They cite Scriptures such as Acts 24:15, 1 Corinthians 15:12-21, Revelation 20:12,13 and many others as proof that the Bible teaches about a resurrection. Conversely, the Witnesses believe that when a person dies they are dead and await a resurrection by Jesus using God's holy spirit, and that he is the ultimate judge as to who will be resurrected or not. And just like the hell doctrine, they claim it was "forcibly injected" into Christianity. The Witnesses also reject the Trinity as a non-Christian teaching which they believe cannot be supported by the Bible. They claim that it is a historical fact, that this teaching was grafted on to Christianity over 300 years after the death of Jesus and is apostles by devious church leaders who wanted to control people. When it comes to the teaching of hell, the Witnesses believe that "God is love" and He, as a loving Father, would never do such a thing to his earthly children. For example, the Witnesses do not believe in hell fire, the trinity, heavenly life for most Christians or that Jesus died on a cross but rather a simple wooden stake (in the original Koine Greek "stauros").
