My Research Outline on the
Society
How the Watchtower Society feels about
examination of their beliefs.
1.The Truth that Leads to
Eternal Life 1968,pg12, We need to examine, not only what we personally
believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization....
2.Wt.3/15/69,pg166, We need
to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught
by any religious organization......
3.Is This Life All There
Is? pg 46,...really, would you want to be associated with a religion that
has not been honest with you?
4.Aw.10/22/73,pg6, Reasonable
persons agree that the only fair method is to examine the evidence on both
sides, both for and against a disputed theory. That is how one arrives
at the truth.
5.Wt.8/1/78,pg12, ...different
churches have published books and brochures for the purpose of “exposing
“Jehovah’s Witnesses as heretics.....calling another a “heretic” or “false
prophet”...Naturally, we are not afraid of this kind of publicity, because
we know that it serves to awaken the curiosity of many honest persons.
6.WT.6/15/85,pg12,...for
the purpose of getting the full depth of the thoughts explained...It requires
digging deeper, putting forth effort to locate that older publication and
then studying the pages...
I. The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society
made these claims & predictions.
A. They claim to be a Prophet.
1. Wt,1/15/59,pg40,41, Whom
has God actually used as his prophet?...Jehovah’s Witnesses are deeply
grateful today that the plain facts show that God has been pleased to use
them.
2. Wt,4/1/72,pg197, Who
is this prophet?..Today they are known as Jehovah’s Witnesses.
3. Wt,10/1/82,pg27, .....”prophet”
class yet on earth. The “war of the great day of God the Almighty” at Har-Magedon
could not start before this composite “prophet” ends his work.
4. Aw,6,8,86,pg9,....all
of whom are prophets, or witnesses for God. In fact, they are known throughout
the world as Jehovah’s Witnesses.
B. They claim to speak in
Jehovah’s name.
1. The Nations shall know
1971,pg58-62, ....as a mouthpiece and active agent......commission to speak
as a prophet in the name of Jehovah...
2. Wt,3/15/72,pg189,....commission
to speak as a “prophet” in His name.......
3. Wt,9/1/79,pg29,...those
of the Jeremiah class have been sent by Jehovah to speak in his
name......back up their message by quoting the words, “ This
is what Jehovah has said.”
C. They claim to be the
official mouthpiece and channel of Jehovah.
1. Zion’s Wt,9/15/1895,pg1867reprint,.....as
God’s mouthpiece in.....
2. Zion’s Wt,7/15/1906,pg3821reprint,.....the
truths I present, as God’s mouthpiece.....
3. Wt,6/15/57,pg370,....identify
Jehovah’s channel of communication for our day......respond to the
directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of God, because
it is his provision.
4. Wt1/15/59,pg40,41,....Jehovah
thrust out his hand of power and touched their lips and put his word
in their mouths.
5. Wt,7/15/60,pg439,...collectively
served as the channel of communication from heaven to earth.....
6. Wt,9/1/91,pg19,.....faithful
and discreet slave has also been called God’s channel of communication,...
7. Wt,2/1/57,pg79-80, God
interprets and teaches, through Christ the Chief Servant, who in turn uses
the discreet slave as the visible channel, the viable theocratic organization,...
D. They claim to have
a chosen and secret organization with special knowledge and angelic transmission.
1. Vindication 1,1931pg76,
...God’s organization is his chosen nation.
2. Preperation,1933,pg36,37,64...transmission
of information to God’s anointed people...the angels transmit this information,
we know that they do it; the scriptures and the facts show that it is done.....convey
the thoughts to their minds........To all on
the outside of the organization of Jehovah his is a
secret organization.
3. Holy
Spirit 1976,pg 175,176 He put his word in the mouth of his chosen people
....He has put his word, his message of the hour, into the mouth of the
spiritual remnant.
4. Wt,10/15/80,pg17,God
gives his humble servants special knowledge that others do not have.
having advance knowledge from Jehovah, his servants are equipped .....
E. They claim Jehovah instructed
or used them on certain events.
1. Creation 1927, pg 121,
Because it was the Lord’s due time to restore these truths he used
Charles T. Russell to write and publish books known as Studies in the Scriptures
by which the great fundamental truths of the divine plan are
clarified.
F. They claim they are the
beloved wife of Jehovah and are our Mother.
1. Wt,5/1/57,pg 283-285,....show
respect for Jehovah’s organization, for she is our mother and the beloved
wife of our heavenly Father, Jehovah God.
2. Wt,7/1/76,pg 400,....taught
through his wifelike organization, their” mother”.....
3. Wt,2/1/52.pg 79-80,...forsake
the enlightening guidance of the organization that mothered us?” Forsake
not the law of thy mother.”(Prov.6:20-23)....
G. They predicted the following
dates as the battle of Armageddon.
1. Zion’s Wt,1/15/1892,pg1355reprint,...”battle”
is definitely marked in Scripture as October, 1914.
2. The Time is at
Hand1908,pg43,44,....the “battle of the great day of God Almighty” (Rev.16:14)which
will end in A.D. 1915, with the complete overthrow of earth’s present rulership,
is already commenced.
3. The Finished Mystery
1917, pg 398,399,485........the people who are the strength of Christendom
shall be cut off in the brief but terribly eventful period beginning in
1918 A.D. A third part are “burned with fire in the mist of the city.”
.....After
1918 the people supporting churchianity will cease to be its, supporters,
be destroyed as adherents,...Also in the year 1918, when God destroys the
churches wholesale and the church members by the millions....
4. Vindication
1, 1931,pg146,338,339,....years 1914,1918 and 1925 ..... they also learned
to quit fixing dates for the future and predicting what would come to pass
on certain dates....
5. Wt,9/15/41,pg288,...in
the remaining months before Armageddon.
6. Wt,5/1/68,pg273,
Chart of dates 1975 end of 6th 1000-year day...2975 end of 7th 1000-year
day....
7. Aw,1/22/69,pg16,
Other Bible prophecies clearly foretell God’s purpose to bring this wicked
system to an end in a few years.
8. Aw,5/22/69,pg15,
If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will
never grow old in this present system of things. .....all evidence
in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is
due to end in a few years. ....as a young person you will never fulfill
any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and
thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps
even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But
where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the
way toward its finish, if not actually gone!
9. Wt,10/15/69,pg622,623,....seventh
millennium from man’s creation by Jehovah God would begin in less
than ten years.
H. They blamed other
religions for setting dates and called them false prophets.
1. Light 1930,pg 47, They
have been prophesying particularly since 1918, and everyone knows that
their prophecies to date have not come to pass; and that alone is
strong evidence that they are false prophets.
2. Wt,10/15/58,pg 613, “Sometime
between April 15 and 23, 1957, Armageddon will sweep the World!...” So
prophesied a certain California pastor Mihran Ask, in January 1957.....Such
false prophets tend to......
3. Aw,10/8/68,pg23, ...those
in times past who predicted an “end of the world”, even announcing a specific
date...they were guilty of false prophesying.
4 .Paradise Restored 1972,pg
353,354, Jehovah, the God of the true prophets, will put all false prophets
to shame either by not fulfilling the false prediction of such self-assuming
prophets or by having his own prophecies fulfilled in a way opposite to
that predicted by the false prophets. False prophets will try to hide who
they really are.
5. Wt,6/15/74,pg 381, Similarly
the false prophet” is not a person, but is a system or an organization.
A “ prophet” claims to have inspired information for the direction of others.
6. Aw,12/8/81,pg 14, Since
the Bible speaks about only” one faith,” All of today’s religious groups
outside the one true faith must, according to this standard, be counterfeits,
composite,” false prophets”
I. They predicted
other events.
1. Truth,1943,pg285,....Man
on earth can no more get rid of these demonic “heavens” than
man can by airplane or rockets or other means get up above the air
envelope...
2. Wt,7/15/60,pg444, In
1942 the “faithful and discreet slave” guided by Jehovah’s unerring spirit
made known that the democracies would win World War II ....”faithful and
discreet slave” has been tipped off ahead of time.....
J. They say they are not
a False Prophet.
1. Aw,3/22/93,pg3,4,
They do not claim that their predictions are direct revelations from
Jehovah and that in this sense they are prophesying in Jehovah’s name.
......when their words do not come true, they should bot be viewed as false
prophets....
K.The generation of 1914
that would not pass away has changed to a contemporary generation.
1. All the literature before 1995
spoke of the generation that was born or 10-15 years old during 1914.
2. Wt,11/1/95,pg14,... Jesus was
not departing from his established use of the term ‘this generation”
which he consistently applied to the contemporary masses.....
3. Wt.11/1/95,pg17,Rather than
provide a rule for measuring time, the term “generation” as used by Jesus
refers to a contemporary people of a certain historical period.....
4. Wt,11/1/95,pg19,Therefore,
in the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy today, “this generation” apparently
refers to the peoples of the earth who see the sign of Christ’s presence
but fail to mend their ways.
II Charles Taze Russell delt in pyramidolgy
, astrology , sungod emblems and Masonic imagery.
A. Russell measured pyramid
tunnels to come up with 1874, 1878, 1881, 1914 , 1915 and 1918 dates,
Rutherford continued this pyramidology until 1928 then said it was under
the direction of Satan the Devil.
1.Jehovah’s Witnesses Proclaimers
of God’s Kingdom 1993, pg 162, Has picture of a chart of the pyramids.
2.Thy Kingdom Come 3,1897(Studies
in Scriptures)pg 342, Then measuring down the“ Entrance Passage”....3416
inches symbolizing 3416 years ....This calculation shows A.D. 1874 as marking
the beginning of trouble.....the Pyramid witnesses that the close
of 1874 was the chronological beginning of the times if trouble....
3.Thy Kingdom Come 3,1916(Studies
in Scriptures)pg 342, Then measuring down the “Entrance Passage”....3457
inches symbolizing 3457 years ....This calculation shows A.D. 1915 as marking
the beginning of trouble....the Pyramid witnesses that the close
of 1914 was the chronological beginning of the times if trouble....
4.Zion’s Wt,5/1881,pg225,.....”grand
gallery” measures 1874 inches long at the top.....Now notice how aptly
these three distinct dates (1874,1878,1881,) are marked by the pyramid,
in ending the grand gallery.....
5.Zion’s Wt,9/1881,pg272,Diagram
of measurements of pyramids.
6.The Divine Plan of the
Ages,1910(Studies in Scriptures)pg front of book, Diagram of measurements
of pyramids.
7.Wt,10/1/1917,pg6149,...refers
to the Great Pyramid, the measurements of which confirm the Bible teaching
that 1878 marked the beginning of the harvest of the....
8.Wt,6/15/1922,pg187,....passages
of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh.... and at the same time proves the correctness
of the chronology.
9.Wt,5/15/1925,pg148,....Pyramid
of Egypt, standing as a silent and inanimate witness of the Lord, is a
messenger....
10.Wt,11/15/1928pg344,....the
great pyramid of Gizeh, as well as other pyramids thereabout, also the
sphinx, were built by rulers of Egypt and under the direction of
Satan the Devil.
11.Qualified to be Ministers,1955,pg304,...The
Divine Plan of the Ages.” It was very well received by the public, as is
attested by the fact that more than six million copies were distributed
over a forty-year period.
12.A Pyramid was erected
on the Bethal Family plot in Rosemont United Cemeteries, in Pittsburgh,
Pa. The size of pyramid is nine feet across the base, and is seven feet
in height, weighing several tons.
B. Russell used Masonic
imagery from the Knights Templar logo of the Masons as an emblem on the
cover of the Watchtower.
1.Jehovah’s Witnesses Proclaimers
of God’s Kingdom 1993, pg 88, Has a picture of emblem on Watchtower in
upper left hand corner, it’s a cross & crown and a armored knight
with two swords.
C. Russell used the
symbol of the sungod Ra on the covers of his books.
1.Jehovah’s Witnesses Proclaimers
of God’s Kingdom 1993,pg 88, Has a picture the books “The Finished
Mystery” and “ Pastor Russell’s Sermons” with the symbol on it.
2.Jehovah’s Witnesses Proclaimers
of God’s Kingdom 1993,pg 651, Has a picture the book “The Finished Mystery”
with the symbol on it.
D. Russell wrote about Astrology.
1.Zion’s Watchtower,5/01/1903,pg
127-131, We seriously question all the claims of Astrology; yet the following-from
whatever source the suggestions come, even though of the Adversary himself-seem
remarkably true to our expectations based upon the Word of the Lord, For
this reason alone we present them here as follows:-“Saturn is the representative
of the great motive power that has dominated the mind of man up to the
present time......Saturn-God to save his Throne......Jupiter, representing
law, religion and morality........Jupiter must also transfer his allegiance
from grasping Saturn to the newly discovered factor that stands for universal
brotherhood; namely, Uranus. When Uranus and Jupiter meet in the humane
sign of Aquarius in 1914......Uranus is preparing the way for Neptune,
who symbolizes Love in it’s very highest form - the fulfilling of the law.”
In 1903 Jupiter will be in the Sign of Pisces-sign of the feet, or
understanding.....
2.Zion’s Watchtower, 5/15/1895,pg1814,....system
of planets....common center,-the group Pleides, And the reasonable
suggestion has been made that the center may be the heavens of the
heavens, the highest heaven, the throne of God.
3.Wt,6/15/1915,pg5710, For
this reason the suggestion has been made that the Pleides may represent
the residence of Jehovah, the place from which he governs the universe.
4.Creation 1927,pg94, The
face of the deep , of course, would be toward Pleiades, which
are claimed to be the habitation of Jehovah.
5.Reconciliation 1928,pg14....It
has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of the
group is the dwelling place of Jehovah.
III The 1914 date is based on the
fall of Jerusalem in 607 B.C. during King Nebuchadnezzar’s time.
A. It was taught for years
that Jerusalem fell in 606 B.C. then quietly changed to 607 B.C. so the
numbers would add up.
1.Riches 1936, pg 60, Jerusalem
fell in 606 B.C.
2.Enemies 1937,pg 216, Jerusalem
fell in 606 B.C.
3.The Truth Shall Make You
Free 1943, pg236, Jerusalem fell in 606 B.C.
4.This Means Everlasting
Life 1950,pg 204, Jerusalem fell in 607 B.C.
B. All Encyclopedias disagree
with the 607 B.C. date. All historians point to a date twenty yearslater.
1.Britannica No 23 Knowledge
in Depth pg 885, The city fell in 587/586 and was completely destroyed.
2.The book of Knowledge
1991,book 10, pg 104, In 586 B.C., Jerusalem fell to the conquering Babylonians.
3.The World book on Encyclopedia
1990 book II , pg 99,In 587 or 586 B.C., the Babylonians conquered Judah
and destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem.
4.Encyclopedia Americana
1995, book21,pg304,...survived until 587 B.C, when King Nebuchadnezzar
of Babylonia destroyed Jerusalem and annexed Palestine.
5.Merit Students Encyclopedia,1987,
No 10,pg 159, In 597 B.C., King Nebuchadnezzar II, of Babylonia captured
Jerusalem, and in 586 B.C., after a Jewish rebellion, he destroyed the
city and took many of its inhabitants....
C. Ten of thousand of clay
cuneiform tablets were found in Mesopotamian area to back up the 587/586
B.C. as the all of Jerusalem.
1.Let Your Kingdom Come
1981,pg186, 187, Vat 4956: This is a cuneiform tablet that provides astronomical
information datable to 586 B.C.E. It says that the observations were from
Nebucahadnezzar’s 37th year. This would correspond to the chronology
that places the 18th regional year in 587/ 6 B.C.E. However, this
tablet is admittedly a copy made in the third century B.C.E so it is possible
that its historical information is simply that which was accepted in the
Seleucid period. Business
tablets: Thousands of contemporary Neo-Babylonian cuneiform tablets
have been found that record simple business transaction, stating
the year of the Babylonian king when the transaction occurred. Tablets
of this sort have been found for all the years of reign for known Neo-Babylonian
kings in the accepted chronology of the period.
D. Society ignores validablity
of tablets.
1.Let Your Kingdom Come
1981,pg186, 187, From a secular viewpoint, such lines of evidence might
seem to establish the Neo-Babylonia chronology with Nebuchadnezzar’s 18th
year ( and the destruction of Jerusalem) in 587/ 6 B.C.E. However, no historian
can deny the possibility that the present picture of Babylonian history
might be misleading or in error. .....the inspired Word of God it can be
used as a measuring rod in evaluating secular history and views.
E. Russell got the date
1914 originally from the pyramid measurements.
1.See Item II A
F. The 1914 date was to
be Armageddon as Russell preached, not Christ’s presence as taught today.
1.See Item I G
IV What would Jesus have examined,
when he made his decision to choose a pure organization in
1919?
A. Jesus would have examined
their leaders.
B. Jesus would have examined
their teachings.
C. Jesus would have examined
their latest literature.
V Did Jesus choose the “Faithful &
Discreet Slave” of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society in 1919 as
a pure and true organization? Lets examine their teachings in around that
time period to see just what Jesus would have seen.
A. Predicted Armageddon
in 1914, 1915, 1918
1.Zion’s Watchtower,1/15/1892,pg1355,...”battle”
is definitely marked in Scripture as October,1914.
2.The Time is at Hand1908,pg43,44,....the
“battle of the great day of God Almighty” (Rev.16:14)which will end in
A.D. 1915, with the complete overthrow of earth’s present rulership, is
already commenced.
3.The Finished Mystery 1917,
pg 398,399,485........the people who are the strength Of Christendom
shall be cut off in the brief but terribly eventful period beginning in1918
A.D. A third part are “burned with fire in the mist of the city.” .....After
1918 the people supporting churchianity will cease to be its, supporters,
be destroyed as adherents,... Also in the year 1918, when God destroys
the churches wholesale and the church members by the millions....
B. Taught pyramidolgy
and astrology.
1. See section II A &
D
C. Used the sungod emblems
and the masonic imagery.
1. See section II B &
C
D. Did not used the name
Jehovah on a regular basis for the first forty years.
E. Celebrated Christmas,
New Years and Birthdays.
1.Jehovah’s Witnesses Proclaimers
of God’s Kingdom 1993, pg 200, Christmas.
2.Zion’s Watchtower,Jan.1886,pg817,
May it be to all of you “A Happy New Year”....
3.Jehovah’s Witnesses Proclaimers
of God’s Kingdom 1993, pg 201, Birthday.
F. Saluted the Flag.
1.Wt,5/15/1917,pg6086reprint,....everyone
in America should take pleasure in displaying the American flag...Since
the Bethal Home was established in one end of the Drawing Room there has
been kept a small bust of Abraham Lincoln with two American flags displayed
about the bust, This is deemed entirely proper.
G. Taught the White race
was superior, and Blacks could change to White in the “New System”.
1.Zion’s Wt,10/1/1900,pg
2706reprint, Though once as black as charcoal, the Rev. Mr. Draper is now
white. His people say that his color was changed in answer to prayer.
2.Zion’s Wt,7/15/1902,pg3043reprint,
While it is true that the white race exhibits some qualities of superiority
over any other, we are to remember that there are wide differences in the
same Caucasian (Semitic and Arvan) family...
3.Zion’s Wt,2/15/1904,pg3320reprint,
How can all men be brought to perfection and which color of skin was the
original? The answer is now provided. God can change the Ethiopian’s skin
in his own due time.
VI The above described teachings around
the 1919 date are 180 degrees opposite to what is taught now.
A. If the teachings were
correct in 1919, when Jesus chose the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society,
Jesus would have to abandon the WTBTS now because their belief system
is totally reversed.
B. If the teachings are
correct now, they were therefore wrong then, so on what
basis would the WTBTS have been chosen?
VII Jehovah’s Witnesses didn’t recognize the
1914 date for Jesus’ second presence, they thought the presence
was 1874 up until the year 1943.
1.God’s Kingdom of a Thousand Years
has Approached 1973, pg 206,209
2.Prophecy 1929, pg 65,66
VIII Why are you baptized in the Father, the
Son and the Spirit of the Organization?
A. Baptized only in the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
1.Wt.7/1/55,pg411, A Christian,
therefore, cannot be baptized in the name of the one actually doing the
immersing or in the name of any man, nor in the name of any organization,
but in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy spirit. This shows,
among other things, that Christianity is not a denominational affair, that
sects have nothing to do with it.
B. Now Baptized in the Father,
the Son and the spirit-directed organization.
1.Wt.6/1/85,pg30, Do you
understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s
Witnesses in association with God’s spirit Directed organization?
Now this is how the Society really feels about
examination of their beliefs.
1.Wt,2/1/52,pg79-80, If we
do not see a point at first we should keep trying to grasp it, rather than
opposing and rejecting it and presumptuously taking the position that we
are more likely to be right than the discreet slave. We should meekly go
along with the Lord’s theocratic organization and wait for further clarification......
2.Qualified to be Ministers
1955,pg156, If we have love for Jehovah and for the organization of his
people we shall not be suspicious, but shall, as the Bible says, ’believe
all things,’ all the things that The Watchtower brings out, in as much
as it has been faithful in giving us knowledge of God’s purposes.....
3. Wt.5/1/57,pg283-285,We
will not ‘forsake our mother’s teaching’ by immediately beginning to criticize
and find fault.....gratefully and willingly show our respect for Jehovah’s
organization, for she is our mother and the beloved wife of our heavenly
Father....
4.Wt.6/1/67,pg 338,...in
Jehovah’s organization it is not necessary to spend a lot of time and energy
in research, for there are brothers in the organization who are assigned
to that very thing....
5.Wt.8/1/67, pg469-470 It
is true that some points are difficult to grasp at first, but instead of
complaining or arguing about them...... it may be better to leave it alone
for a while, waiting further clarification....we must avoid complaining
even about small things....
6.Wt.1/15/83,pg 27,....some
who point out that the organization has had to make some adjustments before,
and so they argue: “This shows that we have to make up our own mind on
what to believe.” This is independent thinking. Why is it so dangerous?
7.Wt. 3/1/91,pg15, If we
are Jehovah’s Witnesses, we should remember that our lives and others depend
upon our obedience. Each Witness needs to keep pace with Jehovah’s organization.
8.Wt.7/194,pg12-13, As loyal
servants of Jehovah, why would we even want to peek at the propaganda put
out by rejecters of Jehovah’s table...
It is not wrong for a person to expose
a false religion.
1. Wt.11/15/63,pg688-689,
It is not a form of religious persecution for anyone to say and show that
another religion is false. Why should anyone practice
a religion unless he is convinced that it is true and right?
*** Rbi8 Matthew 12:36-37 ***
36 I tell YOU that every unprofitable saying
that men speak, they will render an account
concerning it on Judgment Day; 37 for by your
words you will be declared righteous,
and by your words you will be condemned.”
*** Rbi8 Deuteronomy 18:20-22 ***
20 “‘However, the prophet who presumes to
speak in my name a word that I have not
commanded him to speak or who speaks in the
name of other gods, that prophet must
die. 21 And in case you should say in your
heart: “How shall we know the word that
Jehovah has not spoken?” 22 when the prophet
speaks in the name of Jehovah and
the word does not occur or come true, that
is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With
presumptuousness the prophet spoke it. You
must not get frightened at him.’
*** Rbi8 1 John 4:1 ***
4 Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired
expression, but test the inspired
expressions to see whether they originate
with God, because many false prophets
have gone forth into the world.
*** Rbi8 Ezekiel 13:8-9 ***
8 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord
Jehovah has said: “‘For the reason that
YOU men have spoken untruth and YOU have visioned
a lie, therefore here I am against
YOU,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord
Jehovah.” 9 And my hand has come to be
against the prophets that are visioning untruth
and that are divining a lie. In the intimate group
of my people they will not continue on, and
in the register of the house of Israel they will not be
written, and to the soil of Israel they will
not come; and YOU people will have to know that I am
the Sovereign Lord Jehovah,
*** Rbi8 Matthew 7:15-16 ***
15 “Be on the watch for the false prophets
that come to YOU in sheep’s covering, but
inside they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their
fruits YOU will recognize them. Never do
people gather grapes from thorns or figs from
thistles, do they?
*** Rbi8 2 Peter 2:1 ***
2 However, there also came to be false prophets
among the people, as there will also
be false teachers among YOU. These very ones
will quietly bring in destructive sects and
will disown even the owner that bought them,
bringing speedy destruction upon themselves.
*** Rbi8 Ephesians 5:6-10 ***
6 Let no man deceive YOU with empty words,
for because of the aforesaid things the
wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Therefore do not become
partakers with them; 8 for YOU were once darkness,
but YOU are now light in
connection with [the] Lord. Go on walking
as children of light, 9 for the fruitage of the
light consists of every sort of goodness and
righteousness and truth. 10 Keep on
making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord;
