Romans 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

English “teachest” were translated from Greek verb 1321 didasko which is the verb form of Greek masculine noun 1320 didaskalos in Romans 2:20. The objective of a teacher didaskalos is to impart knowledge. The objective of an instructor paideutes is to generate action pursuant to the objective. In either case “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” “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”. English “due” was translated from Greek adjective 2398 idios describing one’s own time. “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are God’s “firstfruits”. “Christ’s” “coming” is the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” that will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

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.

Romans 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

English “art confident” was translated from Greek verb 3982 peitho meaning to persuade. 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. Today’s “priests” and church “elders” persuade their congregations that they perform the spiritual action of the Greek verb 4100 pisteuo translated into various tenses of English “believe”.  Greek verb 4100 pisteuo was also translated into English “commit” in John 2:24 into “will commit to trust” in Luke 16:11 into “the gospel is committed unto me” in 1 Corinthians 9:17 “was committed unto me” in Galatians 2:7 “was committed to” in 1 Timothy 1:11 and “is committed unto” in Titus 1:3. God is the true performer of the action of Greek verb 4100 pisteuo/ “believe”.  Belief of and faith in God’s spiritual truth “is committed unto” God’s “seven thousand” “election” of whom 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”. Religion’s grammatical subjects have convinced their grammatical objects to believe in the trinity and to believe Jesus will rapture their grammatical objects to escape the apocalypse even though neither the word trinity nor the word rapture appear in the bible. Not in Hebrew. Not in Greek. Not in English. We do know that John 1:1 Hebrews 10:7 and 1John 5:7 document a foursome of Father Son Spirit and Word. We do know that the etymology of English apocalypse is from Greek noun 602 apokalypsis which was translated into “Revelation of Jesus Christ” in Revelation 1:1 and 1Peter 1:13 and “revelation” throughout the bible. We do know that grammatical objects of grammatical subjects other than God will indeed escape the “Revelation” of Jesus Christ and every biblical “revelation” “the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began” “For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ”. Greek noun 602 apokalypsis was translated into “coming” in “So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”. Greek noun 602 apokalypsis was also translated into “manifestation” in “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” who are God’s “seven thousand” “election”.  “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” because that is God’s will which will come to fruition during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” that will occur between this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows.

Romans 2:18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

English “his will” was translated from Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema. English “will” [as in God’s will] has been translated from Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema Greek feminine noun 2308 thelesis Greek verb 2309 thelo Greek feminine noun 1012 boule Greek neuter noun 1013 boulema and Greek verb 1014 boulomai. Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema Greek feminine noun 2308 thelesis and Greek verb 2309 thelo represent what God wants. Greek feminine noun 1012 boule Greek neuter noun 1013 boulema and Greek verb 1014 boulomai represent God’s counsel pursuant to what God wants. Simply stated, a grammatical object of any spiritual grammatical subject other than God does not receive God’s counsel. Only God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive God’s counsel. Only a fraction of “the election” God said “I have reserved to myself” have fulfilled “the first commandment”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are most humble because they will not know if they have fulfilled “the first commandment” until they take their last flesh breath. Jesus defined “the first commandment” in Matthew 22:37-38 and Mark 12:28-32. English “mind” in Matthew 22:37 and Mark 12:30 were both translated from Greek noun 1271 dianoia from a compound of Greek preposition dia meaning through, as the channel of an act, and noia being God’s thoughts. The scribe changed Jesus’ word mind/dianoia being God’s thoughts into the scribe’s word understanding/sunesis being the scribe’s thoughts, which is one of the reasons God, in the last four verses of the bible, warns us of the consequences “If any man shall add unto” or “if any man shall take away from the words of the book” and instructed us to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.  

Romans 2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

English “restest” was translated from Greek verb 1879 epanapauomai from a compound of Greek preposition 1909 epi denoting superimposition of time, place, order, etc. as a relation of distribution from the genitive to the accusative case with which it is joined and Greek verb 373 anapauo which is the verb form of Greek noun 372 anapausis both from a compound of Greek 303 ana up denoting motion from a lower grammatical object to a higher grammatical subject and Greek verb 3973 pauo subjectively meaning to restrain someone or something from an action and objectively meaning to pause, cease or desist from prior action. Greek verb 3973 pauo is the latter part of Greek verb 2664 katapauo which is the verb form of Greek noun 2663 katapausis both from a compound of Greek preposition 2596 kata down denoting action from the higher grammatical subject to the lower grammatical object and Greek verb 3973 pauo subjectively meaning to restrain someone or something from an action and objectively meaning to pause, cease or desist from prior action. Greek verb 1879 epanapauomai Greek verb 373 anapauo Greek noun 372 anapausis Greek verb 2664 katapauo and Greek noun 2663 katapausis have all been translated into English “rest” subsequent to King James Bible translators endeavoring to execute a Greek to English word for word translation. Luke 12:51 documents Jesus came to divide us. Hebrews 4:12 documents the bible is designed to divide us. Grammatical objects of God as their only grammatical subject who study every verse containing each Hebrew or Greek word will understand God’s definition of each word. Example: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls” “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”^” “If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified” “Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest”? “For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word” “And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not”? “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his”. English “rest” in prior bible verse Hebrews 4:10 was translated from Greek noun 2663 katapausis and “hath ceased” was translated from Greek verb 2664 katapauo. Every physically able human being on earth gets out of bed every day and executes processes pursuant to objectives. Everything people do is a process pursuant to an objective. God’s objective is God’s will. God’s “seven thousand” “election” understand God’s will and God’s process pursuant to God’s will. God’s “seven thousand” “election” understand Greek verb 1879 epanapauomai Greek verb 373 anapauo Greek noun 372 anapausis Greek verb 2664 katapauo and Greek noun 2663 katapausis and subsequently understand Hebrews 4:1-13 and know that God’s spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law is a will and testament whereby God performs the action of Greek verb 373 anapauo Greek verb 2664 katapauo and  Greek verb 1879 epanapauomai and God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive the action God performs and superimposes the same to “the rest” of humanity. There is flesh death, life and law.  There is spiritual death, life and law. The statements and questions in Romans 2:18-28 that follow in future posts are in the affirmative if the “law” is the New Testament/covenant/contract spiritual “law” or in the negative if the “law” is the Old Testament/covenant/contract flesh “law”.

Romans 2:16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

English “the day” noted in Romans 2:16 is the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” in which God’s will shall come to fruition.

English “gospel” in Romans 2:16 and throughout the bible were translated from Greek neuter noun 2098 euangelion from Greek verb 2097 euangelizo both from a compound of Greek adverb 2095 eu indicating something well done and Greek masculine noun 32 angelos correctly translated 179 times into English “angel” being the “angel” of God  aka God’s Spirit. There is one “angel” of God. There is one Spirit of God. The reason there are 4,351 world religions is because they are preaching 4,351 different doctrines.  Greek verb 2097 euangelizo is the etymology of English evangelize and was 23 times translated into English “preach” 22 times into “preach the Gospel” 2 times into “bring good tidings” “show glad tidings” and “bring glad tidings” 1 time into “declare” and “declare glad tidings”. There are 4,351 religions “preaching” 4,351 different “doctrines” even though there is only one God, one angel of God, one Spirit of God. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”. A preacher standing behind a pulpit professing to preach God’s Gospel is speaking from an orifice opposite their lips.

Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;

English “conscience” was translated from Greek noun 4893 suneidesis from a compound of Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union and Greek verb 1492 eido subjectively meaning to cause one’s grammatical objects to see through the eyes and know through the thoughts of their grammatical subject. When flesh grammatical subjects perform the action of Greek verb 1492 eido including the world’s 4,351 religions, they cause their grammatical objects to see through their flesh eyes and know through their flesh thoughts. When God performs the action of Greek verb 1492 eido God’s “seven thousand” “election” see through God’s spiritual eyes and know through God’s spiritual thoughts. The etymology of English Sanhedrin is from Greek neuter noun 4892 sunedrion which was 22 times translated into English noun “council” not to be confused with God’s verb “counsel”. Greek feminine noun 4893 suneidesis and Greek neuter noun 4892 sunedrion are both from a compound of Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union and Greek verb 1492 eido subjectively meaning to cause one’s grammatical objects to see through the eyes and know through the thoughts of their grammatical subject. The Sanhedrin, when Jesus walked the earth, was the council at Jerusalem, consisting of seventy-one members including scribes, elders, prominent members of the high priestly families and the high priest being Caiaphas the president of the council. The most important causes were brought before this council, in as much as the Roman rulers of Judaea had left to it the power of trying such cases, and, also of pronouncing sentence of death, with the limitation that a capital sentence pronounced by the Sanhedrin was not valid unless it was confirmed by the Roman procurator being Pontius Pilate the governor. “When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him” “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus” “The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas” “Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified”. This is God’s biblical example of today’s 4,351 religions teaching flesh judgment and punishment rather than God’s spiritual truth that God “will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. If you believe God’s truth expressed in 1Timothy 2:4-6 and are more concerned about how you can help bring God’s will to fruition rather than what God can do for you; you may be “chosen” to be among God’s “seven thousand” “election” whose flesh thoughts and feelings are “dead” in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways and subsequently “dead” to the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law in deference to God’s “better” spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law. The reason Matthew 5:18 says “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” is because English “be fulfilled” was translated from Greek verb 1096 ginomai subjectively meaning “to cause to be” and objectively meaning “to become”. When God performs the action of Greek verb 1096 ginomai God causes His “seven thousand” “election” to become what God wants pursuant to God’s will which is adequately defined in English in Joel 2:28-31 John 1:9   Romans 14:11   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. Old Testament/covenant/contract/law remains in affect for everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election”.   

English “one another” in Romans 2:15 was translated from two dissimilar Greek words. Greek reciprocal plural pronoun 240 allelon which does in fact mean “one another” and Greek verb 3342 metaxy from a compound of Greek preposition 3326 meta denoting conditional accompaniment “amidst” the genitive or accusative case with which it is joined and Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting absolute union. Greek preposition 3326 meta has been translated into dissimilar English words “with” and “after” subsequent to God’s “seven thousand” “election” being “with” God during this earth age and “the rest” who will “come unto the knowledge of the truth” “after” this earth age during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows. Greek verb 3342 metaxy is the space and time between God’s “seven thousand” “election” and “the rest” “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” during this earth age. Greek verb 3342 metaxy was 8 times mistranslated into English adjectives “between” 2 times into “meanwhile” and 1 time into “next” because flesh translators did not understand God’s words “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division”. Greek verb 3342 metaxy is in fact God dividing “the rest” from God’s “seven thousand” “election” pursuant to God’s will. God’s “division” is not to punish “the rest” of God’s “children” “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”. God is protecting “the rest” of God’s “children” 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”. Only God’s “seven thousand” “election” can “speaketh against the Holy Ghost” because God has precluded “the rest” from God’s Spirit during this earth age. Greek verb 3342 metaxy was translated into English “between” in Acts 15:8-9 “And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us” “And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith”. Greek verb 3342 metaxy was also translated into English “between” in Luke 16:26 “And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence”. God came to earth to divide us. God’s word is designed to divide us. Acts 15:8-9 documents that both “us” and “them” received and retained God’s Spirit while Luke 16:26 exemplifies the division of  “the rich man” who did not retain God’s Spirit from “Abraham and Lazarus” who retained God’s Spirit and subsequently exuded God’s light in “celestial” bodies, greatly enhancing their credibility in the eyes of  “the rich man”. Previous posts have dedicated much time and many words reconciling Luke 16:19-31. The condensed version is this: “the rich man” is in the same place at the same time as “Abraham and Lazarus” the “great gulf fixed” is not a physical barrier. When “the rich man” transitions from flesh to Spirit he too will exude God’s light. The pain and consternation of “the rich man” is self induced as promised in Matthew 7:1-2. God performs the action of Greek verb 3342 metaxy for God’s “chosen” grammatical objects being God’s “seven thousand” “election” and puts time and space “between” them and “the rest”.   

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

English “Gentiles” in Romans 2:14 was translated from Greek noun 1484 ethnos being every nation other than Israel. Greek noun 1484 ethnos was 93 times translated into English “Gentiles” 64 times into “nations” 5 times into “heathen” and 2 times into “people” documenting why grammatical objects of God as their only grammatical subject by “rightly dividing the word of truth” know the 5 Ws who, what, when, where and why. The nation of Israel and those of the Jewish religion referred to nations other than Israel and religions other than Jewish as “heathen” as do many of the world’s 4,351 religions. When I first started “rightly dividing the word of truth” I used a hard copy of a King James Bible and Strong’s Concordance to trace English words back to their original Hebrew and Greek words starting with the book of John and went wherever God led me which was unconventional. God led me from the book of John to Isaiah 45:18 where Hebrew noun H8414 tohuw led to Jeremiah 4:23 and Genesis 1:2 defining earth ages which led to the book of Matthew and then to Job. There I was in the book of Job where the Hebrew words were teaching me things contrary to the books of  John, Matthew, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Genesis. I thank God every day but do not ask God for anything because I believe the bible phrase “your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him” but after many hours of studying the book of Job I followed God’s Matthew 6:6 instruction and thought hey Lord help me a little here but all I received was an unction to continue. I repeated aforementioned thought prayer over many days and studied every verse containing every Hebrew word until I reached Job38:2 where God said to Job and me “Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge”? I was immediately angry because God had for weeks ignored my prayers and allowed me to study the Hebrew words spoken by Job’s buddies “Eliphaz” “Bildad” “Zophar” and “Elihu” who “darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge”? Job’s flesh human buddies “Eliphaz” “Bildad” “Zophar” and “Elihu” darkened God’s counsel and temporarily displaced God as mine and Job’s grammatical subject. God taught me to always know who is saying what to whom and to know why and where they are saying it. God’s apostle John was imprisoned “in the isle that is called Patmos” while he was simultaneously “in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” which is yet in our future. Most human beings have difficulty understanding the book of Revelation because they don’t recognize if John is in his and our past, present or future. God’s “seven thousand” “election” understand that they are not smart enough, on their own, to understand God’s spiritual truth “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life”. I am not smart enough to tell you what God’s word means. I am smart enough to demonstrate God’s process pursuant to God’s will whereby God may “choose” you to reserve to Himself to ultimately be among God’s “seven thousand” “election”.

English “by nature” in Romans 2:14 was translated from Greek noun 5449 phusis noted in prior post. Greek noun 5449 phusis is a bad noun when it was translated into English “nature” in Ephesians 2:3 subsequent to being a grammatical object of a “flesh” grammatical subject rather than God. Greek noun 5449 phusis is a good noun when it was translated into English “nature” in 2Peter 1:4 subsequent to being a grammatical object of God’s “divine” “nature” rather than a “flesh” grammatical subject other than God. The same Hebrew or Greek words can have opposite meanings predicated upon “flesh” grammatical subjects “which by nature are no gods” as reaffirmed in Galatians 4:8. “Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others” “Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods” “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”.      

Romans 2:13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

English “just” was translated from Greek adjective 1342 dikaios describing those who are right per God’s definition of right.

English “be justified” in Romans 2:13 was translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo which is the verb form of Greek adjective 1342 dikaios above. Greek verb 1344 dikaioo subjectively means to make right and objectively means to be made right per God’s definition of right if and only when God performs the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo directly for God’s “seven thousand” “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” as documented in Romans 11:4-5. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are “chosen” by God as God’s direct grammatical objects.

English “doers” in Romans 2:13 above was translated from Greek noun 4163 poietes which was translated into “doers” in James 1:21-27 and into “poets” in Acts 17:28-29 “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring” “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device”. Acts 9:15 and John 15:16 confirm that God’s “apostles” are among God’s “seven thousand” “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” who are the “we” of Acts 17:28-29. English “offspring” was translated from Greek noun 1085 genos which was translated into English “generation” in “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”. English “chosen” was translated from Greek adjective 1588 eklektos which was 16 times translated into English “elect”. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos is the adjective form of Greek noun 1589 ekloge being God’s “seven thousand” “election”. English “royal” in 1Peter 2:9 above was translated from Greek adjective 934 basileios which is the adjective form of Greek verb 936 basileuo which was translated into “reigned” in Revelation 20:4 and into “shall reign” in Revelation 20:6 and into “kings” in Revelation 5:1-10 and 1Timothy 6:11-16. God’s “seven thousand” “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” God has “chosen” “which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years” “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection” “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” which is the “Lord’s day”. “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” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which shall occur between the end of this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows. Back to Acts 17:29 where English “graven” was translated from Greek 5480 charagma which was translated into English “mark” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4. If you understand none of God’s other biblical spiritual truth understand Greek 5480 charagma and understand that the “beast” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4 are the flesh “thoughts” of any grammatical subject other than God. English “we ought” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek verb 3784 opheilo subjectively being the price paid on a Roman cross and objectively being the debt owed by God’s “seven thousand” “election”. “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt”. English “device” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek noun 1761 enthumesis which was translated into English “thoughts” in Matthew 9:4, Matthew 12:45 and Hebrews 4:12. The “beast” of Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4 are the flesh “thoughts” of any grammatical subject other than God.

Back to “doers” in James 1:21-27 “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls” “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass” “For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was” “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain” “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world”.

English “engrafted” in James 1:21 was translated from Greek adjective 1721 emphutos which appears only in James 1:21. In cases where Greek words appear in only one verse there are four processes available to fulfill God’s instruction pursuant to “rightly dividing the word of truth” whereby God can define his word for us. {1} search for different forms of the same word. In this case Greek 1720 emphusao is the verb form of Greek adjective 1721 emphutos. {2} Greek adjective 1721 emphutos and Greek verb 1720 emphusao are both from a compound of Greek verb 1722 en which is synonymous with English “in” and from Greek verb 5453 phuo. {3} Greek verb 5453 phuo subjectively means to beget,  bring forth, or produce and objectively means to be born, to be brought forth, to spring up or to grow. {4} God will define Greek verb 5453 phuo for everyone who studies every verse containing Greek words 5443-5453 who will ultimately understand that grammatical subjects other than God will beget, bring forth, or produce “natural” “flesh” “physical” “puffed up” grammatical objects. God, from the same “lump” of clay, begets, brings forth, or produces spiritual grammatical objects. “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour”? God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own children. God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own citizens “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels”. God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own “tribe”. God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own “offspring”. God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own “offshoots”. God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own “plants”. God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own “leaves” in “the tree of life” “for the healing of the nations”. God begets, brings forth, and produces God’s own “seven thousand” “election” “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth” “for the healing of the nations” “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 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

English “perish” was translated from Greek verb 622 apollumi from a compound of Greek preposition 575 apo denoting separation of something or someone away from someone or something else in terms of place, time, or relationship and Greek noun 3639 olethros best translated into English “destruction” in “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”. The “day of the Lord Jesus” is the “thousand years” of  2 Peter 3:8 and Revelation 20:4,5,6 and 7 is the “one day” of 2 Peter 3:8 and “the day of the Lord” of 2 Peter 3:10  “the day of the Lord Jesus” of 1Corinthians 5:5 and “a day” “he hath appointed” of Acts 17:31. The “day of the Lord” is the “thousand years” which will occur between the end of this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows. The “thousand years” in which “God our Saviour” “will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. Back to Greek verb 622 apollumi which subjectively means to destroy and objectively means to be destroyed. There is flesh life and flesh death. There is spiritual life and spiritual death. Flesh destroys spirit. Spirit destroys flesh. When God’s Spirit performs the action of Greek verb 622 apollumi God’s Spirit destroys flesh. When flesh human beings perform the action of Greek verb 622 apollumi they destroy Spirit. “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would”. “But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law”. English “under” was correctly translated from Greek verb 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case, as a grammatical object is under their grammatical subject. The Old Testament was a flesh covenant between God and “Israel”. The New Testament is a spiritual covenant between God and God’s “election”. The bible ten times defines the Old Testament/covenant/contract as “the law and the prophets” Hebrew 10:5-9’s Greek words document that God is present in Hebrew and Greek bible words but absent in English words. Hebrew 10:5-9’s Greek words also document God’s “election” are dead to the law as does “Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him” “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord” “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God” “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness”. Now back to the worst mistranslated Greek words of Hebrews 10:5-9 “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me” “In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure” “Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God” “Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law” “Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second”.  English “first” applies to the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and Israel while the “second” applies to the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and “seven thousand” “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” as documented in Romans 11:4-5.

English “thou wouldest” in Hebrews 10:5 and 8 were translated from Greek verb 2309 thelo while English “will” in Hebrews 10:9 was translated from Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema. English “will” [as in God’s will] has been translated from Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema Greek feminine noun 2308 thelesis Greek verb 2309 thelo Greek feminine noun 1012 boule Greek neuter noun 1013 boulema and Greek verb 1014 boulomai.

Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema Greek feminine noun 2308 thelesis and Greek verb 2309 thelo represent what God wants. Greek feminine noun 1012 boule Greek neuter noun 1013 boulema and Greek verb 1014 boulomai represent God’s counsel pursuant to what God wants. Simply stated, a grammatical object of any spiritual grammatical subject other than God does not receive God’s counsel. Only a fraction of “the election” God said “I have reserved to myself” have fulfilled the first commandment. Jesus defined the first commandment in Matthew 22:37-38 and Mark 12:28-32. English “mind” in Matthew 22:37 and Mark 12:30 were both translated from Greek noun 1271 dianoia from a compound of Greek preposition dia denoting the channel of an act, and noia being God’s thoughts. The scribe changed Jesus’ word mind/dianoia being God’s thoughts into the scribe’s word understanding/sunesis being the scribe’s thoughts, which is one of the reasons God, in the last four verses of the bible, warns us of the consequences “If any man shall add unto” or “if any man shall take away from the words of the book”. 2Timothy 2:15 instructs us to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. Even though woefully inadequate, I try to demonstrate the process of “rightly dividing the word of truth” by studying every verse containing each Hebrew or Greek word whereby God can define each word for you.

English “sacrifices for” in Hebrews 10:6, “of” in Hebrews 10:7 and “offering for” in Hebrews 10:8 were all translated from Greek preposition 4012 peri often used as an adverb denoting the joining of genitive and accusative or dative case as grammatical subjects encompass/engulf their grammatical objects all over and around in various applications of cause, place or time and qualifies Galatians 3:16-25 in the sense that God’s flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law was always an interim “schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ,” and God’s spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law.  

English “come” in Hebrews 10:7 & 9 were translated from Greek verb 2240 heko meaning to be present. Various tenses of English “come” were translated from Greek verb 1525 eiserchomai meaning to come into, Greek verb 1330 dierchomai meaning to come through one place to another, Greek verb 1831 exerchomai meaning to come from another place of origin, Greek verb 2064 erchomai meaning to come or go in the past or present tense, Greek verb 2240 heko meaning to be present, Greek noun 3952 parousia being the future coming of Jesus Christ, from Greek verb 5562 choreo meaning to make room to receive and from Greek verb 5348 phthano meaning to come beforehand in the sense of achieving or attaining an objective before others.

English “volume” in Hebrews 10:7 above was translated from Greek feminine noun 2777  kephalis being the knobs [little heads] at the ends of wooden rods to which animal skin parchments and papyrus writing materials were attached. Animal skin parchments were hand written upon in Hebrew and papyrus pages were hand written upon in Greek. Greek noun 2776 kephale was correctly translated 76 times into English “head”. Greek noun 2777 kephalis truly means little heads, in this context, better translated into knobs. Etymology of English volume is from Latin volumen meaning “scroll” from Latin volvere meaning “to roll”.

The first bibles containing both a new and old testament were commissioned by the Roman Emperor Constantine in 325 AD. The printing press was introduced by Johannes Gutenberg in 1436 AD. The King James Bible was introduced in 1611 AD. James Strong dedicated 50 years of his life to translating English King James Bible words back to their original Hebrew and Greek words. Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible was first published in 1890 AD.  God’s Spirit is present in Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek words; not in English words. God makes that clear to “seven thousand” “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” as documented in English in Romans 11:4-5. 

English “taketh away” in Hebrews 10:9 was translated from Greek verb 337 anaireo. Understanding of Greek verb 337 anaireo will be enhanced by studying Greek verb 863 aphiemi which was most often mistranslated into various tenses of English “forgive”. God does not forgive sins. God displaces sinful flesh thoughts and feelings with God’s own spiritual thoughts and ways. Greek verb 863 aphiemi subjectively means to send away one thing in deference to another and objectively means to have one’s own flesh thoughts and feelings displaced by God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. Greek noun 859 aphesis is the noun form of Greek verb 863 aphiemi. Greek noun 859 aphesis is the deliverance/liberty from flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways as documented in Luke 4:18. Greek verb 337 anaireo was 10 times translated into English “kill” 8 times into “slay” 2 times into “put to death” 1 time into “taketh away” and 1 time into “take up”. When God performs the action of Greek verb 337 anaireo God’s “seven thousand” “election” are the recipients of God’s action. God displaces the flesh thoughts and feelings of God’s “seven thousand” “election” with God’s spiritual thoughts and ways to spiritually “kill” their flesh thoughts and feelings. “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness” “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” “Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances” “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God” “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth” “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory”. Previous English bible word “glory” was translated from Greek noun 1391 doxa which is the noun form of Greek verb 1392 doxazo subjectively meaning to instill with God’s light and objectively means to literally exude God’s light. “But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away”. Earthly flesh “terrestrial” bodies exuding God’s light was “done away” with Moses. Not even Christ exuded God’s light in his “terrestrial” body. God’s “seven thousand” “election” understand that Jesus took Peter, James, and John to heaven where they witnessed the literal light of God in Jesus’ “celestial” body.  “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom” “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart” “And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light” “And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” also understand from Luke 16:22-31 that “the rich man” viewed “Abraham and Lazarus” in “celestial” bodies exuding God’s light and recognized that he himself did not exude God’s light which directly correlates to Matthew 7:1-2 “Judge not, that ye be not judged” “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again” which correlates to 1Corinthians 15:54-55 “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory”? The “gulf” in Luke 16:26 is not a physical barrier. The “gulf” is the division of “celestial” bodies of “immortality” exuding God’s light from “celestial” yet “mortal” bodies not exuding God’s light. English “grave” in 1Corinthians 15:55 was translated from Greek noun 86 hades which was 10 times translated into English “hell”. English false narrative “hell” has been translated from Hebrew noun H7585 she’owl meaning grave, from Greek noun 1067 geenna being the valley of the son of Hinnom containing Jerusalem’s garbage pit where Jesus instructed us to cast any flesh member [Mt 5:29 James 3:6] that offends God’s Spirit and from Greek 86 hades from a compound of Greek 1 a negative particle synonymous with English un or not and Greek verb 1492 eido meaning to see through the eyes and know through the thoughts of one’s grammatical subject. Greek 86 hades means unable to see through God’s eyes and know through God’s thoughts when a grammatical object has any grammatical subject other than God. Everyone goes to heaven. The “rich man” is in the same place at the same time with “Abraham and Lazarus” but “Abraham and Lazarus” who are among God’s “seven thousand” “election” who achieved the “first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 but the “rich man” is among the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 and thus susceptible to the “second death” of Revelation 20:6. English “baptism” emboldened  in Romans 6:4 above and throughout the bible are defined by John the Baptist in Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire”. Water “baptism” is a flesh physical example of the true spiritual “baptism” whereby the Holy Spirit burns up and kills the flesh thoughts and feelings of God’s “seven thousand” “election” in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. English “repentance” in Mathew 3:11 and throughout the bible were translated from Greek noun 3341 metanoia from a compound of Greek meta and Greek noia being God’s thoughts. Water baptism is simply a flesh physical representation of the old flesh human being going down into the water and the new spiritual human being coming up out of the water. True “baptism” is the “fire” of the “Holy Spirit” burning up works and thoughts from every source other than God as documented above in Mathew 3:11 and in 1Corinthians 3:13-15.
