05/21 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

9 - For whoever lacks these qualities is nearsighted and blind, having forgotten that they were cleansed from the former things which dragged them down, captured them and made them miserable.

     10 Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined and diligent to confirm (lock in) your calling and election. For if you reflect these qualities you’ll not fall away. 11 And there’ll be an open entry provided for you. An entrance into the enduring kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. {At his (full) return.}

     12 Therefore I plan to always remind you of all this, even though you know the truth and are established in it. 13 I think it right, to stir you to a lasting remembrance of these things, as long as I am in this body. [When we rise to meet him, we rise in a new body] {likely with the same but higher/perfect dna?} 14 Since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus has made clear to me. 15 So I make every effort, that after I am absent, you may be able at any time to recall these things.

     16 For it wasn‘t cleverly devised myths we were following, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the kingly glory saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” 18 We ourselves heard this very voice coming from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. 19 And besides all that, we have the prophetic word fully confirmed (acted out before our eyes) to which we all do well to pay attention, as to a lamp giving its light in a dark place, until the day dawns! And the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is for someone's own interpretation. {Forget about “it’s all about me.”} 21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but men spoke from God, as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}.
