This all bewilders me. I have a good friend who is a Jehovah's Witness. I also have a neighbor who is Jehovah's Witness. My neighbor told me that Jesus was not God, and quoted John 14:28 You have heard Me tell you, 'I am going away and I am coming to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
When I explained Christ now sat on the right hand of God after his crucifixion She said "I go by scripture, turned on her heel and marched out of my house and hasn't been back.
My other Jehovah Witness friend and I had a delightful four hour discussion about scripture. We agreed on many points, he was well versed in scripture and spoke of scripture, not what someone's viewpoint was of scripture. If we disagreed, we worked it out together, sometimes each sure we were right, but we each enjoyed the searching for truth.
I can't think of anyone in my own church who could enjoy a whole afternoon exploring what God tells us in scripture.
I wonder how God views us as we see darkly, and don't understand some things of scripture correctly? I am sure that we all do it at some point. At the same time, we are warned and warned of people being false in their teaching.
