08-06 - From 1Jn-1 Mk-5

8Th ‘Day’ Study, verses R paraphrased [ref] {thots}


1John 1:5-10  Mark 5:1-20


            ☀️ A.M. 1John 1:5-10

5 - This is the message we’ve heard from him and that we proclaim to you - that God is light, and in him is no darkness. No darkness at all.

     6 If we say we have friendship with him while we walk in darkness, we’re deceiving our self and others, and not living the truth. 7 But if we walk in the Light, as he’s in the Light, we have friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us {releases} [katharizΓ³ - root of catharsis] from all sin [hamartia - missing the mark].

     8 If we say we have no sin {imperfection, falling short, having made mistakes, bad choices, etc} we deceive ourselves, and the truth isn’t in us. 9 If we confess our sins {agree we’re imperfect/miss the mark of perfection} he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us [katharizΓ³] from all unrighteousness {all un-rightness! Which is entropy that “doesn’t quit”. So this is a rescue.}. 10 If we say we’ve never fallen short, we make him a liar, and his word {message, truth, logos-logic, reasoning} isn’t in us.


            πŸŒ™ P.M. MARK 5:1-20

1 - When they came to the other side of the sea of Galilee, to the country of the Gerasenes, 2 Jesus stepped out of the boat, and immediately, a man came out from among the tombs and met him. 3 He had an unclean spirit and lived there among the tombs. No one could keep him bound, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been shackled and chained, but he broke the chains apart, and tore the shackles in pieces. There was no one strong enough to subdue him. 5 And night and day he wandered among the tombs and among the hills, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

     6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me?! Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you by God, don’t torment me!” 8 For Jesus was saying to him, “Come out of the man! You unclean spirit!” 9 And he asked him, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion! For we are many!” 10 Then he begged him not to send them out of the country. 11 On the nearby hillside, a large herd of pigs was feeding, 12 and they begged him, “Send us to the pigs, and let us enter them.”

     13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came rushing out and entered the pigs, and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned.

     14 The herdsmen ran and told what had happened to the people in the city and the surrounding countryside. And people came to see. 15 And when they came to Jesus and saw the demon possessed man who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed, and in his right mind, they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it repeated to them what had occurred to the man and to the pigs.

     17 Then because they were afraid, the people asked Jesus to go away and leave the region. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons asked him if he might go with him. 19 But Jesus said, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you. And how he has had kindness upon you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis, the “land of the ten cities” how much Jesus had done for him. And they all marveled.

     [Mark wrote unclean spirit - “pneuma akathartos“  pneuma - wind, spirit, and akathartos, which is “a” without kathartos, root of catharsis - in verses 3 and 8. But demon possessed - “daimonizomai” in vs.18.

     Luke called the man demon possessed - “echΓ³ daimonion” Lk.8:27. And having many demons/daimonion, vs.30.] {From Rev.12:3,4,9 - “..a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven (“the stars are angels” Rev.1:20) and cast them to the earth ..the great dragon.. that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world“.

     Rev.13:1, the beast with seven heads and ten horns is his world empires used against the faith “five are fallen, one is (Roman Empire at the time) and one is to come” (after Western Civilization having blocked it is fully overcome) “but it will only remain for a little while - Dan.7:27 and 12:11-12 with Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16. A math riddle.

   Revelation chapter 12 is the 2nd of 3 tellings of the revelation vision. Vs.17 with Mt.23:39. Posting a Rev.12 study soon. These are my own studies.}

01-10 - 2 Cor-12 Mt-4

πŸ—️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots


 • 2 Corinthians 12:13-21  Matthew 4:18-23


            ☀️ 2 Corinthians 12:13-21

13 - Were you in less favor than the rest of the churches? Because I (Paul) didn’t burden you? Forgive me this wrong! 14 And now for a third time I’m ready to come to you. And I won’t be a burden! For I’m not looking for what you have, but for you yourselves. Children aren’t expected to feed the parents, parents feed the children. 15 So I’ll gladly even spend my soul {for the Lord’s sheep}. If I love abundantly, am I to be loved less? 16 But granting that I myself didn’t burden you, I was crafty! I caught you. {A fisher of men.} 17 And no one sent by me has exploited you.

     18 It was I who urged Titus to go to you, and who sent the brother with him. And in all genuineness, for we’re of the same spirit, and we act and walk in that same spirit. 19 Have you been thinking we’ve been defending ourselves to you? It’s in the sight of God, and in Christ, that we’ve been speaking. And all for your upbuilding, beloved. 20 For I fear that perhaps when I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish.

     Will there be quarreling? Jealousy? Anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder? 21 I’m afraid when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned earlier and haven’t repented of [changed their mind and turned from] the impurity [akatharsia - from a - not, and katharsis - genuine, to have no mixture nor contamination {rev.14:4; 7:9,4} root of catharsis; so, not genuine, but a mixture, impurity, contamination] they were practicing.


            πŸŒ™ Matthew 4:18-23

18 - While walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw the two brothers, Simon (who’s called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Come and follow me {come with me} and I’ll make you fishers of men!” 20 And immediately they dropped their nets and left.

     21 They went on from there, and he saw the other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called out to them.  22 And they left the boat and their father, and went with him.

     23 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all sicknesses and afflictions among the people.

04/12 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

    Paul’s Letter To The Philippians

[Paul’s first time at Philippi - Acts 16:9-40. They developed a strong bond] 12 - Therefore, my beloved, as you have always listened to my instructions for us, so now, not only when I’m there but much more so when I’m not. {For it’s all for and as toward the Lord, not a show to put on. For a happy creation there must be character. The greek root word of catharsis is something like, well katharsis, and it means “to be free of admixture.. no impurity” nothing noxious mixed in.} Work out {and ‘worry’ about} your - own - salvation [sΓ³tΓ©ria - welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety] with fear [phobos - fear, terror, alarm, reverence, respect] {from fear, terror, to alarm to reverence, to respect.. I was going to put a question mark right there.. but I became convinced not to while writing it} and trembling [tromos - trembling or quaking, with fear or reverence; a metaphorical trembling that reflects a deep sense of awe especially in the presence of God] {which Presence is his Spirit (with us)}. 13 For it is God who works in you, to bring about the good pleasure of his will. {His perfect and profound blueprint. Profound in its simplicity and logic. All of it, perfect. God is Life and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48).

     14 Do everything you have to do {in life} without grumbling or disputing, 15 so you may be blameless and innocent, children of God unmarred in the midst of a crooked and perverse age, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 as you hold fast to the word {message} of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be happy and proud that I did not run nor labor in vain. (In building these groups of believers. Jesus said, “make disciples in my name”.)

Romans 6 17-23

  02/03 ~ From New Testament Letters

   πŸ•Š️ (In the Order Believed Written)

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

17 - But thanks be to God! That you/we who were once in captivity to sin, and its slave, have become obedient, from the heart, to the standard of teaching to which you adhered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you have become ruled over now by righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of our natural limitations. Once we presented ourselves as slaves to impurity [akatharsΓ­a - from A - not, and katharΓ³s - clean because unmixed, pure, not contaminated; katharis, root of catharsis]. And in captivity to lawlessness, which led to more lawlessness. Now, present yourselves as slaves to righteousness, which leads to sanctification (purity, being made sacred).

     20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit {cause and effect} were you getting from it? With the end of those things being death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin [tresspass, “missing the mark”] and are now become captivated by God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its result, enduring life. 23 For the wages of sin [hamartia - missing the mark] is death (because God is Life and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48) but the FREE gift of God is enduring life - in - Christ Jesus, our Lord. {He is “the head” of the body of humanity. Especially of believers, and shall be fully of all humanity. Isaiah 14:27 - “For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it?”}
