The Jehovah Witness Religion
The Jehovah Witness religious is believed to have begun in 29ac in Jerusalem (Act 1:8). Their beliefs, like the Christians and Jews, are that there is one God, whom the Jehovah Witness’ believe to be called Jehovah, who created the earth and everything on it, they believe that God gave Moses the 10 commandments at Mt. Sinai and that those are the laws that everyone should live by. They do not worship other Gods or Saints or statues, and believe that Jesus was Jehovah’s son born to the Virgin Mary. As an adult, Jesus and his disciples spread the word of God and had many followers. They also had many enemies, who eventually saw to his death. Jesus it is believed in essence allowed himself to be killed in order to save humanity. He was after all God’s son and could have returned to the heavens without having suffered his carnal death. They believe in the return of the Messiah and that when the Armageddon comes he will come down to pick up the 144,000 anointed or chosen people to rule with him in heaven. (Matthew 11:12 ) Those who chose to lead their lives according to God’s rules and are on the correct path toward God, presumably the Jehovah Witness’, will remain alive, and those who have died but lived by his rules prior to their deaths, will be resurrected, and will have everlasting life in paradise here on Earth, those who did not will all cease to exist.
