The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom (Study)—2021 states that Jesus exposed false religious teachings and beliefs and didn’t say all religious beliefs were acceptable to God. Instead in Matthew 7:13,14 states that “many who would be on the spacious road that leads to destruction whereas only a few would be on the cramped road to life.” Jesus was clear. Some would appear to serve God, but the reality was that they were not serving him, their heart would be divided and they would serve him the wrong way, or lead a double life. Jesus warned: “Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them.”​—Matt. 7:15-20.

Bible prophecy said the Messiah would be consumed by zeal for God‘s house. (Ps. 69:9) Like the article mentions “That zeal moved Jesus to expose false religious beliefs and practices. For instance, the Pharisees believed that the soul is immortal; Jesus taught that the dead are sleeping. (John 11:11) The Sadducees denied the resurrection; Jesus resurrected his friend Lazarus.”

Also, as for your question can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit? The answer is no. Let‘s put an example if a tree has parasites and bares fruit, will the fruit be good? No, of course not because the parasites have ruined the inside and outside of the tree, the functions within the tree that focuses on producing good fruit. So, the fruit will come out with defects, perhaps sickly even. This of course in the literal sense, but if we’re to apply this to people the principal would apply the same. Can you change a psychopath? Can you impose emotions on a psychopath? No. The same, can you change a person who deliberately becomes evil and enjoys their dark ways? No.

Let’s put the example of Satan the Devil. The Devil used to be a good angel. In fact, the Bible explains he is a very handsome being. His deeds in heaven used to be like that of a tree producing good fruit. But, what happened? His own heart grew greedy, he was stubborn and wanted God’s celestial position. So, he tricked Eve and lured her into eating the fruit. Here, Satan became a corrupt tree that produced evil fruit. He was no longer a good angel but instead a wicked being who desired power and glory for himself. From this corrupt angel, can there be any good within him? Does he regret what he’s done? No. The Bible states Satan is the ruler of the Earth and that he causes the problems we have on Earth such as suffering, wars and death.

Three types of plays that grew from the Christian church were: _____
liq [111]

The correct answers are B. Miracle plays; C. Mystery plays and F. Morality plays

Explanation:

During the Middle Ages from the 5th century to the 14th century in Europe, the Christian church had a major role in society and because of this, its power extended to different fields including theater. In this field, the church tried to reinforced its power and  spread faith and morality through three kinds of plays, the first one is miracle plays that used the life of saints and the theme of miracles to convey religious teachings; the second one was mystery plays that were quite similar to miracle plays as the word "mystery" did not mean secret or unknown but made reference to the extraordinary and supernatural events, because of this in mystery plays themes from the Bible such as the creation were included to teach the general population about the Bible; and the third one were morality plays that taught appropriate behaviors and practices as well as the consequences of not following the church. Therefore, the three types of plays that grew from the Christian church were miracle plays, mystery plays, and morality plays.

ANTONII [103]
I would say the correct answer is <span>C. The author doesn't use any facts to support such a claim, so it can't be proven. When making this kind of claim, one has to support it with facts, e.g. artists make this or that percent of their income on concerts and commercials, which clearly proves that they don't depend on the money from CDs etc. The options A and B are not correct because they rely on "everyone knows", which is not true, and is also not supported with facts. The D option isn't correct because one doesn't need to know every artist personally to be able to make a claim based on facts.</span>
