“Your Leader Is One, the Christ”

“Do not . . . be called ‘leaders,’ for your Leader is one, the Christ.” —MATT. 23:9, 10.

  1. CHRISTENDOM’S churches have human leaders, such as the pope of Rome, the patriarchs and metropolitans of the Eastern Orthodox churches, and the heads of other religions. Jehovah’s Witnesses recognize no human as their leader. They are not disciples or followers of any man. This is in line with Jehovah’s prophetic utterance concerning his Son: “Look! As a witness to the national groups I have given him, as a leader and commander to the national groups.” (Isa. 55:4) The international congregation of anointed Christians and their “other sheep” companions want no leader other than the one Jehovah has given them. (John 10:16) They subscribe to Jesus’ statement: “Your Leader is one, the Christ.”—Matt. 23:10.

And then there’s this...

  • 8. Also by means of holy spirit, Christ gave “gifts in men,” some “as shepherds and teachers” in the congregation. (Eph. 4:8, 11) The apostle Paul urged Christian overseers: “Pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the holy spirit has appointed you overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God.” (Acts 20:28) When the Christian congregation began, all these overseers were spirit-anointed men. The apostles and the elders of the Jerusalem congregation acted as a governing body. Christ used this instrument to lead the entire group of his anointed “brothers” on earth. (Heb. 2:11; Acts 16:4, 5) In this time of the end, Christ has committed “all his belongings”—all the earthly interests of the Kingdom—to his “faithful and discreet slave” and its representative Governing Body, a group of anointed Christian men. (Matt. 24:45-47) The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day Governing Body, they are in fact following their Leader, Christ.

@Jack Ryan Unless said men are of the church and are taking the command of the Christ, at the same time being of total servitude of God, thus, under God, guides the flock, the people of the church, for these so called men of the church are as if they are shepherds.

But clearly when one tries to dwell on the Bible alone, they think men become souls and or become as if they are angel hybrids, for if you do not some elementary guidance from a guide, a shepherd, you are going to wall of a cliff. If you are in error and someone corrects you, you do the research, otherwise you will fall of a cliff. If you do not know where you are walking.... You are going to fall off a cliff.

 

Pretty much you can easily fall off a cliff at any given time, furtively, and yes, to some degree, literally.

 

Also the final part of that verse even tells is of men who turn away from God, why didn't you also highlight that part? So your next problem is men who didn't turn away from God. What of it then?
