Jehovah's Witnesses, as a distinct religious group, do not derive their name directly from the Bible, but rather from their emphasis on the use of the name "Jehovah" for God, which they believe is the most accurate rendering of God's name in English. The name "Jehovah" is based on the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) found in the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly in passages like Exodus 3:15, where God reveals Himself to Moses as "I AM" and instructs that He should be called "the LORD" (YHWH). Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the use of God's personal name is important for true worship, as indicated in Psalms 83:18, which states, "That people may know that you, to whom alone the name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth."Theologically, Jehovah's Witnesses interpret the Bible with a unique perspective, notably rejecting the traditional Christian doctrine of the Trinity and emphasizing the Kingdom of God as a real government in heaven with Christ as its King. They rely heavily on scriptures like Matthew 6:9-10, where Jesus teaches His followers to pray for God's Kingdom to come, reflecting their belief in a future paradise on earth. Their doctrines and practices, including door-to-door evangelism, are based on their interpretation of biblical texts and their commitment to spreading what they believe to be the true understanding of God’s purpose and name.
