Thanks for featuring my username in your subject....
Anyways, this should be enough to debunk the "faithful and discreet slave/Governing Body concept. IMO, if this is dubunked, everything else comes crashing down like a house of cards.
They always taught us at the service meetings that the most effective way of teaching is using the scriptures to speak for itself and rhetorical questions making ppl think right? Well here you go.
This is less than 70 words minus the citations.
Where is a middleman between us and Jesus in this scripture?
John 14:6: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.
Shouldn't it say: "by me through a faithful and discreet slave class?"
OK, Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. Where is the piece between the vine and the branches?
John 15:5: I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
Shouldn't it say: "I am the vine, the FDS are the branches and you are the fruit or whatever else is dangling from the branch"?
Let's play a game. Where's Waldo? Can you find the word "class" in this passage?
Matt 24:45: "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
Read the context. Is it REALLY an antitypical prophecy? Or is it a parable?
1 John 4:1: Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Based on the above, what is the result of the test?
