John 5:39-47 - How to be reborn as Jesus
Verse 39 begins with a capitalized Eraunate , which in the second-person becomes an important instruction for “you” to “Investigate” or “Search, Seek, Examine those scriptures” or “documents” of “holy writings.” Following verse 38, where realization of “him” within is the only way to know the meaning of divine texts, those who do not “believe” or lack faith are those who do not “Examine those holy writs” that are the Word of Yahweh, written by Apostles-Saints reborn as the

John 5:31-38 - Divine Possession
Veres 31 begins with a capitalized Ean , which makes an important statement about that Before,” or announces an “Except”-ion to that stated prior, about “this choice of this of having sent me.” This is then relative to “me,” as a first-person statement leading to “I witness, I testify,” and “I affirm that one has experienced” “me.” This then says one has become different than “Before,” as then “Except” from the way one was. This is not thought through imagination but known

John 5:24-30 - Divine marriage and born again from above
This series of verses begins with verse 24 stating (once again as capitalized importance), “Truly.” This says that which follows (as with everything stated by Yahweh through the Son) is an important truth that must be discerned. Following a comma mark, that truth says, “surely (a lower-case amēn ) I call (or “speak, give, utter, lay forth”) to yourselves (a “self” is a “soul”) because this topic (or “speech, communication, word, something said”) of me hearing (or “listeni

John 5:19-23 - Explaining the relationship of Father to Son
In response to the known plots of the “Jews” or Pharisees that could not see the evil they worshiped as motivating their actions, verse 19 begins by importantly stating “Responded he then this Jesus,” where the capitalized Apekrinato is an important “Answer” given by “him” who is “this Jesus.” Because the name is not bracketed, this can be seen as Jesus coming to confront the “Jews,” in “Response” to their thinking Jesus was “equating himself made to this God.” Still, the

John 5:16-18 - [Jesus] speaks for the Father
This section of John’s fifth chapter appears to be Jesus being confronted by the Pharisees (the Judaism police), where he explained the relationship of a Father to a Son. This is most important to grasp firmly. For that reason, the literal translation will be the main focus here, rather than the translation found in Bibles presenting typical English translations of the Greek.

John 5:10-15 – Being one with Jesus
In John 5:1-9 we are told of a lame man at the pool of Bethesda. We translate that the man was going there for “thirty-eight years,” as if his whole life had been spent laying by the pool. In reality, what is written is “ triakonta kai oktō echōn en tē astheneia autou .” The presence of the kai should be read as a marker of importance, not a conjunction with the word “thirty.” That which is important to grasp is “eight years in to this infirmity [frailty, weakness, s

God's Love is Jesus
The New International Version (NIV) that is read in Episcopal churches says, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”. (Matthew 5:43-44)

John 21:15-19 Do you Agapas Jesus?
I read a meme that was shared by the Episcopal Church, which took John 21 (verses 15 through 19), and changed Peter to modern American Christians (I presume), as if Jesus asked them if they loved Jesus. It was such hogwash that I did not bother to copy it to paste here.

The Philosopher's Stone
There is a show on the History Channel, hosted by a nonagenarian actor who has to sit on a stool as he pretends to be all wise, when the name of the show is Unexplained . The whole premise of the show is to point out how little big brains know, especially when it pertains to well-documents things that were witnessed in the past, but cannot be explained how such things took place.

Matthew 18:20 and the “church”
This morning the local Baptist church that pays for a timeslot on a local television station has the minister preach about Matthew 18:20. He related that verse to the prior four verses, which say what a member of a church should do when found out that “brother” is a sinner. He mentioned how there were few members in that church who would be brave enough to take that confrontational responsibility on. So, he felt it important to spend forty minutes explaining how those vers

Philippians 2:9-11; Above every name
In my local community is a Baptist affiliated mega-church, which I drive by regularly in my local trips to here and there. The pastor pays for a 30-minute Sunday morning slot at the local television station and his sermons are shown as a week delayed taping. Because he is local, I doubt his taped sermons go beyond the reaches of the local television station; but who knows? Maybe he is syndicated and his sermons are shown around the world.

Quick synopsis of the Parable of the Ten Virgins
Recently, I have been seeing just how profound Jesus telling the Parable of the Ten Virgins is. It is not as if I have not seen profound meaning in that parable before, it is that it has been coming up more frequently in example after example that I write, based on the necessity of one’s soul to divinely marry Yahweh, in order for a soul to be saved.

Parable of the Ten Virgins (Teaching lesson)
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them; 4 but the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps. 5 Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep. 6 But at midnight [a]there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’
