Letter to editor
Physical return cannot be denied
Dear Editor,
This is a reply to the letter
by Mr. C.F. Barney, dealing
with the subject, "Why was
man Created?" etc... at-
tadting an article by Pastor
Ed Anderson, in the section
titled Minister's Study.
Mr. Barney has thus once
more tried to strike at tne
very fibres of biblical
Christianity.
On his first remark, I
would" like to state that Mr.
Barney is wrong, as any true
Bible student knowsthat
man, before the fall in Eden,
did indeedwalk with the tnie
God. That's what the pastor
meant when he stated that
this was the purpose of
man's being created. After
the fall, man no longer
walked with God as he had
before.
Now on to point number
two as touched On by Mr.
Barney: The Watchtower
mind cannot accept the fact
that The Lord Jesus Christ is
coming again, despite the
fact that the teachings of the
Scriptures are crystal clear
on the subject. Mr. Barney,
who as all Russellites, has
been schooled by the Wat-
chtower Society to believe
error, bases his assumption
on one verse of scripture
Which he so glibly quoted
from John 14:17, "Yet a little
while, and .the world seeth
nrielrolfititeritlikh he-onlY
quotes partway, and asks us
from this spliced verse to
believe that Jesus? coming
would be invisible. Let the
,reader, however, read the
• remainder of the chapter,
and he will discover quickly '
that the verse quoted by Mr.
Barney does not teach what
• Barney says: it does. This
leap -frog fashion of Bible
quoting is surely not the way
to , understanding of the
Bible. All cultists, however,
are quite good atit so as lo
create a"---sittoketcreeii arid -
thus create the impressionof
biblical knowledge.
Yes, Mr. Jehovah's Wit-
ness, Matthew 24:3 reads
"What shalt be the sign of
thy coming..,? Note: it does
not say the sign Of thy
presence! As to your next
statement that "-Bible
scholars are fully aviare*hat '
the Greek word here tran-
slated 'coming' is `parmisia'
which is properly rendered
M1
'presence' ..."; that Mr.
Barney, is strictly a Wat-
chtower teaching and not
backed by any reputable
Greek scholar.
You yourself' Mr. Barney
are not a Greek scholar, and
the Watchtower Society has
not one Greek scholar in its
midst. The only Greek
scholar that Jehovah's
Witnesses ever hadwa.s F.W.
Franz (the present Wat-
chtower president) and in a
trial in Scotland in 1954, he
testified under oath that he
could read neither Hebrew
nor Greek. So why should
anyone believe what you or
any of the Watchtower
leaders say?
The Watchtower has
taught its followers that
' Jesus came back "invisibly"
in 1874; then changed its
mind and said it was in 1914;
predicted the end of the
world in 1877, 1904,1910;1912,
1914, 1915, 1917, 1918, 1920,
1929, 1925, 1930, 1941, 1946,
1975. So the signs of Jesus'
so-called presence men-
tioned in Mr. Barney's letter
are very unreliable to say
the least. It does no good to
deny that the Russellites or
Watchtower ever made these
false predictions, for I have
all the Watchtower articles
that deal on these false
predictions in my library.
In conclusion, let Mr..
Barney -read Matthew 2A-: 30;
Rev. 1:7;1 Tim.6: 14,1 Thess.
4:16,17 compare Zechariah
12:10; 14:4 with Rev. 1:7;
Matthew 2430 and Acts 1:9-
12 and he will (if he it
honest) have to admit that
Jesus' ascension was visible,
for the,disciples saw Him
rise, and,„ in like fashion
(Greek trOpos) the angels
declared He would return.
Zechariah 12:10 quotes
Jehovah (further proof of
Christ's Deity), "And they
Shal. 10.0k.....UPOO. Me . whom
they have pierced."
"Revelation 1:7 states that
Christ is the One pierced,
and visible to human eyes.
Zechariah 14:4 reveals
Clwist as touching the Mount
of Olivet at His visible
• return, and the Scriptures
• teach that this literally
corroborates the angelic
froclarnatiah of Acts 1:9-12
evento the Lord's, return to
the exact location of His
ascension, the Mount of
Olives (verse 12 ).

Despite Mr. Barney and
the whole lot of Jehovah's
Witnesses put together, the
doctrine of the physical
return of Christ cannot be
denied in the Scriptures
unless a denial of God's
Word also be entered which
GODERICH SIGNAL-STARWEDNESDAY; APRIL 15, 1981—PAGE 5
would exhibit unfathomable
ignorance.
