 • Romans 4:19-25  Matthew 9:9-17 

            ☀️ Romans 4:19-25

19 - Abraham didn’t weaken in his faith {that he and Sarah would have a son} when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old. Or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. 20 He didn’t waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God! Instead he grew strong in his faith, as he gave glory to God. 21 For he was fully convinced that God was able to do what he had said and what he promised. 22 And that’s why his faith was “reckoned to him as righteousness.”

    23 But the words “it was reckoned to him” were not written for only his sake! 24 But for ours as well. It will be reckoned to us who believe in he who raised Jesus our Lord out from the dead [nekros - dead, deceased, lifeless, without life] 25 who was delivered over for our trespasses, and raised for our justification.

            🌙 Matthew 9:9-17

9 - As Jesus was walking on, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collecting booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. {Matthew who’s account this is, was a tax collector, who were not popular with fellow Hebrews/Israelis/Jews, as the taxes collected were for Imperial Rome. World domination - Imperialism - being the main dream of the rogue powers and principalities.}

     10 And as Jesus was reclined at table in the house of Matthew, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining at table with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this! They asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But Jesus heard it, and said, “Those who are not ill, don’t need a physician, the ones who are not well do. 13 Go and learn what this means - ‘It’s mercy I desire, and not sacrifices.’ I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” {There’s no sense calling those who think they are righteous.}

     14 Some disciples of John (the Baptist) came looking for him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t?” 15 Jesus answered them with a question, “Can the wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away, and then they’ll fast. 16 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment as a patch, for when the new cloth shrinks, it will tear the garment worse than before. 17 And we don’t put new wine in an old wineskin, for the skin will burst, spilling the wine and ruining the skin. But new wine is put into new wineskins, so both the wine and the skin are preserved.”

ACTS 15 1-21

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased [ ] ref { } thots

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - Some men came down from Judea and were teaching “Unless you’re circumcised according to the custom and law of Moses, you cannot be a follower and disciple” {of Jesus, which is the “new and living way” Heb.10:20}.

     2 After Paul and Barnabas had spent some time arguing with, and trying to convince them, Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders to consult with them about the matter.

     3 And being sent on their way by their fellow believers, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, and were describing in detail the conversion of Gentiles (non Hebrews) which was bringing great joy to all the believers who heard it.

     4 When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the believers, and the apostles and elders. And they told them all that God had been doing during their travels among Gentile cities. 5 But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “It’s necessary for all non Hebrew believers to be circumcised, and ordered to keep all the law of Moses!”

    6 So the apostles and elders gathered together to discuss the matter. 7 And after there had been much discussion, Peter stood up and said, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God had me preach to the Gentiles, so they would hear the word of the gospel [euaggelion - good news, good message] and believe. 8 And God, who knows the heart, bore testimony by giving them his Holy Spirit (his Presence) just as he did to us! 9 He made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.” [Israel had always been required to stay separate from other nations. In order to be swaddling cloths for Messiah, the “Savior of the world”.]

     10 “So now, why should we put God to the test by putting a yoke upon the neck of disciples? A yoke neither our fathers nor we have been able to carry! 11 And we know we are saved {and enabled} through the grace of the Lord Jesus. And now we know, just as they too, are.”

     12 And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they told about the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles. 13 And after they finished speaking, James said, “Brothers, listen to me. 14 Simeon Peter also has related how God has visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it’s written - 16 ‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle/tent of David that has fallen. I will rebuild its ruins, and restore it, 17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name has been called” (Amos 9:11-12) 18 who makes these things known from of old. 19 Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles (other nations) who turn to God, 20 but should write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols, and sexual immorality. And to abstain from what has been strangled and from blood. 21 For from ancient times, Moses, is still read in all the synagogues on every Sabbath.” [The Christian disciple’s law is love, as “love works no ill”. It’s summarized as love God and love your fellow person.]  {And surely, the first will just naturally cause the second!? So in all simplicity our one rule is - Love God - “in spirit and truth”.}

 • Romans 4:14-18  Matthew 9:1-8 and ACTS 15:1-21 separately

            ☀️ Romans 4:14-18

14 - For if it’s following of the law that makes one an HEIR, then faith is nullified and void. And the promise is empty. 15 For the law brings wrath. {Cause and effect!} If there was no law, then, no one could be said to be a lawbreaker..

     16 That’s why the promise and gift {of enduring Life, immortality/perfection.. or rather, perfection/immortality for God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48} depends on faith {knowing, concretely, by experience} in order that the promise may stand on grace. [Charis - favor, kindness, blessing; the Greek xáris "grace" is as the Hebrew (OT) Kaná - "grace, extension-toward". Both refer to God freely extending Himself (His favor, kindness, blessing) reaching (inclining) to people because He is disposed to bless (be near) them - from biblehub dot com’s interlinear.]

     The promise is guaranteed {“sealed” notarized, totally official, guaranteed} to all Abraham’s offspring {which offspring is reckoned as Jesus, “seed Jesus” - Gal.3:16} not only to the adherents of the law, but also to the ones who share the faith he had. [Before circumcision, a sign and seal of Abraham’s faith, see previous verses.] {Self first and foremost to be removed from humanity and each person. Because it can never work. Logic. We see what sort of world it brings.}

     Father Abraham, is father of all! 17 As it’s written, “I have made you a father of nations” [Gen.17:5]. And he walked before God/in his Presence, in whom he believed. In He who gives life to the dead, and calls into existence the things that don’t (yet) exist. 18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of nations, as he had been told - “So shall your offspring be.” [Abraham lived in the desert, and one starry night when Abraham was an old man, God told him, “I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the heavens” and “I will make you a father of a multitude of nations”.]

     [Galatians 3:16 and 29 - “The promises were made to Abraham and to his seed (offspring). Not ‘to offsprings’ as many, but referring ‘to one - to your offspring’ which is Christ.” (THE seed ..implanted.) “And if YOU are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, and an HEIR according to promise.”] {And not according to works/earning. Life is a gift, not earned as though God ‘owed’ us. GOD/Life/Love, shall be “all, in all” 1Cor.15:28(22-28) with Mt.13:33, key word 3.}

            🌙 Matthew 9:1-8

1 - And getting into a boat Jesus crossed back over to his own town. 2 And some people carried to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son, your sins are forgiven.”

     3 And some of the scribes {considered authorities} thought to theirselves, “This man is blaspheming!” 4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why think evil [ponéros- evil, wicked, bad, malicious] in your hearts? 5 For what’s easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or, ‘Rise up and walk’? 6 But so you may know the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” he said to the paralytic, “Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 7 And the man rose, picked up his bed/mat, and went home. 8 When the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to a man. {And from whom the blessing/miracle/sign had come}.

            ☀️ Romans 4:9-13

(Paul continues his theme. Circumcision was a sign and pledge to follow Moses’ society preservative “Laws”. He goes on later to say it represents the circumcision of the heart. {Both individual and collective.})

     9 - Is this blessing then only for the circumcised? Or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that - faith - was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was before. 11 He received circumcision as a sign. A seal (proof, guarantee) to him, of the righteousness that was his by faith, while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised (everyone not Hebrew) so that righteousness would be reckoned to them as well. 12 And to make him the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the faith our father Abraham walked in, and before he was circumcised. {Walking in now, before the self first and foremost is fully removed/circumcised from humanity. Each person perfected in one of two (partially collective) vivifications.}

     13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world, didn’t come through the law but (as a gift) through the righteousness of faith. {Like? Here’s the Gift. Take it.}

     {If circumcision is done on the “8th day” - why not the eighth MILLENNIAL ‘day’ for humanity. Note : It was an accelerated big bang into the universe as is. Then, it was set into motion.. And during the 8th day (millenium) of it, the “last great day” (Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37) is what?

     What follows “the” millennium? Rev.20. is told like describing the crests of waves..}

            🌙 Matthew 8:28-34

28 - And when Jesus came to the other side of the lake, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs. They were so fierce that no one could pass by that way. 29 And they cried out in loud voices, “What have you to do with us! O Son of God! Have you come here to torment us before the time!”

     30 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding in a field nearby. 31 And the demons said, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs!” 32 And he said, “Go.” So they came out of the men and went into the pigs. And squealing loudly, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea. And they drowned in the waters.

     33 The herdsmen who saw it, fled. And going into the city they told everything that had happened. 34 And all the city came out to see. And then they asked Jesus to go away.  {A living parable.. like life itself.}

 • Romans 4:1-8  Matthew 8:18-27

            ☀️ Romans 4:1-8

1 - What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the natural? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about. But not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.”

     4 Now to the one who works, his wages aren’t counted as a gift! But as his due, and what he has earned. 5 Yet to the one who doesn’t work {to earn Life, relying on one’s effort} but believes in he who justifies the ungodly {and imperfect} their faith is reckoned as righteousness. 6 This is just as David spoke of the blessing of the one to whom God reckons as righteous, apart from works. {Apart from trying to earn what GOD says is a gift. Just like life is a gift. BE a whole burnt offering to him. Yielded into his hands for the transforming POWER - “Let us” Father and Son “make mankind in our image” {reflection, likeness, replication}.

     7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the person, upon whom the LORD will not reckon sin [hamartia - missing the mark].” {Slate is clean.. born again of the Spirit/Presence of God, with one “rule” - not to earn, but for one’s own self -  love God (pursue, listen, his voice is in the Quietness). Rule 1 fulfills all others, for in it is genuine love and affection for our fellow person. And “love works no ill”. But we do not “put on perfection and (thus) immortality” until the resurrection at his return for long second advent. Rev.16:13-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13 as Mt.13:30.}

            🌙 Matthew 8:18-27

18 - There was such a big crowd following Jesus, that he decided to go to the other side of the lake. 19 And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!” 20 But Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

     21 Another disciple [mathétés - disciple, learner, pupil] said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” {Entropic. Imperfect =‘s entropy, the slow gehenna fire that cannot be put out. And the worm that doesn’t quit, in this living ‘parable’ of the decomposing ‘apple’.}

     23 And when he got into the boat, the twelve did as well. 24 But there arose a great storm and the boat was being swamped by the waves.

     Meanwhile Jesus was sleeping. 25 So they woke him, and said, “Save us, Lord! We’re perishing!” 26 And he said, “Why are you afraid, oh ye of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the waves, and there was a great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying, “What manner of man is this, that even the winds and sea obey him?”

BOOK OF REVELATION

1 - Then I (John) saw another sign in heaven, great and awe inspiring, seven angels with seven plagues [plégé - blow, stripe, wound, affliction, plague] which are the last (effects, pinpointing cause) for with them the wrath [thymós - expressed passion, fierce anger, indignation] of God is finished. {The culmination of cause and effect.. To be angry and indignant against evils carried out is only righteous. Worldly trying to influence is a trying to enchant. God doesn’t like dog eat dog?}

    2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass as mingled with fire {life as we presently know it..? imperfect, still beautiful, but also an abyss of potential} and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. 3 And they sang the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and wonderful are your works [érgon - from ergō - to work, accomplish] O LORD God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! 4 Who will not fear/revere, O LORD, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” [Ro.3:4 “..as it has been written about God, ‘That You (God) may be justified in YOUR words, and will prevail in Your being judged’."]

     5 After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle/tent of witness/testimony in the heavens was opened 6 And out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven (final) plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests. 7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath {final results of “seven thunders”?} of God who lives forever and ever, 8 and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed [teleó - to bring to an end, complete, fulfill; from télos - consummation, completion, this root (tel-) means "reaching the end (aim)." It is well-illustrated with the old pirate's telescope, unfolding (extending out) one stage at a time to function at full-strength/ultimately full scope] - }Examples, 70 CE, smaller scope, history’s consummation, full scope.

3:24 - (Verse 23 - All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God) 24 justified [dikaioó - justified, declared righteous, acquitted] freely by his grace - as a gift [dórean - freely, without cost]. A gift, by his grace [charis - grace favor, kindness, blessing] through the redemption [apolutrósis - deliverance, redemption, no lein, paid in full, recovery] that’s in Christ Jesus. 25 The one God put forward as a propitiation [hilastérion - propitiation, atonement cover, mercy seat] by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness! Because in his divine forbearance he has “passed over” our missing the mark. [Mercy Seat of God.. a means of appeasement or atonement - I am convinced it’s the human conscience that needs to be appeased.. due to the trickily honest psyche.. "Mercy Seat" - Judge who pardons? - is the lid of the Ark of the Covenant where the high priest would sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice on the “Day” of Atonement. The sacrifice has to be such that it can appease eveRy conscience. Imperfect/“missing the mark” is an abyss of potential. Think even the worst of the very worst.] 

     26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (Romans 11:32 - “HE has subjected all to disobedience..” Ours to learn “why”.)

     27 So then what becomes of our boasting? It’s done away with! By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we proclaim that one is justified by faith, apart from works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of the Jews (Hebrews) only? Is he not the God of Gentiles/the nations as well? Yes, of the nations also, 30 since God will justify the circumcised (followers of the Laws of Moses) by faith and the uncircumcised by faith as well. 31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? No! On the contrary, we uphold the law. {Summed up as love, genuine affection, concern, and respect.}

            🌙 Matthew 8:1-17

8:1 - When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds were following him. 2 A leper came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will! You can make me clean!” 3 Jesus reached out his hand and touching him, said, “I will. Be clean.” The leprosy immediately disappeared, 4 and Jesus said, “Don’t tell anyone. {Spreading the news abroad.} But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses instructed, as a proof to them.”

     5 When he was in Capernaum, a Roman centurion came and said to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And Jesus said, “I’ll come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion said, “Lord, I’m not worth your having to come under my roof! Only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a man with authority, I have soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

     10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those around him, “Truly, I tell you, no where in all Israel have I found such faith! 11 Many, I tell you, will come from east and west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 while sons and daughters of the kingdom will be outside the light, in darkness, where there’s weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Surely inner! And portrayed in both the rich man and Lazarus parable and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22. With gnashing of teeth progressing to weeping.. and beating self up with many stripes, because Jesus said he “will draw all” Jn.12:32.}

    13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go on home! You’ll find it done for you just as you’ve believed!” And the servant was healed at that very hour.

     14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying sick with a fever, 15 so he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose up and began to prepare a meal for them. 16 And that evening they brought to the house many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our illnesses and carried our diseases.”

     21 But now - the righteousness of God has been revealed - as apart from the law. The Law and the Prophets point to 22 the righteousness of God - which is through faith in Jesus Christ. Through faith in Jesus for all who believe.

21 - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one doing the will of my Father, who’s in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘But Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons in your name? And do many mighty works [dunamis - power, strength, ability, might, miracle, energy, works] in your name?’ 23 Then [tote - then, at that time] I will say to them, ‘I’ve never known you, depart(ed?)

     24 Everyone then who hears these words of mine, and does them, will be like a wise person who built their house on the rock. 25 And when the rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew, beating upon the house, it didn’t fall, because it had been built on the rock.

     28 When Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 for he taught them as one with certainty [exousia - authority, power, right, jurisdiction, dominion] and not like the scribes.
