Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

Pharaoh exemplifies those God hardens as defined in Romans 9:18. The “division” of Luke 12:51 is exemplified by human beings God makes merciful pursuant to God’s will being divided from human beings God hardens to remove them from God’s process pursuant to God’s will.   

Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

English “hath he mercy” emboldened in Romans 9:18 was mistranslated from Greek verb 1653 eleeo subjectively meaning to make merciful. Grammatical objects of God will be made merciful during this earth age. God’s “seven thousand” “election” will superimpose God’s mercy by performing the action of Greek verb 1653 eleeo during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.  The “thousand years” “Lord’s day” in which “God our Saviour” “will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.

English “he hardeneth” emboldened in Romans 9:18 was translated from Greek verb 4645 skleruno. Grammatical subjects perform a verb’s action. Grammatical objects receive the action performed. In that context Greek verb 4645 skleruno subjectively means to harden and objectively means to be hardened. Greek verb 4645 skleruno was translated into “harden” in Hebrews 4:7. If you want to know God’s definition of Greek verb 4645 skleruno you should study all the words in every verse containing Greek words 4641-4645.

English “I will have compassion” emboldened in Romans 9:15 were mistranslated from Greek verb 3627 oiktiro subjectively meaning to make compassionate. Grammatical objects of God will be made compassionate during this earth age. God’s “seven thousand” “election” will superimpose God’s compassion by performing the action of Greek verb 3627 oiktiro during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

English “that sheweth mercy” emboldened in Romans 9:16 was mistranslated from Greek verb 1653 eleeo subjectively meaning to make merciful. Grammatical objects of God will be made merciful during this earth age. God’s “seven thousand” “election” will superimpose God’s mercy by performing the action of Greek verb 1653 eleeo during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.   

Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

English “I will have mercy” emboldened in Romans 9:15 were mistranslated from Greek verb 1653 eleeo which subjectively means to make merciful. Grammatical objects of God are made merciful during this earth age. Greek verb 1653 eleeo was reasonably translated into “obtained mercy” in Romans 11:30 and “may obtain mercy” in Romans 11:31 and was mistranslated into “he might have mercy upon” in Romans 11:32. God’s definition of Greek verb 1653 eleeo will be  enhanced by understanding  context of Greek neuter noun 1656 eleos which was translated into English noun “mercy” in Romans 9:23 to follow and Romans 11:26-32 “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” “ For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes” “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief” “Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy” “For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all”. English “he might have mercy upon” emboldened in Romans 11:32 was mistranslated from Greek verb 1653 eleeo. English “all” emboldened in Romans 11:32 describes and qualifies everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” identified in Romans 9:11 and Romans 11:4-7 & 28 “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” “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work” “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”. “Israel” is among “the rest” of Romans 11:7 who were blinded and comprise the “all” of Romans 11:32 being everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” identified in Romans 9:11, Romans 11:4-7 and Romans 11:28. English “gifts” in Romans 11:29 was mistranslated from Greek noun 5486 charisma which is the permanent endowment of God’s spirit unto God’s “seven thousand” “election” during this earth age. English “without repentance” in Romans 11:28 was translated from Greek adjective 278 ametameletos which describes and qualifies the fact that God will never change his mind regarding God’s permanent endowment of God’s spirit unto “seven thousand” “election”. Once God declares His “election” ametameletos God will drag them back to God’s spiritual truth the moment their mind strays.

This seems to be the right time to reiterate the fact that Hebrew and Greek are inflected languages defined as a verb in a dictionary as “to change the form of a word, e.g. to show a change in tense, mood, gender, or number, or be changed in this way”. Inflected [as an adjective] describes inflected languages simply as “changeable”. The English phrase “that’s Greek to me” comes from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar as an idiom meaning  something is difficult to understand due to its complexity. The English word face can be used as a feminine noun or masculine noun or verb or adjective and my dictionary lists 42 different definitions for face. Hebrew and Greek feminine and masculine nouns have nothing to do with gender but masculine usually refers to the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action and feminine refers to the grammatical object receiving the action performed. Greek words ekloge eklectos and eklegomai are a noun, adjective and verb. The noun and adjective are predicates of the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action and grammatical object receiving the action performed. Romans11:4-7 documents that God has reserved “seven thousand” “election” to Himself by leaving them to Himself and removing “the rest” from His process. God’s “seven thousand” “election” include bible  “elect” “vessels of mercy” “disciples” “apostles” “saints” “firstfruits” of Romans 8:23 1Corinthians 15:23 and James 1:18 “servants” of John 18:36 Acts 2:18 Romans 6:22 Ephesians 6:6  1Peter 2:16 Revelation 1:1  Revelation  7:3 and Revelation 22:6 “many brethren” of Romans 8:29 “firstborn” of Hebrews 12:18-23 “sons of God” of Romans 8:14-23 Philippians 2:13-15 1John 3:1-2 and “elect” “priesthood” of 1Peter 2:4-9 who “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.   

Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

English “unrighteousness” in Romans 9:14 was translated from Greek noun 93 adikia being anyone or anything that is not right per God’s definition of right. The world’s 4,351 religious doctrines that are not consistent with God’s definition of right are not right and are subsequently irrelevant. Greek noun 93 adikia is from a compound of Greek negative particle 1 a synonymous with English un or not and Greek feminine noun 1349 dike being right per God’s definition. I loathe the ambiguous English word righteousness because it always seems to be self righteousness while God’s definition of right is unambiguous and unequivocal.  

English “God forbid” in Romans 9:14 was mistranslated from Greek qualified negative particle 3361 me which was 486 times translated into “not” and Greek verb 1096 ginomai subjectively meaning to cause to be. God’s grammatical objects are caused to come into being during this earth age. The crux of Romans 9:14 is that God does not cause anything that is not right [per God’s definition of right] to come into being during this earth age.

The last four verses in the bible warn us of the consequences “If any man shall add unto” or “if any man shall take away from the words of the book” and 2Timothy 2:15 demands that we “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. There are three basic ways “man shall add unto” or “man shall take away from the words of the book”:

1. Etymology of English words change over time as exemplified by English “detest” as it relates to Greek 3404 miseo and Latin detestari literally meaning to de-testify throughout the bible as well as English “volume” as it relates Greek 2777 kephalis and Latin volumen in Hebrews 10:7.
2. Greek and Hebrew words are inadvertently mistranslated by flesh translators as is the case with English “life” in Luke 14:26 and Genesis 9:4 as relates to Greek 5590 psuche and Hebrew H5315 nephesh. Greek 5590 psuche was 58 times correctly translated into English “soul”. Hebrew H5315 nephesh was 475 times correctly translated into English “soul”. Genesis 9:4 is fully defined in other posts but God’s definition will be superimposed prior to Romans 9:14.
3. Greek and Hebrew words are intentionally mistranslated by flesh translators or interpreters when the Greek and Hebrew words diminish religion’s authority, as is the case with Greek neuter noun 3957 pascha meaning Passover which was intentionally mistranslated into English “Easter” in Acts 12:4. Greek adjective 3956 pas meaning all was intentionally mistranslated into English pronoun “whosoever” in John 3:16. The noun Greek adjective 3956 pas describes in John 3:16 is “world”. Correctly translated John 3:16 says For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that all believeth into him, not perish but have everlasting life. Which is consistent with God’s will defined in John 1:9 Romans 14:11-12  Acts 2:17  Acts 24:15  Luke 3:6  2Peter 3:9  Ephesians 1:10 Romans 8:21 Romans 11:32  1Timothy 4:10 and 1Timothy 2:3-4 as well as John 3:15-16 and 1Timothy 6:13 when properly translated. Genesis 9:4 “But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat”.

Fifteen English words in Genesis 9:4 were translated from the five Hebrew words אַךְ־בָּשָׂר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ דָמוֹ לֹא which were transliterated into the seven words ak bāśār nep̄hešh dām ‘āḵal lō’ āḵal and God’s most succinct English translation of those words possible is: But flesh thoughts with blood and a soul shall ye not consume. 

English “with the life thereof” emboldened in Genesis 9:4 was mistranslated from Hebrew feminine noun H5315 nephesh which was 475 times correctly translated into English “soul”.

English “shall ye” “eat” emboldened in Genesis 9:4 were mistranslated from Hebrew verbs H398 aḵal meaning to consume. When we follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15 edict to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” by studying every verse containing each Hebrew Old Testament or Greek New Testament word as the  grammatical object of God as our one and only grammatical subject; God will define each word for us and provide context as is the case with Hebrew verb H398 aḵal which was translated into English “consume” in Ezekiel 21:28 “And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering”. The Spirit of God then correlates Ezekiel 21:28 to Genesis 9:4 and God will then correlate Genesis 9:4 to Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”  then correlate Ezekiel 21:28 to Ephesians 6:17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” and Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”.

We recently posted Romans 7:14 but we need to reexamine Paul’s words “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin” in the context of this paragraph. English “know” emboldened in Romans 7:14 was translated from Greek verb 1492 eido meaning for a grammatical object to see through the eyes and to know through the thoughts of their grammatical subject. English “spiritual” emboldened in Romans 7:14 was correctly translated from Greek adjective 4152 pneumatikos from Greek noun 4151 pneuma meaning spirit. English “carnal” emboldened in Romans 7:14 was technically mistranslated from Greek adjective 4559 sarkikos from Greek noun 4561 sarx meaning flesh. Greek adjective 4559 sarkikos technically means fleshly which describes and qualifies everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election”. This is important because the Israelites received God’s spiritual law through Moses’ flesh eyes and thoughts. Jesus repeatedly referred to the Old Testament “law” as “the law of Moses”. Jesus made this even more clear when Jesus in John 4:23-24 said “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” and Jesus in John 6:63 said “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. There was a flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and the Israelites. There is a spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/constitution/law between God and the “seven thousand” “election” who will superimpose their own covenant with God unto Israel as confirmed in Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah” “Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord” “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people” “And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more” as God reiterated in Romans 11:26-32  “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” “For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes” “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief” “Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy” “For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all”. English “gifts” and “without repentance” emboldened in Romans 11:29 were translated from Greek noun 5486 charisma and Greek adjective 278 ametamelētos respectively. Greek noun 5486 charisma is the permanent endowment of God’s spirit and Greek adjective 278 ametamelētos reaffirms that God will not change his mind once he permanently endows his spirit.

Romans 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

This verse refers to Esau as the elder and Jacob as the younger.

Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

English “hated” in Romans 9:13 was mistranslated from Greek verb 3404 miseo meaning to detest. The modern definition of the English verb to detest is to hate. The etymology of English detest is from Latin detestari literally meaning to de-testify. Greek verb 3404 miseo was also mistranslated into English “hate” in Luke 14:26 and everyone should instinctively know that Jesus did not say the criteria to be his learner was to hate one’s father and mother and every other human being we have ever known including our own soul but Luke 14:26 indeed says we must de-testify the flesh thoughts and feelings of all human beings including our own soul in order to be a learner of Jesus Christ. God implanted a thought in me that I will superimpose now. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”. The entities named in Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 are all in fact the flesh thoughts and feelings of human beings beginning with Eve who was the first “tree of knowledge of good and evil” who superimposed her thoughts unto Adam. God will prove these assertions in future posts. Please see How God And The Bible Work post.

English “without partiality” emboldened in James 3:17 was mistranslated from Greek adjective 87 adiakritos which appears only in James 3:17. Greek adjective 87 adiakritos is from a compound of Greek negative particle 1 a synonymous with English not and Greek preposition 1223 dia denoting the channel of an act and Greek verb 2919 krino meaning to judge. God’s definition of Greek adjective 87 adiakritos describes God’s grammatical objects whose thoughts are not through means of judgment.

English “without hypocrisy” emboldened in James 3:17 was mistranslated from Greek adjective 505 anypokritos which was 4 times mistranslated into English “unfeigned” 1 time into “without dissimulation” and 1 time into “without hypocrisy”. Greek adjective 505 anypokritos is from a compound of Greek negative particle 1 a synonymous with English not and Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case as a grammatical object is under their grammatical subject and Greek verb 2919 krino meaning to judge. God’s definition of Greek adjective 505 anupokritos describes God’s grammatical objects whose thoughts are not under judgment.

English “righteousness” emboldened in James 3:18 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1343 dikaiosune from a compound of Greek adjective 1342 dikaios describing and qualifying God’s definition of right and Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union. If you are the grammatical object of one of the world’s 4,351 religions you will be in union with one of 4,351 religion’s definition of right. If God is your only grammatical subject you will be in union with God’s definition of right. I do not wish to tell you my thoughts.  I do not wish to be your grammatical subject. I am showing you the process to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” whereby you can be God’s direct grammatical object and God’s spirit can be your direct grammatical subject.

English “good” emboldened in James 3:17 was translated from Greek adjective 18 agathos describing God alone. Matthew 19:17 Mark 10:18 and Luke 18:19 all confirm there is none good/agathos but one, that is, God. It is possible to be full of good/agathos fruits only when God is your one spiritual grammatical subject. When I was a child I sat in a Sunday school class and thought, what I am being taught is not right. When I was young I sat in a church pew and thought, what I am being taught is not right. What is not right is the flesh thoughts and feelings of human beings and seminary schools who have mistranslated, misinterpreted and mis-taught God’s spiritual truth.

English “from above” emboldened in James 3:15 and James 3:17 were correctly translated from Greek adverb 509 anothen. I bring this to your attention because Greek adverb 3825 palin is one of the few bible words that was correctly translated every time it appears in the bible. The good news is that Greek adverb 3825 palin was correctly translated 142 times into English “again”. The bad news is that Greek adverb 3825 palin appears nowhere in the third chapter of John. English “again” in John 3:3 and 3:7 were grossly mistranslated from Greek adverb 509 anothen and anyone who follows God’s instructions of “rightly dividing the word of truth” of 2Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” by uncovering the flesh thoughts and feelings of all the world’s 4,351 religions that cover God’s spiritual truth. Human beings are not born again by their faith in any of the world’s 4,351 religions. Human beings are born “from above” by God’s faith in them during this earth age pursuant to God’s will which is adequately defined in English in Joel 2:28 John 1:9 Romans 14:11-12 Acts 2:17 Acts 24:15 Luke 3:6  2Peter 3:9  Ephesians 1:10 Romans 8:21 Romans 11:32  1Timothy 4:10 and 1Timothy 2:3-4.
