Is Jesus mediator only for the “anointed class” of JW’s?
Post #1If true, then WHO mediates for the rest of the Jehovah’s Witnesses?
”For unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24

Post #101Peace to you,
It has nothing to do with 'like' or 'dislike'; it has to do with the fact that your claim is untrue. You have provided no scripture stating that Christians will reign over other Christians. There is no such teaching in what is written. Christ did not teach it. The apostles did not teach it. Paul did not teach it.
Peace again to you.

If one isn't a Christian that is going to be a King and priest then what are they?
Possibly a disciple not (yet) anointed with holy spirit.
But all Christians are the Bride, the Church, the Body of Christ. There was no such teaching from Christ or the apostles or Paul as a Christian who was not part of the Body of Christ, who was not the Church, the Bride. ALL Christians were the Bride, the Church, the Body of Christ.
Peace again to you.
If one is not a Christian reigning in the Kingdom, then one is a non-Christian (not reigning in the Kingdom).

Isaiah 32:1, 2 is clearly part of a Messianic prophecy and describes the benefits rendered by such “princes” under the Kingdom rule. Compare Heb 2:5, 8, "For it is not to angels that he has subjected the inhabited earth to come, about which we are speaking." BTW Paul wrote that.

and rulers will rule with justice.
Isaiah speaks of there being a king and rulers. Something I have certainly never argued against.
What the verse does not say is that Christians will reign over other Christians.

Post #107Peace to you,
How else am I supposed to answer that other than 'a non-Christian?' How in the world did you get 'rulers in heaven will not be Christians' from that?
I suggest you consider rewriting your question to make it more clear.
Remember, the New Jerusalem (the Bride), comes down out of heaven from God.
The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. Rev 3:12
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Rev 21:2
Not her 'influence' only. She, herself.
Peace again to you.

Post #108Peace again to you,
Peace still to you.
Since I already refuted that erroneous conclusion, this post is disingenuous. Perhaps it is a deflection to hide the fact that the verses you used clearly do not support the claim that you have made - that Christians reign over other Christians.2timothy316 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2023 2:55 pmYeah because apparently you believe that it will non-Christians that will reign over Christians.tam wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2023 2:54 pm Peace to you,
