How do Jehovah's Witness view about Jesus Christ?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Jesus Christ. As The Bible says, they believe that he is God's son and that he gave his life for us. As 1 Peter 2:21 says, they try and follow his foot steps and copy his example. That is why they preach from door-to-door, because Jesus said that 'this good news will be preached in all the inhabited earth.'

However, although they follow Jesus, they do not venerate him or pray to him, because as the Bible says, that kind of adoration belongs only to Jehovah God himself. (Deu. 20:5)

Answer 2

We certainly do consider Jesus Christ as 'divine'.

We must remember that some words in the Bible (Hebrew or Greek) are blown way out of proportion to what they really mean.

The word 'god' for example; simply means: 'mighty one'. Therefore even in the Bible the word 'god' is applied to angels, and even humans. Even Satan is called 'god'. So just because the word 'god' is used, is really not a big deal.

Likewise with the word 'divine'. It simply has the meaning of being 'god-LIKE'. Just as God is a 'mighty one' - - God is also of 'divine nature', --or-'heavenly-nature'. God is a spirit. God is not made of the physical things which God later created from himself.

The Bible clearly shows that there are DIFFERENT 'KINDS' of life; or different 'FORMS' of life. There is the 'spirit / heavenly' life-form. Then there are various KINDS of 'physical' life - forms.

When God started creating; the first KIND-of-life he created, was life - like himself. He was a god, he was divine, he was a spirit. He created 'ANGEL' - KIND. All angels that are obedient to God are of a 'divine nature'. They are all divine. The Bible calls angels 'gods'.

So certainly, Christ Jesus is 'divine'. He is of 'divine nature'; he is 'god-LIKE'.

But this does not mean that Jesus is 'God the Father'. He is simply the 'Son of God'.

Being "divine," or of "divine nature," does not make Jesus as the Son of God coequal and coeternal with the Father, - - any more than the fact that all humans share "humanity" or "human nature" makes them coequal or all the same age.

In brief, this is what Jehovah's Witnesses believe.

The Trinity on the other hand, is not of Bible origin. The Jewish people, and the early Christians did not believe in the Trinity concept. A little research regarding the origins of the Trinity would confirm this.

Answer 3

Jesus Christ is the son of God who came to earth from heaven to give his life for us as a ransom so we could have everlasting life.
