Jehovah’s Witnesses put their Governing
Body above Jesus.
According to JWs, only their organization known as the
Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and its so-called
“Governing Body” is used by Jehovah to communicate
with the world today.
JWs say the governing body or this “faithful and discreet
slave,”
are the “one true source of spiritual food,” also
elevates this
group of men above the Bible itself.
"And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of
life.
He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who
believes in Me shall never thirst."
John 6:35
When He said, “I am the bread of life,” he was not
talking about
literal “bread”, but he was talking about the true “living
bread”
in the sense that those who believe in him will have their
spiritual hunger satisfied.
Jesus' blood symbolizes the blood covering of Jesus's
sacrifice
which was shed at the crucifixion.
His blood serves as the ultimate blood sacrifice in order to
cover
all of our past, present and future sins as long as we
"believe"
and have "faith" in Jesus.
Our works are nothing without Him, we are nothing
without Him,
and we surely are not getting into heaven without Him!
Witnesses believe you can have no relationship with
God
apart from the Watchtower Society.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that following and obeying
the
governing body is a requirement for persons to be saved.
“But Jehovah God has also provided his visible
organization,
his ‘faithful and discreet slave,’ made up of spirit-anointed
ones,
to help Christians in all nations to understand and apply
properly the Bible in their lives.
Unless we are in touch with this channel of communication that
God is using, we will not progress along the road to life,
no matter how much Bible reading we do.”
December 1, 1981, Watchtower
This is a very deceiving statement from them,
as the Bible says that
Jesus is mankind’s mediator to God;
“For there is one God, and One mediator between God and men,
a Man, Christ Jesus.”
1 Timothy 2:5
The word mediate means to “convey (a message, gift, etc.)
by or as if by an intermediary,” or to be a channel of
communication between parties.
Jesus is the door, not the Watchtower
Society.
Jesus is the Way, not the Watchtower Society.
Jesus is the Truth, not the Watchtower Society.
Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and the Life.
John 14:6
The Bible does not say that any other man is needed
for having
this line of communication or relationship with God, or for
having His approval.
The Bible clearly and unmistakably teaches that the
Lord Jesus
Christ is God.
The cult known as "Jehovah witnesses" deny that Jesus is
God,
thus revealing that they are anti-Christs.
Jesus said, "The truth shall make you free."
"Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be
free indeed."
John 8:36
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.”
John 8:31-32
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction
in
righteousness, that the man of God may be complete,
thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17
By ignoring the scripture that says only one Man, Jesus,
is the mediator between God and men, and inserting
themselves into a person’s relationship with God, the
governing body are elevating themselves to the same
position as Jesus.
Also, by saying that they are a “channel of communication”
that God is using, they are actually putting themselves
above Jesus.
Jehovah's Witnesses only confess God and try to
make Him
affectionate by meeting the demands of the Watchtower
Society.
We must remember that the Bible is God's word and not
the
Watchtower.
The Jehovah's Witness organization, that claims to be a
prophet
of God, is really a false prophet.
Over the years, the devil has elevated the Watchtower in
the
minds of Jehovah’s Witnesses to become an idol.
Just look at how often the Watchtower refers to “pure
worship.”
For all of their prophecies have failed to come to
pass!
Jesus warned us by saying, "For false Christ’s and false
prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to
deceive even the elect -- if that were possible".
Matthew 24:24
