Sunspot:
IF C T Russell indeed HAD "the truth".....wouldn't it have withstood the test of time and remained the truth if it DID have "God's spirit"?
I didn't mean Russell was perfect or had the whole truth... I meant, I believe he had God's spirit, because he had a lot of good truths. He was all wrong on prophesy but to me, had a lot of the basic doctrine good. For ex.:
Trinity(not) , Hellfire (not), using God's name, preaching, the kingdom being a government, the clergy and laity separation (not), wrong to have a controlling org., soul and spirit (pretty good def..but a little off), ghenna, hades, sheol, (not too far off). And other things..I think were pretty good. But nothing since him.......After him...alot of bad. Just my opinion...
