         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

1 - We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the weakness [asthenéma - weakness, infirmity, doubt, hesitation] of the weaker. It’s not a matter of pleasing ones self. 2 But let each of us please our neighbor, for their good, to build them up. 3 For Christ didn’t please himself, but as it’s written, “The insults of those who insult you, fell upon me.” 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction and guidance. The encouragement - of the Scriptures - {see note below, translation error principles; due to partial dis-belief?} is that we might have hope [elpis - hope, expectation, trust, confidence]. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in union with Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you! For the cause of promoting the glory (glorious renown) of God.

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, and in 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 were 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)

Words That Heal

Christians are supposed to be able to speak and pray healing by praying and speaking in the name of Jesus (as if for Him). And even raise the dead on occasion, and not by using a defibrillator... It seems to me it has to be some sort of speaking to the molecules.. And being the children of God, made in His image, is the key.. All part of God's grand agreement, signed in blood no less! (Such a signature is very dramatic, able to strike the heart of every creature). And the proof, pledge, and stamp of guarantee (old term being "surety") is His Presence with us which is the Holy Ghost flowing through us. The proof of His Presence is our heart crying "Father!" [Hooray! My Father! (Your Father, our Father..)]
...That peace which is like a river and swells up into joy.. But very few of us successfully pray or speak a lot of healing.. or maybe we just don't try, or don't have enough peaceful (que sera, sera) confidence..?
