What are Jehovah's Witnesses ten commandments?

Answer 1

As true Christians (according to JWs, but maybe not some other "Christian" denominations), we do not have a lot of rules. We follow what are mostly Biblical principles which help us in making any decision. However, there are a few absolute rules for us, such as:

• John 13:34, 35 & 15:12, 13 - Have self-sacrificing love for one another.
• Galatians 6:10 -Work good toward all, especially our spiritual family.
• Mark 12:30 - Love Jehovah our God with our whole being.
• Mark 12:31 - Love our neighbor as our self.
• Matthew 5:44 - Love our enemies.
• Romans 12:17-19 - Be peaceable with everyone as much as it is possible, and do not take revenge on others' actions.
• Matthew 28:19, 20 - Make disciples through preaching and teaching.
• 2 Timothy 4:5 & 1 Corinthians 9:16 -Declare the good news to all.
• Acts 15:28, 29 - Abstain from blood, fornication, & idolatry.
• 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 - Have no close association with one called a brother who willfully practices sin.
• Ephesians 4:25-32 - Don't lie, steal, have temper tantrums; be kind and compassionate.
• Hebrews 13:17 - Obey those whom Jehovah has appointed to take the lead.
• Romans 13:1-7 & Acts 5:29 - Obey the law of the land, unless it conflicts with God's law.
• 1 Peter 1:21 -Follow closely in Jesus' footsteps.

Answer 2

If you mean something different to the ten given to Moses I don't think there is such a thing.

JESUS was asked a similar question:

(Matthew 22:34-40) "34 After the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together in one group. 35 And one of them, versed in the Law, tested him by asking: 36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 He said to him: "'You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.' 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this: 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.""

The 2 principles embodied all the 10 laws of Moses into 2 that would cover the any situation: ' Love of Jehovah God & Love of neighbor'

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses

Definition: The worldwide Christian society of people who actively bear witness regarding Jehovah God and his purposes affecting mankind. They base their beliefs solely on The Bible.

What beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses set them apart as different from other religions?

(1) Bible: Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all their beliefs.

(2) God: They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind. Anyone who publicly witnesses about Jehovah is usually identified as belonging to the one group-"Jehovah's Witnesses."

(3) Jesus Christ: They believe, not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God, the first of God's creations; that he had a prehuman existence and that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin, Mary; that his perfect human life laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith; that Christ is actively ruling as King, with God-given authority over all the earth since 1914.

(4) God's Kingdom: They believe that God's Kingdom is the only hope for mankind; that it is a real government; that it will soon, within the lifetime of the generation that saw the generation that saw 1914, destroy the present wicked system of things, including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail. Only Jehovah's Witnesses have any hope of surviving this coming destruction. (Watchtower 1st Sept 89)

(5) Heavenly life: They believe that 144,000 spirit-anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, ruling as kings with him. They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is "good." A remnant of this 144,000 are still on earth today.

(6) The earth: They believe that God's original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled; that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and that these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection; that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.

(7) Death: They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing; that they are experiencing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm; that they do not exist except in God's memory, so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead. When a member of the remnant of the 144,000 dies that one is resurrected immediately as a spirit.

(8) Last days: They believe that we are living now, since 1914, in the last days of this wicked system of things; that some of the generation who saw the generation who saw the events of 1914 will also see the complete destruction of the present wicked world; that lovers of righteousness will survive into a cleansed earth.

(9) Separate from the world: They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world, as Jesus said would be true of his followers. They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation. They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world's avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.

(10) Apply Bible counsel: They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God's Word in everyday life now-at home, in school, in business, in their congregation. Regardless of a person's past way of life, he may become one of Jehovah's Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God's Word and applies its godly counsel. But if anyone thereafter makes a practice of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, drug abuse, drunkenness, lying, or stealing, he will be disfellowshipped from the organization.

Answer 7

Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian Congregation that are known for their door to door preaching activity and for their public declaration of Jehovah God.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Almighty God is the Grand Creator and that his name is Jehovah (english rendering).

(Psalm 83:18) May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Jehovah's Witnesses accept Jesus Christ as the only-begotten son of God who came to the earth to redeem mankind. They believe they should be imitators of Jesus Christ and follow his teachings as outlined in the Bible.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible is inspired of God and that you should study the Bible every day and apply it's teachings into their lives.

Jehovah's Witnesses obey the commission Jesus gave to preach the good news.

(Matthew 28:19, 20) Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things."
