     05/16 - GospeL Verses 

[Traveling not going to proofread.😲] 1 - “I am (Jesus is) the true vine, and my Father is the vine caretaker. 2 Every branch - in me - that doesn’t bear fruit he takes away {it does noT say ‘forever’ which has come to be assumed, as so many are steeped in the ancient, cruel spiritual propaganda myth} and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes [kathairó - cleanse, purify, prune] {progressively} so it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean [katharo - clean, pure, clear] because of the word that I’ve spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone doesn’t abide in me they are thrown out like a branch and they wither. {Hello?! entropy which “does not quit” is a slow gehenna crucible - imperfection. God is Life (surely?!) aNd “is Perfect” (Mt.5:48). BUT! The thing being, if there’d been no option to stray in Eden, humanity would have to be some sort of ant farm? So (after a biG bang into the universe as is, then set in motion) a millennial WEEK plus ONE for things to run course. There is onLy one solution for entropy! Life. RESURRECTION, number one or two with their corresponding “putting on of perfection (thus) immortality - #1 simultaneous, but #2 aFter GWT judgment and fuLL discernment ‘day’ - the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection / aGe of correction, Mt.25:46, Jn.5:28-29, at the “palin/again-genesis” when Father God says “behold! I make aLL new!” To which translators (due to unbelief?) added the word “things”. Still true, but a downgrade..} And the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. {In a bonfire, likely manmade armageddons, large and small. We do not gather branches to burn in a never ending fire in the center of earth, or elsewhere. Creation will be again “all good”.}  7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments/instructions/sayings/words, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you! And that your joy may be full.

     12 “And this is my commandment - that you love one another (left aNd right!!!! are we listen-inG?? Get our heads out of “the world”. Division is the siren caLL to armageddon(s) large and small) — aS I have loved you! 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down their life for their friends. 14 You are my friends iF you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. ButI have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you - so, you will love one another.”
