☀️ Romans 8:26-33
{As we await the full kingdom} 26 - The Spirit {of God} helps us in our weakness. For we don’t know what we should pray for, but the Spirit{/Presence of God} himself intercedes for us with groanings of the heart too deep for words, 27 and shines a light on what God is doing, for his spirit is guiding the prayer. 28 We know all things work together for good, for those who love God, who are being called according to his purpose. 29 For those foreknown [proginṓskō - from pró - before" and ginṓskō - know] HE predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that the Son might be the firstborn among many. 30 And those whom he predestined he calls, and those whom he calls he justifies. And those whom he justifies he will glorify.
31 What then shall we say to these things?! If God is for us, who can be against us?! 32 He who didn’t spare his own Son but gave him up for us all [pas - every, the whole, the entire, all] how will he not also with him graciously give us all [pas - every, the whole, the entire, all]? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It’s GOD who justifies.
🌙 Matthew 12:22-37
22 - Then a demon-oppressed man who was both blind and mute was brought to Jesus. So he healed him, and the man could then speak and see. 23 The people were amazed, and they said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees (leaders of the nation) heard of it, they said to one another, “It’s by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.”
25 Aware of their thoughts, Jesus said, “Every kingdom divided against itself comes to ruin” {why division is sowed?} “and no city or house divided - against itself - will remain standing. 26 So if Satan casts out Satan, he’s divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? So let them be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit{/Presence} of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. 29 For how can someone enter a strong man's house {man’s world} and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man {aka “god of this world”}? Then he is able to plunder his house. 30 Whoever isn’t with me is against me, and whoever doesn’t gather with me scatters.
31 I tell you, every sin and blasphemy is forgiven, but the blasphemy against the Spirit(/Presence of God) is not forgiven. [Greek words don’t have much future tense. Blasphemy/insulting or raging against God’s Spirit/Presence cannot be forgiven - aphiémi - left, forgiven, abandoned, sent away, whiLe blaspheming/raging/insulting.}
32 Whoever speaks against the Son of Man, forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit not forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.” {This age - up to Jerusalem’s razing in 70 CE and next the “church age”? Or all of CE, then what’s called “the” millennium which precedes the second (collective) resurrection of Rev.20.}
33 “So either make the tree good and its fruit good! Or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad! For a tree is known by its fruit!
34 You nest of vipers! How can you speak good, while being evil? For it’s out of the abundance of the heart, that the mouth speaks.
35 A good person out of their good treasure brings forth good, and the evil [ponéros - wicked, bad, malicious] person out of malicious treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, during day of judgment people will give account [logos - reasoning] for every careless word they speak. 37 For by your words you’re justified. And by your words, are you judged.”
{Jn.5:22 - “God judges no one.” - Jn.12:47 - Jesus said “..I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world”. So who judges? What “correction” (kolasis, from “aionion kolasis” of Mt.25:46) is most effective?}
