Although Jehovah's Witnesses say that the source of their teaching and information is the Bible, is this true? No! How do we know? Here are two examples:
- في كتابهم “قيثارة الله” ( ص 203 ) قالوا: “أما الجسد الذي بذله يسوع على الصليب ودفن في القبر فقد أخرجه الملاك من القبر بقوة الله الخارقة وأخفاه”. من أين جاؤوا بهذا الكلام؟ أمن الكتاب المقدس؟ كلا، أبداَ!
- وفي كتابهم “هذه هي الحياة الأبدية” ( ص 289 ) قالوا: “إن يسوع المسيح هو الملاك العظيم الموفد من قبل الله….إنه رئيس الملائكة المدعو ميخائيل”. أين نجد في كل الكتاب المقدّس أن يسوع المسيح هو رئيس الملائكة ميخائيل؟ ولا في مكان!
What do we conclude then? We simply conclude that Jehovah's Witnesses are liars.
ويدّعي شهود يهوه – كما في مجلة برج المراقبة (ص 187 ) من عدد كانون الأول 1955 – “إن الدين الواحد الباقي بعد الغربلة هو الدين الصحيح الذي يعتنقه شهود يهوه وحدهم”. وفي نظرهم أن الدين الصحيح هوالذي ينسجم تماما مع الكتاب المقدس “الحق الذي يقود إلى الحياة الابدية” (ص 15). إذاً، يدّعي شهود يهوه أن تعليمهم منسجم تماماً مع الكتاب المقدّس “الحق الذي يقود إلى الحياة الأبدية” ( ص 15). لنرَ إذا كان هذا الكلام صحيحاً أم لا!
عام 1920 نشر القاضي روذرفورد (الرئيس الثاني للجماعة) كتاباً عنوانه “ملايين من الذين هم أحياء اليوم لن يموتوا أبدا”. في هذا الكتاب قال: “إننا نتوقع بتأكيد أن تكون سنة 1925 وقت رجوع ابراهيم واسحاق ويعقوب وقدماء الأنبياء المؤمنين إلى حالة الكمال الإنساني” (ص96). وأضاف في الصفحتين 103 و104 أنه “بناءً على المواعيد الظاهرة في الكلمة الإلهية يجب أن نصل إلى نتيجة أكيدة لا ترد وهي أن ملايين من الذين هم أحياء اليوم لن يموتوا ابدا”. ثم ختم في الصفحة 106 بالقول:” عندما يبتدىء التجديد، كل الموتى يبعثون من قبورهم ويعادون إلى الحياة بالترتيب”.
This statement had a great impact on the souls of Jehovah's Witnesses at that time. Why? Because Rutherford considered himself and his followers considered him a prophet inspired by God.
So what of his predictions came true in 1925. Where are the manifest promises they saw in the divine word? Where are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the ancient faithful prophets? Where are the millions who will never die? And where are the dead, all the dead who will rise from their graves?
Where and where?! All of this has no effect except in the imagination of Jehovah's Witnesses!
على الأقل يتوقع المرء أن يكون روذرفورد قد بقي حياً… إلى الأبد. لكنه مات في 8 كانون الثاني 1942.
What do we conclude then? We conclude that Jehovah's Witnesses are false teachers and false interpreters.
Jehovah's Witnesses twist the Bible in the direction they want. They put black and white together to sometimes lead you to the strangest conclusions. Then they tell you: This is what the Bible says!
Look at this sample for example:
موضوع الدم – والكلام مستعار من كتابهم “الحق الذي يقود إلى الحياة الابدية” (ص164 –170).
They say that God forbade eating animal blood because life is in the blood. This is based on Leviticus 17. Then they say that human blood is also forbidden to eat because it is no less holy than animal blood. Then they say that transfusing blood to a sick person is a way of eating, as evidenced by the fact that a person who cannot eat food by mouth is given a serum by vein. Therefore, they conclude that God’s law forbids transfusing blood from one person to another.
If we accept what they claim, we would have to say that a father who sees his son – the apple of his eye – struggling with death, and is in need of his father’s blood that he is able to give him, this father must let his son die in order not to violate God’s law. This is crazy talk! How can a father let his son die if he is able to save him? Doesn’t his love for his son require him to give, even his own blood, to save his life?! Isn’t a father giving his son some of his blood an act of love? Isn’t love the goal of the law (1 Timothy 1:5)? How can love be contrary to the law?! How can a father’s action be contrary to the law?! Indeed, if the father does not give his son some of his blood at this critical time, he would be contrary to the law!
What do we conclude then? We conclude that Jehovah's Witnesses are corrupt in mind, playing with words and distorting the Bible. The words of the Apostle Paul to his disciple Timothy are true about them (2 Timothy 3): "In the last days perilous times will come, for men will be traitors, having a form of godliness but denying its power; they will enter every home and resist the truth. They will be corrupt in mind and reprobate concerning the faith; they will be evil impostors, going from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you, continue in the things you have learned and have been convinced of, knowing from whom you learned them."
