Why is God speaking in riddles?

by sosoconfused in

it seems for most of the bible that god spoke directly to people and told them what to do.

he wrote things on rocks.

he gave them laws.

8 year old still understands the gospel... I dont think the god that Jesus spoke about would kill her. so apparently the riddles are there just for fun.

Yes, but the 8 year old has very easily obtained a profound conclusion about 7 Million People on the planet that also includes many other 8 year olds, and can now clearly see that their parents are balatantly disobeying what Jesus Christ said in the Gospels with an enormous amount of peril involved!

The 8 year has easily seen through what people claim to be riddles and in so doing identified 7 Million very likely candidates for the mark of the wild beast!

Should the 8 year old care?

So what next?

On the other hand, if we see a large number of people claiming to be Christian who refuse to obey Jesus Christ commandment above then the very real possibility exists that IT IS THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST!

So once this conclusion is reached then what direction should an 8 year old take to pursue this easily obtained and yet profound conclusion further?

Considering that:

The wild beast is said to have a name.

and

That name can be calculated as also representing a mans number.

and

People give worship or venerate the wild beast.

and

We also now understand why it is people who BELIEVE the false prophets who claim to speak for Jesus Christ that are the targeted candidates indicated in the Book of Revelation to be misled into receiving the mark of the beast.

What historical evidence does the 8 year old have so far that might indicated where a name is involved amoungst these people who choose to disobey Jesus Christs very straight forward commandment in the Gospels?

Do you think an 8 year old might even grasp what might be the next step in solving something the bible says would require wisdom?

So why does a person not even have to understand what I posted above about the Book of Revelation if

they simple obey what Jesus Christ said in the Gospels?

Here is something he said:

Matthew 24:23-26

"Then if anyone says to YOU, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones. 25 Look! I have forewarned YOU. 26 Therefore, if people say to YOU, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner chambers,’ do not believe it.

So lets imagine a situation where a group of men claim to have a "channel" of direct communication with Jesus Christ from somewhere within the

"inner chambers" of lets say .... the Brooklyn Bethel.

w81 2/15 p. 19 Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible?

We should have confidence in the channel God is using. At the Brooklyn headquarters from which the Bible publications of Jehovah’s Witnesses emanate there are more mature Christian elders, both of the "remnant" and of the "other sheep," than anywhere else upon earth.

Men who claim that what they say comes directly from Jesus Christ!

w59 5/1 p. 269 Attain Completeness in the New World Society

7 To hold to the headship of Christ, it is therefore necessary to obey the organization that he is personally directing. Doing what the organization says is to do what he says.

Now if we simply obey what Jesus Christ commanded in the scripture posted above; "do not believe it", then we have no need to worry about receiving the mark of the beast mentioned in the Book of Revelation.

On the other hand, if we see a large number of people claiming to be Christian who refuse to obey Jesus Christ commandment above then the very real possibility exists that IT IS THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST!

This is a very profound conclusion that can be reached by reading the Book of Revelation without even having to understand the riddles and symbology.

So yes, there is stuff that even an 8 year old could understand that is hidden in amoungst what people claim to be riddles.

However, if you simply obey what Jesus Christ said in the Gospels then you don't have to worry about the Book of Revelation.

ablebodied - so it seems best to just not be a christian and then we can avoid all of this stuff...

sosoconfused,

Then I guess your concerns about being saved above are really not valid.

Sure, you can avoid being saved!

Here is a scripture from the Book of Revelation that overturns the popular opinion of the vast majority of Christians, including the Watchtower Society:

Revelation 19:19-20

And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image.

It is the false prophet who misleads those who receive the mark of the wild beast!

But hey, Jesus Christ made it clear and straight forward in the Gospels that the false prophets would come in his name to misrepresent him.

The important thing to understand here that even an 8 year old would unerstand is that the false prophet will claim to be Christian!

Having understood that you could ask your 8 year old who will not receive the mark of the wild beast.

What factions on this planet would not listen to a true Christian Prophet let alone a False one.

The list represents the vast majority of the planets population:

Atheists

Jews

Muslims

Hindus

Sikhs

Buddhists

Keep going with all the non Christian Religions who do not care what a Christian Prophet has to say whether true or false!

Your 8 year old daughter should easily conclude that it is ONLY Christians who can possibly receive the mark of the beast.

This flies in the face of what the vast majority of Christians and also the Watchtower Society believe.

A very important conclusion that can easily be reached without even having to understand who the wild beast symbolizes!

So ablebodied you think god wrote a book that peopel dont even need to understand? Then why write it.

This water get murkier and murkier

You do not need to understand the riddles and symbology in the Book of Revelation if you simply obey what Jesus Christ said in the Gospels.

But hey, I will offer to explain something from the Book of Revelation that eludes the vast majority of the Christian population, in a way that even your 8 year old daughter will understand and show why you don't need to understand it if you simply obey what Jesus Christ said in the Gospels.

Are you willing?

But let us say that God did tell John all these things... to this day no one understands it and no one has proof that anyone does. It would seem to me that a loving God would have no reason to hide life-saving information in the forms of crazy riddles that only a few people would understand and the rest would just have to die.

I am convinced that some people do understand it.

It is not anything like the popular opinion though!

If you want to "Save" your life there are no riddles involved. Let me say that again ..... NO RIDDLES!

Simply obey the things that Jesus Christ said which are completely straight forward.

The riddles and symbology in the Book of Revelation help us understand just how Satans insidious deceptions have caused Christians to disobey Jesus Christ's very straight forwardcommandments in a truly reprehensible way.

A sincere Christian does not even need to comprehend the symbology and riddles if he simply obeys the very straight forward things that Jesus Christ told us.

So you dont think that Satan can grasp the concept of the Good Samaritan parable??? eventhough my daughter who was like 8 can understand it

So does your daughter who is 8 understand the riddles and symbology in the book of revelation?
