Hello, did you know that the apostle Paul wrote
incorrect things? (according to the Wts)
*** w52 6/15 375 Subjection to Superior Authorities ***
SUBJECTION TO THE SUPERIOR AUTHORITIES”
6 The apostle Paul, a lawyer by profession prior to his becoming a zealous Christian minister, with great force points out the pre-eminent position of true superior authorities in God’s government over his servants. Paul writes, “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God.” (Rom. 13:1, NW) These last words, “for there is no authority except by God,” are proof conclusive that the “superior authorities” Paul is speaking of could not refer to the political powers of the Caesar governments. In the Scripture at Revelation 13:2, NW, the Bible specifically states that Satan is the one who has empowered and authorized the old world Caesars. Hence the “superior authorities” in Romans chapter 13 which God commissions includes only the theocratic ruling authorities and excludes Caesar’s authorities.
So, the apostle Paul was teaching what???
*** w52 6/15 375 Subjection to Superior Authorities ***
7 The Bible clearly identifies these truly superior authorities. First of all, Jehovah God himself, who resumes his sovereign control as to affairs of the earth, is the chief theocratic authority. Of his administrative kingship it is written, “Praise Jah, you people, because Jehovah our God, the Almighty, has begun to rule as king.” (Rev. 19:6, NW; Dan. 7:13) Then, too, the Scriptures say, “Shall we not much more subject ourselves to the Father of our spiritual life and live?” (Heb. 12:9, NW) The second in command and the remaining “superior authority” is the consort King Christ Jesus, of which Peter writes, “Have honor for the king.” Paul confirms this matter by speaking of the great name or lofty office which God gave to Jesus when he raised him to the superior position as a consort authority.
Did you get the point? The Bible and the aposte Paul …clearly identified these
truly superior authorities. After all we are in 1952,.. since the death of C.T.Russell
already 36 years have slowly gone by.
So who got it right? Wait a second…who but the WTS?
Read:
*** w52 6/15 381 Subjection to Superior Authorities ***
10. What further facts demonstrate that the “superior authorities” spoken of at Romans 13:1 could not be the Caesar governments as claimed by the clergy?
*** w52 6/15 376 Subjection to Superior Authorities ***
10 The above quotations from Paul’s letter to the Romans could never have applied to the political powers of Caesar’s world as wrongly claimed by the clergy of Christendom.
The only problem is that things changed only 11 years after…reverting to the view
of …yes you're right…C.T.RUSSELL.
So I refrase the question:
Who got it right? The Bible, the apostle Paul, the
clergy or...?
Who then … " wrongly claimed…" something that was not?
