YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!
"So never let us push proudly ahead with our own ideas or react negatively to organizational changes or to adjusted explanations of certain scriptures. ( Eccl. 7:8) If you detect even a hint of such a tendency in yourself, why not meditate prayerfully on the timely principles found in Acts chapter 15?"
I HOPE YOU ARE ALL BUSY ‘meditating prayerfully’ LIKE CRAZY NOW.
I did just as they said and on 1 Corinthians 8 & 10 and on Romans 7 and Galatians 5:18 "If you are being led by spirit, you are not under the law." And came up with completely the opposite conclusion, that I think that is plain enough that I am not under the Mosaic law, the apostles law, the GB’s law, or anyone else’s law. MY CONSCIENCE IS MY LAW.
That paragraph was from the new book ‘Bearing Thorough Witness About God’s Kingdom.’ Chapter 13 ‘There had Occurred No Little Dissension’ based on Acts 15:1-12 par. 12
Paragraph 9 said:
"One valuable lesson we learn is that we need to trust God’s organisation. Consider: The brother’s in Antioch knew that the governing body was made up entirely of Christians of Jewish background. Yet they trusted that body to settle the question of circumcision in harmony with the Scriptures. Why? The congregation was confident that Jehovah would direct matters by means of his holy spirit and the Head of the Christian congregation, Jesus Christ. (Matt. 28:18, 20; Eph. 1:2. 23) When serious issues arise today, let us imitate the fine example of the believers in Antioch by trusting God’s organization and its Governing Body of anointed Christians, who represent "the faithful and discreet slave." - Matt. 24:45.
I notice the governing body of the early Christians didn’t get a capital G & B, but the Governing Body of today did!!!!
ME THINKS YOU ARE ALL SPOT ON WITH YOUR ANALYSIS GUYS.
