SEa Breeze, Points 1-3 are incorrect.
Jehovah is our father because he was our creater
Yes, Jws are declared righteous from faith and when their sins are removed.
Yes, JWs have had their sins forgiven.
And, Yes, Jesus is the mediator for the anointed only because only they need a mediator.
That"s where the Borg gets John 14;6, wrong.
It says "Jesus" is the way and the life.
asp59:
The 144000 are not priest or Kings yet.
The Bible doesn’t say the ‘144,000’ ever rule as priests. It only says they rule as kings, forever. It is, according to Revelation, the ‘great crowd’ from ‘all nations’ who rule as kings and priests during the ‘1,000 years’.
@ Rattigan,
Jehovah is our father because he was our creater
Nope. WT has never back tracked on the fact that Jehovah is not the father of R & F witnesses. God does not recognize the devil as his son, though he created him. Christians are born sons of Adam.... like everyone else but are grafted into the family of God by adoption. R & F witnesses are not adopted but are still trying to get into the family another way.
Yes, Jws are declared righteous from faith and when their sins are removed.
Only, their sins are not removed because they publicly reject the New Covenant "for the forgiveness of sins as described in Mr. 26: 27-27
And, Yes, Jesus is the mediator for the anointed only because only they need a mediator.
Wrong, All are sinners. All will be judged after they die (Hebrews 9:27). All need a Mediator.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; - 1 Tim. 2: 5

I thought the sins of the other sheep were absolved by their own death, not Christ's death on their behalf.
You can't have it both ways.
By the way, there is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood..so whose blood was shed for their forgiveness? If you say Christ's, then they are in the New Covenant.
