Jesus's brothers-apostates?

enoughisenough

This came to me today. At first Jesus's own brothers didn't believe in him....thought he was crazy...can you imagine him shunning them for apostasy? I would think disbelieving in Jesus would be far worse than disbelieving the GB.

One would think so. But no, not believing in the governing body is, if not very close, actually sinning against the holy spirit. Remember they have elevated themselves to a position equal to God himself, and quite a bit higher than Jesus.

FEDUPJW:
Just clarifying that that is what they say about themselves: that ‘not believing in them is sinning against the holy spirit’. Okay then!😮
Someone please let me know when they start answering people’s prayers!

Jesus conducted miracles and his own brothers doubted him. Not a sin.
Sadducees stated Jesus' miracles were from the demons. That was an unforgivable sin.
Conclusion - denying the Governing Body is Jesus appoint slave from 1919 to the present is not heresy or a sin.
