Jehovah's Witnesses and Old Light, New Light

[Berean]

Old Light, New Light​

It would seem as we look back at Watchtower beliefs, particularly since they took the name: Jehovah's Witnesses, that they are guilty of flip-flopping and using Proverbs 4:18 as their reason for doing so. When we look at the following quote, it would seem that the Society's leadership would light a gas jet to see a few feet in front of them, as they light the next one they turn off the previous ones, so that at any given time they only have enough light to see a few feet. Had they heeded the counsel of Pastor Russell they would see that instead of "substituting" they see "the true increase is by adding to, not by substituting one for another"

"If we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now: But with God there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning., and so it is with truth; any knowledge or light coming from God must be like its author. A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth. "New Light" never extinguishes older "Light," but adds to it. If you were lighting up a building containing seven gas jets you would not extinguish one every time you lighted another, but would add one light to another and they would be in harmony and thus give increase of light; So is it with the light of truth; the true increase is by adding to, not by substituting one for another" [ZWT, 02/1881, pg. 188]

Religion(s) adapt by 'adjusting' the scriptures.

Whereas God established Truth for us beginning in Genesis and building upon it = Light upon Light upon Light

"having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,"

We have found here Adam & Eve you are correct about the issue of getting your foundation in Genesis wrong.

@Kiew says: "Jesus teaches to seek-HIS(Jehovah) righteousness first-Matt 6:33. All true followers do just that."


Matt 6:33 - "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,"

So i asked him this:
Is this the same Kingdom as spoken of in Colossians 1:13 ???

"He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son"
