 • Titus 3:8-15  John 12:20-36

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 3:8-15

8 - This is trustworthy, so insist on these things, so those who have believed in God may be genuinely stirred up {inspired} to good works.

     All these things are excellent and profitable for all. 9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law and about doctrines, for these are unprofitable and worthless.

     10 As for a person who stirs up division, warn them once, then twice, then stay away from them, 11 knowing such a one is {still} warped and sinful, so is self condemned. {..Self condemned/judged..}

     12 I will be sending Artemas or Tychicus to you, then do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I’ve decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, and see they lack nothing.

     14 Encourage everyone to learn to devote theirselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and so not be unfruitful. 15 All who are with me here, send you greetings. Greet all those who love us in the faith.

     And grace be with you all.

            🌙 P.M. John 12:20-36

20 - Now, there were among those who went up to worship at the feast (week of Passover/Unleavened Bread) some Greeks (gentiles/not Hebrew) 21 who came to Philip, he being from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew, and then they went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus said, “The hour” (marked by gentiles seeking him) “has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 For truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it will bear much fruit.”

     25 “Whoever loves their life loses it, and whoever hates [miseó - hates, loves less] their life of this world, will keep it for enduring life. 26 If anyone serves me, they’ll follow me. And where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them.”

     27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it’s for this hour that I’ve come. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have glorified it. And I will glorify it again.”

     29 The crowd that was standing there and heard it said, “It thundered.” Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world. And now will the ruler of this world be cast out.” (By this.) 32 “And I, if I’m lifted up from the earth, will draw all to me.” 33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

     34 Some among the crowd asked him, “We’ve heard from the Law that the Christ (Messiah) remains forever. How can you say the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” (Rev.12:1-5)

     35 Jesus answered, “The light” {the Truth/logos personified} “is among you for a little while longer. Walk {follow} while you have the light. Lest darkness come upon you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where they’re going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.”

     After he said these things, he left the temple and no longer walked among the people. (His public teaching, during this first brief advent, is over.)

03-22 - Eph-1 Jn-9

N.Testament & Prophecy Advanced CU Study, verses paraphrased  [ ] references { } thots

 • Ephesians 1:15-23  John 9:22-34 and Rev.19:9-16 separately

            ☀️ Ephesians 1:15-23

15 - I (Paul) have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints. 16 So I always give thanks when I remember you in my prayers. 17 Prayers that the God of our Lord Jesus, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom, and of revelation in the knowledge {and understanding} of him.

     18 That the eyes of your hearts will be opened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you! And what is the great wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints. {Even in CU there is great benefit in being in the “first resurrection” - Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13, door to serving called reigning during long second advent, full scope version of his so brief first one. Though when all is done, all will be so greatly blessed. The Greek word translated “end” or “the end” is tel. It’s the root of the word telescope. And it means the “end-aim”. Surely the prophetic pattern is from scope to scope until reaching full scope, at the end-aim.}

     19 And to understand what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us! {Especially} toward we who believe. And this is according to the working of his great might, 20 the same might and power that he worked in Christ, when he raised him from death, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realm 21 far above all rule, authority, power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the {ones} to come. [Word for word - not only in the age this but also in the coming.]

     22 And he put all [pas] under his feet and gave him as head over all [pas] the church, 23 which is his body, the one all in all filling! [“Pas en pas” - Translators (due to partial dis-belief?) changed “all” (pas) into “all things” whenever possible. Whereas all things in all things doesn’t really work well.]

            🌙 John 9:22-34

22 - The man born blind’s parents said this because they feared the leaders, for they had already agreed, if anyone should confess Jesus to be the Christ, they were to be put out of the synagogue. 23 That’s why his parents said, “He’s of age, ask him.”

     24 So for the second time they called the man who had been born blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know this man is a sinner!”

     25 But he answered, “Whether he’s a sinner I don’t know. One thing I do know, though I was blind, now I can see.”

     26 They asked him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He answered, “I told you already. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”

     28 “You are his disciple!” they said. “But we are disciples of Moses! 29 We know God spoke to Moses, but as for this man! We” [authorities, professionals, political leaders more than religious/spiritual] “don’t know where, he, comes from!” {Religious as devoted, not “psuedo”. Slapping someone else we think of as SELF ‘righteous’ with the label religious, is not accurate.. self righteous would be devoted to self more than God. And it’s very possible if I think of myself as spiritual, I can be just as devoted to self/look at me sentiment. Any “it’s all about moi” misses the mark.}

     30 The man answered, “This is an amazing thing! You don’t know where he comes from! And yet he opened my eyes! 31 We know God doesn’t listen to sinners. But if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to them. 32 Never since the world began, has it been heard of that someone has opened the eyes of a man born blind! 33 If this man wasn’t from God, he couldn’t do it.”

     34 They answered him, “You were born in utter sin! And would, you, teach us!” And they threw him out of the synagogue.

10-05 - Galatians 2 6-10

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

   🕊️ reading & study 🕊️

6 - And as for those held in high esteem - however held, makes no difference to me, God shows no favoritism - they added nothing to my message. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel TO the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel TO the circumcised (same gospel) 8 - for he who worked through Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised, worked also through me for my apostleship to the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Peter and John, who are esteemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and I. And agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. (To the Hebrews/Jews/Israel). 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I am always eager to do. {Paul too, was a Hebrew/Jew - the bible has a prophecy, because Israel didn’t recognize the coming of their Messiah, one result would be they would become known by a “byword and slang/slander”. But woe to anyone who touches them, or like in ancient days when Edom rejoiced at their adversity when enemies defeated them. ..Departing from God, his Spirit/Presence as a shield would fade. And the rebel angels, now spirits, entities, demons “having left their place, aka, strayed/fell, reaLLy haTe Israel. Christians too. All of humanity actually. (And are masters of genuine misinformation.) Imo, if we embrace division we will miss a wonderful thing!  Especially if the division is worldly based political dislike/hate/despising, then we are siding with “the god of this world” and hasten collapse and much suffering. And are being drawn to Rev.16:14-15-16? - Is.24:20/Rev.10:4 - And thus will sleep during the Lord’s long second advent and the opportunity to serve called reigning during the two millennium long advent (see Rev.20) a full scope version of his first so brief advent?}

09/03 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

16 - Don’t be misled, my beloved brethren! 17 Every good gift, every perfect gift, is from above! It comes down from the Father of light [of photon - radiance]. And he is not like the shifting shadows that change throughout each day. 18 It is his own will that he brought us forth by the word/message/reasoning/logos of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. {To serve called reigning during Jesus’ long second advent? Full scope version of his first so brief one? Note: the three mentions of lake of fire are at huge fiery events.}

      19 Know this, my beloved, let every one be quick to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger. 20 For human anger doesn’t produce the righteousness {and rightness} of God. 21 Therefore having put away all moral contamination and rampant wickedness [kakopoiéō - wicked disposition, malice, wickedness] {state of hatred? malice, galatians 5:20} receive with humility the implanted word [logos - reasoning, root word of logic] which is able to save your souls [psuché - soul, life, self, inner being]. 22 But don’t deceive and mislead yourself! Being only hearers of the word. But be doers of it! [Doer - performer, poet.]

          Luke 22:7-16

7 The Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed. (Passover, is at the first month, Nisan’s, full moon. Which months begin with the new moon, so Passover is on Nisan (or Abib) 14. And the next day, the 15th, is “First Day (of seven days) of Unleavened Bread” - Leviticus 23, Exodus 12. The entire ‘week’ has become called both Passover and Unleavened Bread. And the days are called interchangeably as well. Days begin at sunset, rather than at midnight. This all veils HOW perfectly the Lord’s first, brief advent fulfilled the Spring holy days, of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits. He also fulfilled the regular weekly Sabbath of “no work”/earning, for in Christ, redemption from the death sentence/result, is a Gift to be received, and thus does death’s hold pass us over.) 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” 9 “Where?” they asked. 10 “As you enter the city” he said, “you will meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him to the house that he enters. 11 And say to the master of the house, ‘The teacher asks where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 And he will show you to a large upper room all furnished, that’s where to prepare. 13 So they went and they found it all as he had said, and they prepared the Passover. (I think I read once the Pharisees and Sadducees ate the Passover on different evenings, but I’m not sure, yet this is what I’ve believed for a while now, and Jesus knowing his imminent arrest, kept Passover on the earlier, even if inaccurate, option.🤷🏼‍♀️ John’s account clearly shows Jesus had died before the Passover meal was eaten. He was THE passover lamb, for all generations and time. Christ crucified, ultimately strong enough to appease every guilty, tormented conscience and psyche.) 14 Later, when he and the disciples were reclined at table, 15 he said, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

From New Testament Letters

       (In the Order Written)

    ~ 1 Corinthians 7:8-23 ~

8 Let me say this to the unmarried and widows, it is good to remain single, even as I am. 9 But if they don’t have self control, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 10 And those who are married, I give this instruction, which is from the Lord, they should stay married. 11 But if they are separated, they should remain single or return to one another. (Jesus said divorce for adultery was lawful. Though of course if forgiveness and reconciliation is possible.. Also of course no one is required to stay with an abuser. Disputes could be brought to two or three elders..) 12 And now the rest I (Paul) say, on my own, not from the Lord, if a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she is content to stay married, then stay married. 13 And same with a sister, if she is married to a nonbeliever. 14. For the believer will sanctify the other and the children will be sanctified [hagiázō - from hágios - holy, to regard as special, sacred, set apart] as well. 15 But if the unbeliever does leave, let it be so. The brother or sister is no longer obligated, for God has called us to live in peace. 16 Do you wives not realize your husband may come to believe because of you? And you husbands, do you not know your wife may become a believer because of you? 17 Each should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my instruction in all the churches. 18 For example, if a man is circumcised when called, he should not try to change it. And if he is not circumcised, he should not be circumcised, 19 for whether he is circumcised or not circumcised, doesn’t matter. But what matters is the keeping of God’s commands/instructions. 20 Each one in their calling to which they were called [kaléō - to call, summon, a calling; used of God’s inviting all people to receive His gift of salvation with all His blessings that go with it] let them remain in that state. 21 If you are a bond (debt, usury) slave, don’t let it bother you, but if you can secure your freedom, all the better. 22 For in Christ, the slave is free! And the freeman is now a slave to Christ. 23 You were bought with a price! So do not become enslaved to men/man [anthropos].
