 • Romans 15:1-7  Matthew 16:13-20

           ☀️ Romans 15:1-7

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 errors 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 Translation Errors ~~ Added to God’s riddles/hiding things in plain sight, has made things difficult. 

     ~~ Changed “all” whenever possible, to “all things” yes, in Rev.21:5. Also Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, and more. In 1Cor.15:27, five times! And so repeating what 5 times? But not in verse 28, because “that God be all things in all things” just doesn’t quite get it.. Nor in 2Tim.3:16, for example “all scripture for training”.

     ~~ Often rendered not into never

and aion/eon into forever. And aionion/eonian as eternal instead of “of an age” and pertaining to an age or space of time.

     ~~ Translating hamartia - missing the mark,

as “sin” (trespass) misses the mark a little, as hamartia means - missing the mark. (Imperfect ..Whereas, God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, a conundrum for imperfect/missing the mark. “The wage/effect/result of missing the mark” is..? But no option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm? So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. Being Life God suffers everything.) 

     ~~ 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 (actually huGe) fiery events. Not very understandable in 95 CE or thereabouts, Is.24:20/Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev7:15-17)

            🌙 Matthew 16:13-20

13 - As they were coming into the district of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 And they answered, “Some say you’re John the Baptist, others say Elijah, or Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 And he said, “But who do you say I am?” 16 Peter answered, “You are the Christ!” {Christos - Anointed One, Messiah} “Son of the living God!” {Only straight out from the Father, so close both admininister His Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}

     17 “You are blessed, Simon (Peter) Bar-Jonah/Son of Jonah” Jesus said. “For no one has told you this. My Father in heaven has shown it to you. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock” {belief, knowing, Peter means rock} “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will noT prevail against it.” {Likely was speaking Aramaic, so gates of sheol “where there is no doing or knowing” (awareness) Eccles.9:5,10. “Oh death, where is thy sting!?” 1Cor.15:55}

      19 “I will give to you {disciples/followers following} the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind upon earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in heaven.” {The mature state, when God’s Spirit/Presence flows cleanly through us without our various impediments, of corners and shadows? Thus flows fully outward with healing, repairing, able to make whole, according to God’s blueprint. That God is Life and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) means nothing imperfect can endure.} 20 Then he strictly charged them to tell no one that he was the Christ.

 • Romans 8:3-10  John 5:30-47

            ☀️ Romans 8:3-10

3 - For God has done what the law, made weak by the human condition {“missing the mark”/imperfect nature} couldn’t do.

     He did it by sending his own Son {only straight out from God one} in the likeness of the human condition, to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to carnality {the self first and foremost nature} but walk according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the selfish nature, set their minds on the things of self gratification, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on merely gratifying the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set upon the flesh and selfish nature is hostile to God, for it doesn’t submit to God's law. Indeed, it cannot. 8 So those who dwell therein cannot please God. {“The flesh” doesn’t mean the body, which after all God designed. Matter is not the problem, imperfection is the problem.. It’s both entropy, and an abyss of potential, that concludes in death/passing away.}

     9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit oF God (His Spirit/Presence) dwells in you.

     Anyone who doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, doesn’t belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead {entropic/dying} - because of sin, the Spirit is life - because of righteousness.

            🌙 John 5:30-47

(Jesus continues to leaders of the nation, and the people around them.) 30 - “I can do nothing on my own. And what I hear, is how I judge, and my judgment is just, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of he who sent me.

     31 If only I bear witness about myself, my testimony isn’t trustworthy. 32 But there’s another who bears witness about me, and I know his testimony is true.

     33 You sent for John. And he bore witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony I receive is from man, but I say these things so you may be saved. {From death and its cause.} 35 He was a shining and burning lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in its light.

     36 But the testimony I have is greater than that of John. For the works the Father has given me to do, the very works I’m doing, bear witness, that the Father has sent me.

     37 And the Father who sent me has himself bore witness. But his voice you haven’t heard, nor have you seen him. 38 And you don’t have his word/truth abiding in you, for you don’t believe the one he has sent to you. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think in them you have enduring life. And it’s the scriptures that bear witness of me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me. 41 For my honor isn’t of man. {Not of mankind’s systems of professionals, titles, honors, esteem and awards.}

     42 I know you don’t have the love of God in you. 43 For I’ve come in my Father's name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in their own name, you receive them. 44 How can you believe, when you receive recognition from one another, and don’t seek the recognition that comes from the only God? 45 Don’t think I’ll accuse you to the Father. There’s one who accuses you. Moses! The one on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me. For he wrote of me. 47 But if you don’t believe his words, how will you believe mine?”

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

☀️ 30 - (A little later, in Emmaus) when they had sat down for supper, he took bread, blessed it and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened! And they recognized him, and then he vanished from their sight.

     32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road! And when he explained to us the Scriptures?” 33 And they rose that very hour and returned to Jerusalem to find the eleven and those who were with them. 34 And when they found them, they were greeted with, “The Lord has risen! And Simon Peter saw him!” 35 And then they told them what had happened on the road to Emmaus, and how they saw who he was in the breaking of the bread.

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

   🕊️reading & study 🕊️

8 - The Scriptures long ago told how God would accept the nations because of their faith. This is why God told Abraham - the good news - that in him, all nations would be blessed. 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with, and like, Abraham. He is called the man of faith.

     10 The thing is, anyone relying on fulfilling of the law, to be accepted, are under a curse! For it’s written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t abide by, and do - all - that’s written in the Book of the Law.” {God iS life, and “is perfect” mt.5:48, so to stray in any tiny way in thought, word or deed is to become imperfect! Life as we presently know it is unavoidable, because no option to stray in Eden, would be creation as an Ant Farm. This imperfection/entropy is an all important contrast.}

     11 It’s proven no one is justified - before God - by the law. For it’s written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12 And the law is not of faith, rather it’s a way, as it’s written, that “The one who does the law, shall live by all the law.” 13 And Christ redeemed and rescued/delivered us from that curse {and captivity} by becoming a curse for us. For it’s written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree” — 14 so that to the nations the blessing of Abraham comes in Jesus Christ, so the promise of the Spirit is received through believing/faith.

     {🗝️? The only way to BE “perfect” is by God’s Spirit/Presence fully reigning upon the Throne of our Heart. We are the temple meant for God’s Spirit/Presence, as is creation itself. He is Life. There is no other “way”.}

     15 To give an example - even with a man-made covenant/contract, no one annuls it, or adds to it, once it’s been ratified. [And “faith” preceded The Law. Abraham was before Moses.]

(Jesus continues to leaders of the nation.) 30 - “I can do nothing on my own. But what I hear, is how I judge, and my judgment is just, because I don’t seek my will, but the will of he who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony isn’t true. 32 There’s another who bears witness about me, and I know his testimony about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so you may be saved. 35 He was a shining and burning lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works the Father has given me to do, the very works I’m doing, bear witness about me, that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you’ve not heard, his form you’ve not seen, 38 and you don’t have his word/truth abiding in you, for you don’t believe the one he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think in them you have enduring life. And it’s the scriptures that bear witness of me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I don’t receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you don’t have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Don’t think I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you. Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. 47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

      Paul’s Letter to the Romans

1 - (From) Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the message of God, 2 which he promised long ago through his prophets, in the holy scriptures, 3 namely his Son {the message, the promise}. He was descended from David according to the earthly (as written) 4 and was declared - in power - to be the Son of God. For it was demonstrated through the Spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead. 5 It is through him, Jesus Christ, our Lord, that we have received grace and this apostleship [apostolé - to be sent] . And this in order to bring about faith and the fruit of obedience to it, for the sake of his name, and his cause among all nations. 6 This includes all of you, who are called [klétos - called, invited] to belong to Jesus Christ. {During this brief lifetime.}

     7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints (believers) - Grace to you! And peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 - I’m on my way to visit you for the third time. And as the Scriptures say, “Any charges must be proved true by at least two or three witnesses.” 2 During my second visit I gave warning, as also now while absent, and as I will when I come again. 3 It should prove to you that I am speaking for Christ, for when he corrects he won't be weak. He will be powerful! 4 Yes he was weak when he was nailed to the cross, but he now lives by the power of God. We are weak, just as Christ was. But you will see that we shall live by the power of God, as Christ does. 5 Test yourselves and find out if you really are true to your faith! If you pass the test, you’ll discover that Christ is living in you. But if Christ isn't living in you, you will fail. 6 I hope you will discover we have not failed. 7 So we pray to God that you may not do wrong, not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to be unapproved. 8 For we have no power against the truth, but only for the truth. 9 For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. Your restoration is what we pray for.

(Where Did Paul Get His Message?)

(After being beaten, flogged and jailed in Philippi) 1 - They passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, and came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue, 2 so Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned from the Scriptures [how Jesus fulfilled the suffering messiah prophecies, and Isaiah 53:4 - “Surely He has borne our infirmities..”] 3 explaining and proving that it was predicted the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead [Ps.16:10] and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you is the Christ” [Christos - Christ, anointed one, messiah, from the Greek verb χρίω-chrio - to anoint]. 4 And some who were there were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did many of the devout Greeks and quite a few of the leading women. 5 But the leaders were jealous, so they sought out some men from the market square. And persuaded them to form a mob and a rabble, and set the city in uproar. {Hired agitators.} They attacked the house of Jason, 6 and forced him and some of the brothers out into the crowd, and then dragged them before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here, 7 and Jason has received them! And they’re all acting against the decrees of Caesar! Saying there’s another king, Jesus!” 8 And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard this. 9 So they took money as security from Jason and the rest, and then they let them go.

     10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the synagogue. 11 Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, and received the word/message with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if all were so. [Paul, previously Saul, had been a Pharisee, and was raised and educated in the scriptures.] 12 Many of them believed, with quite a few Greek women of high standing as well as men. 13 But when the synagogue leaders from Thessalonica learned that the message of God was proclaimed by Paul at Berea, they came there and agitated and stirred up the crowds there as well. 14 Then the brothers immediately sent Paul off by way of the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea for a while.

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 21:33-46

33 - “Listen to another parable,” Jesus said. “There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it and he dug a winepress, and built a tower and then he leased it to tenants, and traveled to another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his workers to the tenants to get the fruit. 35 But the tenants took his workers and they beat one, stoned one, and killed another. 36 A little later, he sent other workers, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son thinking, ‘Surely they’ll respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, “He will put them to a miserable death and let the vineyard out to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their season.”

     42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures - ‘The stone the builders rejected is the cornerstone. This is the LORD’s doing, and it is a wonder to our eyes’? 43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken, and when it falls on someone, they will be as winnowed.”

     45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 But although they were looking for a way to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because the people held him as a prophet.

15 - Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal it to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained. 17 Friends, be a fellow imitator (of the Lord) with me, and observe those who walk according to this example. 18 For many, which I have told you of and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 They will inherit ruin, their god is emptiness, and they are proud of their shameful deeds, ever mindful of everything worldly. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all [“pas” - all, the all] to himself.
