Do the followers of Christ, and the truth, whether one indivdual or a group, receive New Light, or is the bible the last word and message received from God?
I'm looking for the JW view on this. Thanks.

Thanks Peg, I've seen where some think that gaining New Light means that one must have been wrong before, or are wrong now. But if it is just a better understanding of scripture that is different than saying the receiving of New Light is prophecy, or saying that to receive new light means that one's faith can't be the truth, because if they had the truth they wouldn't need new light.
It seems to me that to not receive a better understandingof scripture would be a dead faith.
Hope that wasn't to confusing, sorry if it is. Just my thoughts....

Thanks, I just looked up that verse and it does support additional knowledge...that is new light.
Thanks for posting the verse.
In the past, if it sounded as if I was debating, on some threads, I didn't mean to make it appear that I was, as it wasn't my intention. I think that having a slight disagreement sometimes isn't necessarily a debate.
