Page 6: Similarly, such gifts of God's holy spirit, or active force, as miraculous healing and speaking in tongues proved that the Jews no longer had Jehovah's favor but that his approval now rested on the Christian congregation, established by his Son, Jesus Christ.-1 Corinthians 12: 7:11.

Correction: God does have a plan for the Jews in the future!

Romans 11:1 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Matthew 24:20 "And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath."

 

Page 6: Paul urged: "Quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2) This can be done by diligently studying the Scriptures with the aid of Christian publications, such as this magazine.

Correction: This can be done by reading continuing to read Scripture in context.

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

 

Page 6: "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, I will certainly not believe," Thomas declared. When Jesus later materialized a body that displayed the wounds of his impalement, Thomas responded favorably to this miracle. However, Jesus said: "Happy are those who do not see and yet believe." - John 20: 25-29.

Note: The torch stake is a fable due to more than one nail being used on the hands of Jesus.

 

Page 7: With the help of his spirit, they are able to understand the Bible's teaching and its predominant theme - the vindication of Jehovah God's sovereignty by means of his heavenly Kingdom. (Matthew 6:9, 10; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

Correction: The theme of the Holy Bible is salvation through Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 3:15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 

Page 15: Only spiritual discernment, developed by a study of God's Word with the help of publications provided through "the faithful and discreet slave," will help us to pursue a proper course in life. (Matthew 24: 45-47)

Correction: The Holy Spirit will teach true Christians.

1 Corinthians 2:13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

 

Page 17-18: To acquire discernment, we need to pray, and we have to study God's Word, with the help of the enlightening publications provided through "the faithful and discreet slave."

Correction: No publications are needed outside of the Holy Bible and prayer.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

 

Page 22: Moreover, prayerful reliance on Jehovah can bring us "the peace of God." (Philippians 4:6, 7) It is a calmness and tranquillity resulting from a close personal relationship with Jehovah.

Note: It is only through Jesus Christ that "the peace of God" can be found.

Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
