4 Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is only one God, the Father, whose name is Jehovah, and that Jesus Christ is God's First-begotten Son rather than Almighty God himself. They teach that the references to Jesus as "God" is in an indefinite sense, as in John 1:1, and that Jesus was made "God" or Divine over the circumstances, by the Father's permission and power.  They do not believe that God is three persons or gods or beings in One, but rather One God (who is the infinite Father alone) that created all things, and thus reject the doctrine of a co-equal or co-eternal trinity. They support such teachings using scriptures such as Matthew 4:10, Deuteronomy 6:4, John 14:28, Colossians 1:15, and Psalms 83:18 in their Bible translation where God the Father is spoken of as greater than the Son, and is referred to of as the One God Jehovah Alone.

5 Witnesses Reject teaching of the immortal soul, but rather teach that the soul and the whole person dies awaiting a future resurrection by Christ, citing such scriptures as (Ezekiel 18:4) and (John 11:11) as proof that the soul can die, and that death can be likened to sleep, where no activity exists. As such, Witnesses believe that a place, like the modern concept of ''Hell'', cannot exist, citing scriptures such as (Matthew 10:28) which also speak of the soul being ''Destroyed'' rather than tortured forever. For the same reasons, they also do not believe in a place called "Heaven" either.

5 Witnesses Reject teaching of the immortal soul, but rather teach that the soul and the whole person dies awaiting a future resurrection by Christ, resting in the Grave (Hades, Sheol), citing such scriptures as (Ezekiel 18:4) and (John 11:11) as proof that the soul can die, and that death can be likened to sleep, with no dreaming, and where no activity exists. As such, Witnesses believe that a place, like the modern concept of ''Hell-fire'', cannot exist, citing scriptures such as (Matthew 10:28) which also speak of the soul being ''destroyed'' (which is interpreted to be "annihilated") rather than tortured consciously forever. They believe in the existence of Heaven, but believe that only God, Christ, and the Angels, and a select few from earth (144,000) would exist in Heaven.

6 Witnesses do not celebrate secular holidays such as Christmas, Easter, or Birthdays pointing out that no such celebrations were held by God's people in the Bible. They also believe that since these celebrations have their origins in Pagan festivities that dealt with the worship of False gods, that True Christians should have no part in them.
