            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 1:4-10

(Paul begins his letter to the Corinthian believers.) 4 - I give thanks to God always for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus. 5 In every way you were enriched in him! Both in your words and in your understanding and knowledge - 6 even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you - 7 so that you’re not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the return [apokalupsis - appearing, coming, manifestation, revelation] of our Lord Jesus, 8 who will sustain you to the end [telos - end-aim, purpose, goal, completion, fulfillment] preserved as blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus. 9 For God is faithful. It was by him, that you were called into the fellowship [koinónia - communion, participation, sharing, community, friendship] of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

     10 I appeal to you, my brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus, that you all agree, being of one mind and there be no divisions among you. But that you be united - in the same faith - and judgments.

     {How? By agreeing with what was originally taught, which we are blessed to have in our New Testament/Testimony - 📜🍞+🍷🕊️(+logic) and a good language tool, like biblehub dot com.}

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 13:1-8

1 - As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones - and - what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left, here - not even one - stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” {69/70 CE razing of Jerusalem, and? 1st ..temple stones.. then the 70 weeks gap, to Daniel 12:11. Which occurs mid treaty/league that lasts only seven years? And the word is “perpetual” not necessarily “daily” (sacrifices of prayers, etc..?) Then next verse, Dn.12:12 as ‘trib’ duration? With the last “ten days” (Rev.2:10) escalating to most perilous?}

     3 A little later, as he was across the Kidron Valley from the temple, on the Mount of Olives (in an olive tree grove) Peter, Andrew, James, and John asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will that happen? And what will be the sign, when it’s about to happen?” 5 And Jesus told them, “See to it that no one leads you astray. 6 For many will come in my name saying I’m he and will lead many astray.” {A first line of attack against Christianity’s progress and well being, is translation errors of some words in the scripture, then bam! second line of attack, distrust of the scriptures, including our New Testament/Testimony. The world of course rejects the scripture, and slanders it. The Old Testament is trustworthy and good also. I think before the flood there was even cannibaalism (as I’ve come to think, concerning the flood.). And the heartlessly, cruel Canaanites, God also wanted out of the world, now they rest, awaiting resurrection during GWT judgment ‘day’ also called “aionion kolasin”/eonian korrection/age of correction. God also gets grief (and judged!) for noT stopping great evils. If Israel had not been warriors, surely they would have been chewed up and spit out? So much for being swaddling cloths for Messiah/Savior of the world? Had there been no option to stray in Eden, creation would be an ant farm. Trust God. Trust the Scriptures. I think translators just couldn’t fully believe, that’s how Good the message is. So aionion kolasin became neverending punishment/torment😳. Five words became hell. “All” became “all things” whenever it would work. In Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10.. and more. But not in “all scripture fortraining” because it won’t work. Or in 1Cor.15:28 “so that God will be all in all” - Greek word “pas” - “every, all, the whole”. )

     Mk.13:7 “And when you hear of wars and conflicts” Jesus said, [polemos - wars, battles, conflicts {riots, etc?} quarrels, from pelomai - to bustle {poles?/division? unrest, agitation}] “and rumors of conflict, don’t be disturbed. It must come to pass, but the end (greek tel - end aim) is not yet..” 8 For nation will rise against nation. And kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are but the beginning of birth pangs. {The birthing of the Lord’s long second advent.. And then the full kingdom of God. Likened to birth pains, how they increase. Jesus said what’s not built on the Rock/Truth falls. And Father has said it won’t rise up again.}

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 1:1-3

1 - (From) Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2 to the church [ekklésia - from ek - out from and to, and kaléō - to call; (to the) ecclesia, assembly, group] {people} of God in Corinth {the called out, and called to}. To those set apart in Christ Jesus, and called to be his holy {sacred, set apart} people - together with aLL those everywhere - {of every time/aion/age} who call on the name of our Lord Jesus. Their Lord and ours.

     3 Grace and peace to you! From God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Messiah (Christos/Christ).

            ༺☾𖤓༻ LUKE 21:1-7

1 - As Jesus was in the temple, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 including a poor widow who put in two very small copper coins. 3 He then said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 For they gave from their wealth. But she, out of her poverty has put in what she had to live on.”

     5 Some of the disciples were saying how the temple was built with such beautiful and impressive stones and was arrayed in beauty and dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for all you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left upon another, but every one of them will be thrown down.” {In Lk.19:41,44 - Jesus says, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem.. not oNe stone will be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down” imo, portraying the “70 weeks gap”! WiTh Dan.12:11(12) (aNd 1Cor.3:16).}

     7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all that happen?! And what will be the sign that it’s about to take place?” {Prophecy is fulfilled in scopes, the “smaller” more immediate fulfillment, and the full scope at the culmination/apocalypse/unveiling. Does Dan.12:11(12) begin the full scope countdown? of 45 days, last “ten days” escalating to most critical? Rev.2:10.} {Prophecy is veiled by its riddles? Fulfilled as ‘smaller scope’ then larger full scope,  also pertains to the Lord’s two advents, 2nd being a full scope version of his 1st, but with helpers serving, called reigning?}

Jesus “wiLL draw all” Jn.12:32.

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ༺☀️༻ Galatians 6:9-18

9 - Let us not grow weary and give up on doing good, for we’ll reap in due season! 10 As we have opportunity, we should do good to all. Especially, to those who are of the household of faith. {Our currently closest brothers and sisters.}

     11 See with what large letters I’m writing to you with my own hand. (Paul had developed eye trouble.) 12 It is those who want to show themselves off as making a good show who would force you to be circumcised. {Or whatever requirement(s) they demand}. And this is only in order that they won’t be criticized for the cross of Christ. {Hebrew believers wanting friendship and approval from their world, of their day and place. Today, a personal conviction, or preference, about when to keep Sabbath, for example, is well and good, but is not a commandment.} 13 For even those who are circumcised don’t themselves keep the law, but they want to have you circumcised that they may boast in you. {Believers can be misled by wanting followers of themselves? Setting self up as an example and leader?} 14 But I don’t want to boast in anything, except in the cross {salvation, rescue} of our Lord Jesus, the Christ [christos - anointed one].

     And by him I’ve been crucified to the world. And the world has been crucified to me. 15 Circumcision {or whatever requirement} doesn’t matter. Whether you are circumcised or not circumcised, makes no difference. What matters is being a new creation! [Romans 14:5,6]

     16 And for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them! And upon the Israel {whole household} of God. {Yes we are “grafted into Israel”. There “is no longer hebrew or greek, male or female (in spiritual status). The world’s nation Israel is still exactly in God’s plan as he has designed during this course through imperfection/entropy. Which is unavoidable? Unless creation’s to be an ant farm? And, Israel figures much in biblical prophecy, as does the u.s. but in different roles. The U.S. plays two roles, two beginnings, Rev.12:14(white hat) and $ity of babble (free enterprise highjacked and gone “harlot”/pornea) locale now gone to all 7hills/continents. And Rev.13:13 pinpointed an office, which event was another beginning..) Also involved of course, World politics, the many headed geopolitical beaSt, Rev.17:12,16-18. But! The Revelation vision has been, in very large part, veiled due to its riddles! And lake of fire unable to be deciphered early on..} 

     17 And from now on let no one cause me (Paul) any trouble. For I bear on my body, the scars of having served Jesus.

     18 The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you, brothers and sisters. Amen.

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 12:35-44

35 - As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that Messiah (Greek Christ) is the son of David? 36 When David, by the Holy Spirit, said, ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.’ 37 How can David call him Lord if he’s his son and descendant?”

     The people were happy to listen to Jesus. {The LORD said to my Lord.. as in 1Cor.15:27 and 28 where eveRy all is “all” - greek word pas. So what is actually repeated three times in verse 27?}

     38 And he said, “Be wary of the scribes. For they like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces, 39 and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at feasts. 40 Yet they devour widows' houses! And as a pretense make long prayers. They’ll receive the greater judgment.”

     41 Later, he was sitting a short way from the treasury (box) and was watching the people put money in. Many wealthy people put in many silver coins. 42 But then a poor widow came in who put in two small copper coins.

     43 So he called his disciples over and said to them, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than anyone else. 44 For they have put in out of their abundance. But she out of her poverty, has put in all she had.”

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ༺☀️༻ Galatians 6:1-8

1 - Brethren, if someone has become captured by a transgression [paraptóma - from parapipto: a side-slip (lapse or deviation), i.e. (unintentional) error or (willful) transgression -- fall, fault, offense, sin, trespass] you who are spiritual should restore them in a spirit of gentleness. But keep a watch upon yourself, lest you be tempted and pulled in as well. 2 But if you carry one another's burdens, you’ll fulfill the law of Christ. {Versus “bite and devour one another”? Gal.5:15.} 3 For if any of us thinks we are someone, we deceive our self.

     4 We should all test our own work, for then we will have the satisfaction of a job well done and won’t need to compare ourself to another. 5 Everyone has a burden to bear that is theirs only.

     6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Don’t be deceived, God is not mocked.

    Whatever one sows {puts out} is what they reap. 8 For the one who sows to the {so easily misled} carnal, lower nature will reap corruption [phthora - destruction, decay, decomposition] {things fall apart}. But the one who sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit they will reap a harvest of Life enduring!

     “...You who are spiritual should restore them in a spirit of gentleness..”

            ༺☾𖤓༻ LUKE 20:41-47

[When the Pharisees, scribes and some elders (leaders, authorities) had come and asked him “by what authority do you do these things?” (Teach the people, and he had overturned the tables of those selling in the temple courts.] 21 His answer to them was {a riddle} - “How is it said that the Christ is David's son? 42 For David says in the Book of Psalms, ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit here at my right hand, 43 until I make your enemies your footstool.’ 44 If David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

     45 And in the hearing of all the people he told his disciples, 46 “Beware of those who like to walk around in long robes. And who love respectful greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the meeting places, and the seats of honor at feasts. 47 But who devour widows' houses, and as a show and pretense, make lengthy prayers. They shall receive greater condemnation” [krima - judgment, verdict, condemnation, decision].

            ༺☀️༻ Galatians 5:22-26

22 - The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such as that there is no law {needed}. 24 For those who belong to Jesus have crucified the flesh {lower, selfish nature} with its passions [pathéma - suffering, affliction, passion] and desires [epithumia - forbidden passions].

    25 If we live by the Spirit{/Presence of God our Father who is Love, Life and “is perfect”} let us daily walk in his Spirit. 26 Not becoming boastful and conceited, not provoking one another to anger {harsh thoughts and words} and envying one another. {Competing.}

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 12:28-34

28 - A scribe came along and heard them disputing about resurrection, and hearing Jesus answer so well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important one?”

     29 And Jesus said, “The most important, is ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God is one.” {Especially important in the ancient time of plural gods, the time of “the gods”. That God was not one of the plural ‘gods’ that were in the likeness of present imperfect humanity.}

     30 “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul [psyche], with all your mind, and with all your strength.’” {With all our very being. Logical since God iS life.. and Love.} 31 “The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no greater commandment than these.”

     32 And the scribe said, “You are right, Teacher! You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” {Those to appease the human conscience! We know we’re flawed. When we mess up we know it. And we will, sabotage and punish ourselves, perhaps sneakily like a monster hiding under the bed.}

     34 And Jesus, seeing that the scribe had answered wisely, said to him, “You’re not far from the kingdom of God.” After that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
