Revisit (4 min.): Use the ideas for discussion. Then offer the Enjoy Life brochure and start a Bible course using Lesson 1 (th lec. 20).
PUBLISHER: Maria, I'm glad things are a little better with Sebastián. That makes me very happy and I wanted to briefly review the question that remained, the other day, why can we trust the bible?
HOUSEWIFE: As I told you the other day, Sofia, I think that the bible is a good book, but because it is very old and it is possible that there is discontinued information and that is why there is a bit of doubt in looking for information in it for the problems of the day. .
PUBLISHER: Yes, Maria, I understand you, but I'll give you a brief example. When we were in school they talked about the earth and they taught us that it was in space, you remember that they said what sustained the earth.
HOUSEWIFE: Well, they said that there were certain animals that supported the earth, and we believed it. But now with the photographs that exist of the planet, it is clear that there is nothing to support it.
PUBLISHER: Yes. But it took many, many years to understand that. I want you to do this text here Job chapter 26 verse 7.
HOUSEWIFE: Sure, it goes like this.
PUBLISHER: Did you notice Maria, what was it that sustained the earth according to this text of the Bible?
HOUSEWIFE: Well, the text here said that it suspends the earth over nothing.
PUBLISHER: That's right. And you know Mary that these words were written 3500 years ago and the Bible already said that the earth was not supported by something. But in schools we were taught so many theories of what the earth possibly held. That is why although it is an old book it has updated information. And before yesterday when I come to your house, I will leave you a brochure. The title is: "Enjoy life." Mary, I want to review this lesson with you, one with the title: "How can the Bible help you?" Note the first paragraph here. Under the question What are some of the questions that the Bible answers? Would you please read that paragraph?
HOUSEWIFE: Sure, the Bible answers important questions: How did life begin? Why are we here? Why do good people suffer? Is there life after death? Why is there? so many wars if everyone wants peace? and What will become of our planet? The Bible invites us to search its pages for the answers to these questions, and the millions of people who have already done so are very satisfied with what they have discovered.
PUBLISHER: Which of these questions you read catches your attention and you would be interested in finding the answers with the Bible.
HOUSEWIFE: For example, why do good people suffer? Is there life after death? What will become of our planet?
PUBLISHER: What good questions you picked. And so we will also find other answers How to educate our children? How to be happy in our marriages? and many more topics. So would you like to continue examining other points?
HOUSEWIFE: Of course. I am willing to learn the Bible little by little if you want to help me.
PUBLISHER: It will be my pleasure.
