  What Was The MYSTERY DOCTRINE?

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in brief......the mystery, as understood by russell, meant that not only had jesus, the man,offered himself as a ransom sacrifice for mankind, but the body of christ, the 144,000 members of his church, also participated in the ransoming and atoning work.. russell felt that the mediator for the new covenant was "the christ, head and body.

  " that expression meant, of course, that the 144,000 actually participated in christ,s sacrifice for the world and were joined to him as his "bride" or his "body".

  m.james penton, apocalypse delayed, page 40.second edition.. the ideas concerning this doctrine had already been appearing in the publication, "three worlds", composed entirely by n.h.barbour.. when russell and barbour had a quarrel about the "new covenant",russell developed what came to be known as the doctrine of the "mystery".this caused the "new covenant schism"among the brothers at that time.. russell did not realize that his 'new truth' had in a general way been part of catholic doctrine for centuries.the catholic doctrine of indulgences is based upon this concept.

  Is Ehrman's "The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture" worth reading?

  by True North in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  most of my "knowledge" of the history and sources of the bible was acquired from watchtower publications.

  although i left the jw org.

  some twenty years ago, i never felt compelled to consider the subject much further.
