Hello, good evening Br **..
I was unable to attend the meeting regularly for about a year. Today I felt very happy, I met many friends there. In Kingdom Hall, almost all people are Jehovah's Witnesses, while I am not. Yet I am where I'm supposed to be. I feel very happy. I started attending English congregation three years ago.
>Furthermore, 1 corinthians 3:19 says "The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God"...
In today's world we find more and more secular people, but still we have many people who have faith but without accurate knowledge. Jehovah's Witnesses are one of rare exceptions who have faith and accurate knowledge. That's why I like to attend the meeting.
Our wisdom is ignorable in comparison with Almighty God Jehovah, that's why we like to get closer to him through everyday Bible study.
>Infact it is only from the time of Israel having been chosen as Gods people in the book of EXODUS to the book of MALACHI that its written mainly for the Jewish nation. From MATTHEW to REVELATION in our Bibles..this is for any people regardless of race ..it is for those to examine the truth and choose whether they too want to become followers of Jesus.
Greek Scriptures consist of mainly four parts, that is Gospels, Acts, Letters, Revelations.
Gospels describe the life of Jesus four times. Acts describes Paul's journeys, almost all letters were thought to be written by Paul, and Revelations are full of metaphoric scenes.
All are written in fifty or sixty years time. In comparison with the very lengthy time Hebrew Scriptures were written, both the portion and period are significantly small and short.
Hebrew Scriptures were written in State sponsorship, while Greek Scriptures were actually a work done by each individuals. What I mean is Christianity was probably a new religion started by Johns the Baptizer. At that time it had been quite a long since Jewish people lost their independence. They had needed a new religion.
I don't disagree with you as to this point - Greek Scriptures were not only for Jewish people, but Gentile, too. But I mean all writers must be Jewish.
>Their health was perfect ,their food was perfect, they were both perfect in everyway. yet they sinned or missed the mark.
Here lies an eternal riddle -why perfect humans made a mistake.
The answer is Jehovah gave humans both freedom to do good as well as freedom to do evil.
Some say humans were made with free will. Therefore humans are perfect.
We can choose good or bad freely. Only mistake we made was we chose to do evil. But it's not a sign of imperfection. If we can only do evil or do good, we must be imperfect.
What I mean here is we'd better affirm human nature more positively. I feel very pessimistic when they say humans are imperfect.
Thank, Br Carlos..my query this time is why the life of Jesus was written four times by different authors.
See you soon,
With Christian Agape,
Mer
