The Current Teaching Of The Watchtower Society:
The Watchtower Society claims that only the 144,000 individuals (a figure arrived at from the pages of the Book of Revelation) can actually understand the Bible. It is an organizational book - a book given to an organization and not to individuals. It can be interpreted and explained only by God's own designated organization, the Watchtower Society. The organization's interpretations and explanations are found on the pages of the Watchtower publications.
What the Bible Says about...UNDERSTANDING THE SCRIPTURES:
| 1. The Bible Teaches That ANY Spirit-Filled Believer In Jesus Christ Can Have A Practical Understanding Of The Bible: | |
|---|---|
| If he is spiritual | 1Cr 2:4-16 |
| If he has the Holy Spirit | Jhn 14:25-26 |
| If he lets the Holy Spirit guide him | Jhn 16:13-15 |
| If he does not depend on man's wisdom | 1Cr 2:9-14 |
| If he lets the Bible instruct him - not the Watchtower Society | 2Ti 3:16 |
| If he searches the scriptures regularly, daily | Act 17:11 |
| If he seeks to get his approval from the Bible | 2Ti 2:15 |
| If Christ is his only Master | Mat 23:8-12 |
| 2. The Bible Teaches That All True Believers Are Of Equal Value Before God; No One Has A Special Interpretive Right To The Bible: | |
|---|---|
| Believers are one in Christ | Jhn 17:20-23 |
| Believers share a common teacher, the Holy Spirit | Eph 4:4, 5 |
