          Luke 10:1-12

1 - The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the LORD of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his fields. 3 Now go, but behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Don’t take a money bag with you, nor traveler’s bag, nor an extra pair of sandals, and greet no one on the road. 5 Whenever you go into a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house’ 6 If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand, if they are not, the blessing will return to you. 7 Don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay. 8 When you enter a town and it welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you. 9 Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near you’. 10 But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘We are shaking the dust from our feet as a warning. You can be sure that God's kingdom will soon be here!’” (The kingdom is always soon here! Life is fleeting, and we die, and next we know is either rising in the resurrection at the Lord’s arrival and into “the” millennium, Mt.25:1-13, or after the millennium into the “aionios kolasin” [eonian correction] same correction some are going through now - logic, since GOD is the one who chooses when blinders come off.) 12 I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town. [From Ezekiel 16:49 - “Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom, she and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned, they did not help the poor and needy, etc..”] (They did not have “the message”, so they were unavoidably on the road of decomposition, so God basically laid them aside, until second resurrection, into an aion of correction.)

From New Testament Letters

          (In Order Written)

           ~ James 2:17-26 ~

17 Fact is, faith without works (evidence?) is dead. 18 But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions." My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith without actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions." [Some versions use, for actions, “works” or “good deeds”.] (I think of it as also being changes, in our heart, and so likely also in our life. Right?) 19 You believe there is the one God. Good! Even the demons believe that! And shudder. 20 Oh foolish one! Don’t you know that faith without works is worthless! [argos - inactive, idle, lazy, thoughtless, unprofitable, injurious, from alpha, as a neg. prefix - not/without, and ergon - a work or worker who accomplishes something]. (Without accomplishment. It doesn’t work!) 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? [Paul says “he figured God would raise Isaac” I suppose because God had said the promise was coming through Isaac. I.e. faith. He believed God.] 22 You see that Abraham's faith and what he did worked together. His faith/belief was shown to be genuine by his works/obedience. 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says — “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God.

     24 You see then that by works [érgon - (from ergō, "to work, accomplish") – a work or worker who accomplishes something, érgon is a deed (action) that carries out (completes) an inner desire (intention, purpose)] a person is justified, and not only by faith. [Contemporary English Version says it like this - “You can now see that we please God by what we do and not only by what we believe.” (Seems pretty logical. And it proceeds from within! So what would be the problem?) 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she hid the messengers (spies) and sent them safely away by a different road. 26 Just as the body is dead without breath [often translated spirit, pneuma, breath] so also faith is dead without good works (action. And following through?)
