how confusing it is.
- My answer:
- Let’s take some examples to understand the situation!
- First, the apostles!
- They received Jesus’ teaching during 3 years!
- It was 24 hours a day!
- The teaching was progressive!
- But they didn’t understand him!
- They needed his death to understand!
- And even after it was difficult for them to get rid of the Jewish tradition that is human tradition as usual!
- Second, the apostle Paul!
- Before being chosen by Jesus, He was following the Jewish tradition!
- He had been studying the Bible all his life!
- He was persecuting Jesus’ disciples!
- But when Jesus told him he was wrong and he was completely wrong, he changed radically!
- Of course, he needed time to meditate!
- He didn’t speak about this period of time!
- But it was necessary to put everything right in its place!
- And then he went straight away!
- He never went on the right or on the left!
- He never turned back!
- And Jesus chose him to become the apostles of the nations!
- He didn’t choose one he has taught personally!
- He was alone to lead the preaching work in his area!
- Third, the prophets!
- They had a special relationship to Yah.weh and they could develop such a relationship during many years!
- Like Paul, it was a 24-hour relationship!
- They never stopped developing it!
- If we study the Bible from time to time, what are going to be the results?
- We will receive according to what we give!
- If we give little, we will receive little!
- The Hebrews were supposed to teach their children about Yah.weh all the time, using every occasion!
- The majority never did it!
- We know what happened!
- It is the same with mankind!
- The majority does the same!
- Passivity never leads nowhere!
- If we don’t do our part, we can forget it!
- Jesus will say: “I don’t know you!”
