Do JW's believe in two God's?

Jehovah(almighty God), and Jesus(mighty God). Seems like two Gods to me. What do you think?

    Is Jesus Christ actually God?

    John 20:17, RS: “Jesus said to her Mary Magdalene, ‘Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

    So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as “my God.”

  • No, Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in two Gods.

    There's only one true God Jehovah.

    Jesus is God's Son.

    We do not believe in a mysterious three headed God like Trinitarians do either, because that concept is unbiblical & dishonours the only true God.

    Hope that helps

    Anything can be a god. The Bible refers to many things as gods. Moses, angels, satan and even Jesus.

    But there is only one Jehovah. Moses, angels, satan and even Jesus look towards Jehovah as the source of everything.

    Think for a minute. Jesus will hand over the kingdom of God to the Father so he can be everything to everybody.

    1 Corinthians 15

    Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

    If Jesus is God, or even a part of God, why this act? Why subject himself to God? Why doesn't he keep things the way they are?

    Why does this scripture tell us that God was never in subjection to the Son?

    Jehovah's Witness believe in the capital G God and a lower case g god. (To JWs, the lower case g god is Jesus). Yet, they still claim to believe in only one God--not gods.

    Edit:

    Tee is correct. Jesus is God.

    Source(s): The rapture is at hand! Be ready for it because "the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night." (1 Thessalonians 5:2)

    If you go by that standard, they, & many others, believe in 3 gods, because the Bible also calls Satan 'a' god. Actually, it calls a number of others lesser God's in a sense, including people who are just rulers. Trinitarians want to distract from this fact so that when people see Jesus being called a god, they'll think it means he's THE god, which of course he isn't.

    No they believe in only one god Jehovah. They believe that Jesus is only the son of God. They believe that Jesus is not God. They don't believe in the trinity

    They believe Jehovah is God, Jesus is the son of God, and the Governing Body is somehow magically appointed by God and Jesus to lead them. They once used some early 20th century examination doctrine to support that, which they've recently tossed out. Now it seems completely arbitrary, but whatever.

    hi there.

    yep I count 2.

    but they say it's ok as long as only 1 of them is worshipped.

    didn't they read the scripture where Rutherford stole their name from?
