Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

English “am persuaded” emboldened in Romans 14:14 was correctly translated from Greek verb 3982 peitho. The grammatical subject who performs the action of Greek verb 3982 peitho persuades their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in whatever their grammatical subject wants them to believe and have faith in. 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 flesh human beings persuade their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in flesh grammatical subjects contradicting God’s spiritual truth rendering their belief and faith of no consequence to God. The world’s 4,351 religions use faith as a cudgel to deter questions regarding religious dogma and doctrine.

Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

English “I know” emboldened in Romans 14:14 was translated from Greek verb 1492 eido meaning for a grammatical object to see through the eyes and know through the thoughts of their grammatical subject. If you are the grammatical object of God as your only spiritual grammatical subject you will see through God’s spiritual eyes and know through God’s spiritual thoughts. God’s definition of Greek verb 1492 eido will be enhanced by understanding that the false narrative “hell” has been translated from Hebrew noun H7585 she’owl meaning grave, from Greek noun 1067 geenna being the valley 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 noun 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 noun 86 hades which was 10 times mistranslated into the false narrative hell is in fact the impossibility of seeing through God’s eyes and knowing through God’s thoughts when a grammatical object has any spiritual grammatical subject other than God. Your understanding of God’s definition of both Greek verb 1492 eido and Greek noun 86 hades will be enhanced by understanding that Greek noun 86 hades which was translated into English “hell” in Revelation 1:18 and “grave” in 1Corinthians 15:53-58 “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,  Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death”. “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality”. “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 sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law” “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”. “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord”. English “forasmuch as ye know” emboldened in1Corinthians 15:58 was translated from Greek verb 1492 eido. The false narrative hell is pervasive among the world’s 4,351 religions.

 

Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

English “an occasion to fall” emboldened in Romans 14:13 was translated from Greek neuter noun 4625 skandalon which was translated into “an offense” in “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men”. English “for thou savourest” in Matthew 16:23 was translated from Greek verb 5426 phroneo meaning to think in the sense of exercising one’s mind. God’s perspective of Greek verb 5426 phroneo is best expressed within the context of Matthew 16:23 and Romans 8:5-8 even though English “for thou savourist” is not a great translation of Greek verb 5426 phroneo Jesus’ words to Peter are no less insightful even though Greek verb 5426 phroneo was better translated into English “do mind ” in Romans 8:5-8 “For they that are  after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit” “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” “So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God”. English “carnally” “carnal” and “flesh” emboldened in Romans 8:5-8 were all translated from Greek feminine noun 4561 sarx which was 147 times translated into English “flesh” 2 times into “carnal” and 1 time into “carnally”. English “mind” and “minded” in Romans 8:5-8 were translated from Greek verb 5426 phroneo and Greek neuter noun 5427 phronema respectively.

Just know that Jesus was excoriating Peter for thinking the flesh thoughts and feelings of men rather than God’s spiritual thoughts and ways 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”. In John 6:63 Jesus 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”.

Would Jesus’ words to Peter “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men” apply to the flesh grammatical objects of the flesh grammatical subjects leading the world’s 4,351 religions?

Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

English “account” emboldened in Romans 14:12 was mistranslated from Greek masculine noun 3056 logos which was translated into English “word” throughout the bible and into English “Word’ in John 1:1 and 14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth”. English “truth” in John 1:14 was translated from Greek feminine noun 225 aletheia from a compound of Greek negative particle 1 a synonymous with English “un” or “not” and Greek verb 2990 lanthano which means to hide by covering. In context God’s full definition of Greek verb 2990 lanthano means to hide God’s intrinsic spiritual truth by covering it with flesh thoughts and feelings. God’s full definition of Greek feminine noun 225 aletheia means God’s intrinsic spiritual truth is not covered and hidden by flesh thoughts and feelings. Greek feminine noun 225 aletheia applies to “seven thousand” “election”. Greek verb 2990 lanthano applies to the other 8 billion human beings who should contemplate Romans 14:12 and consider the possibility that their flesh thoughts and feelings are incompatible with God’s spiritual truth.

Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

English “shall confess” emboldened in Romans 14:11 was translated from Greek verb 1843 exomologeo from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting origin and Greek verb 3670 homologeo from a compound of Greek adverb 3674 homou meaning to be in the same place at the same time and Greek masculine noun 3056 logos which was translated into English “word” throughout the bible and into English “Word’ in John 1:1 and 14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth”. In the context of John 1:1 and 14 Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting origin is obviously God and only God can perform the action of Greek verbs 1843 exomologeo and 3670 homologeo causing “seven thousand” “election” to be together with God’s Word and the key is “In the beginning was the Word” being the beginning of time and the Word was God. In the beginning the Old Testament was hand written in Hebrew on animal skin parchments between the 7^th century BC until around 200 BC and the New Testament was handwritten in Greek on papyrus scrolls in 325 AD. James Strong invested nearly 50 years of his life translating 783,137 English King James Bible words back to their recurring 8,674 Hebrew and 5,624 Greek origins. I want to show you that the ten letters of Greek verb ἐξομολογέω were transliterated into the ten corresponding English letters of the Strong’s number 1843 exomologeo which is a compound of 1537 ek 3674 homou 3056 logos and God will define all five words for whoever follows God’s 2Timothy 2:15 directive “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 1843 exomologeo 1537 ek 3670 homologeo 3674 homou and 3056 logos and this process works for a plethora of other final languages.

Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

English  “dost” “set at nought” emboldened in Romans 14:10 was translated from Greek verb 1848 exoutheneo which best reflects God’s perspective when it was translated into English “despised” in Luke 18:9-14 “And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others” “Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican” “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican” “I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess” “And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner” “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted”. English “unjust” and “justified” emboldened above were translated from Greek adjective 94 adikos and Greek verb 1344 dikaioo respectively. Greek adjective 94 adikos describes and qualifies human beings who are not right per God’s definition of right. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo which means to make right per God’s definition of right. Understanding of Romans 14:10 will be further enhanced by understanding 2Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad”. English “good” emboldened in 2Corinthians 5:10 was translated from Greek adjective 18 agathos. Matthew 19:17 Mark 10:18 and Luke 18:19 all confirm there is none good/agathos but one, that is, God. Repeat: there is none good/agathos but one, that is, God. There are 4,351 world religions but there is none good/agathos but one, that is, God. Whereby 2Corinthians 5:10 declares 4,351 world religions to be “bad” which was translated from Greek adjective 2556 kakos which describes and qualifies human beings who do and superimpose what God defines as “evil” things. Greek adjective 2556 kakos was translated into English “evil” in James 1:13 and James 3:6-10 respectively “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man”. “And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell” “For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind” “But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison” “Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God” “Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be”. If you understand nothing else about the bible understand this! English “nature” emboldened in James 3:6 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1078 genesis which is the moment of our birth. The English false narrative “hell” emboldened in James 3:6 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1067 geenna which is the English transliteration of the Hebrew valley of the son of Hinnom containing Jerusalem’s garbage pit where Jesus advised us to cast any “members” that offends God’s spirit. In the context of James 3:6-10 the “member” is the tongues of men which instigated and perpetuated the false narrative 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 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 noun 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 noun 86 hades is the impossibility of seeing through God’s spiritual eyes and knowing through God’s spiritual thoughts when a grammatical object has any grammatical subject other than God. Molech is the god of the Ammonites and Phoenicians to whom some Israelites sacrificed their infants in the valley of Hinnom. God in Jeremiah 32:35 said “And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin”. The bible is designed to cause believers of hell to be “snared and taken” and removed from God’s process pursuant to God’s will defined in 1Timothy 2:3-6. Isaiah 28:13-18 reaffirms everything God said in this paragraph “But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken” “Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem” “Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves” “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste” “Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place” “Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place” “And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.” “From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report”. 

Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

Amazingly, there are no individual English words in Romans 14:7-9 that change the meaning of the Greek words from which they were translated to the extent that reconciliation is required. Suffice it to say that during this earth age there is flesh life and death and there is spiritual life and death which is fairly well explained in Revelation 20:4-6 “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and 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”. We have proved in prior posts that the “beast” of Revelation 20:4 is any spiritual grammatical subject other than God. God’s “seven thousand” “election” achieve the first resurrection during this earth age and 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”. Everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” are the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 and are subsequently susceptible to the second death of Revelation 20:6. Fear not, “seven thousand” “election” will cause the rest of humanity “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” “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 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

English “that he may eat” emboldened in Romans 14:2 was translated from the Greek verb 5315 phago while “him that eateth” in Romans 14:3 and English “eateth” emboldened in Romans 14:2, 3, 6 & 20 were all translated from the Greek verb 2068 esthio. Greek verb 5315 phago literally means to chew food, swallow it, digest it and pass it through your intestines and out your colon. Greek verb 2068 esthio is the ingestion of spiritual food that enters into the heart, soul and mind. Jesus explains God’s delineation in Matthew 15:1-20 and Mark 7:6-23.

Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

English “day” emboldened in Romans 14:6 were both translated from the Greek feminine noun 2250 hemera which was most insightfully translated into English “day” in 2Peter 3:8-10 “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” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up”. “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing” “the day of the Lord” is the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. God’s “seven thousand” “election” “shall” “come unto the knowledge of the truth” during this earth age and “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” when they will cause “the rest” {more than 8 billion other human beings} “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.    

If you search the English bible word “sower” you will be led to the parable of the seed sower. God is the sower. The seed is “the word of God”. God temporarily bestows his spirit {Greek noun 5485 charis} unto all human beings at a time of God’s choosing, then God casts his word unto earth and those human beings who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways continue in God’s process. Human beings who change God’s spiritual thoughts and ways of truth in deference to their own flesh thoughts and feelings God removes his temporary spirit {Greek noun 5485 charis} from 8 billion human beings and removes 8 billion human beings from God’s process during this earth age pursuant to God’s will to protect them from Matthew 12:32. The human beings who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways continue in God’s process until they either fail God’s test or God permanently endows them with God’s spirit {Greek noun 5486 charisma}. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. It is not possible for God’s “election” to know if God has permanently endowed them with God’s spirit {Greek noun 5486 charisma} until they take their last flesh breath. It is not possible for God’s “election” to know if they have completed transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways until they take their last flesh breath. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “election” perceive themselves as empty earthen vessels that God can fill with what God needs to bring God’s will to fruition. There is no hatred greater than believing in hell. There is no love greater than investing one’s last flesh thought in bringing 1Timothy 2:3-4 to fruition.
