Question 1: “Why would anyone want The Book of Wisdom taken out of The Bible?

Answer: “Wealthy donors hated This Word of God about them ‘lording it over’ everyone!

“Wisdom 6:1-11. ‘Hear, O kings, and understand; learn, you magistrates of the earth’s expanse! Hearken, you who are in power over the multitude and lord it over throngs of peoples!’

~

Question 2: “Who gives some people ‘power over the multitude’?

Answer: “‘Because authority was given you by The Lord and sovereignty by The Most High, Who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels.’

~

Question 3: “Does God watch closely to see if the rich are obedient?

Answer: “Yes! ‘Because, though you were ministers of His Kingdom, you judged not rightly, and did not keep the law, nor walk according to the will of God, . . .’

~

Question 4: “What did God promise will happen to them?”

Answer: “‘Terribly and swiftly shall He come against you, because judgment is stern for the exalted . . .'”

~

Question 4: “Does God hold the rest of us to that ‘stern judgment’?”

Answer: “No. ‘For the lowly may be pardoned out of mercy but the mighty shall be mightily put to the test . . . but for those in power a rigorous scrutiny impends.’” (emphasis added)

Question 5: “Should billionaires value wisdom more than status, mansions, jets, and yachts?”

Answer: “‘To you, therefore, O princes, are my words addressed that you may learn wisdom and that you may not sin. For those who keep the holy precepts hallowed shall be found holy, and those learned in them will have ready a response. Desire therefore my words; long for them and you shall be instructed.’

Question 6: “How should Catholics feel about the very rich and powerful?”

Answer: “Feel sorry for every billionaire who willfully disobeys This Word of Jesus Christ! ‘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.’
