Daym123: Let's say there was a governing body in bible times in Jerusalem. Does it follow that everybody who says they are the governing body is the actual governing body? That is like saying since Jesus is in the bible anybody who says they're Jesus is Jesus. Is there anything dubious about their claim for appointment? If the bible doesn't point to a date for the appointment of a governing body where does that leave them?
If you got together with some wise people one time to discuss something important would that make your group all of a sudden in charge of things? If Jesus was using a governing body in the first century why did he send Paul directly? Also why was the congregation of Antioch said to have sent Paul out? Further why did God's spirit directly prevent Paul from entering Macedonia?
Here is a question for you: If everybody in Adam is dying and everyone in Christ is living how are the Jehovah's Witnesses supposed to gain life?
