Are Jehovah Witnesses Christians?
Jehovah’s Witnesses identify as Christians, but their beliefs are different from other Christians in some ways.
Jesus, the Prince of Peace
The title Prince of Peace is often used to refer to Jesus Christ especially during the Christmas season. That is because of a Messianic prophecy made by the Jewish prophet Isaiah over 600 years before the birth of Christ in the city of Bethlehem in Palestine.
The Nature of God
God is usually conceived of as being omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnibenevolent as well as having an eternal and necessary existence. In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, while in deism, God is the creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe.
The Fallen Angels
The fallen angels are named after entities from both Christian and Pagan mythology, such as Moloch, Chemosh, Dagon, Belial, Beelzebub, and Satan himself. Following the canonical Christian narrative, Satan convinces other angels to live free from the laws of God, thereupon they are cast out of heaven.
Jesus’ Real Name
Jesus’ name in Hebrew was “Yeshua” which translates to English as Joshua.
