Sounds like a good story Lawrence. Wish I knew some stories. Make sure you're wearing your plaid shirt with a tie though. And big thick framed glasses.

A friend lent it to me. It wasn't good at all. Glad I didn't waste any money on it at all, just gas bringing it back to the video store for him.

This is exactlly what I mean kwin when I said my opinion has changed about you by your negative Comments in the topic from yesterday. Are you now CLAIMING the bible DOES contradict itself?
That was quite obviously a joke. Meant to be funny, not negitive. Defd, where in the bible does it even mention contridicting itself? Find that scripture, and I'll apoligize for my bad joke.

What would you have done?
by defd inwhat would you have done back in the 1st century when jesus came on the earthly stage and started christianity.
would you have became his follower?
how about after he left the earth and christianity began to spread by means of the apostles, would you have been involved in the many congregations that were started throughout the area?

Kwin it looks to me that they are saying that Jesus is the MEDIATOR (go between) with those who are in the NEW COVENNANT. That is clear to me. For those who are NOT in the covenant he acta as a HIGH PRIEST.
Where in the scripture does it say that Jesus is ONLY the mediator between God and those in the New Covenant (the 144,000) and he is High Priest to everyone else?
There are, thus, others not of the 144,000 "sealed" ones who also pray to Jehovah God in the name of Christ, putting faith in the merit of his ransom sacrifice. ; This sacrifice is not only for those for whom Jesus mediates the new covenant but also for all mankind expressing faith in Christ. (1Jo 2:2) These not in the new covenant also appreciate that "there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved." (Ac 4:12)
This part is fine, as it's discussing Jesus' sacrifice ONLY, and not mediatorship.
They, too, look to Jesus Christ as their great heavenly High Priest, through whom they can approach God and through whose ministration they can get forgiveness of sin. (Heb 4:14-16) Revelation 21:22-24 points out that ‘the nations will walk in the light of New Jerusalem,’ where Jehovah God is the light and the Lamb Jesus Christ is the lamp.
This says that we can approach God through Jesus, in his role as High Priest, but not through his role as mediator. Obviously there is a difference, as the WT had made a difference. Why? The scripture is stated quite simply, One mediator for ALL man.
Also, this later info seems quite different, softer I guess, from the position taken in 1986 and previously. Just a side note I guess.
