1. Polytheism. They have multiple gods which they call Jehovah (A Catholic made-up name) and Michael the archangel also called Jesus- a sort of created super-power demi-god.
2. They do not expect to go to Heaven.
3. Jesus' death did not provide full atonement.
4. The Holy Spirit is neither personal nor divine.
5. Jesus did not rise bodily from the dead.
6. Unbelievers are annihilated in hell.
7. Jesus returned in 1914, but no one can see him.

Truth from the Bible:

1. God exists in a Trinity of three eternal and co-equal persons.
   1. The Father. (Romans 1:7)
   2. The Son. (John 20:28)
   3. The Holy Spirit. (Acts 5:3-4)
2. Jesus is no less than God in human flesh. (Colossians 2:9)
3. God, the Holy Spirit, is the third member of the Holy Trinity. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 13:2)
4. Jesus rose bodily from the grave. (Luke 24:39)
5. Jesus is visibly coming again to set up His kingdom on earth. (Matthew 24:30, Revelation 1:7)
6. Salvation is in the person of Jesus Christ and comes through faith in Him. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
7. It is the work of God for man, not a work of man for God that saves. (Titus 3:4-6)
8. Jesus was and should be worshiped. (John 20:26-28)

[Also note how JW's ignore--out of fear of their "Popes"--all the questions they are unable or afraid to answer. They just blather on what the Watchtower has indoctrinated them to say. @BroRando is a classic example]

I Corinthians 6:19-20

Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist, and he is the head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that he might become the one who is first in all things; because God saw good for all fullness to dwell in him, and through him to reconcile again in himself all [other] things by making peace through the blood [he shed] on the torture stake, no matter whether they are the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens.

One would be surprised to know that many doctrines espoused by denominations, religious movements, and churches are not biblical in the name of Christ or Christianity. Reading a little more on the Reformation was a real eye-opener.

Religion is when a group of people coalesce around beliefs (biblical, myths, traditions, superstitions, etc.). Unfortunately, too many non-biblical ideas have embedded themselves into religious bodies and have taken center stage. Please help me to explore them. Consider first:

1. What are doctrines?
2. Are they beneficial or necessary in today's religion?
3. What is heresy?
4. Are there heresies in the Bible?
5. Can you list and explain some non-biblical teachings or doctrines masking themselves as God-ordained truth?

In short, getting back-to-the Bible, what are some of the modern-day heresies? CM
