Why do people thik that the apostles who were expounded the scriptures by Christ Himself, not speak and teach in the manner He taught them - using the same way of speaking?

Because they made mistakes just as we do. The scriptures bring this out as a warning for us all. Did not Peter err when he sided with the Jews and did not Paul correct him? And did not other apostles err for much the same reason? Were not James, Cephas and John identified specifically in scripture as being wrong? The responsibility therefore rests with each one of us and not with such leaders even if they are apostles.
Galatians 2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no mans person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: 7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
You do not understand scripture because you are blinded by what the Watchtower has taught you and you follow men that know nothing of such truth. They have caused you to sin by denying the very blood of Christ that He shed for all.
