Ok! section 3 first!
How was Bible Truth Rediscovered?
It goes in to the section and explains that false teachers were foretold to arise after Jesus died (and the apostles died according to one conment). Those teachers mixed teachings of Christ with false religious ones. How can we be sure that today we have the correct understanding?
scriptures cited are Acts 20:29,30 and 2 tim 4:3,4. good so far? Pretty straightforward.
But then....
The Time came for Jehovah to reveal the truth.
In 1874 (riiiiiiight) a small group of truth seekers fulfilled the beginning of Dan 12:4 about true knowledge becoming abundant in the last days. They exposed things that were unscriptural like trinity (even though Bible students still wordhipped Jesus till after 1914), hellfire, etc. and Jehovah blessed them with spiritual insight!!!! (And the ability to false prophesy, apparently).
Sincere men carefulky studied the Bible.
the meat of this one is that when these students arrived at a conclusion the harmonized with the scriptures they wrote it down and let the BIBLE INTERPRET ITSELF (emphasis and paraphrasing mine).
the question here is "then why did they have to keep changing doctrine and new light to old if the Bible interpreted itself for these chosen ones with spiritua insight?"
"By 1879 the Bible Students discerned that the time had come to make the truth widely known." THEY discerned? thats riiiiiight they werent considered the FDS cause that wasnt established till laaaater.
Section 4 is more on why they needed to have the NWT "their own bible". Nothing new here except that a comment was made, quite angrily i might add, when a sister said "how dare they take out Gods personal name!" And she went on about how wring it is to change the Bible. Of course im the only one in the room whos eyes went wide. Absolute hypocrisy at its best.
That was some quick info in the BS i sat through.
Now what did you friends find interesting? Lol
