The purpose of this blog is to draw us closer as Bible students and to encourage us to carefully examine what is said in word and print. Do the things we speak and write with regards to the truth harmonize with His Holy word?--"The Truth never fears cross examination."

Permanent Marker Series: E4, Page 375
(Click the above image for best quality.)
We are at the first of two pages that are the foundation for the Executive Trustee's error on the Youthful Worthies. He thinks a sentence on this page reads that they exist in 1878. But he is not reading it correctly, especially in light of all of the pages we've had to modify. We've detailed this sentence before, but we'll do it again since we're on the page.
Here, Bro. Johnson describes the Naomi class journey (they are the subject) viewed from their destination (“came back”) and says that they arrived with (“brought back with them”) the Ruth class in her completed condition at the end of the journey (fully consecrated after overcoming difficult obstacles) and mentions when they began the journey (“from 1878 on”) as a tentatively justified class.
In order for this sentence to work for the Executive Trustee, we need to change the journey to a completed action in 1878. The Naomi and Ruth classes must arrive in 1878. That, of course, eliminates the journey, the difficult obstacles and provides no window of time for the other tentatively justified class, the Orpah class, to attempt to fully consecrate and come into the Truth.
