Does Octaman Really Claim to be "God's Mouthpiece"???
Answer: Octaman
says:
It is urged
equally upon ALL
who follow the Lord to be God's
mouthpieces.
The
term is derived directly from the Apostle Peter
who said:
"If
any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God
" 1Pe 4:11
My thought is inspired by
Pastor Charles Taze Russell. Below is a portion
of an article
by Pastor Russell where the words "God's mouthpiece" appear. You
can see the
TRUE spirit of the man who is hated without a cause as he urges all who
are Christ's followers to speak as Peter instructed.

Russell Said:
A
SKETCH OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRESENT TRUTH
Many
are the inquiries relative to the
truths presented in MILLENNIAL DAWN and ZION'S WATCH TOWER, as to
whence they came and how they developed to their present symmetrical
and beautiful proportions--Were they the results of visions? Did God in
any supernatural way grant the solution of these hitherto mysteries of
his plan? Are the writers more than ordinary beings? Do they claim any
supernatural wisdom or power? or how comes this revelation of God's
truth? No, dear friends, I claim nothing of superiority, nor
supernatural power, dignity or authority; nor do I aspire to exalt
myself in the estimation of my brethren of the household of faith,
except in the sense that the Master urged it, saying, "Let him who
would be great among you be your servant." (`Matt. 20:27`.) And my
position among men of the world and of the nominal church is certainly
far from exalted, being "everywhere spoken against." I am fully
contented, however, to wait for exaltation until the Lord's due time.
(`I Pet. 5:6`.) In the Apostle's words I therefore answer, "Why look ye
upon us, as though by our own power we had done these things? We also
are men of like passions with yourselves"--of like infirmities and
frailties, earnestly striving, by overcoming many besetments,
discouragements, etc., to press along the line toward the mark of the
prize of our high calling, and claiming only, as a faithful student of
the Word of God, to be an index finger, as I have previously expressed
it, to help you to trace for yourselves, on the sacred page, the
wonderful plan of God--no less wonderful to me, I assure you, than to
you, dearly beloved sharers of my faith and joy. No, the truths I
present, as God's mouthpiece, were not revealed in visions or dreams,
nor by God's audible voice, nor all at once, but gradually, especially
since 1870, and particularly since 1880. Neither is this clear
unfolding of truth due to any human ingenuity or acuteness of
perception, but to the simple fact that God's due time has come; and if
I did not speak, and no other agent could be found, the very stones
would cry out.
