Who is your mediator?

 

The Watchtower teaches that Jesus is only the mediator for the "anointed class"

"Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members." Worldwide Security Under the "Prince of Peace" (1986) pp.10 (16)-11

"So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the "mediator" only for anointed Christians." Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31  


If Jesus is only the mediator for the 144,000 anointed, who is mediator for the "great crowd"?

"The "great crowd" of "other sheep" that is forming today is not in that new covenant. However, by their associating with the "little flock" of those yet in that covenant they come under benefits that flow from that new covenant." Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31

Without a mediator, you are still dead in your sin

Scripture says that Jesus is our mediator, and his ransom is for all.

1 Tim 2:5-6 "one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all."

ELF Lesson 20 - GB

GB history:  January 1st 1976, authority shifted from the President to Governing Body members   Lesson 20:   " the Governing Bo dy gives direction to the global congregation.But these men are not the leaders of our organization."   v.s. Lesson 54 Q: where is the proof that Jesus appointed these men?  Q: if all rules (appearance, behaviour, disfellowshiping) come from the governing body, how can they claim that they don't lead the organization?  Q: does that mean that there is a secret, unknown leader above the governing body that makes all of the decisions?
