   HALLOWED means venerated: honor as holy, ‘it’s the word Jesus used when teaching how to pray.’ God is holy, alive and ‘His church is a holy living organism’ ‘not an organization.’ (Webster’s dictionary identifies an Organism as a living thing:) God’s church is a living organism, ‘alive through His indwelling spirit in His called people, making each one spiritually  born anew.’ To believe in requires God’s calling. Dr. Luke quoted Paul teaching as much to gentiles after the Jews rejected out of jealously.

  (See Acts 13:47-52; For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed you to be a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” When the Gentiles heard this, they began to rejoice and praise the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed for eternal life believed. So the word of the Lord was spreading through the entire region. But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high social standing and the prominent men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their region. So after they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them, they went to Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.) (Our Lord’s brother ‘James’ explains how faith and works are together.)

  (James 2:19-26; You believe that God is one; well and good. Even the demons believe that – and tremble with fear. But would you like evidence, you empty fellow, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Now Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And similarly, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another way? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.)

   God’s church foundation is built on the whole word of God; Old Testament written in Hebrew and the New in Greek, writers are all called by God to write what He said and revealed. God used a particular chosen people of Hebrew/Jew/Israel heritage, Prophets, Apostles and Jesus the Cornerstone. (Eph 2:11-22; Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh – who are called “uncircumcision” by the so-called “circumcision” that is performed on the body by human hands – that you were at that time without the Messiah, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 

  For He is our peace, the One who made both groups into one and who destroyed the middle wall of partition, the hostility, when He nullified in His flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of two, thus making peace, and to reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which the hostility has been killed. And He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, so that through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you (gentiles) are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the Saints and members of God’s household, because you have been built on the foundation of (Israel’s) apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the Cornerstone. In Him the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.) (This is how and why we can pray, God make each subscriber His Temple of His Spirit.)

   Organizations of men can’t possibly become a church of God. When Jesus called and built a gentile congregation through His apostles they knew from where His descent was from. They knew they were being called to become spiritual Israelites. All brought near by the blood of Christ.

  Each taught that the weekly seventh day was the Sabbath and it looked to Jesus’ millennial rule on earth. That set aside times are perpetual for Israel and all God’s set aside peoole. So, what’s a believers’ relationship to God’s other 10 commandments? (So to the gentile Romans Paul explained how the Testator (Jesus’) death made His new covenant a reality. He being the one who gave and Israel agreed to the old covenant, His death released them from the old and His resurrected gave all who believed in Him a new covenant, not destroying the law but spiritually magnifying it.

   (Romans 7:1-6; Or do you not know, brothers and sisters, (for I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage. So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress. So, my brothers and sisters you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the One who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires aroused by the law were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. But now we ‘Believers IN Jesus’ have been released from the law, because we have ‘spiritually’ died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.”) (Likewise, the covenant Testator ‘Jesus’ died to free we Believers IN Him from the penalty of our having broke the law, which was eternal death. So Jesus explained more in the Hebrews text.

    (Hebrews 9:15-27; And so, He (the resurrected Jesus) is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance He has promised, since He died to set them free from the violations committed under the first covenant. For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven. For a will takes effect only at death, since it carries no force while the one who made it is alive. So even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood. For when Moses had spoken every command to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.” And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood. Indeed, according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. So, it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required better sacrifices than these. For ‘our Creator’ Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation of the true sanctuary – but into heaven itself, and He appears now in God’s presence for us. (As Mediator) And He did not enter to offer Himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own, for then He ‘Jesus’ would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by His sacrifice. And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await Him He will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation.”)

   The Holy Spirit of truth when imputed to the mind produces a genuine love for God’s spiritual intent of the law. (The law isn’t done away but fulfilled by Jesus’ sacrificing His life blood for the remission of sins previously committed. (Let’s review.) Jesus’ fulfillment is a spiritual magnification of the law. Example; (Matt 5:27-28; “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.) With Jesus’ principle regarding adultery in mind, think about how He’d magnify the other commandments: for example, (‘you shall not murder.’ To hate someone to the degree of wishing him dead is committing murder spiritually.) Followers of Jesus can apply the same principle to each commandment.

   Jesus had His apostles share His deity with Israel at John 1:1-5, Col 1:15-20 and Hebrews 1. A study of these scriptures prove Jesus was with His Father from the beginning and He was the spokesman saying, ‘let us create man in our image and likeness.’ It was Jesus who met and gave Moses the commandments for His chosen people’s good. By Jesus’ command John wrote by gifted revelation.

   (John 1:10-18; He was in the world, and the world was created by Him, but the world did not recognize Him. He came to what was His own, but His own people did not receive him. But to all who have received Him – those who believe in His name – he has given the right to become God’s children – children not born by human parents or by human desire or a husband’s decision, but by God. 

   Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw His glory – the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father. John testified about him and shouted out, “This one was the one about whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is greater than I am, because He existed before me.’” 

  For we have all received from His fullness one gracious gift after another. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only one, Himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.) (With these things in mind, how could a person think Jesus authorized changes other than what was prophesied regarding His new covenant magnifying the law through love. The new covenant is with people supernaturally born anew, making them spiritual Israelites and obeying out of a love of God.)

    So, followers of Jesus must understand, they are spiritual Israelites. (Rom 3:1-6; Therefore, what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision? Actually there are many advantages. First of all the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God? Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: “so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged.” But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? (I am speaking in human terms.) Absolutely not! For otherwise how could God judge the world?) (This is why Jews/Israelites are persecuted by hostiles to the God of Moses and Jesus.)

   People believing in THE JESUS revealed to Moses, ‘That One likened to Moses who’d come, must be obeyed.’ Called out Believers in that Jesus don’t look to denominations of choice fitting one’s imagination, but Jesus Himself. Jesus gave Moses His spiritual calendar for His people, Israel. They and called believers celebrate the DAY OF TRUMPETS on Tiahreli 1, as commanded. Jesus revealed the following to Moses. 

    This is what the Lord God Jesus spoke to Moses, the One who wrote the law on tablets of stone. (Deut 18:18-33; I will raise up a prophet like you for them from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in His mouth and He will speak to them whatever I command. I will personally hold responsible anyone who then pays no attention to the words that prophet speaks in My name. “But if any prophet presumes to speak anything in My name that I have not authorized him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. Now if you say to yourselves, ‘How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?’ – whenever a prophet speaks in My name and the prediction is not fulfilled, then I have not spoken it; the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.”) (Jesus revealed more to Moses, ‘study the whole’, and He has much more to say through other prophets.)

   (Isa 48:17-22; This is what the LORD, your protector, says, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you how to succeed, who leads you in the way you should go. If only you had obeyed my commandments, prosperity would have flowed to you like a river, deliverance would have come to you like the waves of the sea. Your descendants would have been as numerous as sand, and your children like its granules. Their name would not have been cut off and eliminated from my presence. 

   Leave Babylon! Flee from the Babylonians! Announce it with a shout of joy! Make this known! Proclaim it throughout the earth! Say, ‘The LORD protects his servant Jacob (Israel.) They do not thirst as He leads them through dry regions; He makes water flow out of a rock for them; He splits open a rock and water flows out.’ There will be no prosperity for the wicked,” says the LORD.) (Review Jesus revealing Himself through the scriptures referred to above, plus His pre-planning His generation at Matt 1:17.

Jesus had Paul tell of the self-called and theology schooled teachers.

   (Rom 3:9-20; What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin, just as it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one, there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, together they have become worthless; there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.” “Their throats are open graves, they deceive with their tongues, the poison of asps is under their lips.” “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” “Their feet are swift to shed blood,  ruin and misery are in their paths, and the way of peace they have not known.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For no one is declared righteous before Him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.) (Each of the above quotes are from ‘Old testament’ prophets.)

    (Rom 3:21-31; But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (although it is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed – namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But they are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God publicly displayed Him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because God in His forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed. This was also to demonstrate His righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness. Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded! By what principle? Of works? No, but by the principle of faith! For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law. Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is He not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too! Since God is one, He will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead we uphold the law.) (Here is the new covenant defined for believers in Jesus.)

     As commanded the apostles prioritized going to Israel’s lost, ‘dispursed’ tribes of Israel first. (Acts 13:43-52; When the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and were persuading them to continue in the grace of God. On the next Sabbath almost the whole city assembled together to hear the word of the Lord. But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they began to contradict what Paul was saying by reviling him. Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously, “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles. For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed you to be a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” When the Gentiles heard this, they began to rejoice and praise the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed for eternal life believed. So the word of the Lord was spreading through the entire region. But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high social standing and the prominent men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their region. So after they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them, they went to Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.)

    It’s the mystery to those who aren’t called, ‘people appointed to believe. 

  To 39,837 subscribers we pray God is making Temples of His Spirit. 9/26/22. God’s 7^th month, Tushery 1, 5,783.

   Our Creator is a precise planner, Jesus’ return is pre-planned, except, “for the Elect’s sake time will be shortened.” (See Matt 24:22) He sustains this whole universe. (See Col 1:15-20) (Matt 1:17; So, all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to Christ, is fourteen generations.) (There’s much more we’ll consider a couple.)

   Moses was 40 when he thought to deliver Israel, after defending a wronged Israelite he fled to Egypt, after 40 years in training Jesus delivered Israel through Moses at the pre-planned date of “His 1^st Month; Nisan & the 14 day.” After 40 years of preparation to enter the promised lands Jesus took Moses, and commissioned Joshua to lead Israel, and on “Nisan 14, Jesus led them across the Jordan river through Joshua.

   Israel’s keeping the 7^th day Sabbath, 3 holy seasons, 7 annual Sabbaths, plus their experience with Moses, David and prophets had them expecting their Moses like Messiah. FIRST, An angel appeared to Zachariah who was serving as priest and told him of John’s birth, when his wife Elizabeth was six months into her pregnancy, an angel appeared to Mary.

  (Luke 1:26-56; In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!”  But she was greatly troubled by his words and began to wonder about the meaning of this greeting. So the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God! - Listen: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.” Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I have not been intimate with a man?” The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God. “And look, your relative Elizabeth has also become pregnant with a son in her old age – although she was called barren, she is now in her sixth month! For nothing will be impossible with God.” So Mary said, “Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. 

   In those days Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah, and entered Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child in your womb! And who am I that the mother of my Lord should come and visit me? For the instant the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled.” – And Mary said, “My soul exalts the Lord,  and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior, because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant. For from now on all generations will call me blessed, because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name; from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him. He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts. He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; he has filled the hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her home.)

    God’s use of numbering is obvious, the number seven is for completion. Jesus taught ‘three and one half years before ascending back to His and our Father’s throne to be the believers Mediator.’ Another ‘three and one half years, is pre-planned through His two witnesses.’ (See last study about His two witnesses.)

    A thousand years is as a day to the Lord. (2Peter 3:3-13; Know and understand this: In the last days blatant scoffers will come, being propelled by their own evil urges and saying, “Where is his promised return? For ever since our ancestors died, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water. Through these things the world existing at that time was destroyed when it was deluged with water. But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, by being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. 

  Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, that a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

   (Apparently a prophecy for those living during the Millennian for after that time.) But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; when it comes, the heavens will disappear with a horrific noise, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze, and the earth and every deed done on it will be laid bare. Since all these things are to melt away in this manner, what sort of people must we be, conducting our lives in holiness and godliness, while waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God? Because of this day, the heavens will be burned up and dissolve, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze! But, according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness truly resides. 

  To:39,806 subscribers we pray God is making Temples of His spirit. 9/25/22, God’s 6th month, Elul 29, 5,782. (Day 1 until sunset)

   The Lord God Jesus gave Moses weekly & annual Sabbaths for His chosen’s good, keeping them separate from the Babylon system & idol worship. Christendom led by Catholic and Protestant entities still look to old Babylon customs more than to God’s set aside times. Today at sunset observe God’s New Moon, it begins His 4^th annual Sabbath, ‘Trumpets’ (Tishriel 1, 5,783 on Israel’s calendar) and God’s 7^th month. (See Lev 23: for Jesus’ calendar for His chosen people through Moses.) God had Israel blow trumpets to celebrate new beginnings etc. (Numbers 2:1; On the first day of the seventh month, you are to hold a holy assembly. You must not do your ordinary work, for it is a day of blowing Trumpets for you.) ((Read about the blowing of trumpets at Revelations 8:-10: regarding coming plagues) (Rev 9:20-21; The rest of humanity, who had not been killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so that they did not stop worshiping demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood – idols that cannot see or hear or walk about.  Furthermore, they did not repent of their murders, of their magic spells, of their sexual immorality, or of their stealing.) Unless God chooses to cut time short for the Elect’s sake, many plagues are coming.

  Before the seventh trumpet, two witnesses will give out Jesus’ gospel to the world. Rev 11:3-14; And I will grant My two witnesses authority to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.” (These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and completely consumes their enemies. If anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way. These two have the power to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the time they are prophesying. They have power to turn the waters to blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague whenever they want. When they have completed their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will make war on them, conquer and kill them. Their corpses will lie in the street of the great city that is symbolically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also crucified. For three and a half days those from every people, tribe, nation, and language will look at their corpses, because they will not permit them to be placed in a tomb. And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate, even sending gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth. But after three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and tremendous fear seized those who were watching them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” So the two prophets went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies stared at them. Just then a major earthquake took place and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe has come and gone; the third is coming quickly.)

 The Seventh Trumpet: Rev 11:15-19; Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.” Then the twenty-four elders who are seated on their thrones before God threw themselves down with their faces to the ground and worshiped God with these words: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the All-Powerful, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun to reign. The nations were enraged, but your wrath has come, and the time has come for the dead to be judged, and the time has come to give to your servants, the prophets, their reward, as well as to the Saints and to those who revere your name, both small and great, and the time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth.” Then the temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was visible within His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, roaring, crashes of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.) ((Rev 12:1-6; seems to be dual prophecy. “Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was screaming in labor pains, struggling to give birth.)) (Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns. Now the dragon’s tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.) So the woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is going to rule over all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was suddenly caught up to God and to His throne, and she (the woman-church) fled into the wilderness where a place had been prepared for her by God, so she could be taken care of for 1,260 days.)

    Remember too, when Jesus died the earthly temple was split in two and there was an earthquake. (Matt 27:50-54; Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit. Just then the temple curtain was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks were split apart. And tombs were opened, and the bodies of many Saints who had died were raised. (They came out of the tombs after His resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.) Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, “Truly this one was God’s Son!”)

So that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.) ANOTHER DUAL PROPHECY: Rev 12:10-18’ Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the ruling authority of His Christ, have now come, because the accuser of our brothers and sisters, the one who accuses them day and night before our God, has been thrown down. But they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them! But woe to the earth and the sea because the devil has come down to you! He is filled with terrible anger because he knows that he only has a little time!” Now when the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman (church) who had given birth to the male child. But the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, to the place God prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. Then the serpent spouted water like a river out of his mouth after the woman in an attempt to sweep her away by a flood, but the earth came to her rescue; the ground opened up and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth. So the dragon became enraged at the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children, those who keep God’s commandments and hold to the testimony about Jesus. And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.))     

 Babylon represents this world’s system of things in prophecy. God had Jeremiah tell it’s demise, always study the whole. (Jer 51:60-64; Jeremiah recorded on one scroll all the judgments that would come upon Babylon – all these prophecies written about Babylon.) Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, make sure you read aloud all these prophecies. Then say, ‘O LORD, you have announced that you will destroy this place so that no people or animals live in it any longer. Certainly it will lie desolate forever!’ When you finish reading this scroll aloud, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates River. Then say, ‘In the same way Babylon will sink and never rise again because of the disaster I am ready to bring upon her; they will grow faint.’” The prophecies of Jeremiah end here.)  

   Jesus and His apostles wrote to God’s called, but the god of this world influences populations to unnatural arousals of the flesh, love of money, power, animalistic behavior, and abort babies. Christendom don’t take strong stances as you’d think, even Rome’s Pope is silent while nations laws support such.

   Next week will begin God’s 7^th month, His third holy season, ‘Feast of Tabernacles.’ (Monday begins ‘Trishrel’ the 1^st day and  Trumpets ‘Rosh Hashana.’ The day looks to Jesus’ return, the first resurrection, His bringing peace and righteous government.) (Atonement, ‘Yom Kippur,’ is 10 Tishrel, Oct 5) looks to Jesus’ followers being made One with Him, in His spiritual likeness, we’ll see Him as He is.) (Feast of Tabernacles ‘Sukkot’ means ‘temporary dwelling,’ 15^th Tishrel, Oct 11, reminding us that our tabernacle, ‘skin’ is our temporary dwelling and a permanent spiritual tabernacle is our eternal reality.) (Great Day ‘Shmini Atzeret,’ 22^nd Tishrel, Oct 17^th looks to final judgment. See Revelations 21:8.)

  God’s church isn’t an organization that can be joined, it’s the family of God ‘fathered individuals,’ chosen, called and set aside ‘sanctified’ for His purpose. Jesus explained; (John 10:14-18; “I am the good shepherd. I, know my own and my own know Me – just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father – and I lay down My life for the sheep. I, have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to My voice, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd. This is, why the Father loves Me – because I lay down My life, so that I may take it back again. No one takes it away from Me, but I lay it down of My own free will. I, have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from My Father.”) MATTHEW WRITES THE SAME. (Matt 7:21-23; “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven – only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. On that day, many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons and do many powerful deeds?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from Me, you lawbreakers!”) ((Many other text teach us, ‘only the fathered by God, those born from above, are God’s family, His church.’))

   (Philippians 1:1-2; “From Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the Saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and deacons. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!”) ((Jesus’ New Covenant,-‘New Testament,’ is promises to His Saints. It isn’t with unbelievers nor divided Christendom. A better title for one who pastors is, “Overseer.” No pastor or evangelist should ever wear the title, “reverend” Jesus instructed us to call no person reverend. It’s worth noting too that no apostle ever included the Holy Spirit or Spirit of Truth, with God the Father and God the Son in their letters to God’s churches. Timothy was called servant and was made an understudy to Paul. Paul taught and considered Timothy as his own son.))

  (Phil 1:3-6; “I thank my God every time I remember you ‘Philippians.” I always pray with joy in my every prayer for all of you, because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am sure of this very thing, that the One who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”) ((Each apostle taught “God the Father personally begins and perfects His good work in each called Believer. Each taught “unbelievers are rebels to the cause of Jesus.” King David was inspired to rationalize with and prophesy against unbelievers, folks we’d refer to as Christendom today.))

  (Psalms 2:1-12; “Why do the nations rebel? Why are the countries devising plots that will fail? The kings of the earth form a united front; the rulers collaborate against the Lord and His anointed king. They say, “Let’s tear off the shackles they’ve put on us! Let’s free ourselves from their ropes!” The One enthroned in heaven laughs in disgust; the Lord taunts them. Then He angrily speaks to them and terrifies them in His rage, saying, “I Myself have installed My king on Zion, My holy hill.” The king says, “I will announce the Lord’s decree. He said to Me: ‘You are My Son! This very day I have become Your father! Ask Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, the ends of the earth as Your personal property.” You will break them with an iron scepter; You will smash them like a potter’s jar!’” So now, you ‘earthly’ kings, do what is wise; you rulers of the earth, submit to correction! Serve the Lord in fear! Repent in terror! Give sincere homage! Otherwise, He will be angry, and you will die because of your behavior, when His anger quickly ignites. How blessed are all who take shelter in Him!”) ((The good news “gospel” each prophet and Jesus’ apostles taught was about eternal life through Jesus’ keeping promises to Israel, bringing peace and righteous judgment to this earth.))

   (Phil 1:7-11; “For it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, since, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you became partners in God’s grace together with me. For God is my witness that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insight so that you can decide what is best and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.”) ((Jesus’ command to His apostles and followers is: “love one another, just as I have loved you.” Each Christian’s goal should be to increase in knowledge and every kind of spiritual insight, so, as to stand blameless in the day of Christ.)) ((We must understand God’s definition of sin. Through His revealing Himself, granting repentance, “forgiveness” and our turning from former practices of sin, then we’ll be considered blameless on that day.))

  (Phil 1:12-14; “I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel: The whole imperial guard and everyone else knows that I am in prison for the sake of Christ, and most of the brothers and sisters, having confidence in the Lord because of my imprisonment, now more than ever dare to speak the Word fearlessly.”) ((Divided Christendom don’t do this, Satan has them thinking “your truth is how you believe.” If we belong to Jesus as Paul, “we know things Satan may have intended to deceive, God can turn to a furtherance of the gospel. Believing in Jesus as He’s manifested to be in the holy scriptures, “was then and today a radical idea. Believing IN Jesus frees individuals from ‘people groups’ that make merchandise of others. Think of the persecution that would come our way; ‘if in large numbers people began leaving organized religions to follow God’s truths presented here.’ Paul was mindful of the nature in people that causes the many to desire leaders for wrong reasons. We need to go out from among such. Jesus had Paul explain to the Corinthians.))

   (2Cor 6:16-18; “And what mutual agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we ‘Christians’ are the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” Therefore “come out from their midst, and be separate,” says the Lord, “and touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters,” says the All-Powerful Lord.”)

(Phil 1:15-18; “Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. The latter do so from love because they know that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel. The former, proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, because they think they can cause trouble for me in my imprisonment. What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.”) ((Paul considered it good that people were talking about Jesus. He didn’t condone teaching an imaginary Jesus, but mindful that if God were calling, they’d seek His truth. Many twist this scripture to support what’s popular and traditional while ridiculing the notions of absolutes.))

  (Phil 1:19-26; “Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die. For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer: I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far, but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body. And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith, so that what you can be proud of my increase because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you.”) ((Paul was, “born from above” imputed with the spirit of truth “Holy Spirit” he had a new spiritual life and knew he was gifted with eternal life. His mindset was that he’d maintained hope in Christ to the end. Paul and all believers IN are gifted with immortality; know we’re not born immortal, that is ‘to live forever someplace.’ Because of Satan’s deception, various forms of a, “hell - heaven doctrine” has spread to all major religions. ‘Again see Revelations 21:8’ Paul knew he was gifted with immortality when he was “spiritually born from above.” Paul believed and taught the resurrections. Study 1Cor 15: for a refresher.

   Understanding who Jesus is as He inspired Paul to write at Col 1:15-20, Heb 1: John 1:1-4 and still think He’d authorize a Sabbath change is ludicrous. To know Jesus’ first miracle was to create aged wine from water and believe it a sin to partake of, is ludicrous.

   Paul’s love for newly converted gentiles is apparent, he pulled gentiles and Israelites together, “to be At-One with Jesus,” but when folks aren’t called and blessed with open minds, they selectively choose scriptural text that fits presupposed notions and what seems right to the fleshly mind. In my family is a preacher that’s anti-alcohol, I wouldn’t offer him drink because he’d likely be offended and correctly consider, “what’s not of faith is sin.” He and others seemingly don’t realize that followers of Jesus are heirs with Abraham and thus spiritual Israelites, so they have no problem eating unclean to Israel foods for the same reason and the same principle applies.

   Jesus compelled that we teach the whole word of God beginning with Genesis 1: being mindful of why Abel’s sacrifice was pleasing to God and Cain’s wasn’t. Knowing the Christian faith is based on Jesus’ prophets, apostles and He the Cornerstone, know Jesus inspired Enoch “the seventh from Adam” to preach a future peace on earth, and consider Job’s righteousness and Satan’s challenge to God regarding his character. Know why earth’s population “before the Noah day flood became animalistic in their behavior.” How God found Noah to be righteous in His view and had him warn the people by building an ark in preparation for the coming destructive flood. How and why the Lord God “Jesus” separated His chosen people from the world, “giving them set aside worship times that looked forward to a future peace on earth, circumcision and instructing about clean and unclean animal kinds; all for keeping them separated from the world and for their good.

  God gave His chosen people laws and oracles to “set them aside” rules setting them apart from the hostile to God populations. Sabbath, keeping, circumcision, observe, ‘particular seasons’ ‘annual Sabbaths’ and animal kinds not to partake of. These sanctifications and blessings for a chosen people caused jealousy, adding to the hostility people had toward God. Even today, Jews are a most hated people because God has made them “custodians of His oracles.” (See Romans 3:1-4) (God doesn’t change; the same laws and oracles regarding how a set aside people should honor Him with obedience is valid today.) The same clean and unclean animal kinds God had Noah preserve, He also had His chosen sanctify, so the Israelites adhere to God ordained principles.

(Lev11:1-11; The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, “Tell the Israelites: this is the kind of creature you may eat from among all the animals that are on the land. You may eat any among the animals that has a divided hoof (hooves completely split in two) and that also chews the cud. The camel is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided. The rock badger is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided. The hare is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided. The pig is unclean to you because its hoof is divided (the hoof is completely split in two) even though it does not chew the cud. You must not eat from their meat and you must not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.”  (These are not unclean to people NOT set aside for God’s purpose.) (Clean and Unclean Water Creatures) “‘These you can eat from all creatures that are in the water: Any creatures in the water that have both fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat. But any creatures that do not have both fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams, from all the swarming things of the water and from all the living creatures that are in the water, are detestable to you. Since they are detestable to you, you must not eat their meat and their carcass you must detest. Any creature in the water that does not have both fins and scales is detestable to you.”) (From God’s point of view, all this is for one reason only, “to keep His people separated and sanctified to Himself.)

One day the whole world will understand that Jesus is the One who Re-Created a chaotic earth that had been previously flooded, from a darkness, with water covering the deep. After creating vegetation and planting a garden, Jesus created Adam, then Eve for and from him. Jesus revealed it to His apostles. (Colossians 1:15-20; “He ‘Jesus’ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for all things in heaven and on earth were created by Him – all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers – all things were created through Him and for Him. He Himself is before all things and all things are held together ‘sustained’ in Him. He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that He Himself may become first in all things. For God ‘the Father’ was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in the Son and through Him ‘Jesus’ to reconcile all things to Himself by making peace through the blood of His cross – through Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.”) See also John 1:1-5 and Hebrews 1: After Jesus opened His apostles’ minds to under-stand the scriptures, “they were able to teach Jesus from having been with Him and from the prophets’ writings.

Paul’s Goal was to minister and encourage his associates. (Rom 16:1-16; “Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, so that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the Saints and provide her with whatever help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many, including me.” ‘The next 13 verses is praising those that assisted in the spread of the good news. For this study you mqy want to go to verse 17.

(Rom 16:17-27; “Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them! For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of the naive. Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. The God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”) (Naïve folks find smooth talkers appealing to their fleshly intellect and in general, look to people with theological credentials.) “Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my compatriots. I, Tertius, “Paul” who am writing this letter, greet you in the Lord. Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus the city treasurer and our brother Quartus greet you. “Now to Him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that had been kept secret for long ages, but now is disclosed, and through the prophetic scriptures has been made known to all the nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith – to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever! Amen.”) (God the Father, God the Son, all who have and who will believed IN are the family of God.)

Revelations of the mystery has, went forth to the nations ‘but the mystery is revealed to the few in this age.’ Paul uses the term, “revelations of the mystery twice” in verse 25 above and at Eph 3:3, so let’s study through verse 21. (Ephesians 3:1-21; “For this reason I, “Paul” the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles – if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you, “that by revelation the divine secret was made known to me, as I wrote before briefly. When reading this, you, (Believers IN) will be able to understand my insight into this secret of Christ. Now this secret was not disclosed to people in former generations as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, namely, that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus. I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the exercise of His power. To me – less than the least of all the Saints – this grace was given to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ and to enlighten everyone about God’s secret plan – a secret that has been hidden for ages in God who has created all things. The purpose of this enlightenment is that through the church the multifaceted wisdom of God should now be, disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms. This was according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confident access to God because of Christ’s faithfulness. For this reason, I ask you not to lose heart because of what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.”) (The secret is, “God gives Godly love to His Elect” a love surpassing natural human love. A gifted love through our, “being born from above.” Being fathered by God.) (14-21; “For this reason I, “Paul” kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on the earth is named. I pray that according to the wealth of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner person, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, so that, because you have been rooted and grounded in love, you may be able to comprehend with all the Saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and thus to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who by the power that is working within us is able to do far beyond all that we ask or think, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”) (Spiritual comprehension is by revelation only. No theological schooling can give it.)

   Paul writes to the called, of God, but the god of this world influences populations to unnatural arousals of the flesh, including love of money, power, and lustful animalistic behavior. So, let’s be patience with new converts, allow each to grow in the faith God wills. (Rom 13:8-16; Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet,” (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this because we know the hour for us to awake from sleep is now, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers. The night has advanced toward dawn; the day is near. So, then we must lay aside the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light. Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in discord and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to arouse its desires.) (Speaking of new converts Paul writes.

  ((Rom 14:1-4; Now receive the one who is weak in the faith and do not have disputes over differing opinions. One person believes in eating everything, but the weak person eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not despise the one who does not and the one who abstains must not judge the one who eats everything, for (if) God has accepted him. Who are you to pass judgment on another’s servant? Before his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.)) Again let us realize Paul is writing to gentile who’ve been converted to Believe IN Jesus, a people who have abandoned the things James and the apostles wrote them about. So, new and old converts need to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus’ revealed way. Remember James and God’s Jerusalem church wrote to converted gentiles some particular things they must avoid right away to be baptized, keeping times and food consumption was purposely left out of the letter.

((Rom 14:5-12; One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. Each must be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day does it for the Lord. The one who eats, eats for the Lord because he gives thanks to God, and the one who abstains from eating abstains for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself. If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For this reason, Christ died and returned to life, so that He may be the Lord of both the dead and the living. But you who eat vegetables only – why do you judge your brother or sister? And you who eat everything – why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will give praise to God.” Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.”)) From our fleshly nature we’re prone to be self-righteous about how we see things: but the spirit of truth leads believers to mimic Jesus’ thinking regarding all things. Paul is saying, don’t despise a Believer for being slow to conform.’ Self-righteousness can become an obstacle to At-Onement with Jesus.

(Rom 14:13-23; Therefore, we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister. I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean. For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died. Therefore, do not let what you consider good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people. So then, let us pursue what makes for peace and for building up one another. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. For although all things are clean, it is wrong to cause anyone to stumble by what you eat. It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything that causes your brother to stumble. The faith you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves. But the man who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and whatever is not from faith is sin.”)) So, the key is to quietly mimic Jesus, not boastfully vocalizing a self-righteous attitude that may make another feel you’re judging. Paul’s concern is for new converts. Think on the initial duty principles written to new gentile converts from the Jerusalem church. New converts were taught to consider the whole Word including Moses.

((Acts 15:19-22; Therefore I, (James) conclude that we should not cause extra difficulty for those among the Gentiles who are turning to God, but that we should write them a letter telling them to abstain from things defiled by idols and from sexual immorality and from what has been strangled and from blood. For Moses has had those who proclaim him in every town from ancient times, because he is read aloud in the synagogues every Sabbath.) Let’s be careful about taking things out of context and consider the whole word of God. Paul would write later, ((So then you, (gentiles) are no longer foreigners and non-citizens, but you are fellow citizens with the Saints and members of God’s household, because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the Cornerstone. In Him the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22.)) Strong looking out for the weak, is the principle of love.

((Rom 15:1-6; But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good to build him up. For even Christ did not please Himself, but just as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on Me.” For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope. Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you unity with one another in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.)) Note that Paul is directing gentiles to what’s written to Israel in former times. As Gentile converts grew in grace and knowledge, they’d soon realize they’re becoming spiritual Israelites. (A people coming out from among others practicing abominable things in God’s View.) Let’s be patient with one another, just as Jesus is patient with us individually. As an apostle of Jesus, it was incumbent on Paul to share Israel’s history with the gentiles. Teaching that, gentiles become heirs with Abraham, when they follow Jesus. No doubt: Paul shared about his being present when deacon Stephen was murdered, Israel’s historical record, and how they stoned him. Study Stephens attitude regarding his murderers, at Acts 7. To assume gentiles were taught a differing gospel, than proclaimed to Israelites is ludicrous. Gentiles growing out from the likes of Baal worship. How different that than Israel growing from thinking salvation came through law keeping. Both groups and all Believers IN, must grow in the grace and knowledge of God the Father and God the Son.  All saved by grace.

(Rom 15:7-16; Receive one another, then, just as Christ also received you, to God’s glory. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised, on behalf of God’s truth to confirm the promises made to the fathers, (patriarchs) and thus the Gentiles glorify God for His mercy. As it is written, “Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to Your name. (Quote from Ps 18:49) And again it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people. (Quote from Deut 32:43) And again, Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise Him. (Quote from Ps 117:1) And again Isaiah says, The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in Him will the Gentiles hope. (Quote from Isaiah 11:10) Now may the God of hope fill you (Gentiles’) with all joy and peace as you believe IN Him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.)) Root of Jesse is Jesus!

((Rom 15:14-16; “But I myself am fully convinced about you, (gentiles) my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another. But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I serve the gospel of God like a priest, so that the Gentiles may become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.)) Sanctify; means to be set apart. As gentile populations grew in grace and knowledge of the God of Israel, they realized they too were set apart from the populations once they were a part of. As gentiles grew they had no problems with the oracles of God. Obviously, Paul wanted gentiles and Israelites to grow into one holy temple of God.

(Rom 15:17-21; “So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God. For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in order to bring about the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person’s foundation, but as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand. (Quote from Isaiah 52:15)) At the time Paul didn’t know he would spend time incarcerated in Jerusalem and Caesarea before journeying to Rome. Paul intended to send disciples ahead and he intended this letter be shared with the other churches.

 We encourage followers of Jesus to keep the faith of Jesus, by honoring His set aside times. Keeping His set aside seasons helps keep His followers thinking spiritual rather than fleshly. His called know resting from normal activities and considering God’s Holy seasons are true freedoms from demonic deceptions.

   The weekly seventh day Sabbath looks to Jesus’ millennial rule on earth.

    First holy season, Passover observes Jesus’ death, why He died for our sins, the need to put what He considers sin away and plant seeds of righteousness.

   Second holy season, Pentecost ‘First Fruits’ looks to people being ‘spiritually ‘born anew’ made ‘At-One’ with God through Jesus, making each a literal child of God. Pentecost is the birth date of Jesus’ New Testament Church.

   Third holy season, ‘Feast of Tabernacles season’ has four of God’s seven annual Sabbaths in His seventh month.  Trumpets ‘Rosh Hashana’ is first day of (Tishrel, God’s 7^th month, Sept 26 this year) looks to Jesus’ return, the first resurrection, His bringing peace and righteous government.

   Atonement, ‘Yom Kippur’ (10 Tishrel, Oct 5) looks to Jesus’ followers being made One with Him and in His spiritual likeness, we’ll see Him as He is.

   Feast of Tabernacles ‘Sukkot’ ‘temporary dwelling’ (15^th Tishrel, Oct 11) reminds us that our skin is a temporary dwelling and a permanent spiritual tabernacle is our eternal reality.

   Last Great Day ‘Shmini Atzeret’ (22^nd Tishrel, Oct 17^th) looks to final judgment. See Revelations 21:8.

 These set aside times are perpetual for Israel and all God’s set aside peoole. So, what’s believers’ relationship to God’s other 10 commandments?

   (Romans 7:1-6; “Or do you not know, brothers and sisters, (for I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of the marriage. So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress. So, my brothers and sisters you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the One who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires aroused by the law were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. But now ‘that we’re converted’ we ‘Believers IN Jesus’ have been released from the law, because we have ‘spiritually’ died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.”) Likewise, the covenant Testator ‘Jesus’ died to free we Believers IN Him from the penalty of breaking the law, which is eternal death.

    (Hebrews 9:15-27; And so, He (the resurrected Jesus) is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance He has promised, since He died to set them free from the violations committed under the first covenant. For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven. For a will takes effect only at death, since it carries no force while the one who made it is alive. So even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood. For when Moses had spoken every command to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.” And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood. Indeed, according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. So, it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required better sacrifices than these. For ‘our Creator’ Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation of the true sanctuary – but into heaven itself, and He appears now in God’s presence for us. (As Mediator) And He did not enter to offer Himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own, for then He ‘Jesus’ would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by His sacrifice. And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await Him He will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation.”)

   The Holy Spirit of truth imputed to the mind produces a genuine love for God’s spiritual intent of the law. The old covenant law isn’t done away but fulfilled by Jesus’ sacrificing His life blood for the remission of sins previously committed. That fulfillment is a spiritual magnification of the law. Example; (Matt 5:27-28;  “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.) With Jesus’ principle regarding adultery in mind, think about the other commandments, for example; ‘you shall not murder.’ To hate someone to the degree of wishing him dead is committing murder spiritually. Followers of Jesus can apply the same principle to each commandment.

    Study Acts of the Apostles, chapter 7, to see Stephens overview of Israel’s history. Israel’s history is for our learning. It was God’s will that Jacob’s son (Joseph) go to Egypt, experience God’s grace after trials and become second ruler to Egypt’s Pharaoh. A devastating drought, God’s revealing dreams to Joseph, the necessity of Jacob’s family going to Egypt for food and relying on Joseph was preplanned. Pagan Egyptian’s disdain for God’s chosen people is recorded for our learning. God is still allowing the lying, murderous, deceiver “Satan” to influence this world’s ungodly populations’ & attitude against His chosen people, whether they be spiritual or physical Israelites, all for our learning. Israelites even persecuted and killed God’s prophets. Speaking to the Pharisees and Sadducees Jesus said:

    (Matt 23:29-36; “Woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have participated with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ By saying this you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up then the measure of your ancestors! You snakes, you offspring of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of Gehenna? “For this reason I am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. I tell you, the truth this generation will be held responsible for all these things!”) Paul shares, why Israel was rejected.

    (Romans 9:1-5; “I am telling the truth in Christ (I am not lying!), for my conscience assures me in the Holy Spirit – I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish myself were accursed – cut off from Christ – for the sake of my people, my fellow countrymen, who are Israelites. To them belong the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, by human descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen.”)

    God the Father gave us God His Son, our Creator and Lord of the covenants, planted Him in Mary’s womb to experience life in the flesh, be tempted, become our sacrificial Lamb, Redeemer, Resurrection, Savior, Mediator and coming King of Kings.

    (Rom 9:6-13; “It is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all those who are descended from Israel are truly Israel, nor are all the children Abraham’s true descendants; rather “through Isaac will your descendants be counted.”

    (Why? Isaac is by promise as are all true Israelites and Christians.) This means it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God; rather, the children of promise are counted as descendants. For this is what the promise declared: “About a year from now I will return and Sarah will have a son.” Not only that, but when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our ancestor Isaac – even before they were born or had done anything good or bad (so that God’s purpose in election would stand, not by works but by His calling it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger,” just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”)

     Its the mystery worldly religions don’t grasp. We followers of Jesus are called and saved by promise, as was Isaac’s birth by promise, as in Jacob, (Israel) was chosen. So, followers of Jesus are His and Abraham’s heirs. Believers IN are by promise as was Isaac and selected before the foundation of the world.

    (Rom 9:14-18; “What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not! For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then, it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy. For the scripture says to Pharaoh: “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may demonstrate My power in you, and that My name may be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then, God has mercy on whom He chooses to have mercy, and He hardens whom he chooses to harden.

   God’s laws, kind after kind, gravity and inertia are absolutes, as is “without the shedding of blood there’s no remission of sin.” That law was always planned, God made effective when Adam and Eve’s transgress. Cain and Abel knew to worship God with blood sacrifices, at designated times. (Gen 4:3-5; Abel took care of the flocks, while Cain cultivated the ground. At the designated time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground for an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought some of the firstborn of his flock – even the fattest of them. And the Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, but with Cain and his offering He was not pleased.) Even then, The Lord God Jesus designated a time for sacrificial worship, that looked forward to His own blood sacrifice as, the Lamb of God, shedding His blood for the remission of sin. The best of the flocks were particular animals without blemish. The likely time would’ve been a weekly or annual Sabbath. A Sabbath rest was instituted when God rested on the seventh day, looking forward to His planned millennial rest and peace on earth.

  ((Rom 7:7-12; What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, “Do not covet.” But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead. And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive, and I died. So, I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death! For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.)) — Some would agree with Jesus’ apostle Peter, regarding Paul’s letters being hard to understand and perhaps easy to twist. (See 2Peter 3-14-18, which reads in part, “just as also our dear brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, speaking of these things in all his letters. Some things in these letters are hard to understand, things the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures.” verses 15-17) As always study the whole.

We realize coveting the belongings of someone else is wrong when we recognize God’s gifted commandment are for our good. (If there were no law giving Creator God, each person would subscribe to and make their own self-serving rules without any regard for others, which is what unbelieving hostile toward God people do. Remember Paul was a strict Pharisee prior to Jesus’ calling. Hostile to Jesus’ teaching regarding loving God with our whole being and one another as ourselves, constituting the whole law of God. It took Jesus’ calling and gifting Paul with His spirit to make him a believer in Jesus’ spiritual magnification of His law. The Pharisee denomination believed in strict law keeping to, obtain salvation. They thought like ‘people were made for the law’ not aware of Jesus’ teaching, ‘the law is made for people, not people for the law.’ After conversion, Paul was led to understand the laws spiritual intent and began demonstrating his love for the law’s whole purpose. So, Paul asked himself about how this knowledge affected him. Now back to Romans 7:13-25; “Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual – but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin. For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want – instead, I do what I hate. But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good. But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me. For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want! Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.” (Paul is recognizing his inherited fleshly sin nature.)

So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God in my inner being. But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captives, to the law of sin that is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?” (Paul was rescued from himself, that is from the sin nature inherited from Adam that dominated him.) 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 I serve the law of sin.) Paul was spiritually, led to know his fight included overcoming that fleshly inherited from Adam nature and grow in the grace and knowledge of God.

Holy Spirit guides and  gives strength. ((Rom 8:1-4; There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. For God achieved what the law could not do because, it was weakened through the flesh. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.))– As long as we’re in this fleshly tabernacle we feel physical and mental hurts, but we know this fleshly life is temporary. We’re in this world but not of it because we now have a new outlook that’s spiritually shaped.

((Rom 8:5-11; For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit. For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace, because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, (Believers IN) however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to Him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of, (Jesus’) righteousness. Moreover, if the Spirit of the One, (God the Father) who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the One who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through His Spirit who lives in you.))– We’re converted – saved, when God gifts us with His spiritual desire to be At-One with Himself and God the Son!

((Rom 8:12-17; So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh (for if you live according to the flesh, you will die,) but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by who, we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit itself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children. And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God, and also fellow heirs with Christ – if indeed we suffer with Him so we may also be glorified with Him.)) — In a previous study we considered, “why Jesus’ apostles didn’t include the Holy Spirit in their salutations with God the Father and Jesus Christ.” No prophet nor apostle’s prayer ever included “in the name of the Holy Spirit.” God’s gifted, Holy Spirit is the Comforter or Spirit of Truth, & is gifts spiritual power He interacts with, teaches and convicts our minds with, to love as He loves and hate what He hates; in other words, “be At-One with Him.” God can make His spirit visible as on that Pentecost after Jesus’ ascension. God can speak through and reveal through His spirit. His mind opening spirit is gifted to those He calls to be Believers in Him, on a parallel with Abraham’s believing God.))– (Consider, (Galatians 3:26-29; For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through, (gifted) faith. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female – for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise.)

((Rom 8:18-25; For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the glory that will be revealed to us. For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of God who subjected it – in hope, that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now. Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the First-fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies. (Our resurrection.) For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen, (believed IN) is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.)) — All aging things are in a gradual state of decay. Redemption of our bodies looks forward to when there will be no more decay.

((Rom 8::26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. And it searches our hearts, knows, the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the Saints according to God’s will. And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose, because those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that His Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified.)) –God is all in all, does it all, is all knowing, He’s the beginning and ending of all things. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator. (See John 1:1-5, Col 1:15-20 and Hebrews 1:)– (Rom 8:31-39; What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Indeed, He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all – how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things? Who will bring any charge against God’s Elect? It is God who justifies. Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, He was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” (Quote from Psalms 44:22) No, in all these things we have complete victory through Him who loved us! For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.)) God’s Elect are alluded to at Isa. 50:8.

   Jesus is the first to have been born of water and spirit. So He was the only and first begotten Son at the time. ((John 3:4-8; Nicodemus said to Jesus, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time, can he?” Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must all be born from above.’ The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”)) (We only know we’re spirit begotten when Jesus’ truth is revealed, spiritual things come together when the Holy Scriptures are miraculously opened to our understanding. It’s like the wind blowing, in that we hardly know it’s happening.))     

   Since Adam the penalty for disobedience covers all procreated people. Spiritually begotten Jesus never sinned. ((Heb 4:14-16; Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.)) (We each need the spiritual help only God can gift.) ((Rom 5:12-17; So then, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam) and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned – for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type of the coming One transgressed. But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, (Adam) how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the One man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one (Adam’s) transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification. For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ!?))

All procreated people inherited Adam’s sin nature, it allows us do what seems right to our fleshly humanity, independent of God’s loving rule of law. The result of that lawless, (sin nature) is eternal death. (So, what needs to be repented of? What needs to be turned from?) That inherited nature!    Blood sacrifices from Adam’s time looked forward to Creator Jesus’ shed blood for the remission of sin. (Adam’s, Eve’s, Cain’s and all disobediences is recorded for our learning.) It’s recorded that righteous Abel’s blood still speaks to us because of his obedience. Think on that. Jesus knew hostile people’s rationale regarding obedience. To the hostile Israelites Jesus said; ((Matt 23:34-38; For this reason I am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. I tell you the truth, this generation will be held responsible for all these things! “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it! Look, your house is left to you desolate! For I tell you, you will not see Me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!’”)) Jesus had His apostle Paul add to this principle.

((Rom 5:18-21; Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam) many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man (Jesus) many will be made righteous. Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied, all the more, so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.)) The only route to eternal life is through Jesus. We’ll review Paul’s explanation to gentiles in Philippians and Ephesians.

So, to inherit God’s kingdom all must ultimately turn from Adam’s lawless nature. ((Rom 6:1-4; What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we, (Believers) have been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.)) Believing is demonstrating a discontinuance of willfully sinning and lovingly turning to God’s Way. Only possible by the supernatural imputation of God’s spirit of truth to our minds. Jesus refers to this miracle as, “being born anew or from above.” That doesn’t mean we’ll never sin again, it does mean we’ll not willingly practice what we understand is sin in God’s view, with the Holy Spirit’s help. That’s turning from behaviors Jesus disapproves of. Once born from above Jesus’ nature is applied-imputed we aren’t considered sinners in His view.

((Rom 6:5-14; For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of His resurrection. We know that our old man (nature) was crucified with Him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.) “Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.” We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over Him. For the death He died, He died to sin once for all, but the life He lives, He lives to God. So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign, (dominate) in your mortal body so that you obey its desires and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness. For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.)) (According to our English dictionary grace is; “the capacity to tolerate, accommodate, or forgive” but with God its more. Believers IN God are enslaved to God’s Righteousness. Thus, in each apostle’s salutation, they introduce themselves as slaves)

(Rom 6:15-23; What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not! Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness? But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to, and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness. So, what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end, (result) of those things is death. But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification and the end, (result) is eternal life. For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.)

So how is it that all major religions teach some form of Satan’s lie regarding immortality? He said; “Surely you’ll not die, for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like divine beings who know good and evil.” (Genesis 3:)
