crosswise

Christians are bombarded with temptations from the world to pull our eyes from the Lord. The world seeks to discredit and shame the Word of God. But the Word is for the wise, and the ways of the world are for the foolish - and Christians should know the difference. In this podcast, two stay-at-home moms, and Jesus-followers, take on pop culture trends and messages and examine them through a Biblical lens, discerning a right view from a wrong a one. We seek wisdom from the Word, not from the world.

Ep. 27 | Counterfeit Christianity Series, Part 2 | Jehovah's Witnesses

July 13, 2021 • Ciara Wieland and Jessi Bridges • Season 2

Ciara and Jessi continue their look into other religious teaching that claim to be Christian in nature but are really promoting a false gospel based on a false understanding of Jesus and the saving grace of God.

For this episode, the beliefs of the Jehovah's Witness Church are examined against the Bible. Is it possible for Jesus to be the archangel Michael? Did Jesus rise from the dead in a spiritual way, leaving his body behind? What does salvation look like according to the Jehovah's Witness and does scripture affirm that teaching? Is it really fair to call Jehovah's Witnesses a "cult"?

Check out this discussion for answers to these questions, and so many more.
