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.

09-06 - James 2 9-16 Mark 10 35-45

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots} (An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 2:9-16

9 - But if you show partiality, you commit [ergazomai - work, trade, do] sin [hamartia - miss the mark] and are shown by the law to be doing wrong. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of breaking it all. 11 The same God who told us to be faithful in marriage also told us not to murder. So if you’re faithful in marriage, but you murder someone, whichever, it doesn’t matter, you have broken God's Law. 12 So talk and act {with kindness and mercy} knowing we are also those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who shows no mercy. {It doesn’t say ‘forever’.} And mercy trumps [katakauchaomai - triumphs over] judgment.

     14 What good is it, my brethren, if someone says they have faith but has no works [ergon - work, behavior, task, labor, deed, action]? {Fruit?} Can such faith save? 15 It’s like a brother or sister being poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says, “Go in peace, be warm and fed,” without giving them the things needed, what good is that? [This writer (James) is one of Jesus’ natural brothers.]

            🌙 P.M. Mark 10:35-45

35 - James and John, the sons of Zebedee said to Jesus, “Teacher, we have a favor to ask of you.”

     {Zebedee, their father was a fisherman by trade. They, and Peter and Andrew worked for him, both teams having a boat(?) and workers. Jesus called John and James “the sons of thunder”.

     Mathew, the tax collector (for Rome!) who was one of the twelve disciples, wrote “the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons and she asked..” Mt.20:20.

     Whereas Mark was not one of the twelve (eyewitnesses/disciples). He was a scribe, so able read and write well, he became a sort of secretary for Paul and others. His gospel/news account may be the first one written of the four, of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.}

     36 Jesus asked them, “What is it you want?” 37 And they said, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, at your glory.”

     38 But Jesus said, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup I’ll drink? Or be baptized with the baptism I’m about to be baptized with?”

     39 And they said, “Yes! We’re able!”

Jesus answered, “The cup I drink you indeed will drink of, and the baptism I’m about to be baptized with, you will be baptized with.

     40 But to sit at my right or at my left isn’t mine to give, but is prepared for those prepared for/of it.”

     41 When the other ten disciples heard about it, they were indignant. 42 But Jesus called them all to him and said, “You know that those who’re considered rulers of the gentiles/nations, lord it over them, and their ‘great’ ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it shouldn’t be so among you. For whoever would be great among you should be as a servant. 44 And whoever would be first among you must serve all. 45 For even the Son of Man didn’t come to be served, but to serve. And to give his life as a ransom for many [polýs - great in number and extent].”

     {God was against Israel having any king but Him - as King of the universe - greek - kosmos. And Jesus, with him, is king of humanity.}

ACTS 9 21-43

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

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

     21 - And all who were listening to Saul (later called Paul) were amazed! They were saying, “Isn’t this the man who persecuted terribly in Jerusalem, those who call upon the Lord Jesus?! And didn’t he come here to arrest and drag more believers in chains to the chief priests?”

     22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and he was confounding the Synagogue leaders, who lived in Damascus, by proving that Jesus was the Christ!

     23 Then, after many days, they plotted to kill him! 24 But their plot became known to him. They were watching the gates day and night, 25 so some disciples led him out by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the city wall.

     26 Then when Saul (Paul) came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples there. But they were afraid of him, and didn’t believe he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas {in Syria?} befriended him and brought him to the apostles.

     So Paul explained to them how on the road he had seen the Lord. How he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly the name of Jesus. 28 After that Saul went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.

     29 He would also speak with and dispute with the Hellenists (Greek culture Hebrews). But they were seeking to kill him. 30 And when the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.

     ((This is a condensed version, in Galatians 1:15-24, Paul wrote - my immediate response was not to consult any human being. 17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia. And later, I returned to Damascus.

     18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles - only James, the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God that what I’m writing to you is no lie.

     21 Then I went to Syria {met Barnabas?} and Cilicia. 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only heard the report, “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they praised God because of me.))

     31 So the church {brotherhood and sisterhood} throughout all Judea, Galilee and Samaria had peace and the faith was growing. They were walking in the reverence of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit {Presence of God} and the faith was multiplying.

     32 Meanwhile, Peter too was going in and out among them all. And then he went also down to Lydda and the believers who lived there. 33 And while there he came across a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight long years. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Rise up and pick up your bed!” And immediately he did!

     35 And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw he was healed, and they turned to the Lord.

     36 Now in Joppa, there was a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated is Dorcas. She had done many acts of charity and good works. 37 But in those days she had become ill and died. They had prepared her, and laid her in an upper room.

     38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Please come to us without delay.”

     39 So Peter went with them and when he was there, they took him to the upper room. All the widows were there weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40 But Peter put them all out, and then he knelt down and prayed. And turning to her he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes.

     When she saw Peter she sat up, 41 and he took her by the hand and helped her to stand up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her to them alive. 42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner who lived by the sea.

09-05 - James 2 1-8 Mark 10 28-34

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 2:1-8

1- My brethren (brothers and sisters) let there be no favoritism as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. 2 For if someone wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your meeting, and a poor person in old clothing also comes in, 3 and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in this preferred seat,” while you say to the poor person, “Stand over there,” or, “Sit on the floor,” 4 have you not then made division and distinctions among yourselves and are judges with evil intent?

     5 Listen, my much loved ones, hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith? And heirs to the kingdom he has promised to those who love him?

     6 But you dishonor the poor one. And isn’t it the rich who oppress you, and drag you into court? 7 And who insult the honorable name by which we are called?

     8 If you really fulfill the Royal Law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor [plésion - any other person] as yourself” - then, you are doing well.

            🌙 P.M. Mark 10:28-34

28 - Peter said to Jesus, “We’ve left everything to follow you!” 29 Jesus told him, “I tell you, truly, there’s no one who has left house or brothers, or sisters or mother, or father or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel’s sake, 30 who won’t receive a hundredfold now in this age, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and lands, but with persecutions [diógmos]. And in the age to come the enduring life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and many last, will be first.”

     32 They were on the road to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead, at a fast pace. And so those who were following were afraid. And once again he told the twelve what was going to happen.

     33 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the leaders, the chief priests and scribes, and they’ll have him condemned to death and delivered over to the Gentiles (the nations, here Rome). 34 And they will mock him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. But after three days he will rise.”

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.”

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.”
