Tell a minister why the Bible alone is not enough to reach jw (page 2)

The Bible will never be enough to reach a JW so long as their allegiance is to the GB. Their allegiance to the GB overrides all reason.

hi isaac

I could say the same, that trinitarians put allegiance to a non-biblical doctrine thought up by pagan influenced leaders among them and idolatry born of it than listen to the bible teachings.

The Bible isn't enough for all of the same reasons that the Bible isn't enough for a JW to convert the minister to JWism.

A degree in Psychology might prove useful.

This brings to mind a Wt years back in 1980/1, that said that God has a channel and unless we are in touch with that channel we will not progress on the road to life no matter how much Bible reading we do...I will post it shortly.

No matter where we may live on earth, God’s Word continues to serve as a light to our path and a lamp to our roadway as to our conduct and beliefs. (Ps. 119:105) But Jehovah God has also provided his visible organization, his "faithful and discreet slave," made up of spirit-anointed ones, to help Christians in all nations to understand and apply properly the Bible in their lives. Unless we are in touch with this channel of communication that God is using, we will not progress along the road to life, no matter how much Bible reading we do.—Compare Acts 8:30-40.

Hi isaac

you should take your own advice but please can you stop using "swine" like a swear word towards me I have let it pass a few times now but it's getting a bit nasty, you are using it on every thread I post on.

hmmm edited away as I speak thank you for that.

CHANNEL TO UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE

JESUS assured us that after his death and resurrection, he would raise up a "faithful and discreet slave" that would serve as his channel of communication. (Matthew 24:45-47) The apostle Paul identified this channel to the Ephesian Christians when he wrote that "there might be made known through the congregation the greatly diversified wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose that he formed in connection with the Christ, Jesus our Lord." (Ephesians 3:10, 11) It was the congregation of anointed Christians, born at Pentecost 33 C.E., that was entrusted with the "things revealed." (Deuteronomy 29:29) As a group, anointed Christians serve as the faithful and discreet slave. (Luke 12:42-44) Their appointed assignment from God is to provide spiritual understanding of the "things revealed."

Even as Bible prophecy pointed forward to the Messiah, it also directs us to the close-knit body of anointed Christian Witnesses that now serve as the faithful and discreet slave. It helps us to understand the Word of God. All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of God" can become known only through Jehovah’s channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave.—John 6:68.
