Russell and the True Church

Russell did not believe in starting a new religion or a new church.

Brother Russell was certainly used by God in bringing forth many things from the Bible, and much of his writings are explanations of or in defense of the ransom for all. We should certainly appreciate God's use of Brother Russell in his use of all his resources to proclaim the truths related to the ransom. As a result of his work, some have sought to find Brother Russell in the Bible, and thus have claimed -- among other things -- that he was the faithful and wise servant of Matthew 24:45, the steward of Luke 12:42. Sadly, some have been so zealous for this belief that they would disfellowship a brother f...
