Romans 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
English “An instructor” was translated from Greek masculine noun 3810 paideutes being a grammatical subject who trains their grammatical object as their own child. If the trainer is flesh their child will be flesh. If the trainer is Spirit their child will be Spirit.
Romans 11:4-5 “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace”. There is a three step process whereby God reserves “seven thousand” “election” to Himself. Step 1: God proves them wrong. Step 2: God’s “election” must consider the possibility that what they have been taught by flesh grammatical subjects is wrong. Step 3: God trains them as God’s own child. Revelation 3:19 “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent”. English “rebuke” was translated from Greek verb 1651 elegcho meaning to prove wrong. English “chasten” was translated from Greek verb 3811 paideuo which is the verb form of Greek masculine noun 3810 paideutes in Romans 2:20. God performs the action of Greek verbs 1651 elegcho and 3811 paideuo which appear as English “thou art rebuked” in Hebrews 12:5 and “he chasteneth” in Hebrews 12:6 and document aforementioned Step 1 and Step 3; my role in this process is to cause you to consider the possibility that what you have been taught by flesh grammatical subjects is wrong. 2020 world population is 7.8 billion or 7,800,000,000 so if we subtract 7,000 “election” “chosen” by God “the rest” consists of 7,799,993,000 human beings “blinded” and are the “cloud of witnesses” in Hebrews 12:1. God will define or has defined every Greek word in the twelfth chapter of Hebrews for God’s “seven thousand” “election”. Please read Hebrews 12:1-13 and see where God leads you. It might be helpful to study Greek words 3807-3814.
English “a teacher” was translated from Greek masculine noun 1320 didaskalos which was 40 times translated into English “Master” in the affirmative referring to Jesus but also in the negative “teachers” in “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears” and neutral “masters” in “My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation” and “The disciple is not above his Master but every one that is perfect shall be as his master”. With “perfect” being translated from Greek verb 2675 katartizo which was translated into “be perfectly joined together” in “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment”. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 2675 katartizo and only God’s “seven thousand” “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” receive the action of Greek verb 2675 katartizo. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are humbled by not knowing if they fulfilled “the first commandment” Jesus defined in Matthew 22:37-38 and Mark 12:28-32 until they take their last flesh breath. God’s “first commandment” Jesus defined in Matthew 22:37-38 and Mark 12:28-32 is more fully explored in Romans 2:18 post.
