God Has No Organization!
Why would God need men when the Holy Spirit is given freely?
By Nab B.
Titles such as ‘Jehovah’s Organization’ and ‘God’s Channel’ seem to condition JWs to believe that God and Christ need an organization to function on earth.
Why God Does Not Have An Organization
First, God and Christ never mentioned they needed one! The word ‘organization’ is not in the scriptures. This alone proves my point! If your organization can make a big deal regarding the absence of the word ‘Trinity’ in the Bible, as proof of its non-existence (which is true), shouldn’t the same argument be applied to the word ‘organization’ as well? I think so!
Second, the JW organization is made up of a self-appointed group of men claiming to be God’s SOLE channel on earth!
God Speaks Through His Son
You might argue that God needs a channel to speak to us. God speaks to us ONLY through His Son (by revelations) through the Holy Spirit in born-again believers:
"But in these last days [from the day of Pentecost forward], He has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things.” (Heb 1:1-2)
This doesn’t nullify the need for loving shepherds, teachers, and servants (under Christ) to teach and encourage new believers to grow in the faith. But they have no governing authority whatsoever over believers’ lives. Such authority belongs only to Christ who said:
"All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.” (Matt 28:18).
Christ has No Need for an Organization to Lead!
Below is a sample of scriptures proving that Christ does not need any human organization:
Christ is the only name or authority (no organization needed):
“Salvation exists IN NO ONE ELSE, for there is no other name [authority] under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
But the JW organization equates itself with Christ claiming that no one can be saved outside the JW organization!
Jesus warned, “Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.” (Matt 24:5)
Christ saves COMPLETELY (He doesn't need organizational help):
“He [Jesus] is also able to save COMPLETELY those who are approaching God through him because he is always alive to plead for them.” (Heb 7:25)
Christ fully directs and reproves, disciplines, and saves believers through the operation of the Holy Spirit; not a governing body of men!
Jesus is the HEAD of the Christian Congregation (No other Head):
"And He is the HEAD of the body, the congregation." (Col 1:18)
True Christians submit only to ONE head! They cannot be governed by MEN while claiming Christ as their Head. For those who do, Christ ceases to be their Head however sincere they are!
God And Christ Use Humble Servants
Recognize that God and Christ DO NOT operate through ANY organization (large or small). In their infinite wisdom, they use the most humble, weak, and ordinary individual believers to accomplish their extraordinary work. This has always been their pattern and still is:
“God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise and…the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong.” (1 Cor 1:27)
“My power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor 12:9).
