08/19 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - Beloved, don’t believe every spirit (every wind of doctrine) but test the spirits to see if they are from God, for many false prophets [pseudo-prophétés - one who in God's name teaches what is not true] have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God - every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ comes [erchomai - to come or go; which translators have translated here as “having come”] in the flesh is from God. 3 And every spirit (teaching) that does not confess Jesus {as having literally come “in the flesh”} is not from God. This is the spirit of antichrist which you heard was coming [erchomai - to come or go] and already is in the world. {I don’t know the greek tenses.. But, if the difference then - his coming understood as literal or not literal was a dividing line, why not the same with his second coming - parousia - presence, coming, arrival, advent? Not that all, today, who listen to the ‘his coming/return is physically unseen’ are antiChrist and are unbelievers at heart, but the teaching may turn out to be?}

GospeL Verses ~ Mark 8:1-10

1 - Again, in those days, when a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said, 2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them away hungry to their homes, they may faint on the way. And some of them have come pretty far.” 4 And his disciples asked, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” 5 And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” 6 And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And giving thanks, he broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples to pass out to the people. 7 They also had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said to hand these out also. 8 Everyone ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. 9 And there were about four thousand people. And then he sent them away, 10 and got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
