Janosky: Is it that you guys don't have brains to understand my point or you do understand it and pretend you don't? I just don't get it, you guys are not even rebutting my argument at all. Let me state it simply: - the apostles make mistakes for sure. However, they didn't say it was God's spirit that led them to those mistakes. For eg, they never said "God's spirit made me discern that Jesus was going to restore the kingdom to Jerusalem now". Never! - whenever they had a spirit led understanding, they never tomorrow term that previous spirit led understanding false, in other words, they didn't bring up a new spirit led belief that contradicted the previous spirit led belief. Since the apostles never did that, your situation is different from theirs. Now, if you say that you are making mistake just as the apostles made, that is, without spirit leading, then leave it at that. Make it plain that your understanding is purely human effort to understand the sacred scriptures. There is nothing wrong with that. The mistakes of the apsotles were just that - human effort to understand the scriptures. However, even under this human effort, I have not seen flip flop among the apostles. Not that flipflop will be wrong in that instants, no. Thats human for you. Your position is quite different. You say you have spirit led understanding, yet you flip flop. Making me wonder which spirit is that. Let me tell you what your organization mean. There spirit led understanding doesn't really mean spirit of God leading them to any understanding, but because the bible is inspired, and they make their doctrinal decisions based on the bible, they now concluded that their decisions is spirit led. In other words, they mean that they made the decision from an inspired word of God, as such, the understanding is spirit led. That way, there understanding matches with the situation of the apostles who made mistakes. It is unfortunate that there is no good JW apologees on this forum. Sorry. So that is purely a human effort. All they tell you about spirit directiing, leading etc, the above is what they mean. I don't need comments that lack proper understanding of my position. 2 Likes |

achorladey: Powerful point I might also add, Irenaeous whom they doubt is a true disciple got the correct understanding, but they came along and kept flip flopping over just that simple truth. What is sad is that they still view themselves as the only true religion with all these flipflops. 1 Like |

Janosky: For the first time, you have made a fine rebuttal. Kudos! While Russell's belief about the son is in some way different from that of JW today, he didn't see the son to be equal to the Father intoto. He believed that all the son had was from the Father. However, there was a difference in how he viewed the son as opposed to what the witnesses believe today. Secondly, another difference is about the spirit. 1 Like |

achorladey: I feel it's just the way they understand the scriptures. They are not alone in this, there are other denominations with different theology based on how their leaders understand the bible. However, different opinion doesn't need to cause this fight among the body of Christ. But the witnesses just have lots of pride and with low scriptural understanding. Such a contradiction. I don't blame them, had most church leaders equipped their sheep very much without this love of money I see among them, many witnesses would have been shown their errors at every door they knock. And many young ones pay little or no interest in God's word. The witnesses are armed to the teeth with the lies of the Gov body well fixed in their psyche through studies. Leaders in the body of Christ, not all for sure, but many are just looking for money. We can see the consequences, many are now being deceived with lies and they peddle it as truth. Do you blame them? 1 Like |

Sand2022: Luke 9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. Luke 18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. Luke 24:25,45 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." The same disciples Jesus opened their minds to understand the holy scriptures, still did not believe in Jesus resurrection @ 1 Corinthians 15:12. Did the disciples understand and believe everything in the holy scriptures? Even Peter who wrote Acts 10:34, did Peter practice Acts 10:34 @ Galatians 2:11-14? But you are here WAILING upandan about JWs. Are you okay? |

Janosky: That's how you'll know you people can manipulate anything. Well I know it's just to defend those gods in Warwick Apostle Paul already established that "But if Christ is preached as raised from the dead..." Which means all of them already know that as truth The content of 1 Corin 15:12 is "they don't believe in THE RESURRECTION OF The Dead" not that of "resurrection of Jesus Christ."

Janosky: They didn't! This is Gal 2:11-14 and point out the WRONG TEACHING they RECEIVED FROM CHRIST AND THEY WERE TEACHING PEOPLE. "11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. 12 When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. 13 As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?

Janosky: That's why I do say you people lies so easily and reason why you always avoid quoting the scripture rather than citing it. Here is 1 Corin 15:12 "But tell me this— since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? It's evident that teaching of Christ resurrection isn't the main issue here but resurrection of the DEAD.

Sand2022: Their corrupt bible is the most unrealistic edition. If you read through the Gospel of John, the Bible support multiple God than denying it. For instance, ( John 1:1) there's God and a god (a god not found in any Greek writs). However, the verse points to two God's: small and big. If the small recognizes the big or vice versa, why? You talk about the spirit, they tried but cannot remove personal pronoun like 'he' from addressing the Holy Spirit. Besides, every other spirit in the Bible is a being including God the Father Himself (John 4: 24). Only Jehovah's Witnesses's holy spirit is a force like electromotive force.
