. • Philippians 2:5-6 . . Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. Probably the best way to interpret that passage is to go all the way back to the very beginning. Adam and Eve came into the world in...

. John 1:1-3, John 1:14, and 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 strongly suggest that Christ exists as a spirit being and a material being simultaneously. How an existence like that is even remotely possible, I honestly don't know. It's one of Christianity's many supernatural elements that Jesus'...

. Continued From No.964 The Watchtower Society's Jesus is dead and his remains hidden away somewhere on Earth. (Watchtower magazine, April 15, 1963, p. 237) This is a very good example of Watchtower double-speak. When they say Jesus, they're actually talking about an angel whose real name is...

. Continued From No.962 The rank and file are in a bit of a Catch 22 First they are cautioned the Society is neither inspired nor infallible. Then they are urged to accept the Society's teaching as the providence of God. "Those who are convinced that The Watchtower is publishing the opinion...

. It's not all that difficult to trace Jesus' origin to David, and from thence to Adam, and from thence to dust. Jesus became an heir of David by means of Mary's direct participation in his conception. Simultaneously, Jesus became an heir of God by means of direct participation in his...

. In addition to the Society's disclaimer reviewed in post No.32 -- there's a recommendation for its literature on page 5 of the Jan 01, 1942 issue of the Watchtower magazine where it's stated: "Those who are convinced that The Watchtower is publishing the opinion or expression of a man should...

. Continued From No.918 The Bible's high priesthood is a channel between Man and God that-- to my knowledge --has never been held by angels. It's always been held by human beings; specifically male human beings; beginning in the Old Testament with a mysterious guy named Melchizedek. (Gen...

. Continued From No.906 If asked its opinion of the discussion above; the Watchtower Society would robustly disagree with the reply; yet the Society's published doctrine supports it. The Word's life force was transferred to Mary's ovum so as not to lose his continuity of life. (Watchtower...
