Bible course (5 mins.): lff lesson 05 point 4 (th lesson 13).
PUBLISHER: Very well Rubén, we are making good progress. And the most important thing is that you are internalizing the different teachings that Jehovah God gives us through his inspired Word, the Bible. So let's continue like this and go deeper into the subject.
STUDENT: The truth, Alberto, the study is being very pleasant, the illustrations and the different videos with practical lessons are helping me a lot.
PUBLISHER: Very good Rubén. Well, look, speaking of God teaching us through his word... there are many people who question the Bible for this very fact... they consider it to be just another book, old that is not the same as outdated, that was written by people... We have already seen some lessons and advice, do you think that men of centuries ago could write such things?
STUDENT: Well no, it's very difficult to get to this level of precision on many of the issues we've studied.
PUBLISHER: Exactly, and it is the same Bible that tells us that the author is God… let's see this video… (… video…) What do you think?
STUDENT: Like all videos, very interesting and instructive.
PUBLISHER: Did you notice how the Bible has a multitude of books written by different people that many of them did not even know each other or coincide at the same time, what's more, hundreds of years passed between them?
STUDENT: It's incredible… and that indicates that there has to be something behind all this.
PUBLISHER: And... although we haven't delved into the Bible yet... you yourself will experience that there is nothing that contradicts itself... not a single sentence, not an error... did you notice the comparative example that the video puts?
STUDENT: Yes, the boss with the employee. Sure, the boss tells him what he has to write but the secretary does it later...
PUBLISHER: In whose name would that letter or email be signed if it is important and sent to the employee by the boss?
STUDENT: On behalf of the boss, even if the employee wrote it, even the boss himself can review it before sending it.
PUBLISHER: Well, as we saw in the video, in a similar way it happens in the Bible... it is signed by God, not in each page, but in each word that was written. This might seem crazy at the time... that there was such a direct communication with God... don't you think?
STUDENT: Yes, totally…
PUBLISHER: Imagine that we moved back to that time… did you see the video? Wouldn't it be crazy to tell one of these men who wrote the Bible that in a few years we would be talking to another person who would be in space in near real time?
STUDENT: Yes, it would be another madness…
PUBLISHER: Well, therefore, it is not as far-fetched as many people think and say that this is impossible... science today has shown it with advances in telecommunications and space... Who else but God Almighty could not do all these things? stuff? … We are going to read, I invite you to do it, 2 Timothy 3:16…
STUDENT: Perfect, it says... «All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for censoring, for correcting things and for educating according to what is good».
PUBLISHER: Did you notice what the Bible says it is?
STUDENT: Yes, inspired by God…
PUBLISHER: And if so, what the following text says is not logical.
STUDENT: Obviously, who better than God to teach us and to rectify things that are wrong...
PUBLISHER: God, what he wants from us, is that we be happy... and for that he instructs us through his Word, not only to benefit from the promises he makes us... but so that we lead happy lives without problems. So… here we have two questions… do you want to answer the first one?
STUDENT: Very good Alberto, well, that is what we have already discussed with the video and here it is remembered with the photo of the boss and the secretary... the instructions were given directly from God and he used men to write what he wanted to convey to us...
PUBLISHER: Perfect, Rubén. Very good… and this would be possible? that is, the second question… is it realistic to believe that God communicated his thoughts to human writers?
STUDENT: Today, as we have seen... technology allows things that we would never have imagined... surely the people of that time even less and look how we are... so yes, it is realistic and very possible, I have no doubt.
PUBLISHER: Very well Rubén… there is no doubt that the Bible, then, comes from God… but would everyone agree with what we have talked about? Let's move on to look at it in the next point number 5: "The Bible survived many attacks"... would you mind reading that first paragraph...
