Despite the scriptures instructing Christians to witness for
CHRIST, and not for God...
Matthew
10:18; Mark 13:9; Luke 24:48; John 1:15; 5:37; John 8:18; John 15:26,
27;
Acts
1:8; 9:15,16; 10:39; 10:43; 13:31; 22:15; 22:20; 23:11; 26:16; 1 Cor.
1:6; 1 Tim. 2:6, 7; 2 Tim. 1:8; 1 John 5:9; Rev. 1:9; 12:17; 17:6;
19:10; 20:4...
….and telling Christians to call on
CHRIST's
name for everything and not GOD's name...
Matthew
10:22; 18:20; 19:29; 24:9; Luke 10:17; 21:12; 21:16, 17; John 2:23;
5:27, 28; 14:26; 15:16; Acts 2:38; 3:6; 4:10; 5:40; 5:41; 9:14-16;
10:48; 11:26; 16:18; 19:5; 22:16; 1 Cor. 6:11; 2 Cor. 5:15; Phil.
2:10; Heb. 13:15; Rev. 2:3; 2:13.....
…..the
organization's hierarchy and clergy mandarins persist in teaching the
lie about whose name JW's have to witness for.
Compounding
their false teaching, they pervert Paul's words at Hebrews
13:15
regarding the
name which was to PUBLICLY
DECLARED:
“Through
him let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the
fruit of our lips that make public declaration to his name.”
Here
are just 6
examples of the WTBT's repeated deception -
w14
9/15 p. 11 par. 20 Are You Convinced That You Have the Truth? Why?
As dedicated Witnesses of
Jehovah, we are convinced that we have the
truth....
w14
11/15 p. 15 par. 12 - “Our
lips should make public declaration to Jehovah’s
holy
name.”
w12
1/15 p. 23 par. 10 - “The
public declaration of our hope....Paul
called this essential Christian activity “a sacrifice of praise,
that is, the fruit of lips which make public declaration to [God’s]
name.” (WT's insertion & brackets)
w11
3/15 p. 14 par. 9 - “...continue
to rely heavily on Jehovah, who will grant you endurance as you “make
public declaration to his
name.”
w05
7/15 p. 29 par. 14 - Why
should we allow a month to pass without witnessing about Jehovah..?
w03
5/1 pp. 28-29 - “a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of
lips which make public declaration to [God’s] name.”
(WT's insertion & brackets)
….but
this Watchtower article really hammers home the “slave's” dogma:
w94
9/15 p.10 Make Public Declaration to Jehovah’s Name
If
you are an active JW, take the time to compare what the org
says with what all of the above scriptures really tell you, and then consider Paul's confirmatory words:
(Hebrews
4:14) "Therefore,
since we have a great HIGH
PRIEST
who has passed through the heavens, JESUS
the Son of God, let us hold on to our public declaration of HIM."
(Romans
10:9) For if you publicly declare
with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and exercise
faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be
saved.
1st
century Christians publicly declared the name of Jesus Christ – not
“Jehovah.”
