“Followim Teaching Bilong Mi”

“Sapos iufala followim teaching bilong mi, iufala barava disaepol bilong mi nao. Iufala bae savve long samting wea tru, and datwan bae mekem iufala free.”—JOHN 8:31, 32.

Wanem Jesus Minim: Olketa samting wea Jesus teachim kam from God. Jesus sei: “Mi talem nomoa samting wea Dadi wea sendem mi kam hem laekem mi for talem.” (John 12:49) Taem Jesus prea long Dadi bilong hem Jehovah God, hem sei: ‘Toktok bilong iu hem tru.’ Staka taem Jesus iusim olketa Scripture for sapotim olketa teaching bilong hem. (John 17:17; Matthew 4:4, 7, 10) So olketa tru Christian followim teaching bilong Jesus. Olketa bilivim samting wea Bible talem hem tru, and evri samting wea olketa bilivim and wanem olketa duim kam from Bible.

Wanem Olketa Christian Long First Century Duim: Aposol Paul wea stap long first century garem sem tingting olsem Jesus abaotem Bible. Hem sei: “Evri toktok insaed long olketa Holy Raeting hem kam from God.” (2 Timothy 3:16) Olketa man wea garem waka for teachim olketa Christian long datfala taem, mas “barava faithful for followim toktok bilong God wea tru and wea man fit for trustim.” (Titus 1:7, 9, The Amplified Bible) Olketa Christian long first century no acceptim ‘kastom bilong olketa man and olketa iusles samting bilong disfala world, from olketa samting hia no kam from Christ.’—Colossians 2:8.

Distaem, Hu Nao Duim Wanem Jesus Talem? Datfala Vatican’s Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, wea olketa Catholic acceptim long 1965 and wea olketa story abaotem long Catechism of the Catholic Church sei olsem: ‘Catholic Church no tekem olketa teaching bilong hem from Bible nomoa. Church mas acceptim and respectim olketa kastom bilong Church olsem olketa duim long Bible.’ Maclean’s magasin talem disfala toktok bilong wanfala Church minister long Toronto, Canada: ‘Iumi no need for followim olketa teaching wea kam from wanfala man wea stap tu thousand year go finis. Jesus and Bible no sapotim olketa idea bilong iumi.’

New Catholic Encyclopedia sei olsem abaotem Olketa Jehovah’s Witness: “Olketa teaching and olketa standard wea olketa followim saed long wanem hem stret and no stret hem kam from Bible nomoa.” No longtaem go nomoa, wanfala man long Canada katem story bilong wanfala Jehovah’s Witness taem hem redi for talem hu nao hem. Man hia sei: ‘Mi savve, iu wanfala Jehovah’s Witness bikos iu holem Bible.’
