What can we learn from history ?

Question

What can we learn from history, that gives us the answers to each questions, by looking at the pattern of what is and what is not in connection with the qualities in connection with Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:21-23

Answer 1

How ironic that a question and Scripture about *NOT* reviling has an answer that reviles "Watchtower" and Jehovah's Witnesses!!!

The Scripture mentioned in the question is an interesting one:
(1 Peter 2:21-23) In fact, to this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely. 22 He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth. 23 When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously.

As mentioned, it's ironic. The lesson is that no godly purpose is served by attacking a particular religion, or by angrily responding to such attacks. Even a few reasonable Pharisees in the first century recognized that with regard to the Christians:
(Acts 5:38-39) Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, you may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”


Really, when a person or group insists on fighting against a particular religion, does that person or group not realize that his attacks serve MOSTLY to fulfill Scripture? The Scriptures teach that such hatred should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:

(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.

(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.

(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.


It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.
