The Watchtower gave the majority of Jehovah Witnesses the following, for abstaining from partaking of the Lord’s Table. How sad.
“The Jonadabs are not even justified, because the receiving of life everlasting depends upon their obedience within God’s organization and faithfully abiding there until the wrath of God is passed at Armageddon.” WT April 1, 1938 p. 104
The word “Jonadabs,” was at that time given to the ‘average’ JW within their organization who were told, that they could not partake of the Lord’s Supper, because they were not yet justified as righteous in the eyes of God.
This unbiblical teaching kept the majority of Jehovah Witnesses (Jonadabs), at bay (from partaking) at their communion. This teaching was strange indeed, and this teaching continued. If one is sanctified, they are justified, and these, are invited to partake. (More on sanctified later). “Who in the World would feel comfortable partaking, thinking they were not justified as righteous in the eyes of God?”
Below is one of their all time classics….’and they even got away with it! What does this say about studying out of books instead of studying out of the bible? I think people get rook ed by the WT by it's attacking the Church. The WT will take some article out of the paper about some bad preacher or some particular denomination and make it sound as if "all" churches have condoned the point that was brought out in the paper. The WT deceitfully twist everything in a 'spiritual pretzel' that has its followers (that have been reading out of their 'book' studies,) thinking it is 'OK' to throw the baby out with the wash water.Did Jesus lie to them and 'us' in Matthew 16:18?" "Was he really that short sighted?"
Did the Apostle Paul promise us the Church would be around until the cults came to save it in the 1800's?- Coloscians 3:21(Would a couple of you help me here on how we could use this promes to refute the cult member, ..('who we love').
At Ephesians 5:25-26,(using WT dogma,) one must also conclude that, ("I must be going")..)a Christian can fill in this thought here).
Galatians 3:21,Would someone expond on this one please
(Luke 9:49-50, (What would Jesus tell the WT and other cults?) Which one of these three parties represents the cults mentality here? The cults have been attacking the Church ("as a whole"!) from their very beginning. Whoever attacks the Church is attacking God's people and whoever is attacking God's people is attacking God.
In their book: “Life Everlasting In The Sons of God,” 1966. p. 391, “The Great Crowd are taught to believe they don’t receive justification promised in the N. T. The Great Crowd will not be justified or declared righteous either now nor then as the 144000 heavenly heirs have been justified while in the flesh”
Seeing such deceitful and blasphemous teachings such as this causes one to appreciate the importance of the subjects that I continue to cover. By examining the cultic teachings of the Watchtower from Biblical teaching, Christians soon learn that this first subject, was where the wheels begin falling off from Watchtower dogma.
You are a wonderful group of people.
Until next time when I have more time.
