Looking for Paul

[JLG]

“the work of every man must be revealed by the Fire which will separate it”

“and he whose work shall remain, he who builds receives the reward,”

“and he whose work shall burn, he shall lack, yet, he will be saved, but thusly; as from Fire.”

- Once again, acting is a necessity but not not enough!

- It must be accepted by God!

- Thus we must work according to God's will!

- And we must keep doing it!

- If we stop doing it, it’s good for nothing!

- We get so many examples in the Bible!

 

[JLG]

“Do you not know that you are The Temple of God, and The Spirit of God dwells in you?”

- What a responsibility!

- Apparently too hard for the majority!

- We should think about that every day!

- Thus it could help us behave according to such a responsibility!

- I can look everywhere in the world, I don’t see that!

- NOWHERE!

- SIMPLE WORDS: “WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN US”

 

[JLG]

- For Paul it is clear, “the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God”!

- We should be conscious of that if we want to get closer to Yah.weh!

- The world is so far away from Yah.weh!

- He adds the wise are emptiness!

- For that reason, man shouldn’t boast in the sons of men!

- But they keep doing it!

- We should also never forget that we are of the Christ or Messiah and the Christ or Messiah is of God!

 

[JLG]

- In 2 Corinthians chapter 3, Paul uses such words as “written in our hearts”, “that is written not in ink, but rather, in the Spirit of the Living God; not with Tablets of Stone, but rather, with Tablets of The heart”, “our strength is from God”,

- Does it speak to you?

- Something from the inside, not from the surface!

- Something this world has no idea of!

- Something which is not natural!

- Something we must learn to practice if we want to get closer to Yah.weh!

- Forget everything we learnt and start from scratch again to really get deep inside!

 

[JLG]

- Paul tells us that The Scripture kills but The Spirit gives life!

- In the same way, there is the ministry of condemnation and The ministry of Righteousness!

- The second one is more abundant in glory!

- The second one means abundant Hope for us!

- The sons of Israel were blind in their understanding!

- But the Spirit of Yah.weh frees us!

- Thus we must take the right path!

- If we are not free, we are not on the right path!

- Each time we must feel more freedom connected to more action and activity!

 

[JLG]

- In Romans chapter 4, Paul reminds us of the importance of our faith!

- Thus, he speaks about the importance of Abraham’s faith!

“blessedness is for those whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sins are covered,
and blessedness is for the man whom God doesn't count sin unto him.”

- Yes, unrighteousness is forgiven and sins are covered by God!

- But of course, for that, we must deserve it!

- Paul opposes The Sign for the circumcised to The Seal of The Righteousness of Faith!

- But we must demonstrate this Faith!

- Abraham received The promise unto his Seed because of The Righteousness of his Faith!

- Abraham demonstrated his Faith by offering his son to Yah.weh!

- Thus everybody is concerned by the Promise Abraham received unto his Seed!

- But we must demonstrate our Faith in the blood of Jesus!

 

[JLG]

- In 1 Corinthians chapter 4, Paul says we are Ministers of Messiah and house stewards of The Mysteries of God!

- Thus we must represent Jesus and Yah.weh!

- House steward is quite visual!

- A house steward must be ready to DO ANYTHING INSIDE THE HOUSE OF HIS MASTER!

- HE IS IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING INSIDE THE HOUSE!

 

[JLG]

- In 2 Corinthians chapter 4, Paul says: “we are not deceitful with The Word of God, but rather, with The Revelation of The Truth!

- Here Paul tells us that there are two ways, not three or four or many!

- We must choose one, the right one or the wrong one!

- It’s up to us!

- “whom the god of this age has blinded, concerning their understanding, so that they would not believe; so that The Light of The Good Message of The Glory of The Anointed One, He who is The Image of God, wouldn't shine unto them!

- Thus the devil is doing his best to prevent us from choosing the right track!

- But that is no excuse!

 

[JLG]

- Yet, in every thing we are constrained, but, we are not strangled;
- we are beaten, but, we are not guilty;
- we are persecuted, but, we are not abandoned;
- we are thrown down, but, we are not ruined.

- Here Paul tells us that there is always a door open!
- The door is never closed!
- But the option is often left to us!
- We must get through the door!
- The others won’t do it for us!
- Remember Lot and his wife and his daughters!
- Lot got through!
- His daughters got through!
- But his wife didn’t!

 

[JLG]

- But the option is always left to us!

 

[JLG]

2 corinthians 4:13

13 We also therefore, who each have The Rukha d'Haymanutha {The Spirit of Faith}; for, as it is written that, “I believe, because of this, I also speak.” We are believing, because we also are speaking,

Biblehub

And in keeping with what is written: “I believed, therefore have spoken,” we ho have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore (consequently) speak,

- Interesting, having the Spirit of Faith means believing and speaking!

- Believing is deeply connected to speaking!

- Thus no speaking, no believing!

- Or to demonstrate our faith, we must speak about it!

- IF WE REMAIN SILENT, WE HAVE NO FAITH!

- IN FACT, WE ARE GOOD TO NOTHING!

- OR IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE USELESS!

- THINK ABOUT THE RECONSTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM!

- HARD WORKERS WERE REQUIRED!

 

[JLG]

- In Romans chapter 5, Paul connects afflictions and patience and experience and hope!

- Thus, we must learn from the four elements, but not only one!

- When we think about faithful servants of Yah.weh, we may remember these four elements and how they help faithful servants of Yah.weh to be more efficient and useful to Yah.weh!

- Once again, these four elements are all necessary to make us better servants of Yah.weh and we need to take advantage of each of them without forgetting one!

 

[civic]

- Paul tells us that The Scripture kills but The Spirit gives life!

- In the same way, there is the ministry of condemnation and The ministry of Righteousness!

- The second one is more abundant in glory!

- The second one means abundant Hope for us!

- The sons of Israel were blind in their understanding!

- But the Spirit of Yah.weh frees us!

- Thus we must take the right path!

- If we are not free, we are not on the right path!

- Each time we must feel more freedom connected to more action and activity!

Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. He came to set the captives free. Amen

 

[JLG]

Romans 5:12

for, as through the one son of man, sin entered into the alma {the world}, and through sin, mawtha {death}, and thus in every son of man, mawtha {death} was transferred into all those who sinned,

- Death was transferred into all those who sinned!

- We are used to dying, it seems to be natural for men!

- But here Paul uses the verb transferred showing how unnatural it is!

- We should be living forever!

- And we shouldn’t get old!

- We should live forever young!

- Yah.weh offers us this opportunity to fulfill his initial promise!

- Of course, we have to earn it!

 

[JLG]

Romans 5:14

But, mawtha {death} reigned from Adam, and until Mushe {Moses}, even over those who didn't sin in the type of transgression of The Law, of Adam, that one who was a type of that One who was destined to come.

- Death reigned from Adam until Moses!

- And we keep dying!

- Of course, Jesus died for our sins!

- But before he comes back, we keep dying!

- Reigning is an interesting verb because it presents death like a king!

- But as a king it will reign only for a limited time!

- Of course, we must do our part if we want to escape from its reign!

 

[JLG]

Romans 5:19

19 For, how that because the one son of man didn't obey, many became Khataye {Sinners}; thus also, because of the obedience of The One, many became Righteous.

- Obedience is central in our connection with Yah.weh!

- Adam didn’t obey Yah.weh but Jesus did!

- And man keeps following Adam!

- He will never understand!

- Like Lot’s wife!

- It is so simple and impossible to go against it!

- Find the mistake!

I don't get why you would use so much energy and time in just quoting scripture, instead of saying: Please read Acts 1, then make your comments on that chapter - please read Acts 2, make comments on that chapter, etc. We have Bibles, so it's totally unnecessary to quote chapter after chapter after chapter. Not only that, but probably most of us have our own Bible reading plan, so I for one, will not take the time to read all of your quoted chapters.
Can you please explain what you are accomplishing by doing that?

You seem to think that you're a professor "teaching" a class, talking or "teaching" almost 90% of the time - and that you like to hear yourself talk. This is not my understanding of what a forum is for. I hope you don't have conversations with people in the same way. They couldn't get a word in edgewise. I thought this was a give and take, not a give, give, give, etc.

- I simply share what I learn with others!

- Everybody is free to participate or not!

- I always try to answer commentaries if I have something to say or if there is something to say!

- Sorry, the "teaching " way you are talking about has nothing to do here!

 

[JLG]

Romans 5:21

21 so that as sin had reigned in mawtha {death}, thus Taybutha {Grace} will reign in Kenutha {Righteousness}, unto Khaye {Lives} which are eternal, by means of Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One}.

- On the one hand, sin and death are connected to the past!

- On the other hand, Grace and Righteousness are connected to the future!

- It is so easy to visualize the first part as it has been part of human history and we only know that!

- On the contrary, we have no idea of the second part!

- But we must work for it if we want to have a share!

 

[JLG]

1 Corinthians chapter 5:1

1 In short, it is reported that fornication is among you, and that this type of fornication isn't even named among the Khanphe {the Pagans}! That a son has taken {i.e. is having sexual relations with} his father’s wife!!

- Now if we compare today's practices, what should Paul say?

- He would condemn today’s practices!

- But today such practices are acceptable according to religion!

- It gives its support to leaders who have no morals and everybody agrees!

- It shows to what extent this world is light years away from Yah.weh!

- Thus it is not different from their followers!

- Thus they won’t be any surprise when Jesus comes back to clean this society!
