ENTER THE STORY - A NEW TESTAMENT READING SCHEDULE

Note: It was a highly accelerated biG banG into the universe that is, like a clock not running, and then, it was set in motion. “The lion will eat straw

like the ox..

the bear will graze

with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.
(But first Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4.)

{Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:15-17}

List of Some Translator Errors, due to partial disbelief? ~~ Not including God’s riddles/hiding things in plain sight. ~~ Changed “all” whenever possible, to “all things” Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, 1Cor.15:27, five times! And so repeating what 5 times? ..And more. But not 2Tim.3:16 or 1Cor.15:28, for example. ~~ Often rendered not into never and aion/eon into forever. ~~ Translating hamartia - missing the mark, into “sin” (trespass) misses the mark a little. (God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, a conundrum for imperfect/missing the mark. But no option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm.) ~~ Of course five separate words turned into ‘hell’, even pit when “dust of” is in the verse & Ps.30:9. The three mentions of lake of fire are at very large, fiery events. Not very understandable in 95 CE or thereabouts, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev7:15-17)

07/01 ~ From New Testament Letters

(In the Order Believed Written)

11 - If perfection had been achievable through the Levitical priesthood - for under it the people received the law - what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the priestly order of Melchizedek, rather than the already established one, named after the priestly order of Aaron? [Moses’ brother.] 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is a change in the law as well.

{The law, called the Mosaic Covenant, was implemented to show what sin, breaking the law, missing the mark is. It’s summed up in love, because “love works no ill”. Jesus actually said - for example - it’s not really good enough to not murder.. but to dislike and hate, is to commit murder in the heart! {And words! The “poison of vipers is under our tongue”! Just look at online discussions, lol. Division by accusation just like of “the world”.} Same with unfaithfulness, not actually good enough [perfect] to not be unfaithful with another, but it can be committed in the heart. The key of course is Jesus. We are in him and he is in us, and is our advocate. He said “won’t your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit {his Presence} to those who ask him?” And Jesus baptizes us with the Spirit - the Holy Ghost - God’s Presence. He never let me write Holy Ghost until I started to mention His Presence - with us - as His Spirit. But I so often wanted to write Holy Ghost! Lol. It’s our only hope. Because unavoidably “perfect” is necessary and unavoidable - the goal we stretch toward and are waiting for when Jesus’ returns for his long second advent. God is life, surely!? And he “is perfect” ..so what do you think? Thankfully we’re declared righteous and innocent.. because of “Christ Crucified”. But of what use or logic would there be in preferring the things that don’t bring life and blessing? One time it seemed to me the Lord said, when you have submitted, yielded and given yourself to me right down to the floor of your being.. that’s when to start pulling up floorboards.

John Prine - “honey we’re the big door prize.. we’ll wind up a sittin’ on a rainbow” and Eric Clapton - “I’m tore down.. almost level with the ground..”

07/01 - GospeL Verses

7 - John {cousin or second cousin to Jesus? Lk.1:36} said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?!” {I’ve always thought this was said when the leaders, the Pharisees, etc got there(?) But, it says “to the crowds” .. “The poison of snakes is under our tongues!”}

8 “Bear fruits in keeping with repentance! And don’t even begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham! 9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees! Every tree that doesn’t bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire!” {NoT an unfruitful or damaged tree into an ‘everlasting’ afterlife fire.. But think 70 CE.. cause and effect, no shield of God’s Spirit/Presence, add in how much the wolf hates and craves to destroy..}

10 And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?!” 11 And he answered, “Whoever has two tunics, share with the one who has none, and whoever has food, do likewise.” {This is not via mankind government to the point of communism utopia which alas has always been anything but. This is our neighbor, and family, friends, acquaintances. And charitable gifts. Real life, not modern life’s political cubicles? Prone to mostly missing the mark due to bound to occur waste and misuse? Siphoning for political strengthening causes?}

12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said, “Teacher, what shall we do?” 13 And he told them, “Collect no more than you’re supposed to.” 14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” He said, “Don’t extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation. And be content with your wages.”
