My rebuttal to six doctrinal points of the Governing Body and Watchtower and Bible Tract Society
My objections and responses to some WTJW beliefs (see each webpage for scriptural references):
1. The use of God’s holy name in common daily conversation, instead of the Name by which we are saved: Jesus.
2. The deity of Jesus as The Word and as our creator, NOT as a created being by God, the Father per the WT.
3. Their foundational doctrine of Jesus returning to the invisible heavens above the earth in 1914. And with that event they say, Jesus (acting as the Arch Angel Michael), threw Satan the Dragon out of Heaven and to the earth with his demons. There is no biblical record of Jesus having yet returned to the earth.
4. A Christian's baptism has nothing to do with an organization or church; it is a public symbol of repentance between a man or woman and God. This baptism should only be done in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. It should not be done to signify affiliation with a religion.
5. The teaching that there is a class distinction among those saved by the New Covenant and that only a certain class should partake (most JWs do not partake) of the symbolic emblems representing the body and blood of Christ at the commemoration of his Last Supper. (aka communion)
6. The idea that a group of men have been appointed by God for exercising rules and a legal authority over the congregation and that they make pronouncements of theocratic prophecy from time to time claiming God is speaking through them to mankind. There are no prophets sent after Jesus made his sacrifice.
The Holy Spirit has led me to discover, as I was again being rejuvenated by him for healing, a ministry to help present and former Watchtower members recover and to come out of the false prophet. And not just come out, but to discover and learn of the identity of the True Jehovah and the True Jesus Messiah according to the WRITTEN WORD and BY MEANS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. And this is done by me to help you keep and strengthen your faith in God and Christ as you liberate from the bondage of a false teacher.
You can find the essays of my six rebuttals stated above each in its own webpage. These rebuttals first state what the Watchtower teaches as their doctrine followed by my rebuttal supported by scripture and then conclusion. These are key Watchtower doctrines that no other religious organization teaches because the teachings are false to the scriptures. If God is leading you to everlasting life through Jesus Christ and through walking in his WAY, then you are not justified or sanctified by ANY Church Organization. God himself is doing a work in you to form and grow in a relationship with HIM. Let’s learn what the Bible says about these doctrines.
