Conclusion

From the Watchtower's own literature which you have seen on this website, they claim: to be prophets of Jehovah; that Jehovah touched their lips and put His words in their mouths; that they are under angelic direction; that only Jehovah and Jesus are to receive credit for what is written in Watchtower literature; that Jehovah uses the Watchtower to communicate to His people (Jehovah's Witnesses) on earth and that Jehovah's Witnesses must accept everything that the Watchtower literature says and not question it. For over 100 years none of their end-time prophesies have come true which according to the Bible (Deuteronomy 18:18-20) makes them a False Prophet.  

The Watchtower says that salvation is basically a 7 Step approach.  We believe the very simple message of the Bible.  When asked by the jailer "What must I do to be saved", Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved."  The Bible says in Romans 10:9,10 "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead YOU WILL BE SAVED."  Since God Jehovah LOVED THE WORLD SO MUCH that He gave his only begotten Son so that whomsoever believed in Him might not perish but have everlasting life, don't you think that God would make it simple for a person to be saved? Yes, a person will study God's word to get to know Him and grow in their knowledge of Him so they can grow that personal relationship with Him; a person would want to associate with people who are like-faith believers and tell others about the good news.  And yes, when a person is ready, they will desire to be baptized by following what Jesus did to John.  However, the thief on the cross or stake whatever it was, didn't have time to "Do the 7 Step Watchtower Approach" to salvation.  He simply said to Jesus, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom" and Jesus said, "Today you will be with me in paradise."

​

Think about the love that it took for God the Father to send His Only Begotten Son to take on our sins, the sins of the world.  That love would also make it not necessary to follow a bunch of rules and regulation to hopefully pass an "integrity test" at the end of Jesus's 1,000 year millennial  reign.

Matthew 24:14 says "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."  It does not say that the gospel is ABOUT the Kingdom.  The apostle Paul wrote:  ! Corinthians 1:17,18, 23: "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God".  ...But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; Jesus also said, You won't be able to see or enter the Kingdom unless you are Born Again. 

​

Yes as Mathew 24;14 says, the Good News of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the inhabited world... AND THEN THE END WILL COME. And Mathew 6:9, 10 says our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, YOUR KINGDOM COME.  A person won't have to worry about SEEING OR ENTERING the Kingdom UNLESS they believe what Jesus said that One Must Br BORN AGAIN.  We must come to know the King, we must acknowledge Him as Lord and confess that God raised Jesus from the dead.

The Watchtower says that "Those who desire life in the New Order must come into a right relationship with the organization. Watchtower 11/15, /1981, pp. 16,17 and Only a limited number are born again. The great crowd does not need to be born again. Their life is earthly, not heavenly. Watchtower 4/1/1988, p. 18.  That's not what Paul said was the gospel message.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 12:3 that no one...no one...no one can say that 'Jesus is Lord', except by Holy Spirit.  The Watchtower says in their book, Reasoning from the Scriptures, ed. 1985 p 218, "Reasonably then, the archangel Michael is Jesus Christ.  The Watchtower teaches that Michael the archangel was the first creation of Jehovah God the Father and that all "other" things were then created by Michael.  “Marvelously, Jehovah transferred the life-force (spirit?) and the personality pattern of his firstborn heavenly Son (Michael) to the womb of Mary.” (Reasoning from the Scriptures, ed. 1985, p. 255)  So, Mary's egg plus Michael the archangel's "life force" ultimately join and then at birth, they name the baby Jesus.  Try keeping that simple.  The Bible says at Luke 1:35, The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.  When Jesus died, His body disappeared, evaporated, turned into gas (some of those are my words) and His spirit went back to heaven to resume His position as Michael the archangel.

The Watchtower to prove their position that Jesus was the 1st creation of Jehovah the Father, use this scripture as one of their proof texts.  Revelation 3 : 14 where it says: "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God " The word “beginning” (Greek: archē) While “archē” can  suggest a beginning or origin, it can also carry the connotation of pre-eminence, sovereignty, or source.  It has been said that the word "arche" is where we get our word '''architect" from. The central focus in the Bible is Jesus, from Genesis to Revelation.

At Genesis 1, the 4th word in the Bible is, "In the beginning GOD...  that original word is "Elohim", the word "El" means (“El is Yahweh”) GOD, the word "Elohim" is plural. In Hebrew script, the word is spelled אֱלֹהִים (ʾĕlōhîm). It is a plural form of the more general term for deity “El” (אֵל), yet when referring to the one true God in Scripture, it is normally used with singular grammatical forms.  Just as Cherub is one and Cherubim means more than one.  Just as Seraph is one and Seraphim is more than one.  The Bible says in Isaiah 45:5,6:  "Besides me there is NO GOD."  There is only One God, there are no other real, true or living gods.  in Deuteronomy 6: 4 it says, "Hear oh Israel our LORD, the LORD is one."  True Christians believe in only One God. In the following verse of Genesis 1: 26, 27, God says "Let US MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE, after OUR LIKENESS...So GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE..."  Evidently God is talking to someone whose Image and Likeness are the same as His.  "After OUR LIKENESS...after OUR IMAGE.  Colossians 1:15, Christ, the image of the Invisible God.

​

Yet, in John 1: 3 it says that the Word, Jesus, " Through him all things were made, without him NOTHING WAS MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE."  John 1:1,2 says that "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God (Genesis 1:1, 26, 27) and the Word WAS GOD.  In this scripture, the Watchtower has inserted the letter "a".  It reads in their Bible, "and the word was a god.  In the actual Greek which can be seen in the own Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures ed. 1969, pg. 417, the Greek text by Westcott and Hort ed. 1948, is on one side of the page and the translation to English on the other side, the Greek text reads "and god was the word."
