need help find a scripure about truth for wise...not just the foolish

by oompa in

jw
friends

does anyone know of a scripture or scriptures that indicate that wise or perhaps smarter people can understand jesus teachings better than the simpleminded?.

my dad e-mailed me a response recently using the scripture where jesus said things had "been hidden" from smart or educated people, but revealed them to stupid people or babies or whatever...............then i saw a post here in the last few weeks i meant to mark that said the exact opposite...........the the truth was for wise people or such..........

Oompa,

I don't know if any of these will help, but here they are. This is a good web site for looking up Bible verses

http://www.biblegateway.com/

Hosea 14:9 NIV

Who is wise? He will realize these things. Who is discerning? He will understand them. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the reballious stumble in them.

Daniel 12:10 NIV

Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

1 Corinthians 12:7 NIV

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

Is it possible for the Pittsburgh Steelers...

by JimmyPage in

HappyDad

Living in the Pittsburgh area, I am a Steelers fan of course. And I'm happy that they won. Other than the winning pass and catch by Ben and Santonio.........if the Steelers would have won any other way, it would not have been by their better playing but because of the Cardinals mistakes. The Cardinals played one hell of a game too!

What About Gay Marriage

i swear that this could have been written by nathan knorr!

enjoy!.

HappyDad

All of this gay stuff has been hashed over and over and over and over.

Why.......all of a sudden.......is it one of the main topics again? Go back the past 24 hours of posts and see what Simon had to say about it.

Are you/the gays trying to put forth an agenda on the new JWN?

Has there been an influx about straight marriage? AKA.....man and woman? Are the straight people trying to push their man and woman agenda? I don't think so.

Give it up already.

Has Nicole Kidman ever spoken out about Scientology?

by Mickey mouse in

jw
friends

i don't recall ever hearing her speak about her experiences with the church of scientology.

i'm guessing she probably chooses not to since it may make relations with her ex tom cruise difficult.

plus the scientologists seem to have the fear and control business off to a fine are.. has anyone ever read or heard anything from her?.

HappyDad

It's never been proven but it has been spoken about. There are people who left Scientology and mysteriously died. A man I worked with in the 1970's had a brother who got involved with the cult in its early days and decided their practices were not for him. According to the guy I worked with, his brother said they were hounding him to come back. (remind you of what the JW's do?) He held his ground but not long after he was found dead of an apparent suicide. His brother said that nobody in the family believed it was suicide but what could they do. I have heard of similar cases. Fear and threats could keep Nicole from saying anything. HappyDad

Thanks for all the informative information you provide Barb. It is greatly appreciated.

It would be wonderful if some hot shot producer from the History channel would get interested in the history and death of JFR and put a series on History's Mysterys. That would surely invite many questions and comments from the general public.
