Hebrews 12:3-10  Luke 8:9-18

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 12:3-10

3 - Consider Jesus who endured such hostility against himself! So you don’t grow weary or fainthearted, 4 for in your struggle you haven’t had to suffer what others have. 5 And have you forgotten this? Which speaks to you as to sons and daughters - “My son/daughter, don’t regard lightly the discipline [paideia - discipline, instruction, training, education] of the LORD, nor be weary when corrected by him. 6 For he disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every one whom he receives” (Proverbs 3:11-12).

    7 The endurance {crucible} is a discipline. God is treating us as sons and daughters. For what son or daughter is there whom a father doesn’t correct? 8 If we are left without correction, in which all take part, then we are illegitimate children, and not sons and daughters! 9 Besides, haven’t we had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them? Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and receive Life? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed fitting to them, but he disciplines us for our benefit, that we may share his character and his nature of holiness.

     {How can we be a temple for his Spirit/Presence if we aren’t aligned with him? He is Life, Love, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48. Perfect and Life, is why this imperfection is ruled by entropy, and so he “is savior of all”. Some now, some during the GWT “aionion kolasis” (eonian korrection) second half of an “8th” millennium, REV.20, and LEV.23-as an outline of the Lord’s TWO advents. The long second advent, surely(?) is a full scope version of his first so brief one.. but with helpers serving, called reigning? It being Mt.25:1-13 versus Rev.16:14-15-16? What I mean is MT.13:30 with Jn.5:28,29.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 8:9-18

9 - When his disciples asked him what the parable of the seeds meant, 10 Jesus said, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God. But for others they’re in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ {Not their time.}

     11 The seed is the word of God. 12 The seeds along the path are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts so they may not believe and be saved.

     13 And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root {depth} and believe for a while, but in a time of difficulty, they fall away.

     14 And as for the seed (message) that fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way the message is choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures {distractions} of life. And the fruit {of the message} doesn’t mature.

     15 But as for the seed in the good soil, they are those who, with an honest and genuine heart, hear the word, and keep it. And with patience and steadfastness bear fruit.

     16 No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jug or puts it under a bed! But they put it on a table or lampstand, so those who enter may see by its light. 17 There’s nothing hidden that won’t be made known, no secret and mystery, that won’t be seen and come to light.

     18 Take care then, how you hear, for to the one who has (hears) more will be given. And from the one who has not {doesn’t hear} even what they think they have, will be taken away.” {Note how there’s no time word in this verse so why is there so much assuming of ‘for ever’..? Including likely, when this verse is read. And some verses with no time word in them, have been translated to include the word “forever”.}

 • Romans 2:1-5  Matthew 5:27-37 and ACTS 13:43-52 separately

            ☀️ Romans 2:1-5

1 - It is inexcusable for anyone to set theirself up as judge. For in passing judgment upon another is to condemn one’s self, because the same things are done by all. {ALL are prone to “hamartia - missing the mark” translated sin.} 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon all. 3 Do you suppose, you who pass judgment on others for things you yourself do, that you will {somehow} escape the judgment of God? 4 Do you despise his rich kindness, forbearance and patience? Don’t you know his kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart {surely every imperfect being has fallen short and has at least some regrets.. either of things done, or things not done.. or even our thoughts, or impulses that come to mind, opportunities to do good or be kind that we let pass by.. words spoken in haste, whereas if no regrets} you’re storing up wrath. [Orge - passion] {cause and effect? His passion as opposed to creating a mere ant farm! Passion for purity, truth, perfection, genuineness, Life] for he is Life, aNd, “is Perfect” mt.5:48, so only Perfection can endure, and be God’s will. The biggest cause and effect being that imperfect is entropy the “worm that does not quit” and is the “fire (THE crucible) that is not quenched”/put out.}

     Storing up wrath for the day of wrath [orge - passion] and the {passionate} revelation of God's righteous {“perfect”} judgment. [Next verse: “Who will render to every one according to their deeds”/their own doings.]

            🌙 Matthew 5:27-37

27 -  “You have heard it said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you everyone looking upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery in his heart. 29 If your right eye will cause you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It’s better to lose it than your whole body be thrown into gehenna.” {He is of course exaggerating for dramatic effect.} [Gehenna Valley was the place of the city dump, where even the bodies of criminals were thrown, so the fires were kept burning. It was a great threat and insult to not be properly buried.] 30 “So if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you! It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into gehenna.

     31 It’s also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her, though innocent, the victim of adultery. And if he marries (another) he commits adultery.

     33 Again you’ve heard it said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the LORD what you have sworn.’” {Lying wasn’t in the “ten commandments” except not to swear an oath falsely. Not that lying isn’t a “trespass”/missing the mark, translated “sin”.}

     “But I say to you, don’t take an oath at all! Either by heaven, for it’s the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it’s his footstool. Nor by Jerusalem, for it’s the city of the great KING. 36 And don’t take an oath by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Anything more than this comes from evil.” [Ponéros - evil, wicked, bad, malicious, slothful, from porneo - to work hard, and ponos - pain ridden, aligns with the Hebrew understanding of evil as anything that opposes God's will and righteousness/rightness.]

🗝️’s to riddles, N.T. in a yr study, verses paraphrased Logic [ ] references { } thots

☀️ 1 - Since we have these - promises - beloved, let us rid ourselves from every pollution of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the reverence of God.

     2 And make room for us in your hearts. We’ve wronged no one, we’ve corrupted no one, we’ve not taken advantage of any one. 3 I (Paul) don’t say this to judge you! For as I said before, you’re in our hearts. Whether we die together, or live together!

     4 I’m acting with great boldness toward you because I have great pride in you. I’m filled with comfort! In all our troubles, I’m overflowing with joy!

     5 Even when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, we were troubled at every turn. There was fighting without. And fear within. 6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus! 7 And not only by his coming but by your good words of comfort to us with which you sent him back with. He told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal. So I rejoiced even more. 8 Because even if I made you grieve with my letter, I don’t regret it.

     Though I did regret it! For I knew the letter would grieve you. But only for a while! 9 As it is, I rejoice! Not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved to repentance [metanoia - to change ones mind, to turn, repent]. For it was a godly grief, so you lost nothing from it, but gained. 10 For godly grief makes us come to our senses, which gains for us life, safety, wholeness, without regret. Whereas worldly grief [lupé - sorrow, grief, pain, distress] produces loss of life. {Stress, etc, equals less life? Now, and shorter duration of life? Sweeping issues under the carpet isn’t the best remedy? Burying them in the psyche.. Whereas Father and Son’s love graphically displayed as a high priced ransom, Christ Crucified, is strong enough to appease every psyche. Rich man, poor man parable, and the Rev.22 - outside of the vision - narrative, portray (surely?) initial, inner conditions of some during GWT Judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’.. The inner, outside of the light darkness and gnashing of teeth.. which - Jn.12:32 - will progress to the weeping.. beating self up with many stripes.. Think cruel and heartless despots, large and small.. ultimately the gut wrenching remorse.. in God’s radiant and blazing Light, not soon put aside and fully forgotten. Imperfect being not only entropy, but a true abyss of potential.. Pre-flood was hands off.. First proof.. Seditious angels first, as accelerant.. And this one and done, the onLy crucible - imperfection. The dis-ease as part of the cure? Unavoidable unless creation’s to be a mere Ant Farm?}

11-25 - Mark 15 1-15

 N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [  ] references {  } thots

☀️ 1 - As soon as morning came, the leaders held a council, the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they decided to take Jesus bound to the Roman governor Pilate.

     2 Pilate questioned him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And Jesus answered, “You have said so, not me.” [Under Rome, declaring himself king would mean execution.] 3 The leading priests were accusing him of many things, 4 and Pilate said, “Have you no answer?” 5 But Jesus remained silent, and Pilate was amazed.

     6 Now at the feast each year [of Passover week] Pilate would release a prisoner being held, whomever they asked for. 7 And among the rebels in prison was one, Barabbas who had committed murder in an insurrection. 8 And a crowd which had gathered began to ask Pilate for the year’s Passover release. 9 And he answered them, “Do you want me to release the King of the Jews?” 10 For he knew it was out of envy that the leading priests {the leaders of the nation, Israel, under Roman occupation} had apprehended him. 11 But the leaders had been working the crowd, and successfully stirred them up to ask for Barabbas.

     12 “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked. 13 And they cried out, “Crucify him!”

     14 “But why? What has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him!” 15 So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and having Jesus flogged, he delivered him over to be executed.

     {Sentenced at morning sacrifice on Passover, one of three “preparation days” of the week, which of course are preparation days for the three Sabbaths of Spring holy week. For a few reasons, it is not at first easy to see how exact it was that Jesus’ first so brief advent fulfilled the Spring holy days. But after understanding that, might we wonder about the parallel between the stretched out Fall holy days and His long second advent? Leviticus chapter 23. The days being Trumpets, 10days later {1000 yrs later} — ‘Day’ of Atonement, and 5days later — Tabernacles.

     “Behold! I make all new! …God will now tabernacle with man.. And the lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow.. For there will be no more death. And no mourning, nor sorrow.” A (fieRy) “palin/again- genesis” having occurred, Rev.21:1-5, Is.11:7, translated “the regeneration”.

     Note - “the” millennium is a Sabbath millennium, so logically, the next millennium is an “8th day” the “last great day” (Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37) when 1. The adversary, original gone rogue one, is released and he gathers, once again, a multitude - these are people descended from mortal survivors of the apocalypse. They are gathered to another fieRy armageddon, Rev.20:7-10. And, after all that concludes, 2. the GWT judgment ‘day’. Which in Matthew 25:46, Jesus calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “korrection eonian”] the completing of drawing all, Jn.12:32! [JN.5:28-29.] And surely(?) it’s a same process of refinement/correction for all. The crucible being life as we presently know it - this unavoidable, all important contrast - which continues until vivification either at 1Cor.15:52,53 oR later, at Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28.}

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 10:1-9

 1 - He left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and out beyond the Jordan. And crowds once again gathered to him. And as was his custom, he taught them. (Be still my heart.)

      2 And Pharisees came and attempted to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?” 4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.” (Rather than sending her away without divorce.) 5 And Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment/instruction/law. 6 But at the beginning and forming of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ 7 ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and join closely to his wife, 8 and the two are become one.’ So they are no longer two but one. 9 What therefore God has joined together, man should not separate.” (“Except for adultery” Mt.19:9, and of course abuse. We’re all born sinners/missing the mark/imperfect and have not done all things perfectly, and still don’t. Jesus did not scold the woman of Samaria he met at the well, who had had five(!) husbands. Only once born anew can anyone hope to genuinely do better in this life.)

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ James 1:1-8 ~

1 - From James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (Likely this James is Jesus’ natural brother who became a serious disciple and apostle after Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection [Passover, UB, Firstfruits - the ancient Spring holy days fulfilled. Pentecost])

     To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion:

Greetings.

2 Count it all joy, my brethren (brothers and sisters) when trials of various kinds come upon you! 3 For you know the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and stability. (Tested like steel in the forge of life. Life as we presently know it, the crucible, laver, sieve, which continues until one of two - written - vivifications. At the Lord’s return, or at the “behold I make all new” - greek word “pas” all, but translated, all things, Rev.21:5.) 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect! So that you may be made perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (Even Jesus was thusly tempered.)

     5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let them ask God. For he gives generously to all - without reproach - and it will be given to them. 6 But let them ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is tossed about by the wind. (By all the various winds.) 7 For that person must not suppose that they will receive from the Lord. (Faith, believing, expectation is the ground wire of “receiving”.) 8 They are being double-minded and therefore unstable in all their ways. (Remember the father of a afflicted son who cried “help Lord my unbelief!” The scripture is a treasure trove of riddles. We will never understand its Glorious message if we are doubtful, full of doubt. We become like a swimmer in deep waters thrashing about, grabbing onto any flotsam that floats by?)
