Since the C.O.'s agenda is to get you to attend the cult's rejection memorial, ask him the following:
Why does the "faithful slave" say that foreigners were not participants of the Law Covenant?
wt 98 2/1 p.19, par. 6 - "Further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the Law covenant. In what way? Not by becoming participants in it but by submitting to the laws associated with it and benefiting from its arrangements."
Deuteronomy 29:10-15 totally debunks this article and its implications:
“All
of you are
stationed today before Jehovah your God, the heads of your tribes,
your elders, your officers, every man of Israel, your
children, your wives, and your
foreign resident
who is in the midst of your camp, from the one gathering your wood to
the one drawing your water. You
are here [all of you] in order to enter
into the covenant of Jehovah
your God and his oath, which Jehovah your God is making with you
today in
order that he may establish you today as
his people and
that he may be your
God, just as he
has promised you and just as he swore to your forefathers, Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. “Now
it is not with you alone
that I am making
this covenant
and this oath, but
it is with those
standing here with us today
before Jehovah our God and with those who are not here with us
today."
If
Rahab and Ruth (foreigners) were not accepted as full
members of the nation of Israel, then the Messianic lineage would
have been corrupted!
There is no type/anti-type application for rank & file J.W.'s regarding "foreigners," therefore all Christians are full included in the New Covenant - not just an elite few as espoused by the WTBTS.
