Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus is God's Son and the Messiah, but not God Almighty himself, nor part of a co-equal Trinity.

Jehovah's Witnesses hold that Jesus is the Son of God, a distinct and subordinate entity to Jehovah (God the Father). They teach that Jesus was God's first creation, the 'firstborn of all creation,' and thus had a beginning, unlike the eternal Father. They identify Jesus, in his pre-human existence, as Michael the Archangel. This stands in stark contrast to the Trinitarian doctrine, which posits Jesus as co-eternal and co-equal with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, forming one God in three persons. For Jehovah's Witnesses, the concept of a Trinity is considered unscriptural and pagan in origin.
