First Conversation (5 mins): Use the conversation ideas. Then offer the pamphlet Enjoy Life and show the video Why Study the Bible?, but do not play it (th lec. 6).
PUBLISHER: Good morning, today we are talking to people asking them a question, Is suffering a punishment from God?
HOUSEHOLDER: I think not.
PUBLISHER: Correct and like you, there are people who do not believe that suffering is caused by God, but there are people who think that suffering is, in some way, a form of punishment, for example, what do some people know how to say when they lose? to a loved one?
HOUSEHOLDER: They know how to say that because God punished them that way.
PUBLISHER: So there are people who think like that, but in the Bible we find a different statement, here in James 1:13, please read it.
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, it says...
PUBLISHER: Thanks for reading, in a part of the verse it says that God cannot be tested, is that so?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sure, no one can put God to the test since he is Almighty.
PUBLISHER: Exactly, but instead, what can't God do?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, he doesn't test anyone either.
PUBLISHER: Correct, when we go through a difficult situation it is not that God is punishing us or testing us, but then why do we suffer? Is it okay if another day what the Bible says?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sounds good to me, it's interesting to see that this is found in the Bible.
PUBLISHER: That's right, and in the Bible we can learn many things and I just have a publication that helps us study it, it's this one, can you read the title?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sure, Enjoy Life Forever!, Introduction to the teachings of the Bible.
PUBLISHER: Thanks, as you just read, this booklet discusses three lessons on the importance of studying the Bible, here's yours.
HOUSEHOLDER: Wow, that looks very interesting, I'm going to read it right away.
PUBLISHER: I see that you like to know more about the Bible, I would like to show you the following video (Show the video Why study the Bible?, but do not play it), What caught your attention the most in this video?
HOUSEHOLDER: I found it very interesting, I see that the Bible answers many questions.
PUBLISHER: Exactly, questions like the ones mentioned in the video have always attracted attention and although it was thought that a lot of research should be done, they are found in the Bible that is easily accessible, if you want to know the answers and the promises of God, what should you do? make?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, study the Bible.
PUBLISHER: That's right, so you can benefit from the teachings of the Bible, is it okay with you that next time we can study the Bible along with the booklet I just left you?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sure, I'd love to.
