09-30 - Galatians 1 1-5

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

   🕊️reading & study 🕊️

1 - From Paul, an apostle—not appointed by men nor any man, but appointed by Jesus Christ, and by God the Father, who raised him from the dead. 2 And from all the brothers who are with me {was a man’s world.. but in Eden, God to Eve was not pronouncing a curse, but was prophesying that the stronger would rule the not as strong. I can’t speak concerning other faiths, but Christianity has a tendency to remove that curse (effect from a cause). The cause being imperfection, an abyss of potential. Which all genuinely able to think and reason beings would be bound to drift into that condition of imperfect - so! God engineered it so this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast would be universally one and done! God had two choices for creation? Ant Farm, or Total ‘herd’ Immunity? God iS Life so witnesses and lives through all things that ever occur? And created thinking beings anyway!}

   To the believers of Galatia {& all of us}

3 Grace to you! And peace from God our Father. And from the Lord Jesus, 4 who gave himself for our sins [hamartia - sin, failure, missing the mark] {imperfection/entropy} in order to deliver us from this present evil {including from imperfection/entropy’s final result}. Delivered and rescued, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom is the glory forever. Amen.

Tomorrow - Galatians 1:6-12

My own studies, had to paraphrase to post.. which has turned out to be an interesting way to ‘enter the ‘story’. 

Start the day with a Psalm (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150)
