 • Romans 15:8-13  Matthew 16:21-28 and Rev.18:1-8 separately

            ☀️ Romans 15:8-13

8 - For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised {to the Hebrew nation ..first. - He had called and separated Israel into a new nation, in order to make himself known as separate from ‘the gods’ of the nations which were prevalent}.

      This {hearing the Good News proclaimed first} shows God's faithfulness [alétheia - truth, integrity, faithfulness] and is what was promised to the patriarchs. 9 All this so the nations might glorify God for his mercy [eleos - mercy, kindness, good will toward the afflicted, joined with a desire to relieve]. [“His mercy endures forever” Ps.136.]

     As it’s written, “Therefore I will praise [aineó - boast, shine, praise] you among the nations! I will sing to your name” [ónoma - name, authority, cause].

     10 And again it’s written, “Rejoice [euphrainó - rejoice, be glad, make merry] oh nations among his people, Israel” [Deuteronomy 32:43]. 11 And again, “Praise the Lord, all nations! And let all the peoples praise [epaineó - praise, applaud] him” [Ps.117:1] {Romans 3:4 - “..let God be true, and every man a liar, as it’s written: "That You  {God} may be justified in Your words, and will prevail in Your being judged."}

     12 And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the nations, in him will the nations trust” [Isaiah 11:10].

     13 May the God of hope [elpis - (hope) expectation, trust] fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} you may abound in hope [elpis - (hope?) expectation and trust!]

            🌙 Matthew 16:21-28

21 - From then on Jesus began to let his disciples know he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the leaders - the elders, chief priests and scribes {much more political than spiritual or religious/devoted}. And that he would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised.

     22 Peter took him aside and began to disagree with him, saying, “Far be it Lord! This cannot happen to you!” 23 But Jesus said, “Get behind me satan/opposer, you’re acting as a hindrance and temptation to me. For you’re not seeing as God sees, but as man sees.”

     24 Then Jesus said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let them deny theirself and take up their cross, and come and follow me. 25 For whoever will save their life {as is before Christ} will lose it {the life we think we have} but whoever loses {lets go of} their life for my sake will find it. {God has our highest blueprint!} 26 For what will it profit someone to gain the whole {wide} world and forfeit their soul? [Psuché, psychēs - life, self, inner being, heart, mind, soul, distinct identity, unique personhood.] Or what shall a person give in return for their soul/personhood? 27 For the Son of Man will be coming, with his angels, in the glory {and radiance} of his Father, and he will repay each one according to what they have done.

     28 Truly, I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” {Prophecy is often in two scopes, a first more specific, smaller scope, and later global in scope. In this case after 70 CE, Jerusalem’s Armageddon, came what’s called the church age.. Age of the wheat. And at (the modern, total) Armageddon is his full, and in person, coming, after which is “the” millennium, first half of the Lord’s long second advent. See Rev.20, but the chapter is portrayed like describing the crests of waves and not a lot of the in between.}

 • Romans 15:1-7  Matthew 16:13-20

           ☀️ Romans 15:1-7

1 - We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the weakness [asthenéma - weakness, infirmity, doubt, hesitation] of the weaker. It’s not a matter of pleasing ones self.

     2 But let each of us please our neighbor, for their good, to build them up. 3 For Christ didn’t please himself, but as it’s written, “The insults of those who insult you, fell upon me.” 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction and guidance. The encouragement - of the Scriptures - {see note below, translation errors due to partial dis-belief?} is that we might have hope [elpis - (hope) expectation, trust, confidence]. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in union with Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you! For the cause of promoting the glory (glorious renown) of God.

  List of Some Translation Errors ~~ Added to God’s riddles/hiding things in plain sight, has made things difficult. 

     ~~ Changed “all” whenever possible, to “all things” yes, in Rev.21:5. Also Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, and more. In 1Cor.15:27, five times! And so repeating what 5 times? But not in verse 28, because “that God be all things in all things” just doesn’t quite get it.. Nor in 2Tim.3:16, for example “all scripture for training”.

     ~~ Often rendered not into never

and aion/eon into forever. And aionion/eonian as eternal instead of “of an age” and pertaining to an age or space of time.

     ~~ Translating hamartia - missing the mark,

as “sin” (trespass) misses the mark a little, as hamartia means - missing the mark. (Imperfect ..Whereas, God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, a conundrum for imperfect/missing the mark. “The wage/effect/result of missing the mark” is..? But no option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm? So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. Being Life God suffers everything.) 

     ~~ Of course five separate words were turned into ‘hell’, even pit when “dust of” is in the verse - Ps.30:9. The three mentions of lake of fire are at very large (actually huGe) fiery events. Not very understandable in 95 CE or thereabouts, Is.24:20/Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev7:15-17)

            🌙 Matthew 16:13-20

13 - As they were coming into the district of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 And they answered, “Some say you’re John the Baptist, others say Elijah, or Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 And he said, “But who do you say I am?” 16 Peter answered, “You are the Christ!” {Christos - Anointed One, Messiah} “Son of the living God!” {Only straight out from the Father, so close both admininister His Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}

     17 “You are blessed, Simon (Peter) Bar-Jonah/Son of Jonah” Jesus said. “For no one has told you this. My Father in heaven has shown it to you. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock” {belief, knowing, Peter means rock} “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will noT prevail against it.” {Likely was speaking Aramaic, so gates of sheol “where there is no doing or knowing” (awareness) Eccles.9:5,10. “Oh death, where is thy sting!?” 1Cor.15:55}

      19 “I will give to you {disciples/followers following} the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind upon earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in heaven.” {The mature state, when God’s Spirit/Presence flows cleanly through us without our various impediments, of corners and shadows? Thus flows fully outward with healing, repairing, able to make whole, according to God’s blueprint. That God is Life and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) means nothing imperfect can endure.} 20 Then he strictly charged them to tell no one that he was the Christ.

 • Romans 14:8-23  Matthew 16:1-12

           ☀️ Romans 14:8-23

8 - For if we live, we live unto the Lord, and if we die, we die unto the Lord. So! Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's! 9 It’s for this reason Christ died, and then lived again! That he might - be Lord - of both the living and the dead.

     10 So why then, would we pass judgment on our brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your fellow believer? We will all stand before the judgment/justice seat of God. [Seat - béma - a raised platform for public speaking, from basis and bainō - to step, ascend, properly, a platform to which someone walks up to, to receive judgment or reward.]

     11 For it’s written, “As I live, says the LORD, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue confess [exomologeó - confess, acknowledge, give thanks] to God.”

     12 So each one of us will give an account of ourself to God. 13 So let us not pass judgment on one another, but rather decide, never, to put a stumbling block or a hindrance in the way of a brother or sister. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it’s unclean. (Still talking about foods.) 15 For if your brother or sister is grieved by what you eat, you’re no longer walking in love. Don’t destroy the one for whom Christ died, because of your preference of what to eat or not eat.

     16 And don’t let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God isn’t a matter of what we eat and drink. It’s about righteousness, and peace and joy, in the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}.

     18 Whoever serves Christ is acceptable to God. And should be by others as well. {No person nor group is perfect until the last day” Heb.11:40.}

     19 So then, let us pursue what makes for peace, and for mutual building up and encouragement. {Making solid and stable.} 20 Don’t, for the sake of food destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what they approve. {Still talking about foods.} 21 It’s good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother or sister to stumble. 22 The faith you have about it, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment upon theirself for what they give thanks for! 23 But if they have doubts they will come under guilt if they eat, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever isn’t of faith is sin [hamartia - misses the mark].

            🌙 Matthew 16:1-12

1 - The leaders, the Pharisees and Sadducees, came to test Jesus. They asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, “When it’s evening, you say, ‘It’ll be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And then in the morning you say, ‘The sky is red and threatening, it will be stormy today.’

     You know how to read the signs of the sky, but you don’t see the signs of your own day. 4 An unfaithful and trying generation seeks for a sign. But the only sign that will be given to it, is the sign of Jonah.” {I think healings were supposed to be shared with the priests.. but these priests/leaders had long ago(?) traded their faith in Yhwh and spirituality/worship for politics, their seats of power, and keeping them during Roman occupation. Politics seems able to bring out the worst in human nature. Though it talks a good talk/puts on sheep’s clothing (of course) but the wolf still shines through.. Especially if all power is attained! Or, on the way there.. Rev.17:10 - “there are seven kings (kingdoms, world empires). Five (ancient?) have fallen, one is - Rome - and the other (global) has not yet come. And when he [autos - he, she, it, they, them..] comes, he [autos] must continue a short time.”}

     5 When the disciples reached the other side of the lake (Galilee) they realized they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 And right then, Jesus said, “Watch out, and beware the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” {I guess they would do anything for the sake of their power and standing/authority.}

     7 So {because he said leaven} the disciples began discussing among themselves, saying, “We forgot to bring bread.” 8 But Jesus, was aware of it, and said, “Oh ye of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet see? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets left over you gathered? (12 baskets). 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? (7)

     11 How do you not understand that I’m not talking about bread? ..Beware the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood he didn’t tell them to beware the leaven of bread, but the teaching {and example} of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

 • Romans 14:1-7  Matthew 15:21-39

           ☀️ Romans 14:1-7

1 - As for those who are weak in faith, welcome them! But not to quarrel over opinions. 2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the person with the more sensitive conscience, eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise/feel superior to the one who abstains! And let not the one who abstains - pass judgment/feel superior - to the one who eats! For God welcomes both. 4 Who are you {any of us} to pass judgment on another of the Lord’s servants? It is before their own master that they stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

     5 One person judges one day as better than another, while another judges all days to be alike. LeT, each one be fuLLy convinced in their - own - mind. 6 The one observing the day, is observing it to the Lord. The one observing all days alike, is also observing unto the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since they give thanks to God. While the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord, and also gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives to our self, and none of us dies to our self. (Next verse - for we live or we die unto the Lord.) {Sabbath and foods.}

            🌙 Matthew 15:21-39

21 - After this Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is terribly oppressed by a demon!” 23 But he didn’t answer her a word. And his disciples said, “Send her away, for she’s following us around.” 24 He answered, “I’m only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” {First Israel, then the nations.. like giving thanks, break the bread, give it to the disciples, who distribute it.. In this case, it will be the gospel distributed to the nations, then during long second advent distributed by..?}

     25 But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It’s not right to give the children's bread to the little puppies [kunarion - little dog, puppy].” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the puppies eat the crumbs that fall from the masters' table.”

     28 Then Jesus, marveling, said, “Oh woman, great is your faith! It will be done for you as you have asked.” And her daughter was instantly made well.

     29 Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on the mountain {hillside} and sat down. 30 And great crowds came from all over, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and put them at his feet, and he healed them all.

     31 And the people marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled walking, the lame made whole, and the blind seeing. And the God of Israel was glorified [doksázō - from dóksa - glory, glorify, literally - to ascribe weight by recognizing the genuine substance and value]. {Father separated himself, by separating Israel, from being considered just another ‘god’ of the nations..}

     32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I’m concerned for the people. They’ve been with us now for three days and they don’t have any food. And I don’t want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33 And the disciples said, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a remote place to feed so great a crowd?” 34 And Jesus said, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And directing the people to sit down, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, and giving thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And everyone ate and was satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 Then, after sending the people on their way, they went by boat to the region of Magadan.

ACTS 17 15-34

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

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

15 -  Those who accompanied Paul on his way, went as far as Athens with him, then after receiving instructions for Silas and Timothy to come as soon as possible, they returned to Berea.

     16 And while Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy in Athens, his spirit was stirred, as he saw how the city was full of idols.

     17 As his custom, he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jewish and devoted persons, and also, daily in the marketplace, with whoever happened to be there.

     18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. But some said, “What is this babbler saying?” And others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because he was speaking of Jesus and the resurrection.

     19 So they brought him to the Areopagus [a court on Mar’s Hill and a meeting place for philosophical discussions] saying, “May we know what this new teaching is? 20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. And we wish to know what it means.”

     21 Now many Athenians and foreigners who lived there would spend their days in nothing but telling and hearing some new idea. 22 So Paul said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you’re very devoted. 23 For as I passed along and saw the objects of your devotion, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ Now, what you’ve included, as unknown, this is what I’m proclaiming.

     24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being LORD of heaven and earth, doesn’t live in temples made by man, 25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and all things. 26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind that lives on all the face of earth, having determined allotted times and boundaries, 27 in hopes they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us. 28 For as your own poets have said, ‘in him we live and move and have our being, for we are indeed his offspring’.

     29 Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold, silver, or stone, an image formed by the imagination and art of man. 30 Those times of not understanding, God has overlooked, but now he calls all everywhere to turn to him, 31 for he has fixed a day for the world’s judgment in righteousness, by a man appointed, and has provided to all, a guarantee, by raising him from death. {Jn.5:28,29}

    32 Now when they heard of a “resurrection from death” some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.” 33 At that, Paul went on from there. 34 But some joined him and believed, among whom were Dionysius the Areopagite (member of the court, I read the members had to be over sixty in age) and a woman named Damaris and some others.

 • Romans 13:9-14  John 6:52-7:1 and  ACTS 17:15-34

           ☀️ Romans 13:9-14

9 - The commandments, “Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t covet,” and any other commandment, is summed up in this — “Love your neighbor {fellow person} as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to another. Therefore - love is the fulfilling of the law.

     11 And you know the day, that it’s late, and an hour to wake from sleep. For we’re nearer now to salvation than when we first believed! {At the Lord’s return, those who are his, dead and alive, will “put on perfection and {thus} immortality”, Heb.11:40. No more entropy toward death.}

     12 The night is far spent! And a new day is at hand. {Both spiritually speaking, aNd, literally, as 70 CE was not far off, and a new spiritual age, the years of our Lord, AD. was beginning, Rev.6:1-2.}

     So then! Let us cast off all works of darkness, and “put on” the armor of Light. 13 Let us walk properly as in daylight, and not in {pagan rites of} orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. {Not in accusation, slander, division.} 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision to gratify the flesh {the lower selfish and contrary nature}. {We, the world and its fashions and allures can put on sheep’s clothing? And some can even believe their own masquerade.. Others can be up to no good. It’s why God prophesied to Eve, the man/stronger would rule woman (for quite some time and still in some places and cases). In this ‘dimension’ called “Imperfect”.. well, history is a very sad commentary to it. We should always pray for peace.. Everywhere. And be peacemakers because love is the fruit God loves! And division is the siren call to armageddons, large and small? Is.24:20, Rev.10:4; Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:15-17.}

            🌙 John 6:52-7:1

52 - The people were questioning and saying to one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat!” 53 So Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you!” {A spiritual, yet very real partaking, yet there were ancient abysmal practices of humanity, especially during the hands off, pre-flood age?} 

     54 “Whoever feeds on my flesh (Ps.1) and drinks my blood/life has enduring life, and I will raise them up on the last day. 55 For this is true food, and true drink. [“I am the vine, you are the branches” ..that will bear fruit if succored and “abiding on the vine”, the true vine.] 56 “Whoever feeds on me and drinks of me, abides in me, and I in them.

     57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, this means whoever feeds upon me, will also live. 58 For this is the bread {for you} come down from heaven, not like the bread (manna) the fathers ate” (during wandering years in the desert under Moses) “and later they died. But whoever feeds on this bread, will live into the age [aion].” 59 Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.

     60 But when many heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying! Who can bear it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing it, said, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

     63 It’s the Spirit{/Presence of God} that GIVES life. The flesh {and relying on self?} is no help at all. The words that I’m speaking to you are spirit and Life. 64 But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who would believe and who wouldn’t, and knew who would betray him.

     65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father grants it.” 66 After this many turned back and no longer walked with him. {Interesting #’s Jn.6:66.}

     67 Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter said, “Lord, to whom would we go?! You have the words of enduring life! 69 We believe, and we know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

     70 Jesus said, “Did I not choose you twelve, yet one of you is a devil?” 71 He was speaking of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, though one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

     7 After this Jesus went about in Galilee, and not in Judea, because the leaders were seeking how they might have him killed.
