I have come to notice something about Jehovah’s witnesses. Whenever you point out their lies and manipulations, they run under the cover of "our understanding" . They will say our understanding then was this, or that. They will never agree that they lied, they use the cover of our understanding to cover up or deny they lied. This our understanding relies so much on Proverbs 4:18.
Let's see the example that follows......
What was their understanding regarding Romans 13: 1 in the year 1952?
The Jehovah’s witnesses understanding was that God and Jesus are the superior authorities or governmental authorities.
What was the Jehovah’s witnesses understanding about Christendom who believed that Romans 13 was about the governmental authorities on earth today.
They stated........
False teaching such as that the political powers of this wicked world were the higher powers of Romans 13:1 who must be obeyed even though they contradicted God's expressed commands.
From here their understanding and belief was...... Christendom teaches false doctrine, contradict God's expressed commands
Since they love to hide behind our understanding? What is the latest our understanding of Jehovah's Witnesses regarding Romans 13 :1?
For some years, until 1962, Jehovah’s Witnesses held that the superior authorities were Jehovah God and Christ Jesus. However, in line with Proverbs 4:18, light increased, and this view was adjusted.......... superior authorities are now : the kings, presidents, prime ministers, mayors, magistrates, and others who wield secular, political power in the world.
This becomes interesting because the question this raises will be, what is their our understanding about Christendom now and the fact that they stated they were teaching false doctrines and contradicted God's expressed commands now?
Definitely their our understanding regarding Christendom and this teaching now will change to
1. Christendom do not teach false doctrines regarding Romans 13:1.
2. Christendom do not contradict God's expressed commands.
When Christendom now say categorically that Jehovah’s witnesses teaches falsehood and contradict God's expressed commands, Jehovah’s witnesses hide behind "our understanding" forgetting their "our understanding" now equally calls the Jehovah’s witnesses false teachers, liars and those contradicting God's expressed commands. For by their(Jehovah’s witnesses) words they(Jehovah’s witnesses) will be justified, and by their words words they will be condemned."
