En la actualidad, las familias cristianas deben darle la misma importancia a la educación.
Aristotle taught that all the heavenly bodies were encased in crystalline spheres, each one nested tightly within the next, with the earth innermost.
Christian families today need to give the same importance of education.

Aristóteles enseñó que todos los cuerpos celestes estaban encajados en esferas transparentes, cada una dentro de otra más grande, con la Tierra en el centro.
The Bible refers to six primary covenants that relate to the Messianic Kingdom in the hands of Christ Jesus.
He taught that all the heavenly bodies were fitd into an upper room, each inside of the earth, in the center of the earth.

Notemos, sin embargo, la actitud que demostraron Jacob y José años después: ambos supieron ver el lado bueno de su familia.
Jehovah and "the faithful and discreet slave " deeply appreciate all their past and present contributions to the Kingdom work. - Matt.

Your spirit is good; may it lead me. " - PS.
Jehovah and "the faithful and discreet slave " deeply appreciates all that older ones have done and continue to do in behalf of the Kingdom.

Después de aconsejar a sus hermanos que no contristaran el espíritu de Dios, Pablo escribió: "Que se quiten toda amargura maliciosa y cólera e ira y gritería y habla injuriosa, junto con toda maldad ."
Yes, we can be certain that Jehovah, "the Judge of all the earth, " will always do what is right," for all his ways are justice. " - Gen. 18: 25; Deut.

Los ejemplos anteriores tienen que ver con personas que expresaron su descontento abiertamente. Veamos ahora otro tipo de murmuración.
How do the Scriptures show the importance of love?
The former examples must have to deal with people who expressed their senses openly. Let us now consider another type of murmuring.

Según la Biblia, ¿por qué es tan importante el amor?
The Bible calls him the Son of God; the lovers of Greek philosophy insisted that he is God.
Why is love so important?

Mientras que la Biblia afirma que él es el Hijo de Dios, los incondicionales de la filosofía griega insistían en que era Dios.
The years David spent in fields and on hills tending sheep prepared him for the demanding duties and responsibilities of shepherding the nation of Israel.
While the Bible says that he is God's Son, he was fully opposed by the Greek philosophy that was God's God.

Los años que pasó David en el campo cuidando ovejas lo prepararon para las importantes obligaciones que asumiría al convertirse en el pastor de la nación de Israel.
It takes courage and strong faith for them to open their heart to others once again.
What helped David to care for the important responsibilities he would take to become the shepherd of the nation of Israel?

Cuestiones implicadas en el drama
We would do well to ask ourselves, " Do I accept Jehovah's authority in the matter of marriage, or has the world's lax attitude affected my thinking? '
Keeping in the Drama

Todos hacemos bien en preguntarnos lo siguiente: "¿Acepto la autoridad de Jehová en la cuestión del matrimonio? ¿ O he permitido, más bien, que la actitud relajada del mundo influya en mí? ."
The 19th - century English scholar Charles Bridges noted: "Surround the intractable metal beneath and above; not only putting it over the fire, but heaping coals of fire upon it.
We do well to ask ourselves, " Do I accept Jehovah's authority in the matter of marriage? ' Or have I allowed the loose attitude of the world to influence me? "

Unlike many humans with power or influence, Jehovah is not swayed by material wealth or outward appearance. He is free from bias or favoritism.
For my transgressions I myself know, and my sin is in front of me constantly. "

A diferencia de muchos seres humanos poderosos o influyentes, él no deja que pesen en sus decisiones las riquezas materiales o las apariencias, ni tiene prejuicios ni favoritismos de ningún tipo.
David knew that he did not possess anything good that he had not received from Jehovah. - Compare 1 Corinthians 4: 7.
Unlike many powerful or influential humans, he does not let them go through the decisions of material or possessions, nor has favoritism or favoritism.

" My experience made me think about the company we keep, " says Joe, who is a Christian elder. " Swim where it's safe and enjoyable - in the congregation! "

Ahora bien, el que llevaran espadas la noche en que Jesús fue traicionado permitió que les enseñara una lección fundamental: "Todos los que toman la espada perecerán por la espada ."
In the vision recorded in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, the glorified Jesus Christ inspects the seven congregations of Asia Minor.

Growing numbers of Gentiles were embracing the Christian faith. The question was, Should the men be circumcised according to the Jewish custom before presenting themselves for baptism?
HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER?

Después de él abrazaron la fe cristiana más y más gentiles, lo cual desató una complicada polémica: ¿debían ellos circuncidarse, de acuerdo con la norma de Israel, antes de recibir el bautismo?
Like Paul and Apollos, they plant and water. But even though they work hard, the results differ.
After he embraced the most and more Gentile Christian faith, would he be circumcised, in line with the law of Israel before being baptized?

Al igual que Pablo y Apolos, ellos plantan y riegan; pero por mucho que se esfuercen, no todos logran los mismos resultados.
He contacted the Witnesses, admitted his mistake, and was reinstated as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
