Someone may insist that we support a certain person or ask us to take sides regarding what we see on television.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> It can also be a test to constantly hear conversations about polls, demonstrations, or government decisions. Even if we say nothing, we need to watch what begins to stir within us.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> The video shows that even following the news too closely can influence us. If we carelessly expose ourselves to political topics, it may be more difficult to maintain a balanced attitude.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> Sports could also test our heart. Wanting our country or our team to win can feed pride or nationalism if we allow it to occupy too much space.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> A test may arise when family members or workmates have very strong opinions. We want to treat them with respect, but without allowing them to draw us into arguments or taking sides.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u7 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> In some places, demonstrations are very visible. Even if we do not participate, we should ask ourselves whether inwardly we are allowing ourselves to be infected by a spirit of competition or protest.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> Sometimes the pressure does not come from others but from our sense of justice. The video shows that someone may think he is defending what is right and, without realizing it, develop political opinions.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u9 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> Informal conversations can be a test. A simple question about something in the news may lead us to express an opinion that reveals that we have already taken sides in our heart.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> Perhaps no one will openly ask us to support anyone. But pressure may be evident when it is considered strange that someone is not excited or angry about current political matters.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u11 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> Neutrality may be tested when we identify too closely with a country&#039;s achievements. The video helped us see that no national victory changes the value Jehovah places on people.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-s1u12 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> That is why it is good to honestly recognize which situations affect us most. Then we can make adjustments before our feelings move us to speak or act in a less-than-neutral way.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-christian_life-section\">Why might it sometimes be difficult not to take sides?<\/h3><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> It may be difficult because we see real problems and want there to be justice. But that desire should not make us think that a human solution will resolve what only God\u2019s Kingdom can solve.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u2 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> People around us may speak with great confidence and emotion. If everyone has a firm opinion, we may be tempted to do the same so as not to seem different.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> The video shows that someone may believe he is neutral because he does not participate in political activities. However, he may still be taking sides in his thoughts and feelings.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> News and media can arouse indignation, fear, or enthusiasm. If we consume too much political information, those emotions may more easily direct the way we think.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> Sometimes we confuse neutrality with doing nothing outwardly. But the video experience teaches that Jehovah also wants us to examine what we support in our heart.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> It may be hard for us because we have deeply rooted personal preferences. The person in the video had to recognize that his way of thinking was not as close to God\u2019s as he imagined.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u7 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> Pride can make neutrality difficult. For example, feeling superior because our country or team wins can feed attitudes that do not reflect how Jehovah views people.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> When an issue seems unjust to us, we may feel that we must defend a position. But remaining neutral shows that we trust Jehovah\u2019s solution, not human governments.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u9 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> It is also difficult because politics is often presented as a subject everyone must follow. The video shows that reducing such exposure can help us control our conversations better.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> We may feel a desire to win, just like fans of a team. That competitive impulse can appear in national or political matters and cause us to lose our balance.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u11 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> Sometimes we justify ourselves by thinking that we are merely well-informed. However, we must analyze whether certain information is feeding opinions and feelings that affect our neutrality.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s2 ctj-unit-s2u12 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> Not taking sides requires humility. We must accept that our perception of what is just may need correction and allow Bible counsel to reach our heart.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-christian_life-section\">How do these verses help you to be neutral?<\/h3><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u1 ctj-bible-bible_001 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proverbs 4:23<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Above all the things that you guard, safeguard your heart, For out of it are the sources of life.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> This counsel helps me remember that neutrality begins in the heart. It is not enough to avoid certain actions; I need to protect my thoughts, feelings, and reactions regarding political matters.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u3 ctj-bible-bible_002 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luke 4:5-6<\/strong> \u2014 <em>So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time. Then the Devil said to him: \u201cI will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> These verses show that the kingdoms of this world are connected with an authority that the Devil claimed he could give. This strengthens my decision not to support any political system.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> Proverbs moves me to ask myself what I am allowing into my heart. If a news report or conversation awakens a strong political inclination, it is time to make adjustments.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> The words addressed to Jesus make clear that he did not seek glory or authority through the kingdoms of the world. His example teaches me not to put my trust in them.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u7 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> These texts help me see why feelings matter. Even if no one knows what we think, Jehovah sees the heart, and we want complete loyalty to his Kingdom to reign there.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> When a tense situation arises, Proverbs encourages me to stop and watch what is happening inside me. Thus I avoid allowing indignation or enthusiasm to make me lose my neutrality.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u9 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> Luke reminds me that the glory of the kingdoms may seem attractive, but it is not God\u2019s solution. This helps me maintain a clear view and not idealize any government.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> The two passages complement each other well: one teaches me to guard my heart, and the other gives me a powerful reason not to support the kingdoms of this world.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u11 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> These verses give me a basis for being respectful toward everyone without feeling that I must admire, defend, or promote any political or national group.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u12 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> They help me cultivate conviction, not merely prudence. My neutrality does not depend on avoiding problems but on recognizing that God\u2019s Kingdom is the only true solution.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u13 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> If I guard my heart, it will be easier to control what I say. Thus I can respond respectfully when others talk about politics without allowing the conversation to push me into taking sides.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-s3u14 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> These texts also move me to pray. I can ask Jehovah to help me detect any feeling that is displacing my trust in his Kingdom.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-christian_life-section\">Which verses would you use to explain why you have decided to remain neutral?<\/h3><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u1 ctj-bible-bible_001 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proverbs 4:23<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Above all the things that you guard, safeguard your heart, For out of it are the sources of life.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> I would use this text to explain that my decision is not merely external. I want to guard my heart, because from it come my words, decisions, and way of treating others.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u3 ctj-bible-bible_002 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luke 4:5-6<\/strong> \u2014 <em>So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time. Then the Devil said to him: \u201cI will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> This passage explains why I do not place my hope in the kingdoms of this world. I recognize that political authority does not represent the permanent solution God has promised.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> I could explain that these texts help me maintain a clean conscience. I do not want my emotions, even regarding matters that seem important, to replace my trust in the Kingdom.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> I would also say that the Bible teaches me not to let a desire for justice move me to support a human solution. I prefer to trust what Jehovah will do through his Kingdom.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u7 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> These verses allow me to explain that I treat all people with respect. But I do not take sides because I want my heart to be loyal to Jehovah and his Kingdom.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> If someone asks why I do not express political opinions, I can say that I want to guard what I feed inwardly and not allow a human position to direct my hope.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u9 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> I find it useful to explain that neutrality does not mean indifference to suffering. It means that I am convinced that the fairest and most lasting solution is God\u2019s Kingdom.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> I could use these passages to clarify that my position does not come from a lack of interest. It comes from a conscious decision not to trust the kingdoms of the world.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u11 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> These texts help me explain simply that I do not want to be controlled by the excitement of winning or by pressure to support what others consider best.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u12 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> A respectful response could be: \u201cI try to keep my heart protected and my trust placed in God\u2019s Kingdom.\u201d This conveys our position without starting an argument.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u13 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> I can also point out that Jesus did not accept the glory or authority of the kingdoms. His example helps me understand why I want to remain separate from political disputes.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-s4u14 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> These verses are useful for giving a positive explanation. We do not merely say what we do not do; we express with conviction where we have placed our hope.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-christian_life-section\">What did you learn from this video that can help you be neutral in your heart?<\/h3><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> I learned that I may appear neutral outwardly and still need to make changes inwardly. It is important to sincerely examine whether my feelings support a political position.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u2 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> I was struck by the fact that one person reduced his exposure to political news. This helped him avoid feeding strong emotions or conversations that could affect his neutrality.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> The video showed that not participating in a demonstration is not enough if we allow ourselves to be infected by its spirit. Jehovah wants us to be neutral in our feelings as well.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> I learned not to justify political opinions by saying that I have a sense of justice. I need to determine whether my way of thinking really agrees with Jehovah\u2019s.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> The experience with soccer teaches that even a wholesome interest must be kept in its proper place. We do not want pride or nationalism to influence our heart.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> I liked that the sister prayed and studied the article again. This shows that when we recognize a weakness, we can ask Jehovah for help and make concrete changes.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u7 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> The video teaches that limiting certain content can be a practical spiritual decision. If we do not continually feed a political topic, it will be easier not to become emotionally involved.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> I learned that publications can act like a mirror. We do not study them merely to confirm what we already think, but to humbly discover where we need to improve.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u9 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> It helped me to see that neutrality does not mean having a secret political opinion. It means being convinced that no government compares with God\u2019s Kingdom.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> The experience shows that a brief answer can respectfully end a political conversation. Saying that we did not see a news report can prevent us from becoming involved in debates.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u11 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> I learned that we must watch the emotion of wanting someone to win. That emotion can appear both in sports and in political matters and affect our balance.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s5 ctj-unit-s5u12 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> The video strengthened my desire to speak with conviction about the Kingdom. When I am sure that it alone will solve human problems, it becomes easier to remain neutral.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-christian_life-section\">According to the study article mentioned in the video, what four key points can help us remain neutral? (w16.04 27-31).<\/h3><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> One key point is to remember that all people are equal in Jehovah\u2019s eyes. That perspective protects us from thinking that one group, country, or position is superior to the others.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u2 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> Another point is to control our exposure to political information. The video shows that reducing it helped a sister avoid feeding opinions or becoming trapped in controversial conversations.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> A third point is not to allow ourselves to be infected by the spirit of protest. Even if we do not participate outwardly, we must reject in our heart the desire for one side to win.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> The fourth point is not to express political opinions. To do this, it is not enough to remain silent; we need to keep our thoughts and feelings neutral, convinced that the Kingdom is the best solution.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> The four points support one another. Viewing everyone as equal makes it easier not to take sides or allow national or political pride to influence us.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> Limiting the news does not mean losing interest in people. It is a measure to protect our heart and preserve our trust in the solution Jehovah will provide.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u7 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> Not allowing ourselves to be infected by the spirit of protest requires honesty. We can ask ourselves: \u201cEven if I do not participate, am I inwardly cheering for a certain group to win?\u201d<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> Not expressing political opinions also protects our unity. Thus we avoid allowing matters of this world to divide us and can focus on the hope we all share.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u9 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> The idea that everyone is equal corrects any feeling of superiority. Jehovah does not value people according to their nationality or their country\u2019s victories.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> We can apply these points practically by reviewing what we watch, hear, and comment on. That regular review helps us detect inclinations before they grow.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u11 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> The video shows a good practical aid: writing down the key points and reviewing them. Keeping them in mind can strengthen us when pressure arises at work or in our surroundings.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s6 ctj-unit-s6u12 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> Taken together, these points help us maintain neutrality that springs from conviction. We do not trust in human solutions but in God\u2019s Kingdom, and that is evident in our heart.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments and answers for Living as Christians for the
