JOHN 3 25 - 4 2

   🍃🕊️01/08 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

25 - Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and another person over purification. 26 So they went to John and said, “Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, the one you bore witness of, is now baptizing, and all are going to him.” 27 John answered them, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it’s given from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I’m not the Christ, but have been sent before him.’ 29 It’s the one who has the bride, who’s the bridegroom. [A ‘runner’ and announcer would “go before” the bridegroom’s arrival in a Hebrew wedding.] The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. (Telling him to announce.) Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 He must increase, and I will decrease. 31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all [pas - all, every, the whole]. 32 He bears witness to/testifies of what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives it {listens, hears it}. 33 Whoever receives his testimony sets this seal, that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for without measure does he bestow the Spirit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all [pas - all, every, the whole, to which translators through partial unbelief(?) inserted the word “things”] into His hand. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has enduring [aionion/eonian] {brightness of} life {during this age, and will rise into “the” millennium, first half of Jesus’ long second advent}. And whoever is not obeying the Son does not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon them. {The wrath/orge/passion of God being cause and effect as opposed to a merely mechanic, robotic universe containing an ant farm. To believe is to become part of the “first resurrection” which is when entropy is checked by “putting on perfection/incorruption” a total vivification. Imperfect came about by the state of strayed (somewhat) from God who is Life and “is Perfect” - thus the word “reconciled”. Rev.21:5 is (the) second total vivification, to which translators inserted the word “things”. Separated from the “second resurrection” by GWT judgment ‘day’ (“aionion”).}

    4:1 - Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples).. {Due to human error, mine, the reading for today stops here? lol)
