![]() ![]() 1914 is supposed to be the year that started it all according to Jehovah’s Witnesses.ġ. Probably, the most notable among them is that a date was given. Jehovah’s witnesses have a different view of the apocalypse and how it will work out. They just believe that it will and some Christians even believe that it may be happening but no exact date or event has been given as the start of the end of time. Yet, they do not know when it will happen. Christ and the Archangel Michael are thought to be one and the same in the belief of Jehovah’s witnesses.Ĭhristians believe in the apocalypse as declared in the book of revelation. Yet, JW strongly affirm that Jesus is not God and, though divine, is not equal and always below God. Similarities in both will end in the belief that Jesus is the son of God and also divine. The very apparent disagreement between Jehovah’s witnesses and Christians is their view of Jesus Christ. For Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Trinity is a satanic dogma of apostate Christianity that prevents people from knowing the true God, Jehovah. The view of Christians about this Trinitarian God is condemned by Jehovah’s witnesses. Jehovah’s witnesses asserts that they are Christians however, mainstream Christians consider Jehovah’s witnesses as heretics for the latter believes that Jesus Christ and God is not one and the same, a very stark contrast from Christianity’s view of a Trinitarian God ‘” three separate beings as one God.įor Jehovah’s witnesses, there is only one God, and that’s Jehovah whereas Christians believe in the Holy Trinity of God’s presence ‘“ God as the father, as the son (Jesus Christ), and God as the Holy Spirit. However, Jehovah’s witnesses believe in their different version of Christ which brought a lot scrutiny among Christ-centered religions. The Father will eternally recognize us as such.Christianity, by definition, is a belief system that reflects the teachings of Jesus Christ which technically qualify Jehovah’s witnesses as Christians since they do follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. The key element of salvation is that Jesus dwelling in a union with our human spirit makes us not “between Jesus and John Wayne” but rather we ARE Jesus/John Wayne – a living union with the divine nature of God (2 Peter 1:4). And we have that same independent streak in our soul that Jesus will gradually, on a day to day basis, eliminate. So, in this respect, a Christian really is between the Jesus in his spirit and the John Wayne in his soul.īut what the song doesn’t bring out is that WHEN THE FATHER LOOKS AT US, HE SEES US AS JESUS! The John Wayne soul part is being continually brought into recognition of the union with Jesus in our spirit. The same basic independent ideas and garbage of the world are still there and have to be gradually, on a day to day basis, changed to the ideas and ideals of Christ within us. And He will never leave us or forsake us.īut the soul remains the same the day after salvation as it was before. When we receive salvation by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, Jesus comes to actually live right within our human spirit. The soul part is the intellect, emotions and the will located in the physical brain. The spirit part of me is the “image of God” mentioned in Genesis One. I like to say that I AM a spirit, I HAVE a soul, and I LIVE IN a body. Human beings are made up of three parts: spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). #Song somewhere between jesus and john wayne how to#They taught me to stand up and fight for what is rightĪnd showed me how to turn the other cheekĪnd maybe that’s the best that I can ever hope to beĪs a Christian, we have got to understand HOW we are between Jesus and John Wayne.
