I've read several messages by Jehovah Witnesses who say although their religion made errors in the past, other worshipers such as Noah, David, Moses, etc made errors.
This is misleading. All humans make mistakes, but there is a huge difference between human error and someone who makes false "predictions" in the name of God which lasts decades and misleads many.
Moses made an error which prevented him from entering the promised land. But he did not set false dates over and over which lasted for years, and caused followers of God to completely uproot their lives.
Do you feel there is a difference between the two? Why or why not? I would like to hear what others think about this? Also, if someone claims they did not receive prophecy from God, but tells others what the future holds because of their scriptural research, then sits back and allows these people to make drastic changes in their life based on this "research", is that also misleading and playing with semantics?
