Ch1. (Par. 10) Why can we trust that God will undo all the effects of wickedness?

Why can we trust that God will undo all the effects of wickedness?

Chapter 1 (Par. 10)
Why can we trust that God will undo all the effects of wickedness?

"Furthermore, God is holy. (Isaiah 6:3) This means that he is pure and clean. There is no trace of badness in him. So we can trust him completely. That is more than we can say for humans, who sometimes become corrupt. Even the most honest human in authority often does not have the power to undo the damage that bad people do. But God is all-powerful. He can and will undo all the effects that wickedness has had on mankind. When God acts, he will do so in a way that will end evil forever!—Psalm 37:9-11."

God is holy. (Isaiah 6:3) This means that he is pure and clean. But God is all-powerful. He can and will undo all the effects that wickedness has had on mankind.

(Isaiah 6:3) And this one called to that one and said: “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of armies. The fullness of all the earth is his glory.”

(Psalm 37:9-11) For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Ch. 1 Par. 3 - Why do many stop trying to find answers to the questions that matter most?

Chapter 1 Paragraph 3 - Why do many stop trying to find answers to the 


questions that matter most?

Ch. 1 Paragraph 3



Question for paragraph #3 ;  Why do many stop trying to find answers to the questions that matter most?

"Think about the question on the cover of this book, the questions raised in the preface, or those at the beginning of this chapter. These are some of the most important questions you can ask. Yet, many people have given up trying to find the answers. Why? Does the Bible have the answers? Some feel that its answers are too hard to understand. Others worry that asking questions could lead to shame or embarrassment. And some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teachers. What about you?"


  • Some feel that its answers are too hard to understand. Others worry that asking questions could lead to shame or embarrassment. And some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teachers.



The reality is that even though many people say that there are no answers to these questions or that they can't be known, they are clearly answered in the Bible. What a great, and terrible sham that has been perpetrated by Satan to keep us in the dark about the answers to these and other important questions, when they have real and satisfying answers right here in MY copy of the Bible. And what a true blessing it is to me to have it! :) 

Ch 1. Par. 1 & 2 What Is the Truth About God? - Why is it often good to ask questions?

Chapter 1 Paragraphs 1 & 2 What Is the Truth About God? - Why is it often 


good to ask questions?


What Is the Truth About God?
CHAPTER ONE  paragraph 1&2


Why is it often good to ask questions?

  1. "Does God really care about you?"
  2. "What is God like? Does he have a name?"
  3. "Is it possible to get close to God?"

"HAVE you ever noticed the way children ask questions? Many start asking as soon as they learn to speak. With wide, eager eyes, they look up at you and ask such things as: Why is the sky blue? What are the stars made of? Who taught the birds to sing? You may try hard to answer, but it is not always easy. Even your best answer may lead to yet another question: Why?
2Children are not the only ones who ask questions. As we grow up, we keep asking. We do this in order to find our way, to learn of dangers that we need to avoid, or to satisfy our curiosity. But many people seem to stop asking questions, especially the most important ones. At least, they stop searching for the answers."

Their is a link to the chapter at the top of this Doc, in case you don't have a copy of the book at home. BTW Please feel fre to ask if you need copy, I will be happy to help you get one for FREE. 

Look carefully over these questions before reading the chapter and ask yourself, have you ever wondered the answers to thes questions? 

The way we are going to study this book is one section at a time so this doc will only cover the 1st twp paragraphs. If you look at the bottom of the page you will see a blue hyperlink with a question next to it for par. 1 and 2. the question is...

"Why is it often good to ask questions?"

If you read the first two paragraphs carefully you will see the answer is there; "We do this in order to find our way, to learn of dangers that we need to avoid, or to satisfy our curiosity." from the middle of paragraph 2.  Please expound on that with your own thoughts and post your comments below. :)

"What Does the Bible Really Teach?" Introduction "Is This What God Purposed?"

"What Does the Bible Really Teach?" published by Jehovah's Witnesses



Introduction "Is This What God Purposed?"



Introduction "Is This What God Purposed?"

If you do not possess a copy of the book "What Does the Bible Really Teach" here is a link to the Introduction, click here and read then consider the following:


"READ any newspaper. Look at television, or listen to the radio. There are so many stories of crime, war, and terrorism! Think about your own troubles. Perhaps illness or the death of a loved one is causing you great distress. You may feel like the good man Job, who said that he was “drenched with misery.”—Job 10:15, The Holy Bible in the Language of Today."


Ask yourself:
  • Is this what God purposed for me and for the rest of mankind?
  • Where can I find help to cope with my problems?
  • Is there any hope that we will ever see peace on the earth?

"The Bible provides satisfying answers to these questions."

"THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD WILL BRING ABOUT THESE CHANGES ON THE EARTH."

“He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”—Revelation 21:4"
“The lame one will climb up just as a stag does.”—Isaiah 35:6"
“The eyes of the blind ones will be opened.”—Isaiah 35:5"
“All those in the memorial tombs will . . . come out.”—John 5:28, 29"
"“No resident will say: ’I am sick.‘”—Isaiah 33:24"
“There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth.”—Psalm 72:16"

"BENEFIT FROM WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES"

"Do not quickly dismiss what is presented as mere wishful thinking. God has promised to bring these things about, and the Bible explains how he will do so.
But the Bible does more than that. It provides the key to your enjoying a truly satisfying life even now. Think for a moment about your own anxieties and troubles. They may include money matters, family problems, loss of health, or the death of a loved one. The Bible can help you to deal with problems today, and it can provide relief by answering such questions as these:
  • Why do we suffer?
  • How can we cope with life‘s anxieties?
  • How can we make our family life happier?
  • What happens to us when we die?
  • Will we ever see our dead loved ones again?
  • How can we be sure that God will fulfill his promises for the future?

"The fact that you are reading this book shows that you would like to find out what the Bible teaches. This book will help you. Notice that the paragraphs have corresponding questions at the bottom of the page. Millions have enjoyed using the question-and-answer method when discussing the Bible with Jehovah‘s Witnesses. We hope you will too. May you have God‘s blessing as you now enjoy the thrilling and satisfying experience of learning what the Bible really teaches!
Do You know the Answers? The purpose of this study group is to answer these questions using the book "What Does The Bible Really Teach" published by Jehovah's Witnesses as a study guide. It is not meant to replace the Bible or its teachings, only to help draw your focus to the specific scriptures that answer these questions and to help us to meditate on their meaning and application in our lives."

GET TO KNOW YOUR BIBLE 

"THERE are 66 books and letters that make up the Bible. These are divided into chapters and verses for easy reference. When scriptures are cited in this publication, the first number after the name indicates the chapter of the Bible book or letter, and the next refers to the verse. For example, the citation “2 Timothy 3:16” means the second letter to Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16.
You will quickly become familiar with the Bible by looking up the scriptures cited in this publication. Also, why not start a program of daily Bible reading? By reading three to five chapters a day, you can read the entire Bible in a year."

  • Revelvation 21:4
  • Isaiah 35:6
  • Isaiah 35:5
