Under the Law of Moses, the Jews were not to adopt the religious practices of the pagan nations around them.
One prime example of this and interfaith practice was the once wise King Solomon, who began to worship the gods of his pagan wives as well as trying to worship Yahweh or Jehovah at Jerusalem's temple. In the Christian Greek scriptures or New Testament, Christians are admonished to separate themselves from things that are spiritually unclean.
We are warned in the book of Revelation to get away from Babylon the Great in order to avoid participating in her sins and receiving the same punishment. So in line with that, Jehovah's Witnesses do not advocate worship and cooperation with religious organizations who don't promote true Bible teaching. Consider this: Could you imagine a scene where Jesus Christ and Satan are walking hand in hand with each other?
No, because Jehovah had warned the Israelites that his justice and his judgments would not be partial and that for the Israelites to enter into relations with the Canaanites, intermarry with them, practice interfaith, and adopt their religious customs and degenerate practices would mean their inevitably bringing down upon themselves the same decree of annihilation and would result in their also being ‘vomited out of the land.’
No we do not believe in interfaith, all beliefs lead to God! Spiritual ignorance as to what the Bible calls the mother of harlots(prostitutes) Babylon the Great (Rev the 17th chapter) is something 99% of the Christians that go to Christendom’s churches don’t have a clue as to what or who is pictured as Babylon the Great because Christendom’s clergy hides the truth from them or have no idea what John was talking about in Revelation! Rev 18:4 says all those that stay involved with Babylon the Great will have the same destruction as her so you would think their so called spiritual leaders would inform their church members about how to avoid this destruction (Revelation 18:4) And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.
The mother of prostitutes Babylon the Great is “all” false beliefs that are not based on what the Bible teaches, this would include religions that say they are Christian yet teach and practice false teachings and any form of paganism!
Immortal soul=false teaching (Ezek 18:4) Trinity=false teaching(Eph 4:5-6; 1Corinthians 11:3) to name two. Not only false clergy that are part of Babylon but every false teaching, evolution, Atheist, Muslim, scientology.
What does truth have to do with lies, paganism and false stories all of which the scriptures call unclean and we are not to touch the unclean thing according to what the Bible says!
No Jehovah’s Witnesses have nothing to do with false teachings, we practice what is said here (Matthew 22:37-40) He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”
Name me a faith or religion that is practicing what is written here at Matthew!
But yes, if you consider mixing a religious organization with the occult or satanism as interfaith.
I pray that one day, JWs will understand why I say that.
Things like the Holy Spirit being the "active force" (Odic force) or the NWT translation of John 1:1 (Johannes Greber) or their Memorial event (black mass) are just a few examples of the relationship between the JW organization and the occult.
Syncetrism is a word people sensitive to this issue tend to be more familiar with than interfaith. The big question is do they embrace the culture to keep the faith relevant?
No they don't and for good reasons. For one thing they reject all unbiblical teachings that virtually all mainstream churches of Christendom teach. For that reason alone Jehovah's Witnesses do not practice interfaith.
As in worshiping with other churches? Jehovah Witnesses would never do such a thing. They believe that they are the only TRUE church and all others are pagan. OTOH, virtually all mainstream churches reject Jehovah Witnesses as being a cult.
