Is it true....?

Question

that Jehovah's Witnesses believe they are the modern day Ezekiel class (prophets)? Someone told me this, just wondering..

Answer 1

I don't see how, the bible clearly states that a prophet that gives false prophecies is not a prophet of His, and the JW's have the longest history of repeatedly giving false end time dates. So basically, anything they say is suspect anyway, we are not to listen to false prophets. That helps having them leave my house too, not to many ways to argue their way out of that one, just can't justify false prophecy.

Answer 2

I've never seen the word (prophet) behind the statement Ezekiel class.

This is a poor attempt to declare Jehovah's Witnesses a false prophet.

All christians should be warning people of Jehovah's day of judgement.

All christians should be declaring the day of salvation.

All christians should be preaching the good news of the kingdom.

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses have humbly taught that they are *NOT* infallible and *NOT* inspired by God; that's more than 125 years of unwavering eschewal of the definition of "prophet" insisted upon by this so-called "questioner" and other anti-Witness activists.

Jehovah's Witnesses apply the term "prophet" only in a very limited sense to themselves as a religion, not to individuals. The Scriptures indicate that whenever Jehovah purposes to execute judgment upon a people, he always makes arrangment for a 'prophet's work' as a warning. Their self-description as a "prophet" (in this limited sense) does not indicate special inspired knowledge or foreknowledge, but their willingness to perform Christ's assigned warning work in our day leading up to Armageddon.

What group is working harder than Jehovah's Witnesses to preach God's message globally (as Noah did before the Deluge)?

(Amos 3:7) For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.

(2 Peter 2:5) Noah, a preacher of righteousness...

(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

Answer 4

Not necessarily. Some of them may want to cast themselves in the light of someone like Ezekiel who was into encouraging his people to recover their devotion to the true God. This is one the basic claims laid out by the Jehovah Witnesses though.

Answer 5

Actually, this question reminds me of Satan's question in the garden of Eden when he said to Eve "Is it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?"
He tried to put doubt in Eve's mind about God.
Has this question been phrased like this for the same reason?

You will not be able to stop those with the right heart condition coming into the truth no matter how hard you try, because Jehovah will draw them

The bait you put out will be futile no matter how cuddly & soft & fluffy your name is.
Those of the right heart condition will not listen to you because they'll recognise what you're trying to do - poison them.

Food on the table of demons is poisonous.
Consider, for example, the food dispensed by the evil slave class and the apostates. It does not nourish or build up; it is not wholesome. It cannot be, for the apostates have stopped feeding at Jehovah’s table. As a result, whatever they had developed of the new personality is gone. What motivates them is, not holy spirit, but vitriolic bitterness. They are obsessed with only one aim—beating their former fellow slaves, as Jesus foretold.—Matthew 24:48, 49.


You are opposing God when you oppose his people

Answer 6

Ezekiel class? Why would you want to be in the class of an individual who cooked his food with human excrement?

Answer 7

The last of prophets in the order of time was Malachias.

Latin Vulgate
Douay-Rheims Bible

Second Epistle Of Saint Peter
Chapter 2

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their riotousnesses, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their perdition slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment

11 Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment. 12 But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption, 13 Receiving the reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts with you: 14 Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls, having their heart exercised with covetousness, children of malediction

Answer 8

They believe that they are Gods true revelation and church to the world and there is no salvation outside of it. All this and they dont believe in the deity of Christ!

Answer 9

Probably, they believe in lots of things that are flat out lies and cannot be found anywhere in the bible.
