I have and nowhere does it say the faithful and discreet slave will show up as men of the governing body. I am sure.

Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ?

I know people show good fruit. I AM SAYING nowhere does it say people are known by their GOOD FRUITS. In fact the Bible makes it very clear that JEHOVAH is known by people's good fruits. Like Jesus.

Now you're jumping around from subject to subject.
Galatians Chapter five
19 Now the works of the flesh are plainly seen, and they are sexual immorality,*+ uncleanness, brazen conduct,*+20 idolatry, spiritism,*+ hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects,21 envy, drunkenness,+ wild parties,* and things like these.+ I am forewarning you about these things, the same way I already warned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.+22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,* kindness, goodness,+faith,23 mildness, self-control.+ Against such things there is no law.24 Moreover, those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed to the stake the flesh together with its passions and desires.+25 If we are living by spirit, let us also go on walking orderly by spirit.+26 Let us not become egotistical,+ stirring up competition with one another,+ envying one another.

No! That is you avoiding the obvious.

No, you changed the subject, referring to the governing body.
Do you miss the plethora of happy faces?
OK. I am sorry. You said to believe anything not in The Bible is wrong. I said you believe those men who say they are the faithful and discreet slave something NOT in the Bible. The Bible does not say who it is or will be. Look it up. It is a question without an answer.

The faithful and discreet slave, the governing body, IS in the scriptures inspired by God the Almighty. Their function and duties are also explained therein. What they "teach" as you say, is also the scriptures themselves. They never put forth a belief that doesn't come from God's inspired word. Ever.
I don't know if they teach anything that doesn't come from God's inspired word EXCEPT that they are mentioned in The Bible. Do you understand?
A little leaven ferments the whole batch. They might be right about everything. BUT there is no evidence anywhere in scripture that they will be appointed over all God's belongings. If they are not appointed then that one teaching of theirs is leaven which makes all the rest leavened also. OK?
You say they are proved righteous by their good fruits but the Bible doesn't say that either. Fruit is not works. Are they? The Bible says good fruit is Holy Spirit. How does one work the Holy Spirit?

They are placed over their master's belongings in the scriptures.

Does Krampusnacht have anything to do with Krampus??
Of course Christmas has something to do with Christ. It may not be much compared to the other traditions heaped upon the holiday, but it is still an influence, no matter how large or small that influence is. And since the question is Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ, the answer is yes.

It only has something to do with the Christ in that false religion says so. Otherwise, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Christ.
SOMEONE is but THEY are not. The scriptures don't even say WHEN the faithful and discreet slave would appear. It is mentioned only ONCE and the once it is mentioned is a QUESTION.

Definately mentioned more than once, and not just a question.
45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+46 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+47 Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.
See that *? See there is no +? That means there is no cross reference.

So?? The question is does it have anything to do with Christ. Not does it have much to do with Christ, or even does it have a small amount to do with Christ. It says anything.
They can't hear you.
