Gospel Verses ๐ฌโญ๏ธ
John 12:37-50
37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: โLord, who has believed our message? And the arm of the LORDโto whom was it revealed?โ 39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: 40 โThe LORD has blinded their eyes and hardened their heartsโ so that their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and have me heal them.โ (Hello?! So God who โis Loveโ and โis Perfectโ will send them to, or let them go to a place of torture? No. Not even aionion. The root word of logic, is logos - โreasoning expressed in wordsโ - the sWord of Truth [called Godโs word/promise] is the reasoning of unfettered, unlimited Genius. โ All matter is decomposing, so something beyond and superior to matter must exist. Because it is impossible for nothing to exist, and there come from it anything, let alone everything. Life and intelligence is what is superior to matter. The highest of life is love. And the highest of intelligence is Genius. The little word translated โendโ is โtelโ which means โend-aimโ - enlightening on its own, but is also the root of telescope, illustrating so very well how Godโs program/โadministration of agesโ progresses.. In widening scopes. Including Jesusโ advents. During his long second advent after all who have โdied still in their sinsโ so logically, rise that way, he will do the very same works he did during his so brief first advent, fuLLy completing the work his โdrawing all to himselfโ.) 40 โThe LORD has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts..โ 41 Isaiah said these things when he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke about it.
42 Many did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldnโt admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue. 43 For they loved human praise [doxa - opinion, always good in NT, thus praise, glory, honor] more than the praise [doxa - opinion, acceptance?] of God.
44 Then Jesus cried out, โWhoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. (The hell myth, etc. makes believers avoid the Father!๐คฏ) 45 For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. (He is the โfirst/protoโ and only straight out from God one.. โthe seedโ which master surgeon, our father, is implanting in all, and waters and nourishes it. โWe shall be like Jesusโ - he is the prototype.) 46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer be in the dark. 47 If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge โthe worldโ but to save โthe worldโ. 48 He who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has that which judges himโ the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. (Such as the Pharisees seeking to kill him? Some are judged/corrected during this brief life, some are chosen to be judged/have judgment, thus corrected during Jesusโ long second advent. Same process for aLL.) 49 I don't speak on my own. I say only what the Father who sent me has told me to say. 50 I know that what he commands is eternal life. So whatever I say is what the Father tells me to say." (Isaiah 45:23 - itโs okay to de-rowdy the scripture! Why? Because translators so often (always?) prefer the most rowdy interpretations of words! Like kolasis - correction. Sure correction can include punishment - think the gut wrenching remorse of having been a despotic genocidal predator! Please reread that phrase. But what GOOD father uses punishment as his first and only means of correcting his children!? The gossamer web of the myth of โpunishmentโ and God imposed torment, must be/can be dispelled. โGod is loveโ and โlove never failsโ 1Jn.4:8, 1Cor.13:8. Donโt get me started on the number eight!!(Jn.7:37)
Little chatty this A.M. God bless, have a great day!โ ๏ธโฒ๏ธ)

Peterโs First Letter
~ 1 Peter 1:8-12 ~
8 You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him. And you are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy! 9 For you are receiving the effect of your faith (the true faith/trust) the salvation/safety of your souls. (We are all being, and must have the implanted โseed Jesusโ implanted in us, and watered and fed by God in order to mature. How else to keep paradise/perfection intact? โWe shall be like himโ the โfirst/protoโ. The prototype.)
10 This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this grace that was to come to you. 11 The Spirit of Christ in them, was telling them how Christ would suffer and then be given great honor. So they searched to find out exactly who Christ would be and when it would all happen. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you. This when they foretold the things now being announced - by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit/Presence of God which is sent from heaven. Even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.
