Do Jehovah's Witnesses deny God's Word or do they deny the Trinitarian interpretation of God's Word?

Question

Do Jehovah's Witnesses deny God's Word or do they deny the Trinitarian interpretation of God's Word?

Answer 1

Let's see: God's Word



(John 3:16) “16 “For God 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.”



(John 14:28) “28 You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.”



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



What does Paul say about God and Jesus?



(Romans 15:5, 6) “5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant you to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that unitedly you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”



Peter:



(1 Peter 1:3) “3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”



John:



(Revelation 1:1, 6) “1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent his angel and presented it in signs through him to his slave John,” 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—



The heavenly glorified Jesus:



(Revelation 3:2) “2 Become watchful, and strengthen the things remaining that were ready to die, for I have not found your works fully performed before my God.”



What does Paul say about Trinitarians:



(Romans 1:22, 23) “22 Although claiming they were wise, they became foolish 23 and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man. . .”



So in answer Jehovah's Witnesses accept all of God's word and reject the false teachings of trinitarians.

Answer 2

You will notice as you read teem’s ‘best answer’ (Awarded of course by another JW).

That the scriptures which he uses all refer to God as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. These are exactly the same scriptures used by the Heretical sect the ‘Arians’ in the 3rd century.

They are an attempt to show that somehow the son had a beginning and therefore cannot be God. The JWs like the ‘Arians’ totally ignore the fact that like begets like. Fish beget fish, monkeys beget monkeys and God begets Gods. They can show nowhere in the Bible that states that Jesus was created, but rather begotten which is something entirely different.

However, we can look at that some other time, what I want to address here is the fact that rather than God being the ‘Father’ of the son somehow disproving the deity & Eternal existence of the son, the term is actually one of its strongest proofs.

A definition of ‘Immutability’ reads “Unchanging over time or unable to be changed”. The Bible clearly states many times that God is Immutable, cf (Psalm 102:25-27) (Malachi 3:6) (James 1:17) (Hebrews 6:17) (Romans 11:29).

These scriptures show that God is unchanging over time and unable to be changed. He is the same as He always has been and will remain the same.

His immutability shows that, not only does He never change, but He never has changed.

In the verses teem uses, (Taken out of context with the rest of the Bible as is the usual JW ploy) God is referred to as ‘the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ the son of God.’ If God is unchanging and has never changed, then He has always been the Father of the ‘son of God’ otherwise he would have changed, which, the Bible says is impossible.

Once more so the JWs understand.

God is clearly shown to be unchanging.

God is referred to as the Father of the son of God.

Therefore, God has always been the Father of the son of God, or there would have been a time when he wasn’t the father of the son of God, which would mean that He changed.

This clearly proves the eternal generation of the son of God, which is what the Apostles, and therefore the true church of Jesus Christ has always taught for over 2000 years, and not some false doctrine re-packaged by the devil and promoted through the occultist (Russell) in the 1870s.

Also consider: (Hebrews 13:8) “Jesus Christ, THE SAME yesterday, today and FOREVER”.

Answer 3

hi there



jws deny god's word under the guise of denying a "trinitarian interpretation".



because when i first went thru the bible, i had no "trinitarian interpretation" i just believed what it said.



yet jws immediately began to deny the plain meanings of god's word and quoting trinity doctrines at me.



all bizarre behavior to me.





but to prove it, just quote john 20:28 exactly as it is written, without adding any interpretation, and watch them deny it.

case closed.

Answer 4

They have changed the Bible to fit their own peculiar theology.

Answer 6

Jehovah's Witnesses don't deny God's word at all they preach it more than any other religion on the face of the Earth. God doesn't teach the trinitarian interpretation! Let's start off day one and God created Man In His Image male and female did he create them.





Okay so right off the bat we know that God has a male and a female in his family.



Since the father is called Yahweh.

And his son which is his favorite son is called Jesus. Is a male also. The Holy Spirit must be the equivalent of the mother. But no matter how you look at it you have three separate and distinct things not a three-headed dog like that guards the gates of hell. Not Brahma shiwa and Vishnu of the Hindus.



But what we have is a father a mother and children. This is further confirmed in Romans.

just look at my creation and you can understand the godhead! Again a male a female and a offspring.

I'm sorry but only a stupid person can fail to understand this simple divine order family.

Answer 7

Both. They deny the Holy Trinity outright, but they also deny God's Word, have altered it to accommodate their own replacement doctrines. In 1 John 2:18-23, the Apostle calls such doctrines the doctrine of antichrist.

Answer 8

They have twisted God's Word

Answer 9

They deny the Trinitarian interpretation.

Answer 10

The Trinitarian interpretation. Jehovah's Witnesses fully believe in the Bible and Jesus Christ.

Answer 11

I'm NOT JW, however when they're right, they're right most churches have a mixture of truth and error: JW are no different in that respect. The trinity was added to their form of Christianity by RC theologians over 300 years AD Christ.Its a NON Christian pagan myth, morphed into their church by RC theologians and borrowed by most Protestants.

Answer 12

The bible teaches that Jesus Christ is called "The Word of God" (Rev 19:13) which is a cross reference to (John 1:1) "The Word was God"



All true christians are told to:



(Col 3:16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you.



Isn't this proof that the written word of God (2Tim 3:16 & Heb 4:12) and the word of Christ/ Word of God are the same?



If you deny Jesus Christ is the Word God then you denying the word of God.

Answer 13

They deny the Trinitarian interpretation of God's Word?



Trinitarians deny God's Word. They are just like the unfaithful Jews.

God said to them: Woe to the sinful nation, the people heavy with error, an evildoing seed, ruinous sons! They have left Jehovah, they have treated the Holy One of Israel with disrespect, they have turned backwards. (Isaiah 1:4)

God’s Son said of religious leaders of his generation: “It is in vain that they keep worshiping God, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.” Likewise today, a large number of religions exist that “teach commands of men as doctrines.”​—Mark 7:7.

Answer 14

Non-Catholics are doomed to suffer the pains and torments of everlasting Hell for all eternity. Thank you Jesus!

Salus extra ecclesiam non est" ("there is no salvation out of the Church") comes from Letter LXXII of Cyprian of Carthage (d. 258).

Answer 15

They deny the deity of Christ their Savior and the existence of hell - which technically removes their need to even follow Jesus but yeah it seems to make sense to them
