:::When I say regarding the WTS, it is a given that that organization has promulgated falsities , just what do you think I mean?/ Friend
You acknowledge that they made mistakes but you quote things like this:
:::So, we can
conclude that, among people willingly pursuing God�s will including preaching the gospel, even if there exists the obvious unchristian behavior or false prophecy, Jesus provides time to repent and change. How long? All we know is that the
revelation seems to indicate that as a community that relevant circumstance had
been allowed decades to be repented of and changed; finally, Jesus stepped in and demanded that things change now (then). / Friend
:::In fact, as we
continue through this discussion we shall see clearly that God has taken a different view of individuals falsely prophesying or even communities supporting false prophesying./ Friend
:::Having been abolished, strictly speaking, the decree found at DT (Deuteronomy 18:20-22) cannot be used to judge false prophets./ Friend
The Bible is very clear about false prophesying. Anyone who falsely claims to speak in God's name or who falsely claims that God has put his
words in their mouth is a false prophet and is under God's condemnation.
:::Regarding DT (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), my discussion herein will allow that text to apply to all manner of prophesying though I don�t personally believe that to be the case. Personally, I believe that text to only apply to people claiming Divine predictive ability and not to people who may incorrectly understand and so proclaim God�s already spoken word, even if therein is some supposed prediction. / Friend
The Society calls all other religions false prophets and we all know they are not Devinely inspired. If the Society acknowledges the others as false then why can't you acknowledge the Society as for who they really are: a
False Prophet?
