Charles Taze Russel Believed In The Divinity Of Christ. by Sand2022: 4:39pm On Sep 28, 2023
I stumbled unto this page in the Finished Mystery of Jehovah's Witnesses that spoke of what Russell believed. The book says:

"... We affirm that the Word (Logos) was made flesh—became the Babe of Bethlehem—thus becoming the Man Jesus, ‘holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners.’ As we affirm the humanity of Jesus, we equally affirm the Divinity of Christ—‘God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name above every name.’ (Heb. 7:26; Phil. 2:9.)

“We acknowledge that the personality of the Holy Spirit is the Father and the Son; that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both, and is manifested in all who receive the begetting of the Holy Spirit and thereby become sons of God. (John 1:12; 1 Pet. 1:3.)"

Finished Mystery page 71 and 72.

We can notice that even the holy spirit was not believed to be active force, but manifested in the Father and Son.

Yet God supposedly used him for believing what JWs today will call falsehood. No wonder they no longer print such book and is not even in their library.

Charles and his colleagues were making research regarding what is wrong with Christendom churches so everything they believe back then is exactly what they all got from Christendom churches until Jesus returned in the year 1914 to correct them and gradually God's people were totally freed from all the LIES of Christendom Churches! John 8:32

Today God's organization has grown past all the nonsense and Ingredients they got from Christendom churches that's why the true God began calling us by another group name:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15 smiley

No argument.
If true Christianity was not lost along the way, and the Roman Catholic didn't take over the church, JWs organization wouldn't be here today.

Since there was no church or group adhering to the pure doctrines of the Bible, the churches existing were heavily influenced by the Roman Catholics dogmas, Russell started questioning their strange doctrines and formed a group for the extensive study and research of the scripture.

Remember they didn't get all the truths in a day, they started from the dogmas of the Roman Catholics and they kept unveiling scripture truths and here we are today.

Hahahahahaha

Their fake doctrine of "Jesus" returning in 1914 is based solely on their claim that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BCE.

But scholars and archeologists have proven on many counts that Jerusalem was destroyed in 586/587 BCE.

This fact alone completely destroys their fake doctrine of "Jesus" returning in 1914.

Some days, I still can't believe that I used to buy into that BS.

Moreso, even "Jesus" said he knew neither the day nor the hour he would return.

NIV, St. Matthew 24:36
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

The funny thing is that after leaving the Roman Catholic church, they still stuck to the core doctrines of the church. Trinity dogma for example.

Here is your Russell again grin grin

“We found that for centuries various sects and parties had split up the Bible doctrines amongst them, blending them with more or less of human speculation and error . . . We found the important doctrine of justification by faith and not by works had been clearly enunciated by Luther and more recently by many Christians; that divine justice and power and wisdom were carefully guarded tho not clearly discerned by Presbyterians; that Methodists appreciated and extolled the love and sympathy of God; that Adventists held the precious doctrine of the Lord’s return; that Baptists amongst other points held the doctrine of baptism symbolically correctly, even tho they had lost sight of the real baptism; that some Universalists had long held vaguely some thoughts respecting ‘restitution.’ And so, nearly all denominations gave evidence that their founders had been feeling after truth: but quite evidently the great Adversary had fought against them and had wrongly divided the Word of God which he could not wholly destroy.”

The Finished Mystery was published way after 1914. So Jesus supposedly abandoned Christendom as you say, and appointed someone with falsehood in his basket?

If as at the time, they had Christendom lies as you say, on what basis were they then chosen as the true religion? Or are they true falsehood religion? Ok give us a date when all false religious teachings were all clear out.

2. When Russell taught his followers to revere pyramid of Giza in Egypt, was that also a teaching gotten from Christendom? When they arrived at the end of the world in 1914, and 1925 was that also a false teaching gotten from Christendom that Jesus wants to purge out? When Russell was called the Faithful and Discreet slave, was that also gotten from Christendom? Lest I forgot, which Christendom church ever taught that Holy Spirit manifested in the personality of The Father and the Son? Were they not rather teaching God the Holy Spirit?

Jesus WAS CORRECTING them just as he did when he was here in the flesh and don't forget that most of the things he taught them face to face they missed that's why he had to repeat it over and over until they're able to grasp it.

So it's the same Jesus o {Hebrews 13:8} he will never ever condemn his willing students as long as they're ready to welcome correction! smiley
