Changes

Jehovah's Witnesses believe their faith is the restoration of the early Church.  This belief is based on their attempts to align their organizational structure as closely as possible to their view of the Christian congregation of the first century.  There is no clergy-laity distinction as all, male and female members, are considered to be ordained ministers at the time of [[baptism]] (note that Witnesses do not practice [[infant baptism]]).

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is only one God, Jehovah, and that Jesus Christ is his Son rather then apart of himself. They do not believe that God is three gods in One, but rather One God that created all things, and thus reject the trinity.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is only one God, Jehovah, and that Jesus Christ is Gods Son rather then God himself. They do not believe that God is three gods in One, but rather One God that created all things, and thus reject the trinity. The support such teachings using scriptures such as (Matthew 4:10) and (Deuteronomy 6:4) where God is spoken of as the One God Alone.

 

Witnesses Reject teaching of the immortal soul, citing such scriptures as (Ezekiel 18:4) and (John 11:11) as proof that the soul can die. As such, Witnesses believe teach that a place like the modern concept of ''Hell'' cannot exist, citeing scriptures such as (Matthew 10:28) which aslo speak of the sould being ''Destroyed'' rather then tourtured forever.

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