The Book of Wisdom leads us to The Holy Trinity so that our souls may shine with The Glory of God.
~
Question 1: How does Wisdom 13:1-10 define ‘the foolishness of Godlessness’?”
Answer: “The New Jerusalem Bible is painfully specific! ‘Yes, naturally stupid are all men who have not known God and who, from the good things that are seen, have not been able to discover Him Who Is, or by studying the works have failed to recognize The Artificer.’”
~
Question 2: “What made billions of people ‘stupid’ for thousands of years?”
Answer: “Believing in ‘false gods’ makes people ‘stupid’! ‘Fire, however, or wind, or the swift air, the sphere of the stars, impetuous water, heaven’s lamps, are what they have held to be the gods who govern the world.’”
~
Question 3: “What do Catholics say to those lost in the ‘stupidity of Godlessnss’?”
Answer: “We are blessed with The Book of Wisdom’s cure for ‘stupidity’ in Wisdom 13:6. ‘Small blame, perhaps, attaches to these people for perhaps they only go astray in their eagerness to find Him; living among His works they strive to comprehend them and fall victim to appearances, seeing so much beauty.’”
~
Question 4: “Can we be excused for disobedience to God because we are overcome by the wonder of His Creation?”
Answer: “13:8 is clear! ‘Even so, they are not to be excused: if they are capable of acquiring enough knowledge to be able to investigate the world, how have they been so slow to find its Maker?’”
~
Question 5: “Why are Godless people so ‘slow’ to find God?”
Answer: “Wisdom 13:10 tells us! Such people are ‘wretched’ becaus they ‘put their hopes in dead things’ that are ‘made by human hands’!”
~
Question 6: “How does having The Book of Wisdom in our Bible help Catholics?”
Answer: “‘Wisdom’ is what helps Catholics obey The Living Word of The Living God that echoes forever in The Only Church He Spoke Into Being with His Holy Word!
‘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 ‘are capable of acquiring’ This Trinitarian Wisdom: The Son is equal in Power to The Father. Just as The Father Spoke Creation into Being with His Word, The Son Spoke One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church into Being with His Word!
The Book of Wisdom lets The Holy Spirit lead us to Jesus and His Church! Can anyone imagine how God will punish those who willfully and knowingly chose to keep His beloived people from having the ‘Wisdom’ in That Book to get ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ that He died to leave on earth for every immortal soul?”
