Designs *** Christians disagreeing with Christians- that's new!****
****There are differences of views on whether the Torah will remain forever as the code. Traditionalist Jews (Orthodox) may say yes using the term [immutability of the Torah] while Conservative and Reformed and modern Jewish thought is quite different and sees the pure human hand in the Literature and history of the Torah and the Prophets and Wisdom books..***

Don't feed the Watchtower troll.

Why do ostenibly the Born Againers come to such different conclusions as to what their New Testament says and means.
Unstopableravens,
I'll give you a short answer. There are tons of scriptures that form my understading. So I can not disregard them. And therefor I do not believe the meaning of your sciptures is correctly presented. I suppose you have read the Bible from cover to cover many times and that you also know all the scriptures supporting my understanding. Or may be you have only studied publications presenting why you should believe that Jesus is Jehovah? And similar false teachings common in the churches?
I am not interested to debate endlessly. Until now there are propably not even two thinking christians that could agree on the truth 100%. At the jw they are forced to follow the GB in every detail. So the unity is not genuin. And outside I have not met two christians agreeing even nearly 100% on what is the true meaning of different Bible questions.
I could continue to debate with everyone on different subjects. So, unfortunately there is no oneness in the truth, a thing Jesus wishes from his disciples.
But I believe when Jesus comes to clean us with fire and soap, sincere christians will find unity and truth.
Jesus has Holy Soap. You learn so much on JWN.

Now that's a nice new word for me "ostensibly". .....
Your question is an assumed generalization, and so far from what I seen and what other have said, disingenuous.
Shalom! Have a good Sabbath ..belated.
How can a former Believer be disengenuous in questioning Believers in their different theologies. Asking someone to explain the why and how of their philosophy is communal. 'The trees I planted in my youth are now a hundred feet tall'.

The WBTS defination of being in the truth ( new light or old) is the GBs understanding in ALL things. The TRUTH to Christians is in a person. The whole embodiment of Jehovah's wisdom and knowledge is in his beloved Son. As a Christian I'm in possession of ALL truth and wisdom. Its Spiritual. Its a quality of life that enables godly living. This is NOT an achedemic knowledge of Bibical facts and Doctrines. James 3 shows the fruit of truth and wisdom from above As opposed to carnal knowledge and knowing scriptures. You search the scriptures thinking you will find eternal life and yet you will not come to me !!!
I Am, the Way, The Truth, and the Life......that's truth not achedemics
Christians in this UNION of Spirit and Truth, may differ in education, understanding, but a genuine divine love is a bond beyond words. Colossians 1:13
