Is the Governing Body's "Life-Saving Direction" Based on the Word of God?

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.”  Acts 1:7

Yes. He said that because they had been wildly anticipating and speculating as to just when the end will come, imagining it imminent.

I choose God’s word in Christ. 

In that case, you will be delighted to reflect upon how Christ kept those humans in their respective stations despite this failing. You will put aside your unhinged hatred of the Governing Body and come on board with their program.

Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”  Acts 1:6

They asked this based on knowing Jesus was the promised Messiah through scripture.  They were ignorant to what would happen next.  They were taught by Jesus to understand, that more was to occur before the end came, and they never set a date for it after Jesus was resurrected.  They heeded Christ's words.

Your leaders had this account to refer to, to learn from;  but they didn't just "ask", they went ahead and created a date, more than once. They rejected what Jesus said in Acts 1:7.

Where the “Gentile” man of lawlessness “sits” in the Temple of God and rules over these living stones? (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17)  Where the elder body is "standing where it should not be"?  No. We are to flee the organization when we perceive the takeover of the Temple in the anointed.    Matt 24:15-16; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1,2

Jesus’ spirit is not there. Dan 8:11-12

"But your example seems to be saying that it has its predictable drawbacks which will need to be discarded for another version."

this is how your weak attempts at twisting the words and their context completely fails..really fails

 

 

 

 

Do you believe their are some predictable drawbacks to the new "this generation" teaching?
