ENTER THE STORY - A NEW TESTAMENT READING SCHEDULE

   ⛲️☀️ Father is the fountain of Life.

   No option to stray in Eden = Ant Farm

BiG banG — > universe — > then set in motion

for “8 days”/millennia. Lev.23 is the advents.

    “In the beginning God..” and the only straight out from God one, the Son, “forever first”/proto. Father & Son being so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence.

   The being worked out blueprint - Father’s Presence will saturate, thus “seal” all creation, all mankind - Jesus is the prototype - all angelkind, animalkind, singing bird kind, &tc. “The cow will graze with the bear, their young will pasture and lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox” Isaiah 11:7. [Summed up in 1Timothy 4:10 and Luke 1:37.] Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 & Mt.25:1-13; Rev.20 tells crests only; seal description veils the seals & vision; vision is told 3 times; 13:13 is the seal6 1st event showing an office; 1Cor.15:22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3! (1Pet.3:19 -> 2Pet.2:5); it’s Dan.12:11-12 w/ Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16! W/ last “10 days” escalation, Rev.2:10, then Is.24:20/Rev.10:4.

All, in translation, was changed to all things.

Jesus said he “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

A work finished during his long

09-04 - James 1 23-27 Mark 10 17-27

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 1:23-27

23 - If we are a hearer of the word, and not also a doer, it’s like looking intently at ourself in a mirror one minute, 24 and then going away the next minute, and forgeting what we look like!

     25 But if we look into the perfect law - the Law of Liberty - and persevere, being no hearer who forgets, but a doer who {knows and so} does {who “follows” because we are convinced and believe} we will be blessed! {It is the work of God’s Spirit/Presence that “convinces”. The translation “convict” is the extreme. Needed in the case of despots, etc? And in some other cases? We are psychological beings. Why the remedy had to be dramatic enough to convince and appease every conscience. Deep down we don’t want to be imperfect (cause of entropy, that “doesn’t quit”). We want to be be “like Jesus”. The prodigal son or daughter returned home to Father who cherishes. Prodigal erased like it had never been. Concerning the world, does he have “wrath”?! Sure.. wouldn’t you? Concerning all abuses! But he’s still “savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. And sent his onLy straight out from him one, to be “savior of the world” 1Jn.4:14. But surely(?) his wrath is cause and effect. During early - formative - times he did do some intervention, and those sleeping in death will thank him for his intervention! Surely? Imperfection is an abyss of potential. Pre flood was hands off? Next they know will be resurrection into GWT ‘Day’ of Judgment/Discernment/Closure, and “Kolasin”/(K)Correction, during the latter part of Jesus’ long second advent, Rev.20 (told like describing crests of waves). Full scope version of his first so brief one?}

     26 If anyone thinks they’re religious but cannot bridle their words, they deceive theirself. And their religion is useless [mataios - vain, aimless, without purpose, not useful]. 27 Religion that is pure and uncontaminated before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction {this isn’t make human government all powerful, aka, supplying all things, so owns all things, only a Perfect Being can run the commune} and to keep oneself free from the vices of the world. {Which includes all malice and division.. the serpent speaks in our own voice “I care about orphans and widows, but those ‘others’ over there don’t!” And on and on what a trap. Beware the leaven of politics/power/division (the Pharisees were of). It surely(?) leads nowhere good, aNd, it’s a lie. A captivity. Siren call to armageddon. It’s those who are still tares who are gathered to it.. near or far doesn’t matter? Is.24:20/Rev.10:4. Mt.13:30 in context is Rev.16:14-15-16 oR Mt.25:1-13.}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 10:17-27

17 - Later, as he set out and was walking along, a man ran up, knelt before him and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit the enduring life?” [Aiónios - ages long (life).] (There’s not really a word for ‘forever’ in the Greek.. or the Old Testament Hebrew. But logically, true Life, being God himself, 1Jn.5:20, is, of course, enduring (Life.)

     18 And Jesus answered the man, “Why do you call me good! No one is good except God. 19 As you know the commandments,  ‘don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, don’t defraud, and honor your father and mother.’”

     20 And the man exclaimed, “Teacher! I have kept all these from my youth!” 21 And Jesus, with affection said, “I see that you lack one thing! Go and sell all you have. And give to the poor. You’ll have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”

     22 Saddened, the man went away, sorrowful, for he had great wealth.

     23 And Jesus told his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have great possessions to enter the kingdom of God!” {And we’re urged to envy them!} 24 And the disciples were amazed and wondered.

     But Jesus explained, “Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were surprised.

     “Then who” they said, “can be saved?!” 27 Jesus answered, “With man it’s impossible, but with God, eveRything is possible.”

09-03 - James 1 16-22 Luke 9 51-62

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 1:16-22

16 - Don’t be misled, my beloved brethren! 17 Every good gift, every perfect gift {every good thing in life} is from above! It comes down from the Father of light [of photon - radiance]. And he is not like the shifting shadows that change throughout each day.

     18 It is his own will and intent, that he brought us forth. And he did so by the word [logos - message, reasoning, root word of logic] of truth. {By the logos/reasoning/logic of truth}. And did so that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. {To serve called reigning during Jesus’ long second advent? Full scope version of his first so brief one? Note: the three mentions of lake of fire are at huge fiery events.}

      19 Know this, my beloved, let every one be quick to hear, but slow to speak. And slow to anger! 20 For human anger doesn’t produce the righteousness {and rightness} of God. 21 Therefore having put away all moral contamination and rampant wickedness [kakopoiéō - wicked disposition, malice, wickedness] {state of hatred? malice, galatians 5:20}. Instead receive with humility the implanted word [logos - reasoning, message, logic] which is able to save your souls [psuché - soul, life, self, inner being]. 22 So don’t be misled, my beloved brethren! Don’t deceive and mislead yourself! And be only hearers of the message. But be a doer [poiétés - doer, maker, poet] of it!

            🌙 P.M. Luke 9:51-62

51 - When the days drew near for his ascension [analémpsis - ascension, taking up] he set his face to go to Jerusalem. [Cross Ref - Jn.3:13 - No one has ascended [anabainó - rose, ascended, gone up] into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.]

     52 He sent messengers ahead, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But the people didn’t receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55 But he was indignant with them. 56 And they went on to another village. (John who later talked so much about Love! As an old man called everyone “my children”. This James is his brother. They were fishermen under their father, and their team was partners with that of Peter and Andrew, also brothers, and disciples.)

     57 As they were going along, someone said to him, “I’ll follow you wherever you go!” 58 But Jesus said, “Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hasn’t anywhere to lay his head!” 59 To someone else he said, “Follow me.” But he answered, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus said, “Let the dead bury the dead. And go, and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 And yet someone else said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at home.” 62 Jesus said to him, “No one putting their hand to the plow and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

09-02 - James 1 9-15 Mark 10 10-16

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 1:9-15

9 - Let the lowly person boast in their high position. 10 And the rich (boast) in their low state, for like a flower of the grass they (we all) pass away. 11 The sun rises with its scorching heat, and the grass withers {burns away! in a slow gehenna fire - entropy}. The flower fades, and its beauty perishes. So also do riches fade away even as they’re pursued..

     12 Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial, for when they’ve stood the test they’ll receive the crown of Life, which God promises to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when tempted, “I’m being tempted by God!” For God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt. 14 But each person is tempted when lured and enticed by their own desires. 15 For desire gives birth to sin. And sin when fully grown brings forth death. {Like grass we fade away.. dust to dust. God’s wrath? Unavoidable unless creation’s to be an ant farm? So get this one and done over with? Life and history as we presently know it, being the crucible. Experience being the only good teacher? And the dis-ease as part of the cure? And immunity..}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 10:10-16

10 - Later while in the house the disciples asked Jesus again about it. 11 And he said, “Whoever sends away his wife and weds another, commits adultery against her. 12 And if she goes away from her husband and marries another, she commits adultery [moichaó - breaks the marriage covenant].

     13 Some were bringing children to him so he might bless them. But the disciples were stopping them. 14 And when Jesus saw it, he was annoyed, “Let the children come to me,” he said. “Don’t keep them away, for to such as they, belongs the kingdom of God! 15 I tell you, truly, whoever doesn’t receive the kingdom of God like a little child, cannot enter in.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, and laying his hands on them, he blessed each one.

ACTS 9 1-20

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

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - (Pharisee) Saul was still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the high priest 2 and asked for letters to the synagogues of Damascus, saying if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he could arrest them and bring them to Jerusalem.

     3 Later, on his way to Damascus, a bright light suddenly shone all about him. 4 It was so bright he fell to the ground. And he heard a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

     5 And Saul said, “Who are you?” And the voice said, “I’m Jesus, the one you’re persecuting! 6 Get up now and go into the city, and you’ll be told what to do.”

     7 The others who were traveling with him were speechless, for they had heard the voice but didn’t see anyone. 8 Saul got up, and although his eyes were open, he couldn’t see a thing. So they led him into Damascus. 9 He wasn’t able to see for three days, during which time he didn’t eat or drink.

     10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.”

     Ananias said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11 And the Lord said, “Go to the street they call Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. He’s praying 12 and has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay hands on him so he might see.”

     13 But Ananias said, “Lord, I’ve heard about this man! How much evil he’s done to the believers at Jerusalem. 14 And now I hear he has authority from the leading priests {authorities of the nation} in Jerusalem to arrest all who call on your name.”

     15 But the Lord said to him, “Don’t worry, he’s a chosen vessel of mine to bring my name to the nations, before kings, and also to the children of Israel. 16 I’ll show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name [onoma - name, authority, cause].”

     17 So Ananias went and entered the house. Then laying his hands on him said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road has sent me to you so you may regain your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” {The Presence of God.}

     18 And immediately the darkness fell from his eyes, and he could see. Then Saul rose up and was baptized, 19 and taking food, he was strengthened.

      For some days he stayed with the disciples at Damascus. 20 And right away he went to the synagogues and proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He’s the Son of God!”

Next - 9:21-43

09-01 - James 1 1-8 Mark 1 1-9

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 1:1-8

(Likely the first letter we have.) 1 - From James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (Likely this James is Jesus’ natural brother who became a serious disciple and a leading apostle in Jerusalem after Jesus’ 1-death, 2-burial and 3-resurrection [1-Passover, 2-Unleavened Bread, 3-Firstfruits - the ancient Spring holy days fulfilled. Pentecost - ‘church’ age. Then Fall holy days to be fulfilled, Lev.23 with Rev.20-told like describing only the crests of waves. But in it, is the - entire - 2nd Advent.]

     To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings!

2 Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters when trials of various kinds come upon you! 3 For you know the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and stability. {Tested like steel in the forge of life. Life as we presently know it, the crucible, laver, sieve, which continues until one of two - written about - vivifications, but the second is not usually understood? The first, at the Lord’s return, the second at the “behold I make all new” - greek word “pas” - all, but translated, all things, Rev.21:1-5.}

     4 So let stability and steadfastness have its way, and full effect! {Let our roots go further down into the faith and the way.} So that you may be made perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. {Even Jesus was tempered. OnLy straight out from God one, so close to the Father, both administer God’s Spirit/Presence ..Forever First/Proto.. Even He was tempered.} {Pick up our cross.. be a whoLe sacrifice unto him. Aka submission. “He is the potter, we the clay.” With the money Judas threw back “they bought the potter’s field”. A field where broken clay pieces were tossed. I like the metaphor of that! And it reminds me how death is a sleep. There’s a lot of broken clay in God’s yet to be tended garden. We are invited to serve, called reigning during long 2nd advent? Mt.13:30, in context, is Mt.25:1-13 (and Rev.16:14-15-16). This is important to know?}

     5 If any of us lacks wisdom, let us ask God. For he gives generously to all - and without reproach - and it’ll be given to them. 6 But let us ask in faith, without doubting, for to doubt is to be like a wave of the sea, tossed about by various winds. 7 And then, that one can’t suppose they’ll receive! {Faith is like a ground wire?} 8 They’re being double-minded and unstable in their ways. {Remember the father of an afflicted son? Who cried “help Lord my unbelief!”}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 10:1-9

 1 - Jesus left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and then out beyond the Jordan, where crowds were again gathering to him. And as was his custom, he taught them.

      2 Pharisees showed up, and tried to test him. They asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 He answered, “What did Moses say?”

     4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send his wife away.” (Rather than sending her away without divorce!)

     5 And Jesus said, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment/instruction/law. 6 But at the beginning and forming of creation, ‘God made them male and female. 7 And therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two are one.’ So they’re no longer two but one. 9 What therefore God has joined together, man shouldn’t separate.” {Exception is of course, abuse! And also adultery, Mt.19:9, we’re all born sinners/missing the mark/imperfect. All in the same boat. Jesus didn’t scold the woman of Samaria he met at the well, who had had five husbands. Only once born anew can we hope to genuinely do better in this life, which is God’s goodness, not ours. Imperfect is an abyss of potential, and ultimately, how low can we go? Given enough time aNd circumstance.. I believe way low. That’s part of the contrast and its unavoidable, all important lesson? Thankfully GOD’s individual blueprint, of each one of us, is in us as well.}

08-31 - 3 John 1 9-14 Mark 9 33-50

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 3 John 1:9-14

9 - I (John) have written something to the church/group, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself as foremost, doesn’t welcome us. 10 So if I come, I’ll bring it up, along with the terrible nonsense he’s been saying against us. And not only that, but he also refuses to welcome the brothers, and he prevents those who want to welcome them from doing so!

     11 Beloved! Don’t imitate evil! {As Diotrephes, sowing division, competing, accusing, slandering, etc, all worldly political and a siren call to ever worsening things.} Instead imitate the good. Whoever does good is of God. Whoever does evil has not {yet} seen God.

     12 Now Demetrius, he has received a good testimony from everyone. And from truth itself! {“Truth bears witness of itself”. Logic stands. Root word of logic is logos.} We also add our witness, and you know that our witness {testimony, testament} is true.

     13 I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with reed and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.

     {This ends the year for the N.T. letters, tomorrow starts over, the letters in the order believed written.}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 9:33-50

33 - Then Jesus and the twelve went home to Capernaum. When they were in the house he asked the disciples, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 They didn’t say anything, because they’d been arguing with one another about who was greater. 35 So he sat down and called them round, and he said, “If you would be first, you must be last of all. And a servant of all.”

     36 And then he called a small child over to them, and taking him in his arms, he said, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but he who sent me.”

     38 John (who wrote a gospel account/testimony/testament and 1,2 and 3 John) said, “Rabbi, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he’s not with us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him. For anyone who does a mighty work in my name will not soon be able to speak evil of me. 40 For the one who’s not against us is for us.

     41 I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water because you follow me, will by no means lose their reward!

     42 “But whoever guides one of these little ones into error, it would be better for them if a great millstone were hung around their neck and they be thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It’s better for you to enter [eiserchomai - enter, go into, come into, go through] life crippled than with two hands away into gehenna fire {‘fiery’ trials and troubles} not quenched.” {Entropy (imperfection) which doesn’t quit so naturally ends in death, but can include much dissolution, thus suffering/‘hell’ on the way.} 45 “And if your foot leads you to crime, cut it off! It’s better for you to enter [eiserchomai - from eis - to or into, point reached, and erchomai -  to come, go] {go through} life lame than with two feet to be thrown into gehenna” (valley dump where criminal’s bodies were thrown - a great insult - so the fires were kept burning. 47 “And if your eye causes you to do wrong, tear it out! It’s better for you to enter [eiserchomai - enter, go into, come into] the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown [balló - throw, cast, put, place] into gehenna, 48 ‘where the worm {of decomposition} does not die and the fire is not quenched’ [sbennumi - extinguished, quenched, suppressed, thwarted, put out]. 49 For - everyone - will be salted with fire.” {God’s wrath is cause and effect/consequences/results. Plus greaT sin will ultimately result in deep heart and gut wrenching remorse. Imagine having been a heartless despot, serial killer, child sex trafficker.. What sort of correction [kolasin] works best? Inner. Inner judgment, inner condemnation.. beating self up “with many stripes?” until realizing Christ Crucified, strong enough to appease every psyche and conscience.}

     50 “Salt is good. {Preserves.} But if salt loses its saltiness, how will it be made salty again? Have salt within yourselves! And - be at peace - with one another.”
