Congregation Bible study (30 min.): lff section 2 review.

1. What-will-God-do-to-false-religions? (See-lesson-13).

Well-according-to-what-we-saw-in-this-lesson, since-Jehovah-hates-everything-these-false-religions-do. In-Revelation-18: 21-he-tells-us-that-babylon-the-great-will-never-return-to-see-again, that is-it-will-be-destroyed-for-ever.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 

Jehovah-feels-outraged-by-everything-these-false-religions-do-such-as-instead-of-showing-love-among-themselves-they-encourage-to-kill-others -each-other. Besides-they-don't-teach-the-truth-that-is-in-the-bible-that's why-in-Revelation-18: 21-it says-that-God-will-completely-destroy-false-religions.

And-as-well-explained-the-end-of-this-lesson-false-religions-have-stained-so-so-the-name-of-God-and-his-reputation-with-their-teachings-and- -the-barbarities-they-have-committed, which-is-exactly-what-will-lead-them-to-destruction.

How-does-Jehovah-feel-when-people-say-you-must-worship-him-using-images? (See-lesson-14.)

The-Bible-makes-it-very-clear-to-us-that-Jehovah-is-a-God-who-demands-exclusive-devotion, so-he-does-not-want-us-to-use-images-to-worship-him,- so-he-surely-feels-very-offended-when-he-sees-people-perform-this-practice.

In-the-read-text,-Jehovah-makes-it-clear-that-we-should-not-use-images, because-he-is-a-God-who-demands-exclusive-devotion.-So-it-is- feels-outraged-when-people-use-these-images.

3. Who-is-Jesus? (See-lesson-15.)

Jesus-is-the-first-born-of-all-creation,-and-besides-the-only-begotten-son-of-God-because-he-was-the-only-creator-directly-by-Jehovah, currently-living -in-the-heavens-and-continues-to-have-a-very-close-relationship-with-his-father.

Jesus-is-the-son-of-God-is-the-only-being-created-directly-by-Jehovah, and-is-the-firstborn-of-all-creation-because-he-was-created-before- -everything, that's-why-he-helped-his-father-to-create-everything-else, and he-is-also-the-spokesman-of-Jehovah.

4. What-qualities-of-Jesus-call-you-most-attention? See-lesson-17).

Personally-the-great-compassion-he-felt-for-human-beings-is-most-impressive-to-me. We-also-know-that-he-was-very-kind, -because-through-his-words-of-him-he-brought-much-comfort-and-hope-to-good-hearted-people-and-on- -everything- was-very-generous.

What-I-like-most-about-Jesus-is-his-love-and-he-showed-it-for-all-people, there was-no-distinction-of-class-race-nationality, I-do-not-do-hesitate-to-teach-all-the-people-who-wanted-to-learn-from-Jehovah.

5 Who-practices-true-Christianity?

According-to-the-texts-read, they-are-the-ones-who-love-one-another-and-declare-the-good-news-about-Jesus, this-is- their-main-work, and-we-see-that-we-are-Jehovah's-Witnesses-who-accomplish-all-this.

Jehovah's-Witnesses-practice-true-Christianity-because-they-meet-the-three-requirements-first-they-obey-the-teachings-of-Jesus. They-also-show-love-their-brothers-and-preach-the-Kingdom-of-God.

What-convinces-you-that-they-are-authentic-Christians? (See-lessons-18-and-19.)

In-the-first-place, what-convinced-me-was-that-they-showed-love-to-one-another-and-that-always-everything-was- they taught-was-based-on-the-Bible.

And-as-we-study-in-this-lesson-there-are-experiences-of-brethren-who-were-willing-to-give-their-life-for-their-fellow-Christians. 

They-are-a-show-of-love, because-no matter-how-far-they-are-the-brothers-will-always-be-willing-to-help-those-who-they-have-been- affected, and-this-will-be-so-we-have-a-much-or-little, in addition-we-can-help-them-through-our-words-of-encouragement-that-will-help-them-not-to-fail- in-adversity.

6. Who-is-in-control-of-the-congregation, and how-runs-it? (See-lesson-20).

Jesus-is-the-one-in-command-of-the-Christian-congregation, and-he-directs-the-congregation-with-love-and-in-a-way-that-offers-relief.

It is-Jesus, and-just as-Jesus-in-ancient-time-used-the-Apostles-to-lead-congregations, in-a-similar-way-today-Jesus-uses-the- -governing-body-to-direct-the-congregations-so-he-is-the-one-who-is-the-head-of-the-congregation.

7 How-is-this-prophecy-being-fulfilled-today?

For-the-good-news-of-the-Kingdom-is-being-announced-by-God's-faithful-servants-throughout-all-the-inhabited-earth.

It's-becoming-fulfilled-because-the-Jehovah-Witnesses, we-preach-the-Good-News-all-over-the-world-in-more-than-1000-languages, and-all-this-thanks- to-the-help-of-Jehovah.

Who-Have-You-Told-About-The-Good-News? (See-lessons-21-and-22).

When-I-barely-began-to-give-testimony-to-my-relatives-and-acquaintances, and-later-yes-to-the-greatest-number-of-people-possible, because-it-is-the-will- of-Jehovah.

I-have-talked-to-many-people-in-my-territory, and-my-friends-and-family.

8.Do-you-believe-baptism-is-a-goal-worth-achieving? Why? (See-lesson-23).

Of course-it-is-a-totally-worth-a-goal-because-by-being-baptized-we-show-that-we-have-dedicated-ourselves-to-Jehovah, and-thanks-to-that-we-can- have-a-closer-friendship-with-him.

Of-course-yes, because-as-we-saw-it's-the-only-way-we-can-get-to-have-a-friendship-with-the-creator-of-the-universe.

9.How-can-you-protect-yourself-from-Satan-and-the-demons? (See-lesson-24.)

For-example-not-having-anything-related-to-the-occult-or-spiritualism, because-these-are-methods-used-by-Satan-and-his-demons-to-deceive-us. Besides-we-don't-want-to-open-the-door-to-the-demons-and-that-they-influence-our-life.

We-can-protect-ourselves-from-them-if-we-fully-obey-everything-Jehovah-tells-us, then-we-will-be-opposing-the-Devil. Also-eliminating-everything-that-is-related-to-spiritualism-practices-such-amulet-or-avoiding-practices-such-as-divination-and-astrology.

10. What-does-God-have-for-us? (See-lesson-25).

Well-as-every-loving-father, Jehovah-wants-the-best-for-his-children, that is-why-he-wants-us-to-live-in-perfect-conditions, that is, it is- a-beautiful-terrestrial-paradise, where-we-don't-die-and-don't-have-suffering-of-any-kind.

Jehovah-wants-us-to-have-the-best-life-possible, with-perfect-health-and-live-eternally, and-Revelation-21. 3,4-describes-perfectly-that, because-there-he-makes-it-clear-to-us-that-he-does-not-want-us-to-suffer, that's-why-he-is-going-to-disappear-to-death.

11. Why-do-we-suffer-and-die? (See-lesson-26).

Well-we-know-this-is-due-to-the-sin-inherited-from-our-first-parents, Adam-and-Eve, the-decision-they-made-has-caused-great-suffering- to-all-his-descendants.

Because-of-the-decision-that-Adam-and-Eve-made-they-decided-to-disobey-Jehovah-that's-why-they-ate-of-the-fruit-that-God-had-told-them-that- they-didn't-eat, that's-how-they-came-to-sin-and-reject-God. And-this-has-affected-us-a lot-since-due-to-it-we-are-imperfect, and-therefore-we-suffer-and-die.

12 What-did-Jehovah-do-to-rescue-us-from-sin-and-death? (See-lesson-27).

What-God-did-in-his-great-love-was-send-his-only-begotten-son-to-die-for-us-so-we-could-have-one- hope.

He sent-his-son-to-eliminate-the-effects-of-Adam-and-Eve's-sin-by-eliminating-those-effects-we-will-have-the-opportunity-to-live-forever-in- the-earth-turned-into-a-paradise.

13 Is-there-life-after-death?

The-Bible-clearly-tells-us-that-the-dead-know-nothing-at-all, that is-they-are-no longer-aware-of-anything, which-we-already- there-is-no-life-after-death.

Of course-not, Jesus-compared-death-to-a-deep-sleep-and-when-one-is-asleep-you-know-nothing-about-what-happens-to- all-around, and-even-the-bible-in-Ecclesiastes 9:5 says-the-dead-know-nothing-at-all.

What-will-Jesus-do-for-billions-of-people-who-have-died? (See Lessons 29 and 30.) 

What-he-is-going-to-do-is bring them back to life, and-we-know-he-can-do-it, because-when-he-was-on-earth-he-demonstrated-that-he-can-resurrect-the- dead.

He-will-bring-them-to-life-and-we-are-sure-of-this-because-when-Jesus-was-on-earth-he-raised-people-who-had-died, for-example,- the-daughter-of-Jairus, and-the-son-of-a-widow-and-later-his-friend-Lazarus-and-there-were-witnesses-to-all-these-events.

14. Why-is-the-Kingdom-of-God-better-than-any-human-government? (See-lessons-31-and-33).

Because-those-who-will-govern-this-Kingdom, will-be-beings-who-have-passed-through-all-the-sufferings-that-we-go through, then-they-can-understand-us, besides-the-Government-of- God-has-the-ability-to-achieve-everything-he-proposes-and-it-will-be-forever, not-just-for-a-period-of-time-like-human-governments .

Because-unlike-humans-his-power-has-no-limit-and-he-can-change-what-he-wants-to. Besides-since-he-is-not-human-the-government-lasts-forever-and-the-king-has-qualities-like-loving-kind-and-fair.

15 Do-you-believe-that-the-Kingdom-of-God-is-already-ruling? Why? When did he-begin-to-rule? (See lesson 32).

Of course-I-believe-it, because-there-is-clear-proof-of-it, and-they-are-all-the-Biblical-prophecies-that-have-been-fulfilled, and-this-kingdom-began-to Rule -in-1914. 

Of course-he-is-ruling-by-seeing-all-the-prophecies-regarding-the-Kingdom-of-God-that-he-predicted. The-Bible-what-would-happen when-it-would-begin-to-govern, well-they-are-fulfilling. Also-the-prophecy-of-Daniel-shows-that-the-Kingdom-of-God-began-to-Rule-in-1914.
