GospeL Verses ~ John 7:2-9

2 - It was the Feast of Booths [Tabernacles] 3 and his (natural) brothers said to Jesus, “Go up to Judea, so your followers can see the works you’re doing. 4 For anyone who wants to be known, doesn’t work in secret. Show yourself to the world!” 5 For even his brothers did not believe in him. 6 Jesus answered them, “My time hasn’t yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world doesn’t hate you, but it hates me because I reveal that its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I’m not going yet to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 And so he remained in Galilee.

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Colossians 1:16-20 ~

16 - For by our Lord all was created, in heaven  and upon earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions [celestial hierarchy] rulers [arché - beginning, origin] or authorities [exousia - powers to act]. All things were created through him and for him. [And “it was aLL good” but after some time and before the universe, some (one third of the) angels/messengers (noun, not verb) “left their first place/position/orbit” so they too can think and reason, which includes at least some power of choice. (God is not creating robots?)] 17 And he is/was before all, and in him all is held together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church (the believers). He is the beginning, and firstborn from out of the dead, that in all he might be preeminent. 19 For in him God - in all his fullness - was pleased to dwell, 20 and (was pleased to) by him reconcile [apokatallassó - to reconcile completely, from apo - from, away from, and katallassó - change, exchange - from katá - down to an exact point, intensifying allássō - to change – properly, decisively change — (to an exact point!)] all to himself. Having made peace by the blood of the cross of Jesus, whether on earth or in heaven. (Strong enough to convince all.)
