Bible Note: Warning: If we answer this question, then we will have started down a long road of contention, and we will be discussing many other topics that I will list below. We might as well discuss the question of why some of us become a part of a cult. That, I humbly suggest, would be of more value than to consider this first as the expected answer, and the dubious assertions following: God: Unipersonal; His proper name is Jehovah. Jesus: A created angel who has existed in three stages or phases (the archangel Michael, Jesus of Nazareth, an exalted Michael). The Christ: The anointed one; Jesus became "the Christ" at his baptism, at which point He was also spiritually reborn. Holy Spirit: The impersonal active force of Jehovah. Trinity: A pagan superstition devised by Satan to blaspheme Jehovah. Salvation: Man is capable of achieving salvation without spiritual rebirth. Man: A material (not spiritual) creation of Jehovah. Sin: Not so exceedingly sinful. Satan: God’s arch-enemy, yes, but also consider the fact of Satan's annihilation and Watchtower Society teachings on good and evil angels. Second Coming: Occurred invisibly in 1874 (date later changed to 1914). Bible: Authoritative only when interpreted by the Watchtower Society. Heaven or Hell: Heaven is a place reserved for only the 144,000 "elect"; the idea of an eternal hell is a "doctrine of demons." And thanks to Nolan (Makarios) for bring these to our attention. |
