05/24 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

18 - Speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of human nature, those who only recently escaped from those who live in error. 19 They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that they are a slave. 20 For if, after we have escaped the contamination of the world through knowing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse than the first. 21 For it would have been better never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered. 22 Then what the proverb says has happened! “The dog returns to its vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

     3:1 - This is now the second letter I’m writing to you, beloved. In both of them I’m stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through the apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed {where “every thought was only evil” thus act, imperfect is an abyss of potential and pre-flood was hands off.. even(?) was cannibaalism, widespread? So was} deluged with water and perished. {Like being transplanted in an untilled garden awaiting resurrection into an “aionion kolasin” / eonian korrection / aGe of correction during the 8th millennial day.} 7 But by the same word {logos - truth? reasoning} the heavens and earth that now exist have stored up fire as judgment {Is.24:20/Rev.10:4} and the destruction of ungodly man{kind}. {During “8th ‘day’ is GWT judgment ‘day’ a great day of total review, and closure, for all. And so shall imperfection, and self first and foremost, be fully removed from off of mankind.}

My own studies, had to paraphrase to post..
