God’s IQ Test. #93 “Am I smart enough to connect The Old Testament with the New”?

. The Old Testament brought The New Testament Into Being.

Today’s Reading connects One Fact from John 6:68 to God’s Words from the Old Testament in Psalms 19:8.

The New Testament Fact from St. John: “Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.”

~

Question 1: Is The Bible clearly telling us that the “words” of Jesus Christ are “everlasting life”.

Catholics, and all Christians, answer: “Yes!

~

Catholics ask ourselves, and our beloved neighbors, simple questions!

Question 2: “If we willfully choose to disobey any “words” of Jesus Christ, can we have “everlasting life”?

Catholics answer: “No one in their right mind would take that risk!”

Willful Protestants answer: “We obey enough ‘words’ of Jesus Christ to have ‘everlasting life’.”

~

Catholics read Psalm 19:8, from the Old Testament: “The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul; the decree of the Lord is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple.”

Question 3: “Should I keep my thinking “simple” so that I may be among those to whom God gives “wisdom”?

Answer: “Yes.”

~

Question 4 is a “simple” question! “Am I ‘simple’ enough to be given the ‘wisdom’ to obey this ‘word of everlasting life’ from Jesus Christ in The Bible:

‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’“?

Catholics answer: “Yes! Thank God I am that ‘simple’!”

The Profiteers of Protestantism have another answer: “Things are not that ‘simple’!

~

Catholics may smile, or, cry, when we ask Question 5:

“Do you make things complicated so your donors will disobey That Word of Jesus Christ and give money to you?

The answer is too “simple” to need more than “Yes.”

~

Only “simple” people have the “wisdom” to move from The Old Testament to The New Testament and on to Heaven!
