JWs Unknowingly Reject Christ as the Mediator!
They falsely teach that Christ is a Mediator only for 144,000!
By Nab B.
The organization teaches that Jesus is a Mediator ONLY for the 144,000 anointed class, but not for the other sheep! This deliberately eliminates Jesus Christ to be your Mediator!
Take a second look at 1 Tim 2:5:
"There is only ONE Mediator between God and MEN [mankind], the man Jesus Christ."
It clearly states that Christ is the Mediator between God and all people. To claim that ‘all people’ refers only to 144,000 is misleading and false! "All people" are all those who accept and believe in Jesus Christ. This is easily seen in these passages:
"But AS MANY AS received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." (John 1:12)
"That WHOSOEVER [Gk: pas; means all] believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
"He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." (1 John 2:2)
To put it succinctly:
Anyone, whosoever, all people, and as many as it takes, who accept Christ, He becomes their Mediator. They become born-again sons and daughters of God.
Your organization usurps Christ’s role and sets itself up as the mediator, the sole channel, between God and the other sheep.
The consequences of not having Jesus Christ as your Mediator are tragic! As a starter, you lose access to God, no matter how hard you try. It was not for nothing that Jesus said, “NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT through me.” (John 14:6b)
A true born-again believer is drawn by the Holy Spirit to God and Jesus Christ, not a human organization!
