1. If the Witness says he learns his theology by reading the Bible alone, then he contradicts the Watchtower which says that is not possible: Continue Reading 1 Like |

Obviously, the Watchtower organization tells its members what to believe. From the last quote, we can clearly see that the Bible teaches Trinitarianism since that is what we would conclude if we simply read the Bible without the Watchtower guiding our thoughts. Of course you can see the idea of trinity in the Bible. (God is three in one or one in three) While some see the idea of unitary. (Jesus is the one God. He's the Father himself). The question for you is; what was the idea of the first generation Christians that were obviously inspired by the holy spirit? Did Peter, Paul or any of the apostles believe in trinity or one GOD the Father? 1 Corinthians 8:6 Did Jesus teach trinity or one true GOD the Father? John 17:3 If not for the Watchtower interpretation, there's no way I would have known the truth. We have been fed with too much lies by the mother of all church (Roman Catholic). 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU: JWs are very correct. "The Bible is an organizational book". "Teaching of the apostles"... Is "Apostles " a one man Sole Proprietor/Pastorpreneur popular in Christendom? @ Acts 2:42 & Acts 15:2-28, is the teaching of the apostles coming from a sole proprietor/ Pastorpreneur who climbs the pulpit every week and dish out to gullible sheeples whatever suits his whim? Not at all, no way !!!! Revelation 1:1 is instructive - Jehovah gives the revelations to Jesus his son, Jesus sends it to angels, from angels to John & from John to all of JEHOVAH'S servants. Jehovah's Organizational structure is luminous in Revelation 1:1 & Acts chapter 15 vs 2-29 That is why Paul's teaching can NOT conflict with Peter's or John's gospel. The same procedure among Jehovah's servants today. Carm.org made references to Trinity.

I feel compelled to comment here even though I really don't want to. Obviously, The comments here will be varying depending on who are JWs and who are not. It's understandable cos' everyone will be providing answers based on their knowledge. But two things are certain. ONE Jehovah’s Witnesses do not base our beliefs on the Quran, or on the Tanakh only, or the Book of Mormon.. We believe the Bible is the Word of God and base all of our doctrines and our worship on the Bible. So, from that standpoint, yes: the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses is biblical. TWO A different approach would be whether our interpretation of the Bible is correct or not. Obviously, Jehovah’s Witnesses will tell you that it is. And those who believe in the Bible but belong to a different religion or a different theological trend so to speak will tell you that it isn’t. The key is knowing why we believe what we believe, why we find it so convincing. Is there any of Jehovah's witnesses teaching you find confusing? Why don't you bring it up and let's discuss with your own Bible?(If you have a Bible handy) Or is it the practical applications of those scriptures? Now it is difficult to talk to us in person, but if you visit our official website you’ll find a lot of information. JW.org 1 Like |

Hismasterpiece: I agreed with this 100% because Jesus said about his future followers: “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word" John 17:20 So according to Jesus there will be some who are given the spirit to TEACH others {Matthew 28:20} while the Holy Spirit TEACHES this ones {John 14:26} they in turn will be TEACHING others in the congregation! Hebrews 13:7,17 compare to Matthew 24:45 Therefore it is impossible for anyone to pick up the Bible, read and understand without those given the spirit to TEACH others {Ephesians 4:11} that's why there's contradictions everywhere as each person just wake up one day and gather people in a place only to become their pastor then start contradicting the others so that all of them are claiming huge religious titles yet there's no unity unlike Jehovah's Witnesses who are united globally in the same line of thought! John 17:22 It's God's plan to bring millions of people together under one umbrella and make them surrender weapons so that they're no longer training for wars {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} is what your friend is against not Jehovah's Witnesses. He has been blinded by Satan who is the God of confusion {2Corinthians 4:4} so that the fine WORKS of God's Holy Spirit which has produced good fruit in the midst of imperfect humans that what he is condemning unknowingly!

Watchtower of November 1,1917, published a year after Russell’s death, contained an article titled: “A Tribute to the Seventh Messenger.” In part, it said: The great drama of the Gospel Age opened with the apostle Paul as the chief messenger, or angel, to the Church. It closes with Pastor Russell as the seventh and last messenger to the Church militant. For the other five epochs of the Church, the Lord provided messengers in the order named; St. John, Arius, Waldo, Wycliffe and Luther. Each in his turn bore the message due to be understood during the epoch he represented. The two most prominent messengers, however, are the first and the last: St. Paul and Pastor Russell Where in the Bible can you find such teachings? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This are the numerous examples that their teachings are not wholly from the Bible. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Hismasterpiece: You quoted the scripture out of context Sir! Paul was here referring to the time when God's Kingdom has taken over from worldly authorities {Daniel 2:44} it has been prophesied {Jeremiah 31:31-34} but for the main time Apostle Paul urges all JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES to remain OBEDIENT to the teachings of the GOVERNING BODY: Remember those who are taking the lead among you, who have spoken the word of God to you, and as you contemplate how their conduct turns out, imitate their faith! Hebrews 13:7 Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over you as those who will render an account, so that they may do this with joy and not with sighing, for this would be damaging to you. Hebrews 13:17 No wonder Jesus' command says Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things! Matthew 28:19-2 So Jesus emphasized on the need for some to continue TEACHING others in his group until the conclusion of the system of things when such will no longer be! ![]() 2 Likes |

Tickles001: No. They don't. Where in the Bible did it say Jesus returned spiritually in 1914? We go see whether they teach heresies or not. They draw their teachings from the bible even more than most motivational pentecostal churches out there. In reality most motivational pentecostal churches too draw out their teachings from the bible. Case closed. They can draw more from the Bible and merry go round with it in circles without really going anywhere with it. The thing is just that people don't usually welcome the truth. Especially, when it challenges what they've been raised to believe. Na the same denominator Jehovah’s witnesses share regarding the truth. They too don't welcome the truth when it goes against their established policies, process and procedures. The blood transfusion thing is a different issue. I don't totally agree with them on that one Na you talk sey they don't preach HERESIES. Why is the blood issue different ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Tickles001:Sir, You're on point,as far as the bolded is concerned. The Bible is against taking of blood into your body. "Abstain from blood" ,Acts 15:28-30 is God's command. Faith is not a possession of all people. Hebrews 11:17-19, Abraham knows that obedience could result in the loss of Isaac but he trusted Jehovah & exercised faith. Shalom. |

edoairways:Oga,is there "transfusion" in your Bible? Is there "oral se.x" in your Bible? No ! Therefore, the analogy is the same. You saw " abstain from blood" in your own Bible, just as you saw "abstain fornication." So, it's ok by you. You want to see abstain from "transfusion" attached to "blood" so you can accept it, shey? But, you didn't see "abstain from "oral se.x" in your own Bible,don't you know it's fornication? 1 Like 1 Share |
