Isn\u2019t it wonderful to live in a world full of diverse people? Sometimes, we might get curious about our neighbors, like the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses. Maybe you\u2019ve seen them sharing their faith with a smile, or perhaps you\u2019ve simply wondered, deep down, what they believe, especially about God. It\u2019s a beautiful thing to want to understand others, approaching it with a heart full of kindness and a desire to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article is here to shine a light on some common questions Christian readers often have about Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses and their view of God. We\u2019ll explore their perspective together, in a way that\u2019s clear, respectful, and easy to grasp, mainly using information they themselves share.\u00b9 Think of it as getting to know your neighbors a little better, understanding what truly matters to them. We\u2019ll look at ten key questions, hoping to illuminate their faith. Our aim isn\u2019t to find fault or start a debate simply to understand with compassion. After all, seeking to understand is a powerful way to show the love and respect we\u2019re all called to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses Believe in God?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh yes, absolutely! Believing in God isn\u2019t just <em>algo<\/em> they do; it\u2019s the very heartbeat of their faith!2 You\u2019ll find that Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses have a deep, abiding devotion to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is God for Them?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>They believe in one single, true God, the Almighty Creator who brought this incredible universe into existence \u2014 everything we see, from the stars above to the earth beneath our feet.\u00b3 They recognize Him as the very same God spoken of throughout the Bible, the God of faithful ones like Abraham, Moses, and even Jesus himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do They Form Their Beliefs About God?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A foundational principle for Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses is that their beliefs must spring directly from the Bible.\u00b2 They hold the entire Bible as God\u2019s inspired Word, the ultimate guide for everything they believe and how they live.\u0081 They make it clear that they don\u2019t follow creeds built on human traditions, choosing instead to stick closely to what they understand the Bible teaches.\u00b2 This strong focus on the Bible as the only source of truth is central for them. It shapes their view that perhaps other religious paths might have, over time, mixed in ideas not explicitly found in scripture. They see their approach as getting back to a simpler, purely Bible-based faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">adoraci\u00f3n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Their worship is directed solely and exclusively toward this one true God.\u00b2 And they believe this God has shared His own personal name, a name they feel is incredibly important to use when they worship Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Do Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses Believe God Is? (One God or Trinity?)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>here\u2019s something important to understand, a place where their path looks a little different from many of our familiar Christian traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One God, Not a Trinity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses hold firmly to the belief that God is one single, individual Being. They clearly and strongly do not accept the doctrine of the Trinity \u2014 the teaching that God is three co-equal, co-eternal Persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) all existing within one Godhead.\u0081\u00b9 For them, God is one entity, the Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do They Reject the Trinity?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Their reasons for not accepting the Trinity come mainly from how they understand the Bible and history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Not Found in the Bible:<\/strong> They point out that the actual word \u201cTrinity\u201d doesn\u2019t appear anywhere in the Bible\u2019s pages.\u0081\u00b9 They also believe the <em>idea<\/em> as it\u2019s traditionally taught isn\u2019t found in the scriptures either.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seen as Unscriptural and Confusing:<\/strong> They feel the doctrine goes against clear Bible statements that seem to show a difference in position, like when Jesus said, \u201cThe Father is greater than I am\u201d (John 14:28).\u0081\u00b7 They also note how Jesus made a distinction between himself and his Father, calling the Father \u201cthe only true God\u201d (John 17:3).\u0081\u00b9 They find the doctrine confusing, sometimes described even by theologians as a \u201cmystery\u201d beyond our understanding, which they feel contrasts with the idea that God\u2019s truth should be clear.\u00b9\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Viewed as a Later Development:<\/strong> They believe the Trinity wasn\u2019t taught by Jesus or his apostles but grew gradually over centuries after the Bible was finished, influenced by ideas outside the Bible and made official at church meetings like the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) and Constantinople (381 AD).\u00b9\u00b2 They observe that even the Council of Nicaea didn\u2019t fully define the Trinity as it\u2019s often understood today, especially concerning the Holy Spirit.\u00b9\u0081<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God\u2019s Identity for Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in their understanding, the one true God is a single Person: the Father. And they believe this God has a very special, personal name: Jehovah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>this rejection of the Trinity isn\u2019t just a small detail for Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses; it\u2019s truly foundational. It shapes how they see God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Because they start with the belief that God is absolutely one Person, their understanding of Jesus and the Holy Spirit must fit into that view, leading them to conclusions different from those held by Christians who believe in the Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do They Call God \u201cJehovah\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the name \u201cJehovah\u201d is something many people notice about Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, and it carries a very deep meaning for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God\u2019s Personal Name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They believe \u201cJehovah\u201d isn\u2019t just a title the unique, personal name of the one true God, revealed right there in the Bible.\u0081 They see it as the name God chose for Himself.\u00b9\u0081\u00b9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biblical Basis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Their strong feeling about this comes from the Hebrew Scriptures (what many call the Old Testament). They highlight that in the original Hebrew writings, God\u2019s name \u2014 represented by four Hebrew letters, YHWH or JHVH (often called the Tetragrammaton) \u2014 appears almost 7,000 times!7 They point to verses like Psalm 83:18, which says: \u0153May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth\u009d.\u0081 They believe this name was well-known and used by faithful people long ago.\u00b9\u0081\u00b9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the Emphasis?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using and sharing the name \u201cJehovah\u201d is so important to their faith for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Essential for True Worship:<\/strong> They feel that knowing and using God\u2019s personal name is key to worshipping Him in the right way and building a close, personal connection with Him.\u0081\u00b7 It sets the true God apart from all others.\u0081\u00b7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Following Jesus\u2019 Example:<\/strong> They emphasize that Jesus put his Father\u2019s name first. He taught his followers to pray, \u201cLet your name be sanctified\u201d (or \u201challowed be thy name\u201d) (Matthew 6:9), and he prayed, \u201cFather, glorify your name\u201d (John 12:28).\u0081\u00b7 Jesus also said he had \u201cmade the Father\u2019s name known\u201d to his disciples (John 17:26).\u00b2\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connection to Salvation:<\/strong> They believe that calling on God\u2019s name is connected to being saved, pointing to scriptures like Joel 2:32 (which the apostle Paul quoted in Romans 10:13): \u201cEveryone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved\u201d.\u00b9\u0081\u00b9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restoring the Name:<\/strong> They believe that over time, perhaps due to superstition or tradition, God\u2019s personal name was mostly taken out of Bible translations and replaced with titles like \u201cLord\u201d or \u201cGod\u201d.\u00b9\u0081 They see their use of \u201cJehovah\u201d and its inclusion in their <em>Traducci\u00f3n del Nuevo Mundo<\/em> as putting the name back where it belongs.\u00b2\u0081 This act of restoration is tied to their belief that they are bringing back original Christianity, feeling that other groups who mainly use titles are missing something vital in truly knowing and worshipping God.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Meaning of the Name<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses often understand the name \u201cJehovah\u201d to come from a Hebrew verb that means \u201cto become.\u201d They interpret it as \u201cHe Causes to Become,\u201d highlighting God\u2019s amazing ability to become whatever is needed to fulfill His promises and purposes.\u00b9\u0081\u00b9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their Identity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very name they chose, \u201cJehovah\u2019s Witnesses,\u201d officially adopted back in 1931, reflects this core belief and their mission.\u00b9\u0081 They base this name on Isaiah 43:10-12, where God calls his people his \u201cwitnesses\u201d.\u00b9\u0081 They feel their name clearly tells the world who they are and what they feel called to do: to share the truth about Jehovah God.\u00b2 The <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/jehovahs-witnesses-origins\/\">or\u00edgenes de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1<\/a> are rooted in the Bible Student movement in the late 19th century, which aimed to study and disseminate biblical teachings. Over the years, they have developed a distinct belief system that emphasizes door-to-door evangelism and community engagement. This commitment to their mission has allowed them to grow and spread their message across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses Believe Jesus Is God?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another area where it\u2019s helpful to understand their specific view clearly, as it\u2019s different from the traditional Trinitarian understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jesus is the Son of God, Not Almighty God<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses absolutely believe in Jesus Christ! They hold him in the highest esteem as the Son of God, the promised Messiah (or Christ), and the Savior who came to rescue humankind. They strongly identify as Christians because their goal is to closely follow Jesus\u2019 teachings and the example he set.\u00b3 In addition to their deep respect for Jesus, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses believe that he is distinct from God the Father, Jehovah, and that he serves as a mediator between God and humanity. <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/jehovahs-witnesses-jesus-beliefs\/\">Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses beliefs about Jesus<\/a> emphasize his role in God\u2019s purpose, including his resurrection and future return to establish God\u2019s Kingdom on Earth. Their teachings encourage adherents to emulate Jesus in their daily lives, promoting love, compassion, and a commitment to their faith. <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/baptism-jehovahs-witnesses\/\">Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses baptism process<\/a> is an important step for individuals who wish to publicly demonstrate their faith and commitment to following Jesus Christ. This process typically involves a thorough Bible study and a demonstration of understanding Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses beliefs, culminating in the baptismal ceremony that signifies one\u2019s dedication to God and the teachings of Jesus. By participating in baptism, new members embrace their role in God\u2019s purpose and actively contribute to the community of believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rejection of Jesus Being Almighty God<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But they make a very clear distinction: they do not believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself. They believe he is separate from God the Father (Jehovah) and holds a position under Him.\u0081\u00b9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why This View? Scriptural Arguments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their understanding comes from how they interpret several key scriptures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Jesus\u2019 Own Words:<\/strong> They give great importance to Jesus\u2019 statement in John 14:28: \u201cThe Father is greater than I am\u201d.\u0081\u00b7 They see this as a straightforward declaration that the Father and Son are not equal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jesus Prayed to God:<\/strong> They observe that Jesus often prayed to God. They believe this shows a relationship between two distinct individuals \u2014 one praying, the other hearing \u2014 rather than two persons within one God.\u00b2\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Titles Used:<\/strong> They point out that the Bible consistently calls Jesus the \u201cSon of God,\u201d not \u201cGod the Son\u201d or Almighty God directly.\u0081\u00b9 They refer to John 20:31, which says the Gospel was written so people might believe \u201cJesus is the Christ, the Son of God.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distinction in Knowledge:<\/strong> They cite Matthew 24:36 (and Mark 13:32), where Jesus says only the Father knows the day and hour of the end, not even the Son. They reason that if Jesus were equal to Almighty God, he would share the same knowledge.\u0081\u00b9<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implications for Worship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they believe Jesus is the Son of God but not Almighty God, the way they worship reflects this understanding. They worship only Jehovah God.\u00b2 They offer their prayers through Jesus Christ, recognizing his vital role as the one who connects us to God and saves us they do not direct worship to Jesus.\u00b9\u00b3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>this view of Jesus flows directly from their belief that God is not a Trinity. If God is understood as only one Person (the Father), then in their thinking, Jesus, the Son, cannot be that same Person or be equal to Him. This leads them to interpret scriptures about Jesus\u2019 identity and his relationship with the Father in a way that highlights his distinctness and his position under the Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Jesus\u2019 Relationship to God According to Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they don\u2019t see Jesus as Almighty God, how do Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses understand his incredibly special place and connection to the Father? Their beliefs describe Jesus as being highly honored, yet distinct from God and created by Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God\u2019s First and Most Precious Son<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus holds the most honored position right next to Jehovah God. He is God\u2019s dearly loved and most precious Son.\u00b9 He\u2019s called \u201cthe firstborn of all creation\u201d (Colossians 1:15). Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses understand this quite literally: Jesus was God\u2019s very first act of creation, brought into existence before anything else.\u0081\u00b7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uniquely Created by God<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s also called the \u201conly-begotten Son\u201d (John 3:16). They interpret this to mean Jesus is unique because he\u2019s the only one created directly by Jehovah God alone.\u0081 Everything else came into being through Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God\u2019s Agent in Creation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After creating Jesus, Jehovah worked through him as His master craftsman or agent to create everything else \u2014 all the angels in heaven and everything here on earth.\u00b9 They understand Colossians 1:16 this way (though their translation adds the word \u201cother\u201d \u2014 \u201cby means of him all other things were created\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pre-human Existence as a Spirit Creature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before he was born as a baby on earth, Jesus lived for an incredibly long time \u2014 perhaps billions of years \u2014 in heaven as a mighty spirit being.\u0081\u00b7 Some Jehovah\u2019s Witness materials, and others who study them, identify this pre-human Jesus with the Archangel Michael, the leader of the angels.\u00b2\u0081<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miraculous Human Birth (Incarnation)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>His journey from spirit life to human life was a miracle performed by Jehovah. God transferred the life-force of His firstborn Son from heaven into the womb of a young Jewish woman named Mary, who was a virgin. No human father was involved, so Jesus was born as a perfect human, without sin.\u00b9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cThe Word\u201d of God<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The title \u201cthe Word\u201d (in Greek, Logos), found in John 1:1, 14, is understood to mean Jesus was God\u2019s main spokesperson and communicator. He delivered God\u2019s messages and instructions to others, both angels and humans.\u00b9 Regarding John 1:1 (\u201cthe Word was with God, and the Word was God\u201d), they interpret the last part to mean the Word was \u201ca god\u201d or \u201cdivine\u201d in his nature, having godlike qualities because of his origin and high position not being the Almighty God Himself.\u0081\u00b9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Equal a Perfect Reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crucially, they believe that because Jesus was created, he had a beginning. Jehovah God is eternal, with no beginning and no end.\u00b9 Therefore, Jesus cannot be equal to God. They believe Jesus himself acknowledged this, saying the Father was greater (John 14:28).\u0081\u00b7 Yet, he perfectly mirrors his Father\u2019s personality and qualities, which is why the Bible calls him \u201cthe image of the invisible God\u201d (Colossians 1:15).\u00b9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His Exalted Role<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though they don\u2019t see him as Almighty God, Jesus holds many incredibly important roles: he is the Messiah, the Savior whose death paid the price for our sins, the High Priest, the only one through whom we can approach God, and the chosen King of God\u2019s heavenly Kingdom, who they believe began ruling in 1914 based on their understanding of prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This detailed picture of Jesus\u2019 origin, nature, and role is a cornerstone of their faith. It shows their careful effort to bring together all the different things the Bible says about Jesus \u2014 recognizing his supreme importance and divine connection while holding fast to their core belief in the absolute oneness and supremacy of Jehovah God, all understood outside the framework of the Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses Believe About the Holy Spirit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out their understanding of God, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses have a specific view of the Holy Spirit that fits with their rejection of the Trinity. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/main-beliefs-jehovahs-witnesses-mormons\/\">creencias de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1 explicadas<\/a>, the Holy Spirit is seen as God\u2019s active force rather than a distinct person. This understanding underscores their emphasis on the oneness of God, as they believe the Holy Spirit is utilized by Jehovah to accomplish His purposes. Consequently, their teachings highlight a direct relationship between Jehovah and His followers, emphasizing personal devotion and study of scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not a Person God\u2019s Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They do not believe the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with the Father and the Son. Instead, they teach that the Holy Spirit is God\u2019s active force \u2014 His invisible, dynamic energy or power that He uses to accomplish His will.\u00b3\u0081 Think of it like the wind, or electricity \u2014 incredibly powerful and able to achieve amazing things not a person.\u00b3\u0081<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biblical Interpretations Supporting This View<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Their understanding comes from how they interpret several Bible passages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Creation Account:<\/strong> They look at Genesis 1:2, which mentions \u201cGod\u2019s active force in Hebrew: <em>ruach<\/em>, also translated \u2018spirit\u2019 was moving over the surface of the waters.\u201d They see this as God\u2019s power at work creating, not a person.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Being \u201cFilled With\u201d or \u201cBaptized With\u201d Spirit:<\/strong> The Bible talks about people being \u201cfilled with holy spirit\u201d (like Elizabeth or the disciples at Pentecost \u2013 Luke 1:41; Acts 2:4) or being \u201cbaptized with holy spirit\u201d (Matthew 3:11).\u00b3\u0081 Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses reason that you can\u2019t logically be \u201cfilled with\u201d or \u201cbaptized with\u201d another person, suggesting the spirit must be an impersonal force.\u00b3\u0081 Similarly, God promised to \u201cpour out some of my spirit\u201d (Acts 2:17), which they feel doesn\u2019t fit with the spirit being an equal Person.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Association with Power:<\/strong> They notice the Bible often connects the holy spirit directly with power. Jesus told his disciples, \u201cYou will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you\u201d (Acts 1:8).\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personification, Not Personality:<\/strong> When the Bible uses personal terms for the spirit, like \u201chelper,\u201d \u201cadvocate,\u201d or \u201cteacher\u201d (John 14:16, 26; 16:13), they understand this as personification.\u00b3\u0081 This is like when we talk about wisdom \u201ccalling out\u201d or sin \u201creigning\u201d \u2014 giving human-like qualities to something that isn\u2019t a person. They believe the context shows the spirit is being described by <em>what it does<\/em> (helps, teaches) rather than <em>qui\u00e9n<\/em> it is.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Originates from God:<\/strong> The Bible says the Father gives the holy spirit to those who ask Him (Luke 11:13).\u00b3\u0081 To them, this shows the spirit is under God\u2019s control and sent by Him, not an equal member of a Godhead.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Spirit\u2019s Functions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, God uses His holy spirit in many wonderful ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To inspire the writers of the Bible.\u00b3\u0081\u00b9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To empower His servants to do His work, like preaching, enduring hardships, or carrying out special tasks (like Bezalel building the tabernacle, or Samson\u2019s incredible strength).\u00b3\u0081\u00b9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To help believers develop beautiful qualities (the \u201cfruitage of the spirit\u201d) like love, joy, and peace (Galatians 5:22-23).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To guide and direct His people and His organization.\u00b3\u0081\u00b9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the past, to enable miracles like speaking in different languages or prophecy.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To \u201canoint\u201d certain individuals, giving them a hope of going to heaven and confirming to their spirit that they are chosen.\u0081<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Defining the Holy Spirit as God\u2019s active force is a key part of their non-Trinitarian understanding. It allows them to explain all the Bible\u2019s references to God\u2019s spirit and its powerful effects without adding a third divine Person alongside the Father and the Son, thus keeping their core belief in the absolute oneness of God (Jehovah).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses Use the Same Bible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about beliefs, it\u2019s natural to wonder about the Bible translation people use. Do Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses use the same Bible as other Christians?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Regard for the Bible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First things Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses have tremendous respect for the Bible.\u00b2 They believe the entire collection of 66 books usually found in Protestant Bibles (both the Old and New Testaments, though they prefer calling them the Hebrew-Aramaic Scriptures and the Christian Greek Scriptures) is God\u2019s inspired, infallible Word, without error. It\u2019s the absolute foundation and the only authority for all their beliefs and practices.\u00b2 They emphasize that understanding the Bible requires careful study and interpretation through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/jehovahs-witnesses-vs-protestant\/\">Explicaci\u00f3n de las creencias de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1<\/a> often revolve around their unique interpretations of scriptural passages, which shape their worldview, practices, and community life. Their commitment to sharing these beliefs with others is evident in their extensive outreach efforts and educational programs. Their teachings also emphasize the importance of evangelism, which is a key aspect of their faith, as they actively seek to spread their interpretations of the Bible to others. <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/christian-readers-guide-jehovahs-witnesses\/\">Comprender las creencias de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1<\/a> is essential for engaging in thoughtful discussions about their perspectives on salvation, morality, and the end times. Through their distinctive practices and outreach, they aim to create a sense of community and belonging among their members while fostering a deeper understanding of scripture in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use of Various Translations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout their history, and even today, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses have used and still consult many different Bible translations in their personal study, at their meetings, and when sharing their faith with others.\u0081 In their early days, their publications often quoted the familiar King James Version and the American Standard Version (from 1901), which was known for using \u201cJehovah\u201d in the Old Testament.\u0081 They also used other translations like J.B. Rotherham\u2019s The New Testament Newly Translated and Critically Emphasised and the Emphatic Diaglott, an interlinear New Testament by Benjamin Wilson. Sometimes they referred to these to support specific ways of translating words, like using \u201cpresence\u201d for the Greek word parousia instead of \u201ccoming\u201d.\u0081 They even printed their own edition of the King James Version back in the 1940s.\u0081<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preference for the New World Translation (NWT)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While they might look at various versions, the translation they mainly use, print, and share is their own, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT).\u0081 They started working on this translation in the late 1940s. The New Testament part came out in 1950, and the Old Testament followed in parts between 1953 and 1960. The complete Bible in one book was published in 1961.\u00b3\u0081 It\u2019s been updated several times since then, with major revisions in 1984 and 2013.\u0081\u00b7 The committee that did the translation chose to remain anonymous, saying they wanted all the credit to go to God, the Bible\u2019s Author, not to themselves.\u0081\u00b7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Did They Produce the NWT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses give several reasons for creating their own translation 24:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Modern Language:<\/strong> They wanted a Bible in everyday, easy-to-understand language, feeling that older versions used words that could be hard for people today to grasp.\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accuracy Based on Scholarship:<\/strong> They believed that new discoveries of older, more accurate Bible manuscripts and advances in understanding the original languages allowed for a better translation of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restoration of God\u2019s Name:<\/strong> A main goal was to put God\u2019s personal name, Jehovah, back into the text wherever the original Hebrew (YHWH) appeared. They\u2019ve included \u201cJehovah\u201d almost 7,000 times in the Old Testament and also 237 times in the New Testament. They base the New Testament insertions on their research and reasoning about where they believe the name originally was or should be, even though it\u2019s not found in the existing Greek manuscripts of the New Testament.\u00b2\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faithfulness to Original:<\/strong> They aimed for a translation that stayed very close to the original text, avoiding what they felt might be liberties taken by other translators.\u00b2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distinctive Features and Criticisms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The NWT has some unique characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It uses \u201cJehovah\u201d extensively.\u00b2\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It uses \u201ctorture stake\u201d for the instrument Jesus died on, instead of \u201ccross\u201d.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It sometimes translates verbs in a way that emphasizes ongoing action.\u00b2\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It uses the terms \u201cHebrew-Aramaic Scriptures\u201d and \u201cChristian Greek Scriptures\u201d.\u00b2\u0081<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But the NWT has also received considerable criticism from many Bible scholars and other Christian groups.\u00b3\u0081 Critics often feel that certain important verses, especially those about Jesus\u2019 divinity and the Trinity, have been translated in a way that supports Jehovah\u2019s Witness beliefs rather than reflecting what they see as the most accurate meaning of the original Greek. Some frequently mentioned examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>John 1:1: Translated as \u201c\u2026and the Word was a god\u201d instead of \u201c\u2026and the Word was God\u201d.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colossians 1:16-17: The word \u201cother\u201d is added four times (like \u201cby means of him all other things were created\u201d) even though it\u2019s not in the Greek text. This supports their belief that Jesus was created.\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Matthew 26:26: Translated as \u201cThis means my body\u201d instead of \u201cThis is my body,\u201d which aligns with their view of the Memorial supper (their term for the Lord\u2019s Supper).\u00b3\u0081<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses hold the Bible as their ultimate guide, their creation and preference for the NWT\u201da translation with renderings that specifically match their unique theological views\u201dshows how important their organization\u2019s interpretation is in how they read scripture. The translation itself helps reinforce their understanding, especially on points where they differ from mainstream Christian beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Comparison: Key Beliefs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To help see some of the core differences we\u2019ve talked about at a glance, here\u2019s a simple table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Caracter\u00edstica<\/th><th>Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses Belief<\/th><th>Mainstream Christian Belief (General Orthodoxy)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dios<\/strong><\/td><td>One Person (Jehovah), rejects Trinity<\/td><td>One God in Three Persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Jesucristo<\/strong><\/td><td>God\u2019s Son, first creation, subordinate to God<\/td><td>God the Son, eternally existent, fully God<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Esp\u00edritu Santo<\/strong><\/td><td>God\u2019s active force, impersonal<\/td><td>God the Holy Spirit, distinct Person, fully God<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Biblia<\/strong><\/td><td>Inspired Word, prefer New World Translation<\/td><td>Inspired Word, various translations accepted<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Salvaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/td><td>Faith in Jesus + Obedience\/Works\/Witnessing<\/td><td>Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>M\u00e1s all\u00e1<\/strong><\/td><td>Paradise Earth for most, 144k to heaven, soul sleep<\/td><td>Heaven for believers (or Paradise), conscious afterlife<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Please remember: \u201cMainstream Christian Belief\u201d represents a general agreement within historical orthodoxy; different denominations might have variations.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Bridges of Understanding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring what Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses believe about God shows us a faith deeply connected to their understanding of the Bible. It\u2019s centered on worshipping only Jehovah and being committed to following Jesus Christ as they understand his role and teachings. While they strongly feel they are Christians, their rejection of core doctrines like the Trinity and the full divinity of Christ means most other Christian groups see them as separate from historical Christian belief. Their unique interpretation of scripture leads them to engage in door-to-door evangelism, sharing what they believe is the true message of God as revealed in the Bible. <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/are-jehovahs-witnesses-blasphemy\/\">Comprender las creencias de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1<\/a> also highlights their distinct community practices, such as observing the Memorial of Christ\u2019s death and abstaining from celebrations like Christmas and birthdays, which they see as incompatible with their faith. Through these practices, they aim to maintain a lifestyle that reflects their commitment to what they perceive as God\u2019s purpose for humanity. Their doctrines on salvation are unique, emphasizing a faith that includes both belief in Jehovah and adherence to specific moral guidelines. The <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/salvation-jehovahs-witnesses\/\">creencias de salvaci\u00f3n de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1<\/a> focus on the importance of living an ethical life and actively participating in their community\u2019s activities and teachings, viewing this as essential for gaining everlasting life. Additionally, they believe that only a limited number of people will go to heaven, while the rest will enjoy eternal life on a paradise Earth, further distinguishing their views from mainstream Christianity. <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/jehovahs-witness-beliefs-death\/\">creencias de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1 sobre la muerte<\/a> emphasize that death is not the end but a temporary state until a future resurrection. They teach that the resurrection will occur when God\u2019s Kingdom is established on Earth, providing hope for those who have died to be restored to life. This understanding underscores their view of the afterlife and the importance of living in accordance with God\u2019s standards in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding these beliefs, even when they are very different from our own, is such an important step in building bridges of respect and open communication. Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses show real sincerity and dedication in living by their interpretation of God\u2019s Word.\u00b2 Recognizing their devotion and trying to understand their perspective, instead of just focusing on where we disagree, can lead to more meaningful and kind interactions. By exploring the <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/catholic-jehovahs-witnesses\/\">Catholic view on Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses<\/a>, we can gain insight into the theological differences that shape their beliefs. This understanding allows for a richer dialogue, where questions can be asked and diverse viewpoints can be discussed respectfully. In turn, this openness fosters an environment where both sides can learn from each other while still holding true to their convictions. By actively engaging with <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/es\/learn\/jehovahs-witnesses-catholics-differences\/\">Explicaci\u00f3n de las creencias de los testigos de Jehov\u00e1<\/a>, individuals can appreciate the nuances that underpin their faith. This approach not only deepens our understanding but also cultivates an atmosphere of empathy and respect. Ultimately, recognizing the value in different perspectives enriches our community interactions and encourages peaceful coexistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As followers of Christ, we\u2019re all encouraged to love our neighbors. A beautiful part of that love is making the effort to understand them, listening with open hearts, and speaking with kindness, even when our beliefs don\u2019t align. May this exploration help foster a spirit of respectful conversation and deeper understanding in all our communities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div
