Dearest 'looking... may you and everyone else have peace!
I am sorry, but I just have to comment:
WT 8/1/01 pg.14 par.8
"8 First, since "oneness" is to be observed, a mature Christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned.
In TRUTH, such one would have to be in unity... with God and Christ... and by such 'union' become one with those and each other, yes? And yet (and this is for you, FredHall, Friday, et al.) due to their 'leaders' who 'shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men', the members of the WT majorily are NOT in such unity and are, therefore, in 'harmony' instead, with 'Belial'... or 'Beli-Jah-el'... the ones WITHOUT JAH as their God.
Proof?
John 17:22
John 15:4-7
John 6:56
2 Corinthians 6:15
Romans 8:9
John 14:23
He does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or harbor private ideas when it cmoes to Bible understanding.
This, dear one, is a blatantly false statement, born of hypocrisy. How so? Well, we COULD ask for a show of hands of folks just on this site who tried to SHARE what they had learned... or be 'given' by the TRUE Light... rather than selfishly keep such 'private'... but were rejected... by the 'scribes and the Pharisees' who themselves 'set law'.
Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is revealed by jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and "the faithful and discreet slave."
Wow! Did any of you see that? Revealed by 'Jehovah God'... through his Son... AND the FDS. Uhhhh, where was the FDS when John received HIS 'revelation'? I have read and heard of my Father, my Lord... and an angel... but can find NO mention of the WT... OR such 'FDS'. Why? Is the fact that such 'slave' is not even IDENTIFIED until the 'arrival' (parousia)... or RETURN... of my Lord from 'abroad'... BY my Lord? Things that seriously make you go 'hmmm...'
[QUOTE]By regularly takin in the spiritual food provided "at the proper time" - through Christian publications, meetings, assemblies, and conventions - we can be sure that we maintain "oneness" with fellow Christians in faith and knowledge. - Matthew 24:45"[/QUOTE{
And yet, the 'word' of my Father, through my Lord is: "I HAVE GROWN TIRED OF YOUR SOLEMN ASSEMBLIES!" Would that they had 'ears'... to listen and HEAR... what the Spirit has said, yes?
Ah, well, Israel... always 'living up to its name'... 'contender... with God.'
I bid you all peace!
A slave of Christ,
