lord God FYI
The bible said in John1:1 that the word was God and the bible said and i quote "that everything was made through him and for him"
Also in matthew he was called IMMANUEL(which means God is with us)

The thing is, God is hidden unto a unredeemed mortal because he is seperated from God because of Sin. When a man align Himself with God and opens his heart to Hear and understand His Word, Him God reveal himself to.

They of the kingdom of this world which are mindful of the kinhdom and things of this world cannot hear God, neither understand Him nor keep to His ways because they are hidden from him.

Remember that even a blind man will tell you the path he is going is correct until he that sees hold his hands to direct him, so also, are all whose eyes are blind towards God.

Cantonese:


Added to your explanations are the following bible verses:

1 John 5: 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

How else can we describe it?

Unfortunately in the Jehovah witness bible this bible verse was carefully circumvented to read "For there are three witness bearers,". The same has happened to some other bible verses that you will not find in the Jehovah witness bible.

I need our brother to please get the complete bible now, read through and explain it.

I honestly don't like replying to topics like these but your presentation shows you've gone a step ahead, to compare and you've noted the differences.

I'll urge you to make further research on that bible verse by checking bible translations made before the fifteenth century when that scrupulous text was introduced into that verse to support the " trinity doctrine".

This is a keyword that can help your research.
"Comma Johanneum"

Search that keyword and you'll find the truth.

We as Jehovah’s Witnesses adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced. This article summarizes our basic beliefs.
.
1. God. We worship the one true and Almighty God, the Creator 'who has a name', and whose name is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18; Revelation 4:​ 11) He is the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.​—Exodus 3:6; 32:11; John 20:17.
.
2. Bible. We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired message to humans. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:​16) We base our beliefs on all 66 of its books, which include both the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament.” Professor Jason D. BeDuhn aptly described it when he wrote that Jehovah’s Witnesses built “their system of belief and practice from the raw material of the Bible without predetermining what was to be found there.” * While we accept the entire Bible, we are not fundamentalists. We recognize that parts of the Bible are written in figurative or symbolic language and are not to be understood literally.​ —Revelation 1:1.
.
3. Jesus. We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and honor him as our Savior and as the Son of God. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 5:​31) Thus, we are Christians. (Acts 11:26) However, we have learned from the Bible that Jesus is not Almighty God and that there is no Scriptural basis for the Trinity doctrine.​—John 14:28.
.
4. The Kingdom of God. This is a real government in heaven, not a condition in the hearts of Christians. It will replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. (Daniel 2:​44; Matthew 6:​9, 10) It will take these actions soon, for Bible prophecy indicates that we are living in “ the last days.”​—2 Timothy 3:​1-5; Matthew 24:​3-​14. Jesus is the King of God’s Kingdom in heaven. He began ruling in 1914.​—Revelation 11:15.
.
5. Salvation. Deliverance from sin and death is possible through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 4:​12) To benefit from that sacrifice, people must not only exercise faith in Jesus but also change their course of life and get baptized. (Matthew 28:19, 20; John 3:​16; Acts 3:​19, 20) A person’s works prove that his faith is alive. (James 2:​24, 26) However, salvation cannot be earned​—it comes through “the undeserved kindness of God.”​—Galatians 2:​16, 21.
.
6. Heaven. Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the faithful angels reside in the spirit realm. * (Psalm 103:19-​21; Acts 7:​55) A relatively small number of people​—144,000​—will be resurrected to life in heaven to rule with Jesus in the Kingdom.​—Daniel 7:​27; 2 Timothy 2:​12; Revelation 5:​9, 10; 14:​1, 3.
.
7. Earth. God created the earth to be mankind’s eternal home. (Psalm 104:5; 115:16; Ecclesiastes 1:4) God will bless obedient people with perfect health and everlasting life in an earthly paradise. Of course, it was his original purpose while creating man.​—Psalm 37:11, 34.
.
8. Evil and suffering. These began when one of God’s angels rebelled. (John 8:​44) This angel, who after his rebellion was called “Satan” and “Devil,” persuaded the first human couple to join him, and the consequences have been disastrous for their descendants. ( Genesis 3:​1-6; Romans 5:​12) In order to settle the moral issues raised by Satan, God has 'allowed' evil and suffering, but He will not permit them to continue forever.
.
9. Death. People who die pass out of existence. (Psalm 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:​5, 10) They do not suffer in a fiery hell of torment. God will bring billions back from death by means of a resurrection. (Acts 24:15) However, those who refuse to learn God’s ways after being raised to life will be destroyed forever with no hope of a resurrection.​— Revelation 20:14, 15.
.
10. Family. We adhere to God’s original standard of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, with sexual immorality being the only valid basis for divorce. (Matthew 19:​4-9) We are convinced that the wisdom found in the Bible helps families to succeed.​—Ephesians 5:22–​6:1.
.
11. Our worship. We do not venerate the cross or any other images. (Deuteronomy 4:​15-​19; 1 John 5:​21) Key aspects of our worship include the following: Praying to God.​—Philippians 4:6. Reading and studying the Bible.​—Psalm 1:​1-3. Meditating on what we learn from the Bible.​—Psalm 77:12. Meeting together to pray, study the Bible, sing, express our faith, and encourage fellow Witnesses and others.​— Colossians 3:​16; Hebrews 10:23-​25. Preaching the “good news of the Kingdom.”​—Matthew 24:14. Helping those in need.​—James 2:​14-​17. Constructing and maintaining Kingdom Halls and other facilities used to further our worldwide Bible educational work.​— Psalm 127:1. Sharing in disaster relief.​—Acts 11:27-​30.
.
12. Our organization. We are organized into congregations, each of which is overseen by a body of elders. However, the elders do not form a clergy class, and they are unsalaried. (Matthew 10:8; 23:cool We do not practice tithing, and no collections are ever taken at our meetings. (2 Corinthians 9:7) All our activities are supported by anonymous donations. The Governing Body, a small group of mature Christians who serve at our world headquarters, provides direction for Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.​— Matthew 24:45.
.

Everyone is on a journey and we need to respect each other's beliefs and faith.

They are the only ministry that does practical soul winning which is a divine assignment God has giving his children on earth kudos to them. But I learnt they still don't pray when they go out for evangelism

It's gross sinful act to pray at the request of the householder!

We only pray at the right time the holy spirit ask us to do so with a stranger, if someone wants to pray, God is "OUR father" according to Jesus, meaning everyone can pray to him with their own mouth! Matthew 6:9 smiley

Jehovah Witness is advertising brand.
Churches always do that too.

Please Seek The Most High with all your heart and avoid all this Man-made doctrine Churches (Jehovah witness, pentecostal, Catholic and all of them). They all teach lies.

To the Torah(law) and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Yeshayah (Isaiah) 8:20
NOT CHURCH DOCTRINES

And you shall seek Me, and shall find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 29:13
NOT THROUGH PASTOR AND SO CALLED MEN OF GOD

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him. “Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”
Yoḥanan (John) 4:23‭-‬24
