"1 God, who long ago spoke on many occasions and in many ways to our forefathers by means of the prophets, 2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things..." Hebrews 1:1,2
The WTBTS/GBoJW avoid reference to this scripture. Could be due to it undermining their claim to FDS status? Maybe a good reasoning point with JW's?
Yup, they ignore Heb 1:1,2 just as they ignore other Scriptures on this theme. The one about "One mediator between God and men" for example would exclude them from their claimed role as sole expounders of God's Word.
I am sure there are many more.
Maybe a good reasoning point with JW's?
If all you want to do is trying to reason with them, yes.
Don't forget that JWs believe that those scriptures weren't for us "the rank and file". They are directed to the anointed.
Yeah, except the Bioble doesn't say that it's only for a select group.

WT used to reference Tyndale:
I defie the Pope and all his lawes. If God spare my life, ere many yeares I wyl cause a boy that driveth the plough to know more of the Scripture, than he doust.
