Are Jehovah's Witnesses true Christians?

JW has refused to military service. Therefore, at the time of the Second World War, they did not bear the sin of blood.

On the other hand, many Christians shed blood.

Therefore, after the war, God was blessed JW. And they increased phenomenally.

On the other hand, many churches were decline.

I said the only fact. So, what is this mean?

-

This is "the wheat" and "the tares". (Mt13:24-30, 36-43). Of course, JW is wheat. In other words, they are true Christians. The Second World War showed that difference clearly.

Can you identify this difference?

    What substantiates what a "true Christian" is? Is a true Christian one who is perfect and understands everything perfectly? Is a true Christian one who doesn't do anything other than the way of another and does do everything there own way according as they or their "group" see it? Is a true Christian one who is this or that or that or this according to this or that or that or this? Jesus Christ is a True Christian. MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE THE JUDGEMENT UP TO HIM. Besides.. if a person believes this or that or that or this; then don't you think they might believe according to that which they understand to be true. Could it be that Christ knows that and might be merciful only judging their heart and if they were truly deceived by this or that or that or this than he might apply that mercy which HE not us suffered so greatly for? What will it be like if we find out that none are perfect and perfectly true therefore there is no true Christian at all and thank God for mercy and the atonement or else we would all be without hope of being judged as a true Christian? SO.. WHY DON'T ALL OF YOU TAKE THE ADVICE OF THE ONLY TRUE CHRISTIAN THERE IS WHICH IS ME AND NOT BICKER, NOR TRY TO CAUSE EACH OTHER TO STUMBLE AND JUDGE NOT ONE ANOTHER AND BE PEACEFUL AND HUMBLE LIKE ME AND WE WILL ALL GET ALONG AND BYE AND BYE YOU WILL ALL BECOME LIKE ME... THE ONLY TRUE CHRISTIAN ON EARTH. NOT.

    No, not at all. To be a Christian one believes that Jesus is God and the 2nd person in the Trinity of the one God. We believe in His atoning sacrifice as perfect which only God could reach the perfection necessary as the Lamb of God. A Christian believes in the Gospel that Christ's atoning sacrifice earned. JW's deny all of this biblical teaching and teach Arianism instead which is the heresy promoted by the Bishop Arius and the Pagan Emperor Constantine. God bless!

    It's hard to be a "true Christian" when you reject Christ. JWs reject who Jesus is. JWs reject Jesus alone as Lord and Savior. JWs instead depend on a religious organization. That isn't Christian. It's anti-Christian.

    hi there

    what rubbish. where in the bible does it say THAT is the test of true Christian?

    southern Baptists number 16 million in the us alone, and the baptists were founded in 1914!

    here is the test from the bible. why do jws ignore this???

    2 Corinthians 13:5

    5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?

    here is the biblical difference between watchtowerites and Christians. can you identify this difference?

    the watchtower is a false prophet and Christians will not follow a false prophet. can you identify this difference?

    The definition of s Christian doesn't have anything to do with military service.

    No

    The JWs should look to the biblical example of who they truly worship.

    In the JW bible the NWT the term "Jehovah of armies" is used 263 times.

    That's a militaristic term connoting violence .

    JWs practice spiritual violence by shunning their own family who just

    change their mind about following the JW human leaders.

    I reported this question as a rant since there isn't really a question here.

    This isn't your soapbox. I know your JW "literature" (to use the term loosely) uses circular logic with the answer already in the question, but this format is different from that. You need to ask a genuine question that you don't provide the answer.

    Why we refused military service? God commanded people to love their enemies as themselves. If Jehovah's witnesses will join this service, will they apply loving in a sense?

    You are asking if we are true Christians, ..Jehovah's witnesses strictly follow God's teachings and standards. What is the main basis for true christianity? follow God's teachings and standards and live in harmony with it.

    Yeah, World War 1 and 2, Catholic killed Catholic, Baptist killed Baptist, etc, etc.

    Religious leaders prayed for victory on both sides, religious brothers killed each other.

    JW's have never killed anyone in war.

    Jehovah's Witnesses are the only Christians obeying Jesus' words to have love among themselves and be no part of the world.
