Jehovah’s Witness Christology: A Nicene Christian Assessment
Jesus is not Almighty God or consubstantial with the Father and is identified with Michael the archangel.
The Central Error
From a Nicene perspective, it denies Christ’s full eternal deity and the Trinity.
Historic Response
Historic Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions classify the teaching as non-Nicene; it is often compared with Arianism.
Modern Echoes
Jehovah’s Witnesses remain an active worldwide religion. This page describes the doctrinal difference from Nicene Christianity.
