Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Our Idenitity

     Since my last posting I have discovered many areas of confusion among the elect if that is a real thought when dealing with Scriptures. For that reason I will take another look at 1 Corinthians 15 verse 22 beginning at verse 20 through 28 to get the full thought using everyone's favorite KJV.

1Corinthians 15:22 of 20-28 "For now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die (G599), even so in Christ shall all (G3956) be made alive (G2227). But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; Afterward they that are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to GOD, even the Father; When He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (G2288). For He having put all things under His feet. For when He said 'all things are put under Him,' it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him. And when all things shall be subdued to Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject to Him that put all things under Him, that GOD may be all in all."  

Now as you can see I have tagged a few words with the Strong's Word numbering for our convince. Starting at the first: G599, apothnēskō, is from G575 [apo, means, denotes reversal] and G2348 [thnēskō, a strengthened form of a simpler primary word θάνω thanō, to be counted as dead, to die]; to die off.

Next we have G3956, pas, means, all (manor of means), whosoever.

Then we have G2227, zōopoieō, from the same as G2226 [zōon, a living thing] and G4160 [poieō, a prolonged form of an obsolete primary; to make or do.]; make alive, quicken.

The last one is G2288, thanatos, from G2348 [thnēskō, this shown above.]; (properly an adjective used as a noun) death.

So who is it that is to die off? Could it be those who do not know their origin nor their true identity?

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1.4 Idenitity

     Continuing with Hebrews 13:20-21 where we fine this stated: "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

Now for the KJV+: "NowG1161 theG3588 GodG2316 of peace,G1515 that brought againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498 ourG2257 LordG2962 Jesus,G2424 that greatG3173 shepherdG4166 of theG3588 sheep,G4263 throughG1722 the bloodG129 of the everlastingG166 covenant,G1242
Heb 13:21 make you perfectG2675 G5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 to doG4160 HisG848 will,G2307 workingG4160 inG1722 youG5213 that which is well-pleasingG2101 in His sight,G1799 G848 throughG1223 JesusG2424 Christ;G5547 To WhomG3739 be gloryG1391 for ever and ever.G1519 G165 G165 Amen.G281" 

I know that we have looked at this with attention to a few of the words used here, but there remains others of significance. Words like: "brought again" G321;  "from the dead" G3498; "through the blood" G129; "of the everlasting" G166; "covenant" G1242; "make you perfect" G2675 G5209; "working" G4160; "that which is well-pleasing" G2101; "in His sight" G1799 G848; "through" G1223. 

These are significant and worthy of our attention. So where do we go from here? How about from the top, (G321, anagō, is from  G303 [ana, In compounds (as a prefix) it often means (by implication) repetition, intensity, reversal, etc.] and G71 [agō, A primary verb; properly to lead; by implication to bring, drive, (reflexively) go, (specifically) pass (time), or (figuratively) induce: - be, bring (forth), carry, (let) go, keep, lead away, be open.]; to lead up; by extension to bring out; depart, launch (forth), lead (up), loose, offer, sail, set forth, take up.) 

From the dead, (G3498, nekros, from an apparently primary word νέκυς nekus (a corpse); dead.)

Through the blood, (G129, aima, Of uncertain derivation; blood, literally (of men or animals), figuratively (the juice of grapes) or specifically (the atoning blood of Christ); by implication bloodshed, also kindred:...identity) 

Of the everlasting, (G166, aiōnios, From G165 [aiōn, From the same as G104 {aei, from an obsolete primary noun (apparently meaning continued duration); “ever”; by qualification regularly; by implication earnestly:}; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): - age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end)]; perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well): - eternal,)

Covenant, (G1242, diathēkē, from G1303 [diatithemai, Middle voice from G1223 [dia, ] and G5087 [tithēmi, A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses) - + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.]; to put apart, that is, (figuratively) dispose (by assignment, compact or bequest)]; properly a disposition, that is, (specifically) a contract (especially a derisory will)

Make you perfect, (G2675 G5209 this we looked at in post 6.4.1.2 in some detail. )

Working, (G4160, poieō, a prolonged form of an obsolete primary; to make or do (in a very wide application, more or less direct): - abide, + agree, appoint, X avenge, + band together, be, bear, + bewray, bring (forth), cast out, cause, commit, + content, continue, deal, + without any delay, (would) do (-ing), execute, exercise, fulfil, gain, give, have, hold, X journeying, keep, + lay wait, + lighten the ship, make, X mean, + none of these things move me, observe, ordain, perform, provide, + have purged, purpose, put, + raising up, X secure, shew, X shoot out, spend, take, tarry, + transgress the law, work, yield.)

That which is well-pleasing, (G2101, euarestos, from G2095 [eu, Neuter of a primary word εὖς eus (good); (adverbially) well.] and G701 [arestos, from G700 {areskō, (through the idea of exciting emotion); to be agreeable (or by implication to seek to be so)}; agreeable; by implication fit:]; fully agreeable: - acceptable (-ted))

In His sight, (G1799 G848), (G1799, enōpion, Neuter of a compound of G1722 [en, A primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), that is, a relation of rest,] and a derivation of G3700 [optomai, The first a (middle voice) prolonged form of the second (primary) which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternates of G3708 [horaō, Properly to stare at (compare G3700), that is, (by implication) to discern clearly (physically or mentally); by extension to attend to; by Hebraism to experience; passively to appear:]; to gaze (that is, with wide open eyes, as at something remarkable;]; in the face of (literally or figuratively): - before, in the presence (sight) of;) Now for (G848, hautou, a contraction for G1438; self (in some oblique case or reflexive relation): - her (own), (of) him (-self), his (own), of it, thee, their (own), them (-selves), they.)

Lastly; Through, G1223 dia, A primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through (in very wide applications, local, causal or occasional). In composition it retains the same general import: - after, always, among, at, to avoid, because of (that), briefly, by, for (cause) . . . fore, from, in, by occasion of, of, by reason of, for sake, that, thereby, therefore, X though, through (-out), to, wherefore, with (-in).)

Why do I take the time and effort to seek these things out? Because that is just what we are all required to do....become a seeker!

Matthew 6:32-33 Jesus is here speaking; "'(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the kingdom of GOD, and His righteousness; And all these things shall be added to you.'" 

Matthew 7:7-8 Jesus is again quoted  here: "'Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and you shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened to you: For every one that asks receives; And he that seeks finds; And to him that knocks it shall be opened." 

Then we have Luke's rendition of these: Luke 12:29-31  "'And seek not what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be of a doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things. But rather seek the kingdom of GOD; and all these things shall be added to you.'"

In John 5:30 we find this: "'I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.'" And so it is with us all!

Okay, here's a question, of who's kindred are we of the origin of? Here's a hint Revelation 5:9; 1Cor. 6:20.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1.3 Idenitity

     By way of reminder we are doing a deep dive into what is brought out in Hebrews 13:20-21 which states this: "Now the GOD (Elohiym - Jesus Christ) of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." you"

While thinking on this early this morning the LORD dropped this into my awareness, 'I have begotten you.' So needless to say this caused me to ponder this for quite sometime before getting up to start my day. Wondering how that fit into what we have been learning of Him...Them. We now know that what was lost by the actions of Adam was the knowledge of our Oneness of Identity, this brought out in post 6.4f. After all most people know that Jesus is the reference in Psalm 2:7, which relates to this: 'I will declare the decree: the LORD having said to me,You art My Son; This day have I begotten you.'

With that said what He said to me this morning does it remain only with the LORD of Glory and Peace? For we find this in Psalm 148:6 "He has also established them for ever and ever (the word H5703, ‛ad, means, From H5710 [‛âdâh, A primitive root; to advance, that is, pass on or continue ]; properly a (peremptory) terminus, that is, (by implication) duration, in the sense of perpetuity (substantially as a noun, either with or without a preposition): - eternity): He having made a decree which shall not pass." 

     I did some looking into the OT to find the word "begotten" using the Strong's Word Dictionary of the OT and NT, which is H3205, what is meant by begotten or to beget? The Hebrew for H3205 is, yâlad, it's meaning is from; A primitive root; to bear young; causative to beget. Then I looked a bit farther and found this one: H4138, môledeth, from H3205, meaning, nativity (plural birth place); by implication lineage, native country; also offspring, family: - begotten, born, issue, kindred. Then there was another this being H3318, yâtsâ', meaning, A primitive root; to go (causative bring) out. So when we understand our identity and origin and that we have been brought through a great tribulation of the flesh suffered at the hands of men most wicked (they being both the religious and political heads of the day) and that we were in the humanity of our common origin as Christ in Jesus' flesh, blood and bone body, which houses the image and likeness that we all carry within us. Is this making sense?

     How about what is spoken in Acts 13:33-34 "GOD having fulfilled the same to us (Their) children, in that They have raised us in Jesus again; As it is also written in the second Psalm, 'You art My Son, this day have I begotten you.' And as concerning that They raised (Humanity) up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, They said on this wise, 'I will give you the sure mercies of David.'" (This word begotten is G1080, gennaō, means, a variation of G1085, genos, [from G1096, ginomai, A prolonged and middle form of a primary verb; to cause to be (“gen” -erate), that is, (reflexively) to become (come into being), to be raised]; “kin”; to procreate (properly of the Father,); figuratively to regenerate: to be delivered.)

     Does this fit the narrative of Hebrews 13:20-21? Or that of the following Epistles; Paul's, John's in 1, 2 and 3 and Peter's 1 and 2. The NT record points us to this. Also the record of John's visions of Revelation prove this. It is GOD (Elohiym) Who works within us to perfect us to do GOD'S Will, this not of our own efforts as that would be self efforts, works of the flesh and we could glorify ourselves by such! Does this dispel the religious methods of condemnation's working of the flesh, I think so!

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1.2 Idenitity

     Today, I begin to pull from the past scriptures in an effort to confirm all that GOD promised Humanity by using the Israelite's as a surrogate for the word Humanity. This based on Hebrews 13:20-21 and verses 8-10. This reminds me of Hebrews 6:17-20 and Titus 1:2 which reads: Heb 6:17-20, "Thus GOD, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for GOD to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entered into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec...Titus 1:2, For hope of Eternal Life, which GOD, that cannot lie, promised before the world began."  

With these things standing the test of time I shall now pull from a few key passages of Scripture based in the OT, passages like Jeremiah 31: 31, 33 which reads: Jeremiah 31:31 "'Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a New Covenant with the house (humanity) of Israel, and with the house of Judah... 33, For this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house (humanity) of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put My law (of grace, truth and love) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their GOD, and they shall be My people.'

Then we find this in Ezekiel 36:26-27, "'A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes (of grace, truth and love), and you shall keep My judgments, and do them.'" And for good measure I shall add Numbers 23:19 to the mix which states: "GOD is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: has He not said, and shall He not do it? or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?"

Now with keeping with our Identity being restored to its former glory I shall add a few of King David's Psalms to this: Psalm 26:1, 3, 11 "Judge me, O LORD; For I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted in the LORD; Therefore I shall not slide....For Your loving kindness are before mine eyes: and I have walked in Your Truth....But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be Merciful to me." (Within the context of the last passage we fine two words of interest they are H8537 translated as integrity and H6299 translated as Redeem. H8537, tôm, From H8552 [tâmam, to complete, be clean, be (make) perfect,]; completeness; figuratively prosperity; usually (morally) innocence: - full, integrity, perfect (-ion). Now for H8537, redeem, pâdâh, A primitive root; to sever, that is, ransom; generally to release [from religious oppression, suppression, indoctrination, bondage], preserve: -  X at all, deliver, X by any means, ransom, (that are to be, let be) redeem (-ed), rescue, X surely.)

Now another from Psalm 41:12-13, As for me, You uphold me in mine integrity, and sets me before Your face for ever. Blessed is the LORD God of (humanity of Their Identity) Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen." (In this passage we fine the word face H6440, pânı̂ym, from H6437, pânâh, means to turn to face the subject.)

Enough said that I shall let you stew on these things for a while. No, I wont, lets take another look at Hebrews 13:20-21, as I did not break it down for our learning: Hebrews 13:20-21 "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." (Now you know that I have a few words and phrases that bear our attention and this passage is no different. The first is translated as perfect, it is composed of two words:( G2675 and G5209; G2675, katartizō, to repair, [From G2596, kata, to gather, and a derivative of G739, artios, to complete, from G737,arti, present, an  Adverb from a derivative of G142, airō, to lift, take up, lift away]; to complete thoroughly, that is, repair, prepare and restore.) Now for G5209 humas, translated you, humanity, [an Accusative of G5210, humeis, yourself, our Identity, from an Irregular plural of G4771, su, The personal pronoun of the second person singular; thou:]) Our next word is translated as well-pleasing, G2101, euarestos, fully agreeable, acceptable; [From G2095, eu, Neuter of a primary word εὖς eus (good), done;  and G701, arestos, From G700, areskō, from G142 (through the idea of exciting emotion); to be agreeable; agreeable; by implication fit:]. Our third word is translated as sight, G1799, enōpion, Neuter of a compound of G1722, en, a fixed position, and a derivation of G3700, optomai, to gaze (that is, with wide open eyes, as at something remarkable); in the face of (literally or figuratively): - before, in the presence (sight) of.)  Then we have the last phrase of "to Whom be glory for ever and ever." This has the great escape within the context our calling out of plant earth In these words G3739, G1391, G1519, G165, G165.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1.1 Idenitity

     We are still on Hebrews 13:20-21 which states this in the KJV:  "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

     Now I would like to back up within this chapter to verses 7 through 10 where we find this in the KJV: Hebrews 13:7 -10 of 7 - 16 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of GOD: Whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; Not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. For we have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle."

     Now to see what the "Mirror Study Bible" has to say about this passage of: Hebrews 13:7-10 "Be mindful of those who guide you in the revelation of GOD'S word; Follow their faith, consider the conclusion of their lives. (Do not follow a counterfeit! This would be someone who fakes faith while actually living the law.) Take your lead from Jesus. He is our reference to the most complete life. In  Him yesterday is confirmed today and today mirrors tomorrow. What GOD spoke to us in Christ is as relevant now as it was in the prophetic past and will always be in the eternal future! ( Jesus is same yesterday, today, and forever; There is a history to our salvation that carries more authority and relevance than anything that ever happened in our past, or anything present in time or still to happen in the future. Imagine the enormity of eternity in His sameness before time was; And we were there in Him all along! Romans 8:34 What further ground can there possibly be to condemn humanity? In His death He faced our Judgment; in His Resurrection He declared our restored innocence (Identity and integrity as we will soon see); The implications cannot be undone! He now occupies the highest seat of authority as the executive of our redemption in the Throne room of GOD. (Rom. 8:1, also 4:25) The heavens declare His Glory, night to night exhibits the giant solar testimony that is mathematically precise, revealing that GOD knew before time was the exact moment He would enter our history as a man, and the exact moment the Messiah would expire on the Cross and be raised from the dead!) Do not be swayed by distracting speculations. Any influence foreign to what grace communicates, even if it seems very entertaining and carries the Christian label, is to be shunned. Feast on grace; Do not dilute your diet with legalism. There is no nourishment left in the Mosaic Law. What's the use of being busy but not blessed? ( Legalism includes any form of self-sacrifice or self effort with the illusion of gaining further favor from GOD or improving your spiritual standing before GOD.) For us there is only one alter and one sacrifice; We can never again confuse Him with the rituals of the old redundant systems. It seems that some would like to eat the meat of their own sacrifices and at the same time indulge in the benefits of Grace. This is not possible. ( It is like trying to go opposite directions at the same time.)

With all that is herein stated I will in our next post draw from some of the old testament scriptures that prove our Identity / integrity being renewed by redemption's work. From Ezekiel, Psalms and Jeremiah, to name but a few.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1 Idenitity

                                                Humanity's Identity

With this post I will draw from a combination of two passages of Scripture as I did back when all was new in our start up. To start these will be in part or  in whole as dictated by the wording of the overall thought.

Hebrews 10:1-2 and then Colossians 2:16-19,these being in the KJV, so here goes:

"For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offered continually year by year, make those who approach perfect; For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. ......Therefore let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are only a shadow of things to come, for the substance is Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of GOD."

Now for the Mirror Study Bible's rendition of these same passages without the accompanying interpretations, expect where it enhances the passage: "For the law presented to us a faint shadow, outlining the promise of the blessings anticipated in the coming of Christ, even detailing its future significance. The mere sketch however, could never be confused with the actual object that it represented. The annual sacrificial rites as shadow of the eventual object would always leave the worshiper feeling inadequate and be a reminder year after year of the sinfulness of humanity....Do not let anyone therefore bring a restriction to your freedom by reviving religious rules and regulations pertaining to eating and drinking; All Jewish festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths have come to an end in Christ! (As there relevance only served to remind of the promise of Christ on an annual, monthly, and weekly basis. They carried the promise like a placenta would hold the unborn child, but obsolete as soon as the child was born.) These things were only prophetic shadows; Christ is the substance. A religious mentality of voluntary humility and obsession with pious observances of angles will bring you no further reward. So do not let anyone who tries to act as an umpire of your devotion insist on his own opinion, confined to a mind inflated by the sensational and spooky; His so called visions are just a puff of hot air. [(In his judgment he fails to correctly interpret the legal implications of the Cross.) "Don't tolerate people who try to run your life, ordering you to bow and scrape, [in order to improve your standing before and in GOD] insisting that you join their obsession with angles and that you seek out visions. They're a lot of hot air, that's all they are.'] Such religious jargon is completely out of rhythm with the head. We are directly connected to Christ Who like a choir conductor draws out the music in everyone like a tapestry of art that intertwines in harmony to reveal the full stature of divine inspiration. (Which is Christ in you, The word, G2023, epichoregeo, translated as, having nourishment ministered, is choir director. [2Peter 1:11] Thus, the great Conductor of music will draw your life into the full volume of the harmony of the ages.)

Within the context of many of my comments and thoughts postings on FB I have expressed much of this already. Isn't interesting how GOD perfects His will within us.

                                                   Humanity's Identity Restored

   Today's blog will deal with a word that is not within the context of Scripture, it being given to me in the wee hours of this morning while my mind was at ease and in perfect peace. This word is "identity," the Merriam - Websters has this as a definition, taken from #3, a and b: a: sameness of essential or generic character in different instances; and, b: sameness in all that constitutes the objective reality of a thing: ONENESS.! 

The word history and etymology reflects this: middle French identite, from Late Latin identitat,- identitas, probably from Latin identidem repeatedly, contraction of idem et idem, literally, meaning, same and same. This dictionary also listed many examples, such as: //The identity of the criminal is not known. //They produced their passports as proof of their identities. //As children grow, they establish their own identities. //People who seem to lack individual identity.

     Now I would like to say that when two (male and female, the pattern given) take on marriage, the female often takes on the identity of the husband by taking on his surname, example: Maynard or Cook. This in effect is a covenant between the two, where GOD is the unseen partner in both of them. This is also part of a hidden meaning in Elohiym as we have already discovered. (Then there's the science of conception where the females body does not share the blood of mom's body with the fetus within her womb, only the males blood is known to exist here, by design. Which is a key to what flows.) This was covered in our study of Genesis 1:26-28, where I failed to include Seth, the third son of Adam in Genesis 5:3. Where we find, this son of Adam was in his image, while Cain and Abel were not listed [?] why not? Then we find a host of warnings against the use of "images," most dealing with false deities. This brought to our attention by Paul in Romans 1:23 where he shares: "changed the glory of the uncorruptible GOD into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things." Paul then picks things up in Romans 8:29, which for the blind has caused many a problem because they know not their origin....ie. their"identity." I this know through experience with others of the clergy, better trained and qualified. Even after reading many times the book of John why? Because with its ready they have also mixed religious doctrines of the OT, which we are warned not to do because of the veil once rent, no, make that twice rent.Because the Jews repaired the first and it was again rent from top to bottom by GOD. Signifying the death of the Old Law of Moses... and the covenant contained within it. (Romans 1:28, 8:7-8, Col. 1:21; Is. 44:18-20, 46:5-8; Acts 26:17-18, Acts 26:17-18, 2Cor. 4:4, Jude 1:11, now here's the hard one in the KJV: 2Cor. 3:5-15, 16 "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; For our sufficiency is of GOD; Who also has made us able ministers of the New Testament; Not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, but the Spirit give life. For if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; Which glory was to be done away: how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. For if that which was done away was glorious, much more that which remains is more glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which was abolished: for their minds were blinded: for until this day there remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; Which vail was done away in Christ. For even to this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 

Nevertheless when we shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.")

     I shall for the sake of argument show this in the KJV beginning at Romans 8 with verses 28 through 30: "For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinated (designed) to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate (pre-designed), them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorifies." (Now let it be known that the word predestinated is G4309 and because it shows up twice within the same thought it is important for our learning. [G4309, proorizō, is from G4253,[pro, a primary preposition; “fore”, that is, in front of, prior (figuratively superior) to.] and G3724, [horizō, is from G3725, horion; of a derivative of an apparently primary word ὅρος horos (a bound or limit); to mark out or boundary (“horizon”), that is, (figuratively) to appoint, decree, specify: - declare, determine, limit, ordain to.]; to limit in advance, that is, (figuratively) predetermine: - determine before, ordain, predestinate.)

Okay, now I will turn to the Mirror Study Bible to catch it's rendition of the same passages of Romans 8:28-30: "Meanwhile we know that the love of GOD causes everything to mutually contribute to our advantage. His Master Plan is announced in our original identity. (Calling according to His purpose, G2822, kale, means to surname, to identify by name.) He pre-designed and engineered us from the start to be jointly fashioned in the same mold and image of His Son according to the exact blueprint of His thought (as seen in Genesis 1:26-28). We see the original and intended pattern of our lives preserved in His Son. He is the firstborn from the same womb that reveals our genesis. He confirms that we are the invention of GOD. ( We were born anew when He was raised from the dead! [1Peter 1:3] His resurrection co-reveals our common genesis as well as our redeemed innocence. [Rom. 4:25 also Acts 17:31] No wonder then that He is not ashamed to call us His brethren and friends! We share the same origin [Heb. 2:11], and, "In Him we live and move and have our being, we are indeed His offspring!" [Acts 17:28].) Jesus revealed that we pre - existed in GOD; He defined us. He justifies us and also glorifies us. He redeemed our innocence and restored the glory that Adam lost. ( As in Romans 3:23-24, G629, prooritso, pre - defined, like when an architect draws up a detailed plan; kaleo, to surname, identify by name.)

What is to come, I don't know at this point therefore I leave that up to GOD most faithful. You do know that when I say GOD I mean Elohiym the true "trinity," even though denied to be such by our Jewish friends.
