1 Corinthians 15 27-33

12/09 ~ From New Testament Letters

  🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

27 - For “God has put all(the word things was inserted here) in subjection under Jesus’ feet.” But when it says, “all(things) are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. [“All-things” is from the Greek word, pas, which means every, all, the whole. “Things” was inserted? I think the translators just couldn’t reaLLy believe, and that they were steeped in that ancient, spiritual propaganda myth of inherent immortality and forever afterlife physical torment).] 28 When all(things) [pas] are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all(things) in subjection under him, that God may be all in all [pas en pas].

     {So let’s read that minus the inserted word “things” — For “God has put all in subjection under Jesus’ feet.” But when it says, “all are put in subjection,” it is plain it doesn’t include He who put all in subjection under him. 28 When all are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to He who put all in subjection under him, so that God may be all in all.

     That’s 7 all’s, 5 which repeat “all subjected under/to Jesus”. I think the Spirit/Presence of God, who “inspired the scriptures” wanted it repeated five times right here! The last two all’s - so God will be all in all - is of course the same exact word, pas - all.}

     29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised, why are people baptized for them? What would be the point? 30 And why are we in danger every single day? 31 I die every day! 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If there’s no resurrection! “Let us eat and drink! For tomorrow we die.” 33 Don’t be misled: “Bad company ruins good character [éthos - habits, manner, customs, morals].” {Just because of a very few translation errors and emphasis on the harshest interpretations of some words and verses, we should not be misled into tossing out the scripture (especially, even specifically, the New Testament …a testament from God’s point of view? And ironclad promises to us. And noT very harsh.. only cause and effect, which can be rather drastic. As imperfection, is an abyss of potential.. so it’s cause and effect mixed with thinking beings (angelos and anthropos) exercising power of choice. (Thank goodness limited power of choice.) Cause and effect as God’s wrath.. slow burn, gehenna ..that can flare up.. Entropy. The fire/crucible that consumes, God’s wrath as opposed to only creating an ant farm. The dis-ease as part of the cure? Gotten out of the way first?} {God being life itself, and “is perfect” thus nonfading, non entropic.}

33 - “Bad company [homilia - association, conversation, communion, discourse] corrupts good ethos” [éthos - custom, habit, manner, character].
