    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    8 I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else, Nor my praise to graven images. -New World Translation Again if God won't give his glory to Anyone, why does Jesus have it unless Jesus IS Jehovah

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    The problem is the Watchtower mistranslates the bible to fit it's own theology. To make the bible say what it wants to say. That's the problem. And if any organization makes prophecies of any kind, like Jesus coming back in 1914 among many others, then they are taking on the role of a prophet...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    The point is that True Prophets of God do not make mistakes when claiming biblical truth. No prophet in the bible made such errors over and over again. Any excuses for such false teachings and false prophecy fulfillment must point to a false prophet. I'm sorry but if the Watchtower were around...

    My views about Islam and why it is so difficult to attain constructive dialogue about them

    Whatever anyone thinks of Muhammad either good or bad, he still did kill people, raid caravans, and use violence. That's just history.

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    I think some Jehovahs Witnesses are afraid to leave the Watchtower as they might feel there losing their faith or losing Jesus. But Leaving the Watchtower is NOT leaving Jesus Christ or God. It's merely going from a false doctrine to the True Light of Jesus by knowing the Truth about Him. And...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    5 questions from my heart for the Jehovahs Witnesses... 1. Jehovah says in Isaiah 44:24, "I am The Lord, who made ALL THINGS, who ALONE stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth BY MYSELF." How do you reconcile That with the Watchtower teaching that Jehovah first created Christ and...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    A survey of Watchtower history reveals that Pastor Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Jehovahs Witnesses, was once considered the "faithful and discreet slave." The watchtower book "The Harp of God," published in the early 1920's states: "without a doubt Pastor Russell filled the...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    First, I must point out, the Watchtowers interpretation of Revelation 7:4 and 14:1-3 switches interpretive methodology right in the middle of Revelation 7:4. What I mean by this is simply that they interpret the first half of the verse using a literal method of interpretation: "Them I heard the...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Basically Michael the arc Angel and Jesus are 2 different beings. In Daniel 10:13 Michael is specifically called "one of the chief princes." If he's "one of" that means he's not unique, but of a group of "chief princes." Which proves that he is not unique. By contrast the Greek word used to...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Well Jesus is God so not breaking commandment. And What pagan festivals do you mean? Like Birthdays? They celebrated them in the time of Job. And not going door to door means were not following Jesus? Paul didn't go door to door. He went from house church to house church. The disciples went to a...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    The Watchtower interpretation of Luke 12:32 violates the context of the passage. A look at the context shows that Luke 12:22-34 (all 13 verses) is a Single unit. It begins this way... "And He (Jesus) said to His disciples..." The entire unit from verse 22 to 34 contains words spoken by Jesus...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    But There's no verse where Jesus limits the citizenship in heaven to 144,000. 1 John 5:1 - "EVERYONE who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Doesn't everyone who believes include everyone and not just a select 144,000 people? How do you reconcile the Watchtower teaching that...

    Still don't understand the JW view that Jesus is the arc angel Michael. There's no biblical support for it at all.

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    The New World Translation has been rebuked by so many Greek and Hebrew scholars for it's many errors and a completely biased translation to fit the Watchtowers ideology into the Bible, instead of the other way around. Dr. Robert Countess, who wrote a doctoral dissertation on the text of the NWT...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    The fact is John would say Jesus is God. All the apostles drew from Old Testament writings about God Himself and put them to Jesus.

    If Jesus is not God but rules in the place of God then that makes Jesus God If He rules in Gods place. Either that or God is a liar... "I will not share my glory with another." -Isaiah 42:8

    No ones answered this yet so I'll post am this one a last time.... Let us look at the gospel of John chapter 12 in the New World Translation. Here at the end of chapter 12, is is towards the end of Jesus' public ministry. And this is before the private ministry to the disciples. And verse 39...

    Jesus' name in the New Testament is above The name Jehovah. Here's the Scriptural Truth to back it up... In whose name should warmest together (Matthew 18:20, 1 Corinthians 5:4)? Demons are subject to whose name (Luke 10:17, Acts 16:18)? Repentance and forgiveness should be preached in whose...
