Three questions for the Jehovah;s witnesses.

[Bill_Pick]

Do they accept the deity of Christ? Do they believe in the Doctrine of Salvation by Grace? Do they believe in the existence of Hell?

JWs deny the divinity of Christ. Christ is a created being by Jehovah who is endowed with authority to act in His name. Christ will always be subservient to the Father.

JWs will say that salvation is grace but it complimented by works, in other words, agreesive preaching work by every member. James is quoted often: faith without works is dead.

JWs deny the existence of hell as commonly known. Hell is simply the grave and any hope of existence after death is by the recreation of self by Jehovah.

Hope that helps.

In addition to believing that Christ was a created creature, I understand they think he was Michael before incarnating as the Christ and returned to Heaven as Michael the Archangel. When some were at my door, I asked about that doctrine. They seemed very uncomfortable, but did not deny it.

I have read that the WTS discourages Internet usage and reading what they believe to be apostate literature, i.e. anything that goes against WTS teachings. This site would certainly fall into both categories if one believes as they do, so I wonder if we will get much of their postings.
