We must not conflate the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law with the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law. Consider what Paul said in Romans 7:14 and 18: “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin”. “For I know that in me that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not”. The flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law defines the “first commandment” in Exodus 20:3 as: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” and in Deuteronomy 5:7 as: “Thou shalt have none other gods before me” both from the same three ancient Hebrew words אַחֵר אֱלֹהִים פָּנִים. Let’s compare Jesus’ definition of the “first commandment” in Matthew 22:36- 38 and Mark 12:28-34 under the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law. Anyone who studies Mark 12:28-34 will know that the scribe stood face to face with Jesus Christ when Jesus said: “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” which the scribe changed into “And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul”. English word “mind” was translated from Greek noun 1271 dianoia from a compound of dia denoting the channel of an act and noia being God’s spiritual thoughts. English “understanding” was translated from Greek noun 4907 sunesis being in union with the scribe’s understanding subsequent to his own flesh thoughts and feelings. When God’s “seven thousand” “election” study every verse containing each Hebrew or Greek word God defines each Hebrew or Greek word for them. Why would anyone in whom God’s Holy Spirit dwells need a flesh human being to translate or interpret God’s spiritual “word of truth”? “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”. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. It is human nature to seek things that benefit one’s self. Marketing is the accrual and publishing of all product features that exhibit generic benefits. Sales consists of knowing the needs and wants of the person making the buying decision to the extent that the seller can translate a generic product feature into a specific benefit to the human being making the buying decision. Jesus, the bread of life, fed five thousand human beings with five loaves and fed four thousand human beings with seven loaves. The vast majority of human beings are oblivious to what Jesus was teaching because they are looking for what’s in it for them. God’s “seven thousand” “election” see that twelve baskets full of fragments were retrieved from among the five thousand who were fed five loaves and seven baskets full of fragments were retrieved from among the four thousand who were fed seven loaves. Jesus said in Matthew 16:9-12: “Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up”? “Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up”? “How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees”? “Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees”. The “Pharisees and Sadducees” were the primary and secondary religions among the Jews when God walked the earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ. God’s “seven thousand” “election” know that Jesus was pointing out that the more people you allow between God and yourself the more fragmented is God’s word going to be. You should never allow a human being to come between you and God. God is seeking you to be God’s direct grammatical object.

Romans 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

English “reckoned” in Romans 4:10 was mistranslated from Greek verb 3049 logizomai subjectively meaning to instill words pursuant to the will and objective of the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action. Greek verb 3049 logizomai is a Greek transitive verb meaning “the Lord” who performed the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai in Romans 4:8 is extended to Romans 4:9 and 10. Since “the Lord” performed the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai in Romans 4:10, Greek verb 3049 logizomai means to instill God’s true words pursuant to the will and objective of “the Lord”. Abraham was the grammatical object who received the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai in that context meaning to receive God’s true words pursuant to the will and objective of “the Lord”. Semitic Hebrew and Greek are inflected languages while English is an analytic language meaning that English expresses grammatical relationships by means of function words while Semitic Hebrew and Greek words alter the form of a word as exemplified by Greek verb 3049 logizomai which changed the Greek masculine noun 3056 logos into the Greek verb 3049 logizomai by adding the Greek suffix mai.  In order to understand God’s definition of Greek verb 3049 logizomai it is necessary to understand God’s definition of Greek words 3049-3056. Now let’s put this in the context of Romans 4:10 where “when he was” was translated from Greek participle 5607 ōn most often translated into English present tense “being” but could reasonably be translated into past tense “was”.  English “when he” in  Romans 4:10 was added by a flesh translator/“scribe”  410 years ago because English analytic pronouns “she” “he” “her” “him” “they” “them” do not exist in the Greek language which understanding is predicated upon identifying the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action and the grammatical object receiving the action performed which applies to Greek verb 3049 logizomai and extends to Greek words 3049-3056 which gives context to the English phrase “that’s Greek to me”. I am not a language expert. I have no degree in either Hebrew or Greek languages.  I have studied every bible verse containing 5,624 Greek words and practically every verse containing 8,674 Hebrew words whereby God defined every Hebrew and Greek word for me. God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai during this earth age and superimpose God’s true words during the “last days” of this earth age as well as during the “thousand years” Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. Greek noun 1589 ekloge which was translated into English “chosen” in Acts 9:15 confirms that the Apostle Paul is among God’s “seven thousand” “election” “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. All of God’s “seven thousand” “election” are each God’s “chosen vessel” with “vessel” being translated from Greek noun 4632 skeuos which was translated into English “goods” in Matthew 12:25-32 and Mark 3:23-29 into “vessel” [s] in Luke 8:16-18 Romans 9:19-23   2Corinthians 4:1-7   1Thessalonians 4:4   2Timothy 2:15-21 and Revelation 2:26-28. I have superimposed God’s translation of most if not all of the Greek words in these verses in previous posts. 

English “righteousness” in Romans 4:9 was translated from Greek noun 1343 dikaiosune from a compound of Greek adjective 1342 dikaios describing and qualifying God’s definition of right and Greek suffix 4862 sun denoting union with God’s definition of right. We must always be cognizant of the fact that the bible tells us that Jesus came to divide “the rest” from God’s “seven thousand” “election” as biblically proved in previous posts. God’s word is designed to divide “the rest” from God’s “seven thousand” “election” as biblically proved in previous posts.

English “reckoned” in Romans 4:9 was mistranslated from Greek verb 3049 logizomai subjectively meaning to instill words pursuant to the will and objective of the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action. Greek verb 3049 logizomai is a Greek transitive verb meaning “the Lord” who performed the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai in Romans 4:8 is extended to Romans 4:9. Since “the Lord” performed the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai it means to instill God’s true words. God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai during this earth age and superimpose God’s true words during this earth age and during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

English “the blessing” in Galatians 3:14 was translated from Greek noun 2129 eulogia which is the noun form of Greek verb 2127 eulogeo and Greek adjective 2128 eulogetos all three being from a compound of Greek adverb 2095 eu denoting a thing well done as expressed in Matthew 25:14-29 and Greek masculine noun 3056 logos which was correctly translated into “Word” in John 1:1. Greek noun 2129 eulogia is the etymology of Greek noun eulogy but is in fact God’s well done word. Greek adjective 2128 eulogetos describes and qualifies the one and only God being the only entity who can perform the action of Greek verb 2127 eulogeo and only God’s “seven thousand” “election” are “chosen” to receive God’s well done word during this earth age. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are “chosen” to superimpose God’s well done word during this earth age and during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” that will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. Greek noun 165 aion is an earth age. Greek adjective 166 aionios describes and qualifies multiple earth ages. If this is the first time you have heard of biblical earth ages you may want to consider the possibility that you are the grammatical object of grammatical subjects other than God because Greek noun 165 aion and Greek adjective 166 aionios appear in the bible 199 times.

English “Blessed” in Romans 4:8 was translated from Greek adjective 3107 makarios. English “blessedness” in Romans 4:6, 4:9 and 4:15 were translated from Greek noun 3108 makarismos from Greek verb 3106 makarizo meaning to beatify/bless with God’s Holy Spirit. Greek adjective 3107 makarios describes and qualifies those human beings God beatifies/blesses with God’s Holy Spirit. Greek noun 3108 makarismos is the beatification/blessing itself. Greek verb 3106 makarizo was horribly mistranslated by a flesh translator into the translator’s flesh English thought “we count them happy” in James 5:11 “Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy”. God, in James 5:11, is actually explaining the criteria by which human beings qualify for the receipt and retention of God’s Holy Spirit which is the objective definition of Greek verb 3106 makarizo. God performs the action of  verb 3106 makarizo. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are “chosen” by God to receive and retain God’s Holy Spirit pursuant to God’s will. The criteria to be “chosen” by God is defined in James 5:11 subsequent to English “endure” being translated from Greek verb 5278 hupomeno and “patience” was translated from Greek noun 5281 hupomone both from a compound of Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subjects. Greek verb 3306 meno [the second compound of Greek verb 5278 hupomeno] was translated into English “abide” in John 14:16 and into “dwelleth” in John 14:17. Greek noun 3438 mone [which is the second compound of Greek noun 5281 hupomone] was translated into English “abode” in John 14:23. Please copy and paste   http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html  into your search engine then go to John 14:16-24 to confirm what I am telling you in this paragraph and see where God might lead you.

Romans 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

The answer to the question posed in Romans 4:9 is yes but moot, subsequent to Romans 2:28-29 “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh” “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God”. The Greek words in Romans 2:28-29 define circumcision of the heart in the spirit as changing our flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual truth and ways via God’s spirit. Psalm 105:6 and Isaiah 41:8 confirm that Abraham is among God’s “seven thousand” “election”. The descendents [seed] of Abraham [Jew] are predicated upon spirit not upon flesh as the Greek words in the next few verses of the 4^th chapter of Romans in conjunction with Galatians 3:14 and 29 will explain. Galatians 3:14 and 29 say: “That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith”. “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise”. Abraham’s seed are God’s “seven thousand” “election”.

English “Blessed” in Romans 4:8 was translated from Greek adjective 3107 makarios which was also translated into “Blessed” in Revelation 20:6 “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. The “thousand years” is “the Lord’s day” “the day of our Lord Jesus”  “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”. 1Corinthians 5:5 is one of the most accurate Greek to English translations in the bible: “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus”. God, in Genesis 6:3 said: “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years”.  These things are integral parts of God’s process pursuant to God’s will. Grammatical subjects other than God mistranslate and misinterpret God’s original Hebrew and Greek words and cover God’s truth but God’s will is adequately defined in English in Joel 2:28-31  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 11:26-32  1Corinthians 15:22-23 and 1Timothy 2:3-6  “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”. This is well translated. This is God’s will. I do not know what part of these two bible verses human beings do not understand.

If you want to know what act Paul was referring to in 1Corinthians 5:5 you will find the answer in 1Corinthians 5:1. Please think on and answer this question: did Paul say that sick puppy was going to burn like bacon for all eternity or is God’s process structured “that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus”? The “thousand years” “day of the Lord Jesus” will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. God’s “seven thousand” “election” “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” and cause “the rest” of God’s children “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”.   

We need to clean up one more misinterpretation of Romans 4:8. God does not impute sin into any human being. The “blessedness” of Romans 4:8 and 4:9 is that God will not allow any human being to displace God as the performer of the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai unto those God said “I have reserved to myself” being God’s “seven thousand” “election”.

Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

English “impute” in Romans 4:8 was translated from Greek verb 3049 logizomai subjectively meaning to instill words pursuant to the will and objective of the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action. Since “the Lord” is performing the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai it means to instill God’s true words. God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai during this earth age. God’s “seven thousand” “election” will superimpose the action of Greek verb 3049 logizomai they received from God during this earth age unto “the rest” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day”  which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

English “forgiven” in Romans 4:7 was mistranslated from Greek verb 863 aphiemi meaning to displace one thing with another. In the context of Romans 4:7 Greek verb 863 aphiemi means for God to displace the flesh thoughts of God’s “seven thousand” “election” with God’s spiritual “thoughts and ways”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” have, are or will study every verse containing Greek verb 863 aphiemi and Greek noun 859 aphesis.  God has, is or will define every word in each verse containing Greek verb 863 aphiemi and flesh thoughts of God’s “seven thousand” “election” will be displaced with God’s spiritual “thoughts and ways”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” understand that as God performs the action of Greek verb 863 aphiemi God is displacing the flesh thoughts and feelings of God’s “seven thousand” “election” with God’s spiritual “thoughts and ways”. Greek noun 859 aphesis is the displacement of the flesh thoughts and feelings of God’s “seven thousand” “election”. I better understood God’s process after I visualized God inserting spiritual golf balls into a steel pipe with an inner dimension fractionally larger than the diameter of the golf balls. As God inserted spiritual golf balls flesh thoughts and feelings golf balls were displaced from the opposite end of the pipe with my mind representing the pipe. When a human being rejects God’s spiritual truth in deference to flesh thoughts and feelings, God’s process pursuant to God’s will ceases. “Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have” meaning that in the same instant a human being rejects God’s spiritual truth in deference to their flesh thoughts and feelings not only does God’s process cease, “from him shall be taken even” what spiritual golf balls “which he seemeth to have”. When a human being’s flesh mind [pipe] is entirely filled with God’s spiritual thoughts and ways that human being fulfills the “first commandment” Jesus defined in Matthew 22:36-38 and Mark 12:28-34. God’s process is a long arduous process. Explaining God’s process to another human being is even more challenging. English “grace” in Romans 4:4 was mistranslated from Greek noun 5485 charis being the temporary bestowment of God’s Spirit. Visualize Greek noun 5485 charis as God’s first spiritual golf ball. The overwhelming majority of human beings reject God’s first spiritual golf ball in deference to their flesh thoughts and feelings. Greek noun 5486 charisma is God’s permanent endowment of God’s Spirit pursuant to God’s will as documented by the Greek words in Romans 11:26-32. Visualize Greek noun 5486 charisma as a mind [pipe] entirely filled with God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. Understand that God keeps his “seven thousand” “election” humble because it is not possible to know if they have completed God’s process pursuant to God’s will until they take their last flesh breath. If you are curious about why God’s “election” endure God’s process pursuant to God’s will, please refer to Romans 4:4. God’s permanent endowment of God’s spirit/5486 charisma is predicated upon works.

English “are covered” in Romans 4:7 was correctly translated from Greek verb 2572 kalypto which was translated into “covered” in Matthew 10:26 “Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known”. Greek verb 2990 lanthano means to hide by covering one thing with another. English words “truth” and “true” throughout the Bible’s spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law were translated from Greek noun 225 aletheia and Greek adjective 227 alethes both from a compound of Greek 1 a negative particle synonymous with English un or not and Greek verb 2990 lanthano meaning to hide by covering one thing with another. English “revealed” in Matthew 10:26 was translated from Greek verb 601 apokalypto from a compound of Greek preposition 575 apo denoting separation in the sense of removing one thing from another and Greek verb 2572 kalypto meaning to cover one thing with another. Greek verb 601 apokalypto most often means to remove flesh thoughts and feelings that cover God’s spiritual truth to reveal God’s intrinsic spiritual truth contained in God’s original Hebrew and Greek bible words.  Greek verb 601 apokalypto is the verb form of Greek noun 602 apokalypsis which is translated into “Revelation” of Jesus Christ in Revelation 1:1 and “revelation” throughout the bible. Greek noun 602 apokalypsis was translated into “manifestation” in Romans 8:19 “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” pursuant to Romans 8:21 “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”.   The “sons of God” of Romans 8:19 are the “many brethren” of Romans 8:29 and God’s “seven thousand” “election” of Romans 11:4-7 and 11: 25-32 and “the creature” of Romans 8:19 and 29 and “the rest” in Romans 11:7 is every human being on earth during this earth age other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” in which “the rest” every other “creature” will “come unto the knowledge of the truth” through God’s “seven thousand” “election”.

*** English “commit” in John 2:24 “But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men” was translated from Greek verb 4100 pisteuo. Grammatical subject is the performer of a verb’s action. Grammatical object is the recipient of the action performed. Greek verb 4100 pisteuo was translated 239 times into English “believe”. Greek noun 4102 pistis was translated 239 times into English “faith”; both are from Greek verb 3982 peitho meaning to persuade. Greek verb 3982 peitho was translated into English “persuaded” in Matthew 27:20 “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus”. The “chief priests” and church “elders” were the grammatical subjects who “persuaded” their grammatical objects “the multitude” to “destroy Jesus”. The bible makes it clear that grammatical subjects other than God persuade their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in things contrary to God’s spiritual truth.  Greek verb 4100 pisteuo which was translated into English “commit” in John 2:24 was also translated into “will commit to trust” in Luke 16:11 into “the gospel is committed unto me” in 1Corinthians 9:17 “was committed unto me” in Galatians 2:7 “was committed to” in 1Timothy 1:11 and “is committed unto” in Titus 1:3. God is the performer of the action of Greek verb 4100 pisteuo / “believe”.  Belief of and faith in God’s spiritual truth “is committed unto” “seven thousand” “election” God said “I have reserved to myself” “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” to preclude “the rest” from Matthew 12:32 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. God removed “the rest” from God’s process pursuant to God’s will best defined in 1Timothy 2:3-4 “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”. “Israel” is among “the rest” and “the rest” is every human being other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” as confirmed in Romans 11:3-7. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 4982 sozo which was translated into “to be saved” in 1Timothy 2:4. If you are curious about who will cause “Israel” and “the rest” “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” you will find your answer in Romans 11:25-32 and Revelation 20:4-6 will tell you when. Please add to this paragraph Luke 14:26 “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple” and understand that English “hate” was translated from Greek verb 3404 miseo meaning to detest. If you look up detest in a dictionary it will define detest as hate but a good dictionary will tell you the etymology of English detest is from Latin detestari literally meaning to de-testify. English “life” was translated from Greek noun 5590 psuche which was 58 times correctly translated into English bible word “soul”.  English word “disciple” was translated from Greek noun 3101 mathetes. Everyone who has studied Greek words 3100-3103 and Greek verb 3129 manthano know Greek noun 3101 mathetes is God’s learner. Every human being ever born must de-testify every other human being including father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and their own soul and especially the world’s 4,351 religions or they can not even begin to be God’s learner. My job is not to teach the bible. My job during this earth age is to cause you to consider the possibility that what you have been taught since infancy may not be consistent with God’s definition of right and truth, whereby God can reserve you to himself and teach you by himself.
