(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

1 - Finally, then, brethren/brothers and sisters, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that even as you received from us how you ought to walk in a way that is pleasing to God - just as you are doing! And that you {and we, all} do so more and more.

     2 For you know the instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 How this is the will of God, your sanctification [being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness and similarity of nature].

     That you abstain from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you know how to control their own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion [pathos - immoderate and disorderly passion, suffering] of lust [epithumia - desire, longing for what’s forbidden] like Gentiles (the nations) who don’t know God. {And actually can’t be expected to please God / make him happy, without God’s Spirit/Presence/Power. Western Civilization wAs built largely upon biblical principles, but now has “fallen away” because of the “strong delusion” of “man(kind) being seated in the temple as God”/highest power. This by the worLd’s “false prophet” Same ‘one’ who enabled Rev.13:13, but which was carried out by an oFFice. ..I could add the next bead in the truth necklace.. these fingers do like to go on and on..}

     6 God’s morality insures no one transgresses and does wrong [pleonekteó - takes advantage of, overreaches, defrauds/seduces] in this manner, because the Lord is an avenger in all such matters, as we told you before and have solemnly warned. 7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to us.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 13:18-30

18 - Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?

     19 The kingdom is like a tiny mustard seed, which is planted in a garden. {Or a heart.} It grows and it becomes like a tree. So that even the birds of the air come, and to perch {and sing} in its branches.”

     20 Again Jesus said to the people, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It’s like leaven which a woman works into THREE measures of meal/flour {three loaves} until aLL, is leavened.” {Hello! 1Cor.15:22-28 =‘s THREE loaves, three harvests, barley, wheat, grape - Rev.21:5 - “Behold! {Look!} I make all new!” The Greek word “pas” = all. “Things” was inserted at translation. As also elsewhere.}

     “The kingdom is like leaven which a woman works into THREE measures of meal until all is leavened.” (1Cor.15:22-28, compare the five “pas” in 27,28.. And originally, what does 27 repeat 3 times?)

     22 Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, teaching through towns and villages as he went. 23 And as he went along, someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few being saved?”

     And he answered, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door. {The narrow Way.} For many, I tell you, seek to enter, but they’re not able to. 25 And once the master of the house has shut the door, and you come along and stand outside and knock, saying, ‘Open to us,’ then he’ll answer you, ‘I don’t know where you come from.’ {I don’t know where you’re coming from? ..This is at his return. (Mt.25:1-13) The door that shuts, is the one to “the” millennium and long second advent (which consists of two millennium - Rev.20). The door is to serving called reigning, during it? Which is surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one? It’s noT - logically, nor biblically - a forever door, closed forever to Life!

    26 Then you’ll say, ‘But we ate and drank in your presence. You taught in our streets!’ 27 But he’ll say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all workers (and supporters?) of unrighteousness [adikia - injustice, unrighteousness {And Gal.5:20? carnality of division, rivalry}].’

     28 In that place (initiaLLy, away from him) {during GWT judgment ‘day’/aionion kolasis} you will see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast outside. {To the - inneR - outside of the Light darkness.} There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 29 But others will come from east, west, north and south. And they will recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30 But, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

New info! I’ve thought a lot about Mt.13:33, key word 3! Matthew’s version of the “Three measures of meal” parable - “God’s kingdom is like leaven worked into 3 measures of meal / three loaves, until, aLL is leavened” - as with the harvest list of 1Cor.15:22-28’s THREE harvests!

      1-“Jesus the Firstfruit” 2-“the wheat at his coming” aNd 3-then comes the ‘end’ (greek word “tel” the “end-aim”) when “all has been subdued under the Son” (actually when all - “pas” - hAve been subdued under him) and death, the last enmity has also been “annulled” - which of course, is also Rev.21:1-5 at the (fiery) ReGenesis, when God says “Behold! I make all (pas) new!”

     The new (to me) info is in Gen.18:1-8, the three visitors to Abraham and Sarah, one of them was the Lord (Son of God). Sarah bakes three loaves for a meal for them. For the Lord..

     THE offering to God.. three loaves, three harvests.. all humanity sealed.

Hebrews 10:30-34 Mark 2:23-28 Luke 6:1-5

           ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 10:30-34

30 - For we know he who said, “Mine is vengeance, I will repay.” {Great acts of evil will not go without consequences.} And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” {Even on collective GWT judgement ‘day’ I believe he judges us in our own heart.} 31 A fearful thing it is to fall into the hands of the living God.

    32 But recall the earlier days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great conflict of suffering, 33 sometimes being publicly subjected to insults and persecution {accusation?} Sometimes being partners with those being mistreated. 34 For you have had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the seizure of your property, since you knew you have a better and an enduring possession [huparxis - existence, being, substance, property, trust, inheritance].

            🌙 P.M. Mark 2:23-28 Luke 6:1-5

23 - One Sabbath he was going through the grain fields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And some Pharisees who saw it, said to Jesus, “Look, why are they doing what isn’t lawful to do on the Sabbath?!” {Like they were harvesting the field, lol.}

     25 But he said to them, “Have you never read what David did? When he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him? 26 How he entered into the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it isn’t lawful for any but the priests to eat. And he also gave it to those who were with him? 27 The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

     Lk.6:1 - On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grain fields, his disciples plucked some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and ate the kernals”. 2 But some Pharisees there said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answered, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry? He and those who were with him? 4 How he entered the house of God and took the bread of the Presence and ate it? Which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him? 5 The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

 • 1 Peter 4:9-19  John 15:18-27 

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 4:9-19

9 - Show hospitality to one another without grudging. 10 For as each has received a gift - use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. 11 Whoever speaks, be as one who speaks the oracles of God. Whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God gives. This is in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion age to age. Amen.

     12 Beloved, don’t be surprised at the fieRy trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice, as you share Christ's sufferings, you also will rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you’re insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, as a thief, or as an evildoer, or a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let them not be ashamed, but let them glorify God in the Lord’s name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause]. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God. And if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who don’t obey the gospel (good news) of God? {Not an ‘eternal’ outcome, but earthly, like the rest of ones life, it being cause and effect.} 18 And “If the righteous are saved [sózó - saved, rescued, delivered, healed, preserved] with difficulty, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?” {At DOA for the initially doa! 1Pet.4:6 “And to this end, indeed! That even to the dead, the good news is announced” ..during second half of the “8th day”/millennium, the GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’. But Rev.20 is told like describing only the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

      19 Therefore let those who suffer according [kata - according to, down, throughout, by, against] God's will, entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while continuing to do good.

            🌙 P.M. John 15:18-27

18 - “If the world hates you, know it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would accept you as its own. But because you’re not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, the world does not accept you. 20 Remember how I said to you, ‘A servant isn’t greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they’ll persecute you. If they kept my word, they’ll keep yours.

     21 But all these things they’ll do to you on account of my name, because they don’t know he who sent me. 22 If I hadn’t come and spoken to them, they wouldn’t have been guilty, but now they have no cover.

     23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

  24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else has done, they would not be guilty, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 And the scripture written in The Law is fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

     26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit{/Presence of God} and Truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27 And you disciples of mine will also bear witness [martureó - testify, give evidence, affirm what one has seen, heard, or experienced] because you have been with me from the beginning.” {Of his first so brief advent.}

 • Romans 9:27-33  Matthew 13:31-43

           ☀️ Romans 9:27-33

27 - Isaiah cried out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be delivered [sozo - saved, healed, preserved, delivered, rescued] 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence {cause and effect} upon the earth, fully and without delay.” {We have assumed earthly judgments to be forever and eternal judgments, but the word involved is usually aion, root of eon, and means age, or aionion, of an age. Forever, and afterlife, is assumed due to ancient pre biblical belief.}

    29 And also Isaiah predicted, “If the LORD of hosts had not left us descendants, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” {Awaiting resurrection into GWT judgment/full discernment ‘day’ surely the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection of Mt.25:46.}

     30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who didn’t pursue righteousness, have attained it! That is, a righteousness that is by faith. 31 But Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness missed the mark in reaching that goal.

     32 Why? Because they didn’t pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on {their own} works {effort, earning}. They have stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble. {Life is a Gift.} 33 Even as it’s written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock that offends. And whoever believes in him will not be confounded, blamed nor shamed.”

            🌙 Matthew 13:31-43

31 - Jesus told another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed we plant in a garden. 32 It’s the smallest of seeds, but when it grows, it’s larger than all the other plants. So much so, that birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

     33 And he told yet another parable. “The kingdom is like leaven a woman works into three measures of flour, until - all/the whole is leavened.” {13:33 with 1Corinthians 15:22-28, key word 3. Three Loaves! Three Harvests!! Barley/Christ; the wheat; aNd a grape harvest, Rev.21:5 “pas” means “all” not “all things”. Compare (1Cor.15) 27 to 28! Same word seven times, pas/all, so why only five rendered the inferior “all things”? Disbelief of the genuine message? And also because of ancient spiritual propaganda?}

     34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables. He didn’t tell them anything about the kingdom, except by parables. 35 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, “I will open my mouth in parables.” {Riddles! Things hidden in plain sight!} “I’ll utter what’s been hidden since the beginning/founding of the world.”

     36 When he left the crowds and went into the house, his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 So He told them, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world. {The field is the world.} The good seed is the sons and daughters of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons and daughters (still) of the evil one” {this world, under sway of the evil intentioned one}. 39 And the enemy who sowed is the devil.” [Speiró - sow, scatter.]

     “The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned in a fire, so will it be at the end of the age.” {Judgment ‘Day’ is not until much later, Rev.20. There are three mentions of “lake of fire”. Each one is at a huge, fiery and earthly event. Things are being let to run their full course.}

     41 “And the Son of Man will send his angels, and they’ll gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all practicing of lawlessness. 42 They will be thrown into the fiery furnace.” {That fiery furnace, I am convinced is Rev.16:14-15-16, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4, especially considering context.} “There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

 • Romans 7:11-8:2  John 5:18-29

            ☀️ Romans 7:11-8:2

11 - For sin [greek hamartia - missing the mark] {imperfection} seizing opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. 12 The law however, is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.

      13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin {hamartia - imperfection} producing death - in me - through what is good. This is so sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become known as sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. 15 For I don’t understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. {Like when a person tries to diet?} 16 Now if I do what I don’t want, I am still agreeing with the law, that it’s good. 17 So now it’s no longer I, but the sin {hamartia - missing the mark/imperfection} that dwells in me. {As God iS life and “is perfect” so imperfect is the opposite of Life. But creation as an Ant Farm is no paradise/perfection, so this ‘quick’ one&done, this unavoidable contrast let to run its course. The dis-ease as part of the cure, and immunity.} 18 For I know that good itself {perfection} does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful {in my imperfect} nature. For my spirit is willing, but the doing of the good escapes me. 20 Now if I do what I don’t want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin{/imperfection} that dwells in me. {Like if I lose my temper.. be impatient when patience is called for.. etc, etc.}

     21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God! Especially in my most inner being. 23 Yet I see in me another law waging war against me, making me a captive to the law of imperfection that dwells in me. {Imperfect cannot make itself perfect, what with being imperfect!} 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?!

     25 Thanks be to God! Through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh - mortal nature - I’m under the law of sin {imperfection}. {And imperfect is this slow gehenna crucible, entropy - which does not quit, cannot reverse. So the remedy was built in.. One strong enough to convince every psyche and appease every conscience. John 5:22 says “God judges no one” so he is not an angry God demanding a blood appeasement. His wrath being cause and effect and consequences. We can know that, by the Revelation bowls - final effects of mankind’s doings - for they are called his wrath, and they're quite obviously modern warfare results.}

    8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation [katakrima - condemnation, judgment] for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For “the law of the Spirit of life” has set us free, in Christ Jesus, from the law of sin and death. {The Law of Life in Jesus ..and Jesus in us.. leading.. trumps the law of imperfection and entropy which is (unavoidably) death. God “cAn destroy both body and soul/psyche in {this slow} gehenna” fiery crucible. But! The remedy is built in and “nothing is impossible with God” Lk.1:37.

            🌙 John 5:18-29

18 - This was why the leaders of the nation were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he loosening the Sabbath {theiR rules for Sabbath} but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

     19 So Jesus told them, “Truly, the Son can do nothing from his own will. But only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, is what the Son does as well. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all which - he himself - is doing. And greater works than these will he show him. And so you will wonder.

     21 For as the Father raises the dead” {“raises “the” dead, not raises their dead bodies, but literally them} “and gives them life.” {A retuRn to being alive and aware, from a state of not being alive/aware}.

     “So also, the Son gives life {and awareness} to whom he will. 22 For the Father doesn’t judge anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son. 23 So that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, I tell you, whoever hears my word {logos - message, reasoning expressed in words} and believes he who sent me, has enduring life. They do not come into judgment, but have passed over [metabainó - from meta - after or beyond, and baino - to go, to walk — (have) transitioned] from death to life.” {Jesus is the logos/message/reasoning/truth -> personified.}

     25 “Truly, I tell you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.” {Including here and now. For until “Christ in us” we are reckoned as dead.} 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man” {became in a body like man, suffered, was raised as having an incorruptible, non entropic, and perfect body. Surely was saying something by eating with his disciples after he was raised. We do not yet know what manner/substance.. A higher body but still a literal and real body and being. Not only winds. “We shall be like him”.}

     28 “Don’t marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are - in the tombs - will hear his voice 29 and will come out” {of the tombs/graves, out of the dust, the lower part of the earth} “those who have done good to the resurrection of life” {at his return/appearing, and into his long second advent ..as helpers serving, called reigning, full scope version of his so brief first advent?} “and those who have done evil [phaulos - evil, wicked, worthless, bad, base] into the resurrection of judgment.” {INTO the GWT (great white throne) JUDGMENT/discernment/proof/closure for all ‘Day’ of “aionion kolasis”/eonian korrection (Mt.25:46) (an) aion/eon/aGe of correction? SEE the Fall holy days of Lev.23) upon/during the “8th day” the “last Great Day” (millennium). Rev.20 is like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between.} - Jn.12:32, 7:37, Lev.23:36; The DOA for the initially doa.

☀️ 1 - In those days came John the Baptist. He was preaching [he’s the “one crying out”] in the wilderness of Judea [Isaiah 40:3] saying, 2 “Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the LORD! Make his highway {in us} straight.’” {The message/word is not hidden, not secret.}

     4 Now John wore a garment of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and he lived on locusts and wild honey. 5 Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan were going out to him 6 to be baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins [hamartia - missing the mark, from hamartanō to miss the mark]. {Imperfection which is entropy because God is Life and “is Perfect”. The slow gehenna that cannot be put out, worm that doesn’t quit.}

     7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned YOU to flee from the wrath to come?! 8 Bear fruit in keeping with repentance! 9 And don’t presume! Don’t say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father!’ For I tell you, God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones in the river! 10 Even now the axe is laid against the root of the trees! Every tree therefore that doesn’t bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire! {This is, for some reason, thought to be a reference to ‘hell’ - that spiritual propaganda myth - is that where we pile dead trees and limbs? Into an eternal pit of neverending fire? I think it would be a bonfire.. This slow burn/gehenna flaring up.. Nothing to take lightly! Surely the ‘bonfire’ which (fiery) John the Baptist prophesied, occurred in 70 CE..? ..Prophecy is fulfilled in ‘micro’ and macro versions.. In ‘smaller’ scope, to full scope at the consummation of history and of mankind’s empires. It’s bad empires competing.. warring.. but far worse if they unite into one POWER. js. Two things going on - actually three, three gatherings. One, of all authority, two, to armageddon the siren call is division.. can contribute from afar as the chain reaction is global, Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4. And number three, to the door in the ten bridesmaid’s parable which goes into “the” millennium” (Mt.25:1-13, Rev.7:9,4). Into serving, called reigning during Jesus’ long second advent, a full scope version of his first so brief one, which the second includes GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘day’. What I mean is, in the parable, the (still) tares are gathered to a bonfire.. the wheat into the barn/kingdom to serve. Rev.16:14-15-16, Mt.25:1-13!}

☀️ (Mark’s account of the same events, likely by interview, said to be the first gospel written. But these verses are part of a disputed ending.)

     12 - After these things Jesus appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest what had happened, but they didn’t believe it.

     14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven as they were at table, and told them their unbelief was due to having stony hearts, as they hadn’t believed those who saw him after he had risen.

     15 And he said, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel [euaggelion - good news or tidings] to the whole creation. 16 The one believing and baptized, sozo [meaning, I heal, preserve, rescue] but the disbelieving [apisteó - disbelieving, unfaithful, doubting] is {still} under penalty {cause and effect, entropy. Not yet pardoned, the record expunged.}

     17 And these signs will accompany those who believe, in my name they will cast out demons, will speak in new tongues {have a new message? A new word..} 18 and if they pick up serpents or drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

     {This will certainly be true during the Lord’s long second advent? Consisting of 3 parts? — (1)“the” millennium, yes? A Sabbath millennium, (2)then, the releasing of the adversary/first gone rogue one (& company) and his gathering of descendants of mortal survivors of the apocalypse, to war. They surround the millennial Jerusalem - which is not yet the “New Jerusalem” - and then is his fiery, final defeat. And third, (3)the GWT judgment ‘day’. A ‘day’ of total review, and surely(?) closure for all.

     Jesus’ first brief advent perfectly fulfilled the - Spring - holy days of Leviticus 23 (as if they are prophecy, or an outline). Therefor I think, logically, the Fall holy days prophecy his long second advent. See the names and pattern. 🤓And because of the pattern, I think the release of the adversary, the gathering and the war, takes 500 years. And is the first half of an eighth millennium. And GWT judgment ‘day’ is the 2nd half. Because Revelation 20 is told like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between, this “8th day” and “last great day” seems to be hidden? Lev.23(36) and Jn.7:37 -> CU/Christian Universalism. See pinned images on my fb page.}

☀️ 1 - Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I don’t want you to be uninformed. {After scolding on important matters, he still of course addresses them as brothers and sisters in the Lord. Corinth was a huge metropolis and was very pagan in its attitudes and practices.} 2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols and followed however you were led. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in, and by, the Holy Spirit.

     4 Now there’s a variety of gifts, but it’s the same Spirit {of God, his Presence with us}. 5 And there are varieties of service, but it’s the same Lord {leading, enabling, doing the work}. 6 And there are varieties of activities, but it’s the same God who empowers all in everyone. {“All - pas” - Ultimately all gifts in all believers? During the Lord’s long second advent, for no one is ‘perfect’/perfected until “putting on perfection” (and thus immortality) at the wheat harvest of humanity (Mt.13:33, key word 3) (also 1Cor.15:22-28, 52-55; Mt.13:30b, a is Rev.16:14-15-16 and b is Mt.25:1-13 to serve called reigning during long 2nd advent, full scope version of his 1st so brief one (surely?) ..consider the trauma of all those who rise “into the aionion-kolasis” / eonian-korrection / age of correction — outlined in Lev.23, the wheel within a wheel (outline within the “8 days”/millennia outline/framework which is ‘the week plus one’). The 2nd resurrection is “into” the GWT judgment/review/closure for all (surely?) ‘Day’, which is the last quarter of the long second advent of TWO millennia.}

     7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. {“Aionion-kolasis” / eonian correction has been translated into “forever punishment” (Mt.25:46).  “God is Love” all genuine affection - that’s him. Christ Crucified appeases the delicate human conscience and psyche, not his anger/wrath, Ro.11:32, which wrath is (surely?) usually cause and effect. Cause and effect universe versus Ant Farm? Not an issue of what God hAs created, but what he iS creating. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings (both anthropos and angelos) aNd keep paradise/perfection intact? One more thing! As Life, the force, source, and breath of Life, he suffers all that eveR occurs. And endowed thinking ability anyway.}

☀️ 9 - You do realize unrighteousness and injustice cannot be inheriting the kingdom of God? Don’t be misled, anyone being sexually immoral, or an idolater, adulterer, practicing homosexual, 10 nor thieves, greedy, nor drunkards, nor agitators, or swindlers are (yet) inheriting (by no means) the kingdom of God! {It’s just not possible, same for backbiters, argumentative, slandering God, polluting God’s human temples with bad doctrine/unTruth. But God LOVES “all”. ..It’s possible He could be a bit angry and indignant at cruel and heartless despots.. child traffickers, what so many just don’t get - either the Greek or the Old Testament Hebrew word for anger means “smoke out the nostril”😮 - until theY judge theirself.. Can we imagine, eventually, during GWT judgment ‘day’ [aion] the gut wrenching remorse? ..The beating theirself up “with many stripes” for the many lives (and psyches) they brought much suffering to. A child trafficker for the basest carnal purposes!! Of course that’s progress after the initial, inner, outside of the Light darkness.. the gnashing of teeth ..Surely there will be closure for victims.. And closure for all things “on that day”! And finally, even the worst of the worst realize Christ Crucified! Their weeping can end, their guilty conscience appeased, and at rest. {Um, more weeping, I’m sure but not the gnashing of teeth weeping, but the cleansing of the heart weeping, which will let in fresh streams of life and rays of light. We’re all going to enter the household/family of God. He “is Perfect” how could we ever doubt? We can trust him, and take the upper road of his instructions.}

     11 And such (continues Paul) were some of us! But we were washed [apoloúō - from apó - away from, and loúō - wash, so wash away, this strengthened form of loúō (to wash) refers to an entire washing]. You were sanctified [hagiazó - to make holy, consecrate, sanctify]. You were justified [dikaioó - to show to be righteous, declare righteous {maKe righteous by his Spirit/Presence. HE does it}]. All in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and BY the Spirit of our God.

     12 As they say, “all things are lawful for me” but not all things are helpful! All things are lawful for me {like wine.. “God made wine to make merry the heart of man” Ps.103, but “strong drink bites like a serpent” Prov.23:32, or meat eating as it affected fellow believers, Ro.14}.

     But I (Paul) will not be dominated by anything! 13 “Food is meant for the belly and the belly for food”. And God will do away with? dial back? both. {A reference to entropy? The entropic nature of both food and belly? As there’s fruit on the Revelation 21 “new earth”. And Isaiah 11:7 mentions “the lion will eat straw like the ox, and the bear will graze with the cow”.}

     The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the LORD, and the LORD for the body. {Like food for the belly! And the belly for food! 1Cor.3:16, Dn.12:12.}
