22 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | RR144 | 82772 | ||
Actually the original quote you gave me is not the reference you now give above, but that's okay, I can live with that! As to 1914 being a crucial date? It may be to the Jehovah's Witnesses today, but it was not to Russell in his day. You see what Russell believed was to ccur what the Witnesses now believe occurred are apples and oranges. Did Russell make a mistake? Yes, not in his calculations but in the turn of events that were to happen and in what order. In his foreword to his study on chronology "The Time is at hand" he stated: "This Volume makes no claim to infallibility, and no claim of any direct inspiration from God in the interpretation of His Word. On the contrary, it does claim that the Divine Revelation is the Bible. Its endeavor has been to collate the Bible evidences and to offer suggestions in respect to their significance. "Dealing with subjects so difficult that they are rarely touched by others, it is not to be considered strange if some of the suggestions made in this Volume have not been fulfilled with absolute accuracy to the very letter. But the author, the publishers, and the thousands of readers of this Volume are not ashamed of its presentations, and are still handing it forth to all who have an interest in Bible study-- as most interesting and most helpful in an understanding of the Lord's Word." Continung on in his beliefs in regrads to the year 1914 he states: "This Volume sets forth, what its author has been preaching for over forty years, that the "Times of the Gentiles" chronologically ended in the fall of A.D. 1914. The expression, "Times of the Gentiles," in Bible usage signifies the years, or period of time, in which the Gentile nations of the world were to be permitted to have control, following the taking away of the typical kingdom from natural Israel, and filling the hiatus between that event and the establishment of God's Kingdom in the hands of Messiah-- "whose right it is." Ezekiel 21:27 "We could not, of course, know in 1889, whether the date 1914, so clearly marked in the Bible as the end of the Gentile lease of power or permission to rule the world, would mean that they would be fully out of power at that time, or whether, their lease expiring, their eviction would begin. The latter we perceive to be the Lord's program; and promptly in August, 1914, the Gentile kingdoms referred to in the prophecy began the present great struggle, which, according to the Bible, will culminate in the complete overthrow of all human government, opening the way for the full establishment of the Kingdom of God's dear Son." Today looking back that we can se that much of what Russell taught in that little volume and subsequent ones diod in deed have a fulfillment, most after his death? All of Christedom believe that someday the Kingdom of God will replace the kingdoms of this world, this is what the scriptures tell us as Messiah reigns. Was Russell a false prophet? Not at all, at least not by the scriptural definition, he did not prophecy, he simply attemptred to interpret prophecies already stated in scripture. he erred and recognized that and admitted as such.

24 | Literally 12,000 from each tribe? | Rev 7:4 | RR144 | 82755 | ||
Although Revelation is a book of symbols, numbers—but not necessarily what they are used to designate (“days,” “times,” “tribes,” etc.) always have a literal application. Therefore, 144,000 is the predetermined number to comprise the Bride of Christ; that is, it is the actual count of body members to be associated with Jesus in his Kingdom throne. The expression “of all the tribes of the children of Israel” is a spiritual designation or reference to the true Church, “the Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16 NIV). This latter classification in New Testament usage is not confined or limited to natural Jewry but is open to those exercising the faith of Abraham (Rom. 4:12,13; 9:6–8,24–26). |

The issue you brought up was not about Russell's divorce but the reason for the divorce, I was refuting that faulty reasoning. Did Charles and Maria separate in 1897 and make it legal in 1907? Yes, they certainly did. Do I agree with Russell that the doctrine of the trinity is a lie inspired by atan? I certainly do. Am I sympathetic to Russell? I certainly am. |

I personally believe the number is literal and represents the True Church of God. | ||||||
34 | Jahovah's witness | Rev 7:4 | RR144 | 82711 | ||
The Jehovah's WItnesses believe that they are the True Church and all others are of the devil. That being said, they believe that ONLY 144,000 are spirit begotten and inherit immortality and live and reign with Jesus in heaven. The Great crowd or company of Rev. 7, are the rest of mankind who will inherit earthly life. These are not spirit begotten. |

Sorry, what you have is an article from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the equivalent of todays National Enquirer. They spent most of thei time sensationalizing the news to sell papers. It was a relatinship like that of J. Jonah jameson and his Daily Bugle and Spiderman. I have the actual court transcripts and nothing is further from the truth. Maria Russell never charged Charles Russell with marital infidelity, I guess that's something the Watch the Tower site ommitted. Russell was never obsessed with the occult or egyptology. Did he believe that the Great Pyramid was divinely inspired by God? He sure did, as well as many other prominent ministers of his day and many today. |

And as I said, "Let's stick with Russell, the Watchtower of today have made many claims of Russell that were simply not true, they have simply rewritten their history..." The Watchtower of 12/1/1916 is one of these rewritten statements. As I stated before, you will not find in any of Russell's writings, where he personally made such a claim in print. the article you quote from was not written by Russell, as he was dead by this time, it was written by "Judge" Rutherford, and it is hearsay, and "hearsay' never holds up in a court of law. Try again! :) |

Let's stick with Russell, the Watchtower of today have made many claims of Russell that were simply not true, they have simply rewritten their history to make it seem that Russell was a Jehovah's Witness in harmony with their theology of today, this is simply not true, the two are separate and distinct. Because many in his day believed he was "That Servant" does not in itself mean he taught he was "that servant." I'll save you the time, Russell in all his years, NEVER, I repeat, NEVER taught that he was "that Servant" of Matthew 24:45-48. You will never find such a statement from him, believe me. |

That is because, Russell NEVER claimed he was anything but a servant of th Lord as al Christians are admonished to be. He never claimed anything special, never claimed infallibility, or that he was right and everyone was wrong, he never claimed you must join him or suffer death at armaggedon. No he was a simple man who claimed nothing of himself and admitted when he was wrong or when he didn't know. Unlike the Society he founded who eventually grew as a heirarchy over anyone willing to give up their Christian freedom. RR |
