144001 Frelsere?
Jehovas Vidner siger ofte de tror Jesus. Her er, hvad de i virkeligheden mener, når de siger sådan:
1) Jesus er kun mellemmand for de 144000 Jehovas Vidner som kommer i himlen ("Insight to the Scriptures", Vol 2, side 362)
2) Men Jesus er ikke mellemmand for de nulevende Jehovas Vidner
3) Det er de 144000 der er mellemmænd for de nulevende Jehovas Vidner ("Insight to the Scriptures", Vol 2, side 363)
Er Jehovas Vidner kristne? Eller er de bare en samling Gudsbespottere?

Jesus er kun mellemmand for de 144000:
CITAT: "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." (The Desire for Peace and Security Worldwide, 1986, side 10)
-------------------------
Resten af Jehovas Vidner har ikke del i den pagt (covenant), Jesus var mellemmand for. De er afhængige af de 144000 for at bevare deres forhold til Gud:
CITAT: 'They recognize that they are not in the new covenant mediated by Jesus Christ, nor part of the 'chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation... To keep in relationship with 'our Savior God,'the 'great crowd 'needs to remain united with the remnant of spiritual Israelites.' (Watchtower, 11/15/1979, side 27)
--------------
Og her er det hele samlet i et citat:
CITAT: "At a time when God was selecting those to be taken into that new covenant, the apostle Paul wrote that Christ was the “One mediator between God and men.' (1 Tim. 2:5) Reasonably Paul was here using the word 'mediator” in the same way he did the other five times, which occurred before the writing of 1 Timothy 2:5, referring to those then being taken into the new covenant for which Christ is “mediator.' So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the “mediator” only for anointed Christians. The new covenant will terminate with the glorification of the remnant who are today in that covenant mediated by Christ. “This great crowd” of “other sheep” that is forming today is not in the 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, 4/1/79, side 31
