There is a knock at your door. You open the door to two well-dressed people who claim to be doing a Christian work in the neighborhood. Jehovah’s Witnesses call themselves Christians, but it is well known that they do not believe in the deity of Christ. Thus, from this, the question arises, are they really Christians? Or are they Pseudo Christians. If we look back through history we find that Arius of Alexandria was a famous purveyor of this concept. Thus many times Jehovah’s Witnesses are often called Modern Day Arians. But Arius WAS still considered to be a Christian because he regarded Christ as everything possible just short of Deity, and worthy of worship. The purpose of this dissertation was to research whether or not the doctrine of God of Jehovah’s Witnesses is such as to allow them to be called Christians. The objective of the historical research of this dissertation was to uncover thoroughly the details by reviewing four major areas of documents. These include Watchtower Society publications, critical works written about Jehovah’s Witnesses, historical and theological works written by and about Arius and his teachings, and works of Christian Evangelical Scholars relating to the doctrine of God and this topic. This research revealed some surprises that have been ignored by the Christian community resulting in erroneous allegations about both Arius and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Additionally, we will examine the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, which is a Bible Translation produced exclusively by the Watchtower Society. These findings are hereby presented in this dissertation.
