"Buy Truth Itself And Do Not Sell It . . ." (Proverbs 23:23)

"BUY TRUTH ITSELF AND DO NOT SELL IT . . ."
(Proverbs 23:23 New World Translation)


We often hear Jehovah's Witnesses say to other people and among themselves, "I'm in the truth," or "we are in the truth."

But can we, as Jehovah's Witnesses truly say, we are in the "whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help you God" Truth? [Example: The newly clarified "Overlapping Generation" teaching. See link viewtopic.php?t=384 ]

Can we say this?

Jehovah's Witnesses, is what you currently believe and teach as "The Truth" . . . really the truth, in the face of overwhelming evidence you have examined for yourself, on the net so far? (John 8:32)

If you have doubts, please see the following information found below:

LEVITICUS 16:10...A HEBREW INTERLINEAR TRANSLITERATION

Did you know, one of the most amazing verses in the bible which speaks of "great," and "incomprehensible things" (Jeremiah 33::3 New World Translation) that mankind has NOT known of before, all hidden within the Holy Scriptures themselves for thousands of years, millenniums, can be found below at Leviticus 16:10. Yes, this verse plainly says:

"But the goat over which the lot came up for Azazel should be stood alive before Jehovah TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR IT, so as to send it away for Azazel into the wilderness." -- Leviticus 16:10 New World Translation

Of course we speak of the "Scapegoat," (which is named such in a number of bibles like the popular King James Version, New International Version, as well as the Septuagint Version of the bible), or as some translations refer to this "goat," yes, as the "living goat" that proves to be the 2nd goat in the scenario of the Day of Atonement procedure. Maybe, you personally remember reading about this, when reading the 16th chapter of Leviticus. If so, you no doubt recall reading about this 2nd "goat," the “live goat” that is surprisingly, "ATONED FOR" before … yes, before it is used by Jehovah God in a special sacrificial sense. Indeed, a careful analysis of this verse, namely Leviticus 16:10, shows us the 2nd goat is actually "ATONED FOR" before it is to be used in a "sacrificial sense" for God.
