Why The Church Demonized Literal Human History It Proves no Jesus

A Brief Apologetic for Understanding Church History-- It is important to know and to learn from church history as there will always be old heresies cropping up appearing as new teachings. We must always be on guard against such things. One case in point on why this is important is that the theology of the heretical cult of the Jehovah's Witnesses could have been wiped out if the Church had taken a stand against it. One reason why the theology of the Jehovah’s Witnesses is heresy is that the Jesus of the Jehovah’s Witnesses is a far different one from the Jesus revealed in Scripture. The Jesus of the Jehovah’s Witnesses is not God but is Jehovah’s first created being (according to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, before coming to this Earth, Jesus was known as “Michael the Archangel”). Jesus, according to Jehovah’s Witnesses theology, is not an eternal being.That Jesus was created (and is therefore not eternal) is a heresy and that belief has lead to further theological errors. This false view of who Christ is stems from a heresy called Arianism, which is attributed to Arius. ***an influential heresy denying the divinity of Christ, originating with the Alexandrian priest Arius ( circa 250– circa 336). Arianism maintained that the Son of God was created by the Father and was therefore neither coeternal with the Father, nor consubstantial.
