SHEEEEEit , Son !

Get off your high Horse and drink yer milk.

Seriously though Orthy , lets learn a basic lesson about not taking ourselves too seriously and get back to basics .Simplify your needs and you simplify your life. After all ,what does it profit a Dude to own a sh*t ton of stuff and live in fear of the Feds ? OR wherefore goest though Dude ? The righteous path is not a god complex in a pimped up recreational veeehickle.

NO . It is the Lilly of the field without the fear and damnation attachment courtesy of the council of Nicea, my man.

Jesus did not invent the Lilly , nor was he the first homey to check that sh** and see its beauty. Dude's have been wooing total Babe's with flowers for like ,Ever.

So if you think Im just going to drag my as* through your thread while you chill on your lazy boy with a super size coke and fries your gravely f***in' mistaken. You want to truck with the Angels ? get a hard dose of Humility and learn to laugh at your pain. Otherwise you aint goin' nowhere fast Yo.

Do you really think you could respect Jesus and take him seriously if he Rocked up in your drive way with half finished open heart surgery and said " I Died for you Bitches and this is how I suffer ! For what ?"

If he knocked on my door looking for sympathy I would tell that asshat exactly what a total screw up he is. Not that he ever will of course .

Nobody takes Monopoly Money at face value and tries to buy a Bigmac meal with it unless they are totally retarded. So why do people buy the Bible at face value and assume its gods voice ? Its just advertising for Horny inbred rabbi's who think they are chosen . Yeah right .

Keep the plastic toys and gift wrap , I'll eat a Burger but it wont be from the yellow arches . That's where the s**t comes out .

No , If I go face down on the Lilly to get a head scratch its because I give love as good as I get. Don't tell me you would not do the same for an assistant with the commitment. Eh ?

Do ya feel me ?

blue roller wrote:And one more thing . Speak for yourself first and use the other stuff as back up. Don't put the cart before the horse . Nobody wants to read scripture when they are taking a dump , unless they are anally retentive . Funny but true.

You know what happens to people who repress their s**t . It comes out in bricks , hard and painful ,instead of smooth and easy .

The body says what the mind refuses to see .

What does your body need ? how do you feed it ? Are you getting enough sun and exercise ? These are serious questions now . If you want me to make an effort to communicate with you ,you have to answers the Q's.

The best Therapy is Love and Laughter , but you wont get Jesus telling you that. No ,the Bible wants you running around in Circles processing their unresolved sh** for them.

blue roller wrote:You know Orthy , its like this in the plainest simplest way I can think of to explain it . But here's the paradox before the exposition. Humans here dont want simple , they want complex . Complex laws ,complex wives ,complex religious observance ,complex lives. Why ? Because they think being complex makes them special and different. So you have a planet full of people all trying to be special and all ending up exactly the same.

Complexity is just a fancy word for living a lie and using lies to prostitute and manipulate those around you . Call a human on their lies and they scream victim and play the pity card. Its all so very very predictable. The sameness of their excuses for failing to live an authentic and original life.

Lets call the Universe the Ocean and your planet the Beach . Every day you make castles in the sand because your god tells you you have to to live . Eventually the King tide washes it all away and you have to start again. Same sand ,same beach ,same routine .

One day a ship appears on the Horizon and heads for shore . It drops anchor and the captain rows to shore in his Dinghy watched suspiciously by  the people on the beach because he looks different. Strong ,free , independent ,somewhat aloof but with a kind and ready smile.

The people have never seen a ship before but he tells them that if they use the right tools they can build their own ship and sail the infinite sea. They write down his words and he leaves. They build churches to worship the stranger , hoping it will bring him back but no one is allowed to build their own ship because that would be disrespectful to the memory of the stranger . So no ships but plenty of worship and competing churches.

Eventually a clever young boy has a dream and walks away from the beach and in to the forest . He builds a small boat . When its finished , he rolls it down to the beach and makes ready to set sail . But the boat is seen by the priesthood and they confiscate it. Because if everyone starts building their own boat ,the priests will be out of a job . Sitting in their robes all day while the people slave for them.

But the people remember this greedy act and start to question the priesthood. The priests continue to burn any boat they find . Then they burn the forests to make damn sure no one finds their way off the beach . Eventually people figure out other materials to use instead , so the Priests form a corporation called Jesus and makes everyone worship him because Jesus says one day he will come with a BIG F***ing boat to take them away forever.

Pacified ,many give up building or dreaming of escape. They wait and wait and wait.

Two thousand years later a small team of scientists build a boat that gets off shore but they don't tell anyone what they found . Its a secret . Jesus will come soon the Churches say .Dont loose faith .Keep on giving .

In the meantime , many captains ,knowing the embargo on truth will get people killed or persecuted , meet people in secret and tell them this .

'You can build a boat to get off the beach or you can build a boat inside to explore the sea'. The sky captains as they are called share with anyone who will listen , how to build the boat within. Very few persevere because they don't like the hard work and the ridicule from friends and family. Then there is the trust issue. Used to lying to get what they want, the people don't trust the sky captains for telling the truth . They waver and fall back in to their old ways.

Soon enough they parrot the lies of the priest hood and the golden opportunity is lost.

Now the whole planet is burning and even the sea Burns from the pollution. The priest hood and the people , crucified by their own greed and denial , kill the planet and all hope is lost.

Because they chose the lie over freedom. They curse the captains for failing them and with their last breath they call them the Devil.

The Captains and their people weep as the planet dies , at a loss for words ,because using words to reason with humanity failed .

blue roller wrote:Humans ,Earth Humans that is, are sadly the product of their 'god ' in all his fallible absurdities .

But few there are who dare to question his authority by simply throwing away his book of laws and listening instead to their own conscience .

No. They scan the Lords word endlessly trying to make sense of words that are designed not to enlighten and empower , but to confuse and enslave.

But away from the madness of the Human Zoo , the wild animals and all the other creatures live in balance . They don't need gods instruction (read self destruction )manual because they actually don't go round killing indiscriminately like humans do.

But for those not easily swayed by Judeo/ Christian/muslim et al fear mongering garbage there is the new age conspiracy dogma's to latch on to . But as above they take everything they read at face value . I read it somewhere so it must be true.

None of it based on personal experience , just another blind route to a dead end street where lonely ,unfulfilled and increasingly neurotic people wallow in self pity . No resolution, Just recycled BS .

Few Sci fi fans get the message in Sci Fi . They clutch at the fantasy part and reject the science . They talk a lot about making journeys and having adventures but they never even go to the station let alone get on the train ! They want their reality to remain just a fantasy.

My efforts here are wasted and I came here to prove it just as I have at other forums . Humans don't want to think. They don't want to act . They just want to mope around all day and when confronted about their lack of courage ,they demonize those who are trying set them free !

They really do prefer the Devil they know . They want him to love them and think that if they are pathetic and desperate long enough ,their dysfunctional 'father' will embrace and accept them.

Yet after countless thousands of years of abuse they still put their faith in God. It wont work Orthy . You will take your misspent time figuring this out to the grave . Let it go .

The Universe is vast beyond any ET Species Imagining . But they accept it . Humans dont. They want their prison walls to remain defined by laws and flags and excuses and fear mongering. So as long as  Humans insist on their personal space remaining inviolate there will be no Contact , no shift in perspective . Just the same old poor me diatribe.

If you hit rock bottom when you are young and have the courage to say " I am not going there again ,time to move on" you can grow in to manhood/womanhood . You will grow in confidence and inner strength and attract like minded people to share life with. But no , most make excuses and just do the same thing again. Nothing cripples and enslaves better than self pity .

I have never said ET Contact will solve your problems but because that's what humans want with contact they pout and sulk when they dont get the 'royal treatment'. Freedom IS Royalty. Freedom is sovereignty . But humans want the palaces and robes and silly rituals in churches to feel important.

The only people on this planet who are free have no fixed abode . Tramps ,gypsies ,tribes people. Charlie Chaplin knew exactly what he was doing making people laugh with his Tramp. He ridiculed the Cops and the fops. He showed them for what they are. Tyrants drunk on power . Mean selfish immature cruel and spineless bullies.

Edward Snowden's New Revelations Are Truly Chilling

Former intelligence contractor and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden told the BBC's Panorama that the UK intelligence centre GCHQ has the power to hack phones without their owners’ knowledge.

In an interview with the BBC’s ‘Panorama’ which aired in Britain last week, Edward Snowden spoke in detail about the spying capabilities of the UK intelligence agency GCHQ. He disclosed that government spies can legally hack into any citizen’s phone to listen in to what’s happening in the room, view files, messages and photos, pinpoint exactly where a person is (to a much more sophisticated level than a normal GPS system), and monitor a person’s every move and every conversation, even when the phone is turned off. These technologies are named after Smurfs, those little blue cartoon characters who had a recent Hollywood makeover. But despite the cute name, these technologies are very disturbing; each one is built to spy on you in a different way:

“Dreamy Smurf”: lets the phone be powered on and off

“Nosey Smurf”:lets spies turn the microphone on and listen in on users, even if the phone itself is turned off

“Tracker Smurf”:a geo-location tool which allows [GCHQ] to follow you with a greater precision than you would get from the typical triangulation of cellphone towers.

“Paranoid Smurf”: hides the fact that it has taken control of the phone. The tool will stop people from recognising that the phone has been tampered with if it is taken in for a service, for instance.

Snowden says: “They want to own your phone instead of you.” It sounds very much like he means we are being purposefully encouraged to buy our own tracking devices. That kinda saved the government some money, didn’t it?

His revelations should worry anyone who cares about human rights, especially in an era where the threat of terrorism is used to justify all sorts of governmental crimes against civil liberties. We have willingly given up our freedoms in the name of security; as a result we have neither. We seem to have forgotten that to live as a free person is a basic human right: we are essentially free beings. We are born naked and without certification; we do not belong to any government nor monarchy nor individual, we don’t even belong to any nation or culture or religion- these are all social constructs. We belong only to the universe that created us, or whatever your equivalent belief. It is therefore a natural human right not to be not be under secret surveillance by your own government, those corruptible liars who are supposedly elected by and therefore accountable to the people.

The danger for law-abiding citizens who say they have nothing to fear because they are not terrorists, beware: many peaceful British protesters have been arrested under the Prevention Of Terrorism Act since its introduction in 2005. Edward Snowden‘s disclosure confirms just how far the attack on civil liberties has gone since 9/11 and the London bombings. Both events have allowed governments the legal right to essentially wage war on their own people, through the Patriot Act in the USA and the Prevention Of Terrorism Act in the UK. In Britain, as in the USA, terrorism and activism seem to have morphed into one entity, while nobody really knows who the real terrorists are any more. A sad but absolutely realistic fact of life in 2015: if you went to a peaceful protest at weekend and got detained, you’re probably getting hacked right now.

It’s one more reason to conclude that smartphones suck. And as much as we convince ourselves how cool they are, it’s hard to deny their invention has resulted in a tendency for humans to behave like zombies, encouraged child labor, made us more lonely than ever, turned some of us into narcissistic selfie–addicts, and prevented us from communicating with those who really matter (the ones in the same room at the same time). Now, Snowden has given us yet another reason to believe that smartphones might be the dumbest thing we could have ever inflicted on ourselves.

Edward Snowden Interview on Apple vs. FBI, Privacy, the NSA, and More

Published on Feb 25, 2016
"There's a very real difference between allegiance to country–allegiance to people–than allegiance to state, which is what nationalism today is really more about," says Edward Snowden. On February 20, the whistleblowing cybersecurity expert addressed a wide range of questions during an in-depth interview with Reason's Nick Gillespie at Liberty Forum, a gathering of the Free State Project (FSP) in Manchester, New Hampshire.

FSP seeks to move 20,000 people over the next five years to New Hampshire, where they will secure "liberty in our lifetime" by affecting the political, economic, and cultural climate of the state. Over 1,900 members have already migrated to the state and their impact is already being felt. Among their achievements to date:

getting 15 of their brethren in the state House, challenging anti-ridehail laws, fighting in court for outre religious liberty, winning legal battles over taping cops, being mocked by Colbert for heroically paying off people's parking meters, hosting cool anything goes festivals for libertarians, nullifying pot juries, and inducing occasional pants-wetting absurd paranoia in local statists.

Snowden's cautionary tale about the the dangers of state surveillance wasn't lost on his audience of libertarians and anarchists who reside in the "Live Free or Die" state. He believes that technology has given rise to unprecedented freedom for individuals around the world—but he says so from an undisclosed location in authoritarian Russia.

And he reminds us that governments also have unprecedented potential to surveil their populations at a moment's notice, without anyone ever realizing what's happening.

"They know more about us than they ever have in the history of the United States," Snowden warns. "They're excusing themselves from accountability to us at the same time they're trying to exert greater power over us."

In the midst of a fiercely contested presidential race, Snowden remains steadfast in his distrust of partisan politics and declined to endorse any particular candidate or party, or even to label his beliefs. "I do see sort of a clear distinction between people who have a larger faith in liberties and rights than they do in states and institutions," he grants. "And this would be sort of the authoritarian/libertarian axis in the traditional sense. And I do think it’s clear that if you believe in the progressive liberal tradition, which is that people should have greater capability to act freely, to make their own choices, to enjoy a better and freer life over the progression of sort of human life, you’re going to be pushing away from that authoritarian axis at all times."

Snowden drews laughs when asked if he was eligible to vote via absentee ballot. "This is still a topic of...active research," he deadpans.

But he stresses that the U.S. government can win back trust and confidence through rigorous accountability to citizens and by living up to the ideals on which the country was founded. "We don’t want Russia or China or North Korea or Iran or France or Germany or Brazil or any other country in the world to hold us up as an example for why we should be narrowing the boundaries of liberty around the world instead of expanding them," says Snowden.

Runs about 50 minutes.

Secretary Hillary Clinton
Post Office Box 5256
New York, NY 10185-5256

Dear Secretary Clinton:

In March 1993 billionaire Laurance Rockefeller initiated an extraordinary approach to your husband's administration via the Office of Science and Technology Policy headed by Dr. John Gibbons. A memorandum from Mr. Rockefeller's attorney Henry Diamond dated March 29, 1993 conveyed a request to meet with Gibbons "to discuss the potential availability of government information about unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial life." Rockefeller, a friend and supporter of you and your husband, wanted to meet with the President and inform him "there is a belief in many quarters that the government has long held classified information regarding UFOs which has not been released and that the failure to do so has brought about unnecessary suspicion and distrust," and that "Many believe that the release of such information on a basis consistent with national security would be a significant gesture which would increase confidence in government."

Thus began a three-year effort by a notable American to convince your husband to essentially be the "Disclosure President" and end a then 46-year truth embargo on providing the full facts to the American people regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. This effort, which included meetings, reports, briefings, a book, draft letters to the President and more, came to be known as the Rockefeller Initiative.

You were aware of this initiative from the beginning as was a key advisor to the President, John Podesta. You and your husband met with Rockefeller at his Wyoming ranch in August of 1995. Your husband tasked a close friend, Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell, to look into the UFO issue at the Department of Justice and elsewhere. He tasked John Podesta, his eventual Chief of Staff, to reform and accelerate the document declassification process. You were kept informed of the ongoing initiative and helped draft a letter from Rockefeller to the President. It is notable that John Podesta, the founder and former CEO of the Center for American Progress, in 2002 and 2003 called for the release to the public of all UFO and related documents in government files. In 2004 Governor Bill Richardson, UN Ambassador and Secretary of Energy during your husband's administration, made a similar request for documents pertaining to the events in Roswell, New Mexico during July of 1947.

These facts are known from news articles, public records and, most importantly, from nearly 1000 pages of correspondence and documents obtained in 2000 by researcher Grant Cameron from the Office of Science and Technology Policy via the Freedom of Information Act. Additional relevant photos were later obtained from the Clinton Presidential Library.

From March 29, 1993 until the present day no member of the Clinton Administration involved in or privy to the Rockefeller Initiative has ever spoken publicly about it. Besides yourself, this includes President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Governor Bill Richardson, Secretary Leon Panetta, Mack McLarty, Webster Hubbell, John Podesta and the late Dr. John Gibbons.

In April/May of 2013 a mock congressional hearing was conducted at the National Press Club. Included in the 30 hours of testimony before six former members of the U.S. Congress were three hours of testimony on the Rockefeller Initiative. One year later, as your presidential campaign was being set up, the following series of events came about:

(April 2, 2014) President Clinton appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live and arranges to be asked about aliens.

(February 13, 2015) Upon leaving his post as advisor to President Obama, John Podesta tweets: "1. Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #thetruthisstilloutthere cc: @NYTimesDowd"

(March 13, 2015) President Obama appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live and arranges to be asked about aliens.

(September 29, 2015) Two weeks before the first Democratic primary debate referring to your interview with actress Lena Dunham, John Podesta tweets: "Great interview, @lenadunham. But Lena, ask her about aliens next time!! #TheTruthisOutThere  hrc.io/1jusfxk cc: @HillaryClinton"

(October 6, 2015) President Clinton appears on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and arranges to be asked about aliens.


(December 30, 2015) You make extraordinary statements regarding the ET issue to Conway Daily Sun reporter Daymond Steer while campaigning in New Hampshire.

(February 11, 2016) President Obama appears on the Ellen Show knowing he would be asked about aliens.
(March 1, 2016) While campaigning in Nevada prior to the Democratic caucus, John Podesta gives an interview to Steve Sebelius of KLAS TV Las Vegas when, among other comments, he confirms your statements to the Conway Daily Sun were serious.

It would appear there is an unprecedented political subtext pointing to an unstated agenda on the part of your campaign regarding an issue of profound importance. But this agenda remains deliberately obscure with repeated requests from the media regarding the matter ignored.  

It is your ambition to reach a significant milestone in American history by becoming the first President of the United States who happens to be a woman, or put another way, the 69th female head of state. While this would be an admirable legacy, what the American people need is less legacy and more truth. The people have lost patience with "in loco parentis" government that treats them like children and candidates with long lists of issues they can't discuss because it is not convenient to their campaign or the people "can't handle the truth."

Because you were introduced to these matters within the context of the White House, because you aspire to the highest office in the nation, you have an extraordinary opportunity and primary obligation to directly and unambiguously address what is easily the most significant issue of this or any other time - an issue with major national security and policy implications.

Madam Secretary, If you choose to speak truth to power, it is not enough to select those truths which are convenient or safe or self-serving. You must speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth and place your fate in the hands of history.

Respectfully,

Stephen Bassett
Executive Director
Paradigm Research Group

Concerning Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;  4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:  5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:  6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:  7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.  8 First , I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.  9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;  10 Making request , if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.  11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established ;  12 That  is , that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.  13 Now I would not have you ignorant , brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you,  (but was let hitherto ,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as  among other Gentiles.  14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.  15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.  

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth ; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  17 For therein  is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written  , The just shall live by faith.  18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;  19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen , being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:  21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful ; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened .  22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools ,  23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.  24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator , who is blessed for ever. Amen.  26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another  ; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet .  28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient ;  29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,  30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,  31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest : for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.  2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.  3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?  4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?  5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;  6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:  7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:  8 But unto them that are contentious , and do not obey  the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,  9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;  10 But  glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:  11 For there is no respect of persons with God.  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;  13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified .  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:  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    16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.  17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,  18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent , being instructed out of the law;  19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,  20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.  21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal , dost thou steal ?  22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery , dost thou commit adultery ? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege ?  23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?  24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written .  25 For circumcision verily profiteth , if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.  26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?  27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?  28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly  ; neither is that circumcision, which is outward  in the flesh:  29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly  ; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?  2 Much every  way: chiefly, because  that unto them were committed the oracles of God.  3 For what if some did not believe  ? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect ?  4 God forbid  : yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written , That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged .  5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say  ? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)  6 God forbid  : for then how shall God judge the world?  7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?  8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported , and as some affirm that we say  ,) Let us do evil, that good may come ? whose damnation is just.  9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;  10 As it is written  , There is none righteous, no, not one:  11 There is none that understandeth , there is none that seeketh after God.  12 They are all gone out of the way , they are together become unprofitable ; there is none that doeth good, no, not one  .  13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit ; the poison of asps is under their lips:  14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:  15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:  

Destruction and misery are in their ways:  17 And the way of peace have they not known :  18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.  19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith , it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped , and all the world may become guilty before God.  20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no  flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.  21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested , being witnessed by the law and the prophets;  22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe : for there is no difference:  23 For all have sinned , and come short of the glory of God;  24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past , through the forbearance of God;  26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.  27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded . By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.  28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.  29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:  30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.  31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid  : yea, we establish the law.

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found ?  2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.  3 For what saith the scripture ? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.  4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.  5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.  6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,  7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven , and whose sins are covered .  8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.  9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.  10 How was it then reckoned ? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.  11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe , though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:  12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.  13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.  14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void , and the promise made of none effect :  15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is , there is no transgression.  16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,  17 (As it is written  , I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed , even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were .  18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken , So shall thy seed be .  19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead , when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:  20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;  21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised , he was able also to perform .  22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.  23 Now it was not written for his sake  alone, that it was imputed to him;  24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed , if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;  25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand , and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:  5 And hope maketh not ashamed ; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.  6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die : yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die .  8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled , we shall be saved by his life.  11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.  12 Wherefore , as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned :  13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.  14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come .  15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead , much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.  16 And not as it was by one that sinned , so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.  17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)  18 Therefore  as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so  by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.  20 Moreover the law entered , that the offence might abound . But where sin abounded , grace did much more abound :  21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound ?  2 God forbid  . How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein ?  3 Know ye not , that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  4 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.  5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:  6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed , that henceforth we should not serve sin.  7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.  8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:  9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.  10 For in that he died , he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth , he liveth unto God.  11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.  13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.  14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.  15 What then? shall we sin , because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid  .  16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey ; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?  17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you .  18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.  19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.  20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.  21 What  fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed ? for the end of those things is death.  22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.  23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Know ye not , brethren,  (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as  he liveth ?  2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth ; but if the husband be dead , she is loosed from the law of her husband.  3 So then  if, while her husband liveth , she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead , she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.  4 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.  5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.  6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held ; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.  7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid  . Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said , Thou shalt not covet .  8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.  9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came , sin revived , and I died .  10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found  to be unto death.  11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.  12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.  13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid  . But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding  sinful.  14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.  15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would , that do I not; but what I hate , that do I .  16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.  17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  18 For I know that in me (that is , in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.  19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do .  20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more  I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.  22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?  25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve  the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  5 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.  6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be .  8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot  please God.  9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.  10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  11 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.  12 Therefore , brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.  13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die : but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live .  14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry , Abba, Father.  16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:  17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God , and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together .  18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.  20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,  21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.  22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.  23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.  24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth , why doth he yet hope for ?  25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought : but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  29 For whom he did foreknow , he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.  30 Moreover whom he did predestinate , them he also called : and whom he called , them he also justified : and whom he justified , them he also glorified .  31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  32 He that  spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth .  34 Who is he that condemneth ? It is Christ that died , yea rather , that is risen again , who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.  35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  36 As it is written  , For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  38 For I am persuaded , that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present , nor things to come ,  39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,  2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.  3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:  4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;  5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.  6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect . For they are not all  Israel, which are of Israel:  7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called .  8 That is , They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.  9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come , and Sara shall have a son.  10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one  , even by our father Isaac;  11 (For the children being not yet born , neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand , not of works, but of him that calleth  12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.  13 As it is written , Jacob have I loved , but Esau have I hated .  14 What shall we say then ? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid  .  15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy , and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion .  

So then it is not of him that willeth , nor of him that runneth , but of God that sheweth mercy .  17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for  this same purpose have I raised thee up , that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.  18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth .  19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault ? For who hath resisted his will?  20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God ? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?  21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to  make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?  22 What if  God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known , endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:  23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,  24 Even us, whom he hath called , not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?  25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved , which was not beloved .  26 And it shall come to pass , that in the place where  it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.  27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved :  28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.  29 And as Esaias said before , Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been  as Sodoma, and been made like  unto Gomorrha.  30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.  31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.  32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone  ;  33 As it is written , Behold , I lay in Sion a stumblingstone  and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed .

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is , that they might be saved.  2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.  3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.  4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth .  5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.  6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is , to bring Christ down from above:)  7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is , to bring up Christ again from the dead.)  8 But what saith it ? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is , the word of faith, which we preach ;  9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved .  10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  11 For the scripture saith , Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed .  12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.  13 For  whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved .  14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed ? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard ? and how shall they hear without a preacher ?  15 And how shall they preach , except they be sent ? as it is written , How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith , Lord, who hath believed our report?  17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  18 But I say , Have they not heard ? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.  19 But I say , Did not Israel know ? First Moses saith , I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.  20 But Esaias is very bold , and saith , I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.  21 But to Israel he saith , All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

I say then , Hath God cast away his people? God forbid  . For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.  2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew  . Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying ,  3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.  4 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.  5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.  6 And if by grace, then is it no more  of works: otherwise grace is no more  grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more  grace: otherwise work is no more  work.  7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for ; but the election hath obtained it , and the rest were blinded  8 (According as it is written , God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see , and ears that they should not hear unto this day.  9 And David saith , Let their table be made a snare , and a trap , and a stumblingblock , and a recompence unto them:  10 Let their eyes be darkened , that they may not see , and bow down their back alway.  11 I say then , Have they stumbled that they should fall ? God forbid  : but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy .  12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?  13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as   I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:  14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.  15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?  16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.  

And if some of the branches be broken off , and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;  18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast , thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.  19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off , that I might be graffed in .  20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off , and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded , but fear :  21 For if God spared not the natural branches , take heed lest  he also spare not thee.  22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell  , severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off .  23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in : for God is able to graff them in again.  24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?  25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in .  26 And so all Israel shall be saved : as it is written , There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer , and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:  27 For this is my  covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.  28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes  : but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.  29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.  30 For as  ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:  31 Even so have these also now not believed , that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy .  32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.  33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!  34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?  35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again ?  36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.  

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  3 For I say , through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think ; but to think soberly  , according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.  4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:  5 So we , being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.  6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;  7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth , on teaching;  8 Or he that exhorteth , on exhortation: he that giveth , let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth , with diligence; he that sheweth mercy , with cheerfulness.  9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.  10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;  11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;  12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;  13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.  14 Bless them which persecute you: bless , and curse not.  15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice , and weep with them that weep .  16 Be of the same mind one toward another . Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.  17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.  18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written , Vengeance is mine; I will repay , saith the Lord.  20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger , feed him; if he thirst , give him drink : for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.  21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God  : the powers that be are ordained of God.  2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.  3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:  4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid ; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.  5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject , not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.  6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.  7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.  8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery , Thou shalt not kill , Thou shalt not steal , Thou shalt not bear false witness , Thou shalt not covet ; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.  11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake  out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed .  12 The night is far spent  , the day is at hand : let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye , but not to doubtful disputations.  2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak , eateth herbs.  3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth : for God hath received him.  4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth . Yea, he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him stand .  5 One man esteemeth one day above another  : another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.  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 .  7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.  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.  9 For to this end Christ both died , and rose , and revived , that he might be Lord both of the dead and living .  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.  11 For it is written , As I live , saith the Lord , every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.  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.  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.  15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably . Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died .  16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of :  17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.  18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.  19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.  20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.  21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby  thy brother stumbleth , or is offended , or is made weak .  22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth .  23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat , because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.  2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.  3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written , The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.  4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.  5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another  according to Christ Jesus:  6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as  Christ also received us to the glory of God.  8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:  9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written , For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.  10 And again he saith , Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.  11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.  12 And again, Esaias saith , There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust .  13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing , that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.  14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.  15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind , because of the grace that is given to me of God,  16 That I should be  the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.  

I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.  18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,  19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.  20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel , not where Christ was named , lest I should build upon another man's foundation:  21 But as it is written , To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see : and they that have not heard shall understand .  22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.  23 But now having no more place in these  parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;  24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey , and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.  25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.  26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.  27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are . For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.  28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.  29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.  30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;  31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;  32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.  

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;   5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;   6  Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:   7  So that ye come behind in no * gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.   9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.   10 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. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.   12 Now this I say , that every one of you saith , I * am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.   13 Is Christ divided * ? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?   14  I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;   15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.  

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.   17 For Christ sent me not to baptize , but to preach the gospel : not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect . 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.   19 For it is written , I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.   20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?   21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe .   22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:   23 But we preach Christ crucified , unto the Jews a stumblingblock *, and unto the Greeks foolishness;   24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.   25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.   26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:   27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;   28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised , hath God chosen , yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are :   29 That no * flesh should glory in his presence *.   30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us * wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:   31 That, according as it is written , He that glorieth , let him glory in the Lord.

Saturday, March 12, 2016: Pastor Darrell Scott of New Spirit Revival Center Ministries speaks and introduces Donald Trump at a rally in Cleveland, OH and BRINGS DOWN THE HOUSE!

Here is what the Pastor had to say;

I met Mr. Trump over 5 years ago in a personal meeting that was organized by a mutual friend and, to be honest, I went into the meeting somewhat prejudicially; I went in with an opinion that had been formed thru media portrayals.

In that meeting, I asked Mr. Trump some very direct and pointed questions, questions about race and race relations, and I received very direct answers from Mr. Trump that erased all of my preconceptions. He told us at that meeting that he was very concerned about the condition that our country was in and the direction that our country was proceeding in; and he asked us simply to pray for him.

He said, ‘I would that you guys pray for me that God gives me wisdom and God leads me in the right direction in my decision-making processes,’ and, to be honest, I went away with a very different perspective and very, very different opinion of Mr. Donald Trump.

Now some of you might be surprised at this statement that I’m about to make, but I found Mr. Trump not only to be very gracious and very hospitable; but I also found Mr. Trump to be a very humble man.

We met with Mr. Trump again this past September, a group of clergy, and we spoke with him very directly about the economy, about race relations, about schools, jobs, about America’s crumbling infrastructure, and we discussed the Middle East, ISIS, America’s military, immigration, national defense very, very candidly.

So my personal objective in this rally is for you to form an opinion of Donald Trump that is NOT based upon what the liberal media wants to BRAINWASH you with. ALL of you…listen….I’m born and raised in Cleveland, I know how we are, I know how we roll, I know how we THINK!

All of you are here today because you are independent thinkers. You all are free-thinkers. You all are smart, intelligent people, and they try to act like Mr. Trump appeals to a bunch of DUMMIES! I beg to differ with you! We are smart people, we are intelligent people, we know what we’re doing, we KNOW what we see, and the truth is, the Democratic Party has drifted farther and farther away from the traditional values that made our country great in the first place! In our private meetings, Mr. Trump spoke of the values and principles that reflect our views as Americans.

Mr. Trump…you have to realize that under this current Democratic administration, the economy is in a shambles, the infrastructure of our cities is crumbling, our morality is despicable, the people are rioting in the streets, the agenda of special interest groups is being crammed down our throats, our streets are not safe and, internationally, our country is not respected, our leaders and our military is not feared; the Middle East has been destabilized; and this current administration has had EIGHT YEARS to effect change, so they cannot continue to blame the prior administration for our country’s ills; and so to coin the previous (or our current) administration’s very own term: “IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE!“ We need strong leadership for a stronger America. We need to become stronger economically, we need to become stronger socially, we need to become stronger morally, spiritually and militarily. And I believe that Donald Trump is our change agent. If you’re in agreement with me, somebody shout “Amen!”

This campaign is history making. Detractors try to say that Donald Trump is a divider; I beg to differ with them! Donald Trump is a UNIFIER!!

I have with me today, they have traveled from Baltimore, (I have) American Sikhs for Trump, American Muslims for Trump, we have National Black Republicans for Trump; we have all sorts of ethnic groups for Trump. He’s not a divider, he’s a unifier because no other candidate could’ve had THIS many people show up in a meeting from all different walks of life!

I’m almost done…

There’s a scripture in the bible that says “I sought for a man to make up the hedge, and to stand in the gap for my land.” Donald Trump IS that man! God has raised him up for such a time as this. There’s a gap that exists between the people of America and Washington bureaucracy and we’re going to stand in the gap; we’re going to make up the hedge with Donald Trump and restore our Nation. C’mon say ‘Amen’ to me somebody!

Donald Trump is an unparalleled leader and developer with a GIFT for innovation and problem solving. He’s a builder, a developer, a negotiator without equal with the hand of God on his life because ONLY God could take a Black guy from the inner city streets of Cleveland and connect him with a White billionaire from upstate NY to try to do what we can to try to MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN!!

America, this America that we once knew is an America that we no longer recognize. America is weaker than it has ever been, and Mr. Trump has promised that he will do everything in his power to make this country great again.

And so….without further ado…let me say this before I stop... When you go to the polls this Tuesday, you can make a statement, you can make a mark that can never be erased, by voting for Donald Trump, you are saying to America that ‘I’m not satisfied with the status quo and it’s time for America to regain its strength, and it’s time for America to become the greatest country on the face of this earth again; it’s time for America to become great again,’…. so without further ado, I present to some and I introduce to others, and I want you to receive him with a loud and long show of hands….

THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, MR. DONALD J. TRUMP!

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.   2  (For he saith , I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold , now is the accepted time; behold , now is the day of salvation.)   3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed :   4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,   7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,   8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;   9 As unknown , and yet well known ; as dying , and, behold , we live ; as chastened , and not killed ;   10 As sorrowful , yet alway rejoicing ; as poor, yet making many rich ; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.   11  O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged .   12  Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.   13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged .   14  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?   15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?   16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said * , I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.   17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate , saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,   18 And will be * a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons * and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.   2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.   3  I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before , that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.   4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.   5 For *, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.   6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;   7 And not by his coming only, but * by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.   8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent , though I did repent : for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry , though it were but for a season.   9 Now I rejoice , not that ye were made sorry , but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly * sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.   11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.   12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong , nor for his cause that suffered wrong , but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.   13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.   14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed ; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.   15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.   16  I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;   2  How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty * abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 3 For to their power, I bear record , yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;   4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.   5 And this they did, not as we hoped , but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.   6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun , so he would also finish in you the same grace also. 7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love * to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.   8  I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.   9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor , that ye through his poverty might be rich .   10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before , not only to do , but also to be forward a year ago. 11 Now * therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will , so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have .   12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath , and not according to that he hath not.   13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:   14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:   15 As it is written , He that had gathered much had nothing over ; and he that had gathered little had no lack .   16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.   17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.   18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;   19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind: 20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:   21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.   22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved * diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.   23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.   24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:   2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.   3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said , ye may be ready :   4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we * (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.   5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before , that the same might be ready *, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. 6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully *.   7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly *, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.   8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:   9  (As it is written , He hath dispersed abroad ; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.   10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)   11  Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth * the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;   13  Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;   14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.   15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base * among you, but being absent am bold toward you: 2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:   4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)   5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled .   7  Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.   8 For * though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed :   9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.   10 For his letters *, say they , are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible . 11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent , such will we be also in deed when we are present .   12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number , or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise . 13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. 14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:   15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased , that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly *, 16  To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand. 17 But he that glorieth , let him glory in the Lord.   18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth .

Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.   2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.   3 But I fear , lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.   4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached , or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received , or another gospel, which ye have not accepted , ye might well bear with him.   5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.   6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.   7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted , because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?   8  I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.   9 And when I was present with you, and wanted , I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied : and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.   10  As the truth of Christ is in me *, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth .   12 But what I do , that I will do , that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory , they may be found even as we.   13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.   14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.   15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.   16  I say again, Let no man think me * a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

That which I speak , I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly *, in this confidence of boasting.   18  Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.   19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.   20 For ye suffer , if a man bring you into bondage , if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself , if a man smite you on the face.   21  I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak . Howbeit whereinsoever * * any is bold , (I speak foolishly *,) I am bold also.   22  Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.   23  Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool ) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.   24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.   25 Thrice was I beaten with rods , once was I stoned , thrice I suffered shipwreck , a night and a day I have been in the deep;   26  In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;   27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.   28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily *, the care of all the churches.   29 Who is weak , and I am not weak ? who is offended , and I burn not?   30 If I must needs glory , I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.   31  The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.   32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison , desirous to apprehend me:   33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory * . I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2  I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, * (whether in the body, I cannot tell ; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth such an one caught up to the third heaven.   3 And I knew such a man, * (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth   4  How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter . 5 Of such an one will I glory : yet of myself I will not glory , but in mine infirmities.   6 For though I would desire to glory , I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear , lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of * me.   7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure .   8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.   9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.   10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak , then am I strong.   11  I am become a fool in glorying ; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles *, though I be nothing.   12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.   13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.   14 Behold , the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.   15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you * ; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved . 16 But be it so , I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.   17  Did I make a gain * of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?   18  I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did * Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?   19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.   20 For I fear , lest *, when I come , I shall not find you such as I would , and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:   21  And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already , and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed .

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established .   2  I told you before , and foretell you , as if I were present , the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned , and to all other, that, if I come again *, I will not spare :   3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak , but is mighty in you.   4 For * though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves *. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates *?   6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.   7 Now I pray to God that ye do * no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.   8 For we can do nothing * against the truth, but for the truth.   9 For we are glad , when we are weak , and ye are strong: and this also we wish , even your perfection. 10 Therefore I write these things being absent , lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.   11 Finally, brethren, farewell . Be perfect , be of good comfort , be of one mind , live in peace ; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.   12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.   13 All the saints salute you.   14  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,   4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:   5  To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.   6  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:   7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.   8 But though * we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.   9 As we said before , so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received , let him be accursed.   10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.   11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.   12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.   13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:   14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,   16  To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:   17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.   18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.   20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold , before God *, I lie not.   21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;   22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:   23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed .   24 And they glorified God in me.

Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.   2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation , lest by any means I should run , or had run , in vain. 3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised :   4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage :   5  To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.   6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, * (whatsoever they were , it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:   7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me , as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;   8  (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)   9 And when James *, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.   10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same * which I also was forward to do .   11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed .   12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come , he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.   13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.   14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews ?   15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,   16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no * flesh be justified .   17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid * .   18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed , I make myself a transgressor.   19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.   20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live ; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.   21  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth , crucified among you?   2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?   3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?   4  Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.   5  He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?   6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7  Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.   8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed .   9  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.   10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written , Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.   11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.   12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.   13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written , Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:   14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.   15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed , no man disannulleth , or addeth thereto . 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made . He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.   17 And this I say , that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul , that it should make the promise of none effect .   18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.   19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made ; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.   20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.   21  Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid * : for if there had been a law given which could have given life , verily righteousness should have been by the law.   22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe .   23 But before faith came , we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed .   24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.   25 But after that faith is come , we are no longer * under a schoolmaster.   26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.   27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.   28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.   29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Now I say , That the heir, as long as * he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;   2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.   3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come , God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,   5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.   6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying , Abba, Father.   7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.   8 Howbeit then *, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.   9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage ? 10  Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.   11  I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.   12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.   13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.   14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected ; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.   15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record , that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them * to me.

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth ?   17  They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. 18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.   19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until * Christ be formed in you,   20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.   21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?   22 For it is written , that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid *, the other by a freewoman.   23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.   24  Which things are an allegory : for these are the two covenants; the one * from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.   26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.   27 For it is written , Rejoice , thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry , thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.   28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.   29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.   30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.   31  So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free , and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.   2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised , Christ shall profit you nothing.   3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised , that he is a debtor to do the whole law.   4 Christ is become of no effect unto you * , whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.   5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.   6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.   7  Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 8  This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.   9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.   10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded : but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be * .   11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution ? then is the offence of the cross ceased .   12  I would they were even cut off which trouble you.   13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.   14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.   15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.   16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.   17 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 .   18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.   19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,   20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,   21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before , as I have also told you in time past , that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.   22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,   23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.   24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.   26  Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted .   2  Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.   3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.   4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.   5 For every man shall bear his own burden.   6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.   7 Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap .   8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.   9 And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season we shall reap , if we faint not.   10 As we have therefore * opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially * unto them who are of the household of faith.   11  Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.   12  As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised ; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.   13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised , that they may glory in your flesh.   14 But God forbid * that I should glory , save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.   16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.   17  From henceforth let no man trouble me * : for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.   18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.   3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:   4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:   5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,   6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved .   7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;   8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;   9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:   10  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; even in him: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance , being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:   12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed , ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,   14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.   15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,   16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;   17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened ; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,   19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe , according to the working of his mighty power,   20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,   21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named , not only in this world, but also in that which is to come :   22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,   23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;   2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:   3 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. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,   5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved   6 And hath raised us up together , and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:   7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.   8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:   9 Not of works, lest any man should boast .   10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember , that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;   12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:   13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.   14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;   15  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one * new man, so making peace;   16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby * : 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.   18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.   19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;   20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;   21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:   22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,   2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:   3  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; * (as I wrote afore in few words,   4 Whereby *, when ye read , ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)   5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;   6  That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:   7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.   8  Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given , that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;   9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:   10  To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,   11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:   12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.   13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.   14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,   15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named ,   16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;   17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,   18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;   19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.   20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly * above all that we ask or think , according to the power that worketh in us,   21  Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called , 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;   3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.   4  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;   5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,   6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.   7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.   8 Wherefore he saith , When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9  (Now that he ascended , what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?   10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;   12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:   13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro , and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness *, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;   15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:   16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part *, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.  

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as * other Gentiles walk , in the vanity of their mind,   18  Having the understanding darkened , being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.   20 But ye have not so learned Christ;   21  If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:   22  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;   23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;   24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.   26  Be ye angry , and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:   27 Neither give place to the devil.   28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour , working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth * .  29 Let no * corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers . 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.   31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:   32 And be ye kind one to another *, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as * God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;   2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.   3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;   4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient : but rather giving of thanks.   5 For this ye know * , that no * whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.   6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.   8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:   9  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)   10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.   11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather * reprove them.   12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.   13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith , Awake thou that sleepest , and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light .   15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,   16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.   18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein * is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;   19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;   20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;   21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.   22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.   23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.   24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.   25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;   26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,   27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.   28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.   29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:   30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.   31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one * flesh.   32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.   33 Nevertheless * let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.   2 Honour thy father and mother; * (which is the first commandment with promise;)   3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.   4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath : but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.   5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;   6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;   7 With good will doing service , as to the Lord, and not to men:   8 Knowing that whatsoever * good thing any man doeth , the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.   9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your * Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.   11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.   12 For we wrestle not against * flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand .   14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;   15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;   16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.   17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:   18 Praying always * * with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto * * with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;   19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open * my mouth boldly *, to make known the mystery of the gospel,   20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly , as I ought to speak . 21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do , Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:   22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.   23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.   24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

I DO NOT PRAY, I DO ADVOCATE I AM, I DO NOT CALL ON THE LIGHT THAT IS YOUR PROGRAMMED 3D DARKNESS, I OPERATE ON LOVE ONLY!

LOVE IS THE ONLY ANSWER. I WISH TO SAY, HUMANITY LARGELY HAS BEEN SUCKED IN BY THE LIGHT YOU THINK OF, AND BLOWN OUT YOUR REAR!

IN THE MEAN-TIME, A WEB-SITE I FOUND BACKS IT UP I JUST CAME ACROSS. I LEFT THIS STUFF WHEN I DISCUSSED IT ON THIS FORUM YEARS AGO!

BAAL IS ALLAH AND JEHOVAH

The Violet Flame Exposed

" The so called violet flame of St. Germain is the invocation of the the FALSE light of the Black Sun / Saturn / Great Central Sun. It is a vampiric energy that has the purpose to feed your soul energy (TRUE LIGHT) to the reptilians on Saturn and assimilate you with their FALSE borg light. Invoking this light will have the most detrimental effect on a person than any other energy that one can invoke. It is in fact the most dangerous and toxic energy that exists in the universe. This light, once invoked, will have serious and perhaps even irreversable consequences on your brain, mind and consciousness. As a person who has invoked it for months and suffered its consequences, I can testify of its soul damaging effects. It is REAL. Some of the things I experienced after invoking this light included dissociation, mental inertia, impaired imagination, brainfog, apathy, restlessness, emotional numbness and feeling like a zombie. The violet flame is THE energy of the cube and of the borg assimilation."

According to the Ascended Masters, Saint Germain was the same soul as Christopher Columbus. This is interesting, since Queen Catherine of Medici (who started the 350 year spanish inquisition of those who did not convert to Christianity) supported Columbus expedition to the "New World". Do you think that is just a coincidence? No, they are all descendants of the same reptilian bloodline of Jesus. We all know it is commonly accepted that Saint German was blood related to Vlad The Impaler. But guess who else is blood related to Vlad. You guessed it right: Prince Charles of England.

St. Germain Dracula:
The greatest mystery surrounding the mysterious Saint Germain is that he is Dracula and has been assigned by the demiurge to direct the vampiric false light of the black sun / saturn in order to assimilate people into Borgs / Zombies / Dracula slaves. In his last embodiment in Transylvania, he was blood related to Vlad the Impaler for a reason. Dracula must be slayed before the world will see the true light again.

Who conquered the American Indians, and who brought Christianity into this World, Christopher Columbus I believe was a Jew or consorted with them!

What I have placed here may mean nothing, it was the composition of my dream and background 'white noise' just blew it right out of the water. Humanity is being programmed during 'sleep state'. I have proven this time after time. Like lost sheep, your mind is altered. When you are wise and in fully awakened state, being fully conscious, that is  when you are living in another real world and you walk your talk, getting there takes a lot of brain white-wash paint removal!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise

The tactics were a "voodoo science," says Michael Rolince, former section chief of the F.B.I.'s International Terrorism Operations. According to a person familiar with the methods, the basic approach was to "break down [the detainees] through isolation, white noise, completely take away their ability to predict the future, create dependence on interrogators."

I came here to give you a final warning, its not the World you think it is. The Matrix is what you see, nothing is real, many will perish and their soul ends up in another 3D World to start the whole process again.

Not many I was told by Mother will return to paradise because they are not listening, not interested in the truth that will shatter their beliefs, that are lies.

Listen to your self, love the inner-self, connect to your twin-flame, everyone has one, or are you just a programmed entity like a troll working for the BORG COLLECTIVE!

Mother came to the Mirror and began flickering the pair of left-sided PILOT LIGHTS, while the right side did not flicker. All are wired parallel.

MY SOUL CAME INTO EXISTENCE BEFORE RENEGADE ASCENDING MASTERS PLAGIARIZED MY FATHER'S WORLDS! IT'S TIME TO GROUND YOURSELF TO A REAL WORLD, GO WITHIN, GO HOME.

The Yahweh Inter-Face with Jewish Connections



I had to laugh recently, a retail business using CHRIST as a PASSWORD to restart the system.
Sure thing, the Matrix Reboot is in progress on the game-board, Do not PASS, Go to HELL!

Dream Weaver wrote:

Sammy Davis Jr. was an avowed satanist.
Being Jewish was mostly a front for “The Candy Man.”

If nobody else is willing to say this out loud, I’ll step up to the plate. Barack Obama is totally ripping off Sammy Davis Jr. I’m willing to overlook their general similarities (cross-racial appeal, Amazon brides, chain smoking), but the senator’s appropriation of Sammy’s mantra is what really gets my goat. What’s worse, this alleged master orator is actually guilty of motto misquoting.

Quite frankly, Obama’s “Yes, We Can” is a hackish catchphrase that invokes the empty sloganeering of the old politics he decries, and its bland meaninglessness makes a glut of unwatchable celebrity YouTube videos inevitable. But Sammy’s sublime ‘Yes, I Can” is a pledge that genuinely means something. “I Can” represents Davis’ refusal to recognize barriers, be they Jim Crow policies, societal norms, or sodomy laws. And “Yes” is basically what Sammy would say if anyone offered him anything.

There’s no better example of this than Sammy’s dabblings in Satanism. Christian by birth, Jewish by choice, Sammy started his personal relationship with Satan during a 1968 visit to the Factory, a nightclub he partially owned. He was invited to a party by a group of young actors sporting red fingernails, signifying their allegiance to the Church of Satan. Founded in 1966 by Anton LaVey, a horror fan with a background in carnival work, ghost-busting, and nightclub organ, the San Francisco-based ministry combined LaVey’s interests in ancient paganism, a media-savvy flair for publicity, and a philosophy of indulgence over abstinence.

When Sammy arrived at the party (whose theme he summarized as “dungeons and dragons and debauchery”), all attendees were wearing hoods or masks. The centerpiece of the “coven” was a naked woman chained spread-eagle on a red-velvet-covered alter. Davis was confident though that human sacrifice was not on the menu that evening. “That chick was happy,” he wrote, “and wasn’t really going to get anything sharper than a dildo stuck in her.” From http://www.vice.com/read/sammy-devil-jr-v15n5

So how does all this fit with a dream? I used to be a screen printer. A silk-screen is like a cover-up for the light that never was. Imagine a fly screen that is black, you can see right through it, not so with it being white, images behind it looked blurred, objects are out of focus, at the worst this fabric is used in sewerage treatment plants to filter out the krapp. These energies are showing the light is not what you think it is. I'm not talking about general darkness, I'm talking about these phonies stage-actors who pull the strings behind the scenes that are Jewish.

For me to detail this dream is pointless, no one understands. What is important was the 'white noise' with voices I heard from a woman called Dorothy, that is the Rothschild Jew and devil energy to the Big Daddy calling all the shots on this planet who stays well behind the scenes as a glow-bal financial wizard. Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz was a child actress mind-controlled like Shirley Temple, just like Miles Cyrus.

Okay, here is the clues I've known for years, Baal-Jehovah programming gets into the limited conscious human psychic watching the idiot box. Once you have mastered your truths as you walk your talk, they next try to 'white-wash' your sleep-state subconscious with typical angelic programming. What I have just uncovered, take a self-admitting patient claiming he is hearing voices, 'white noise' and its driving him nuts, in fact like eves-dropping to get your ego's attention to being nosy. In this instance, it was programming jealously, short for Jesus-Jehovah.

My printing business was in a block of shops, with a street called Brains Road, that the brains part. Secondly, I find myself going along a long road when I heard this woman behaving like a slave-driver with three school-leavers beckoning for a printing job, who is the quickest and cheapest. In my minds eye a candy vision, one with a nut inside and its candy-sugar-coated. A soft woman's voice speaks so clearly pronounces 'Baal' as I'm sucking on this ball-shape candy. On my recall I realized, that's Archibald Road meaning Baal is the Archon Lord.

Back to Vlad and Sammy Davis Junior as a look-a-like with his lower jaw. Do your own research and discover Saint Germain had many past-lives. He was also part of the Rothschild Dynasty Bloodline, so Nesara or what ever is part of the Matrix Reboot and Currency Reset.

I've have known about all this for about the last 5 years. I started to expose it here and it wasn't in my best interest to continue, the occupants of this planet will lean the hard way. I'm not anyone's savior, you have to save yourself, and if you don't buy into my chit, you are part of the problem. I was reading a paragraph I needed to copy, Mother came immediately by flickering the light in my room. She knows exactly what I'm talking about that will put these imposters in the slammer! Remember what I said, "Don't invoke the I AM", its draws in Jehovah. You are who you are, you don't need any biblical chit, or some false god, when the real god is within you now, he never left you!

The reference material...

Another example of the Hesse-Cassel’s ties to the Illuminati is the enigmatic figure St. Germain, who is hailed as a New Age Messiah-figure. Many researchers believe that St. Germain was the son of Francis II of Transylvania. Francis II’s second wife was Charlotte Amalie of the House of Hesse, he married her in 1694.

St. Germain was either her son, or the prior wife’s, this point is debated. His name was Leopold-George and they staged his death in 1700 to save him from the deadly collapse of the Transylvanian dynasty. Prince Karl of Hesse, Masonic leader of Germany, wrote that St. Germain had been sent down to Italy to be raised by the Medici family. Later on St. Germain appeared out of nowhere to work with the elite. There were questions as to his identity and Napoleon Ill had a dossier gathered on him, but the house holding the dossier was mysteriously destroyed in a fire.

St. Germain was an alchemist and he claimed to have the alchemical Elixir of Life, the secret formula of immortality (which the Rosicrucians also claimed to have). He was a guest of William and Karl of Hesse in 1774, and in 1779 returned to Karl to spend the last years of his known life. Helena Blavatsky, cofounder of the Theosophical Society claimed that St. Germain was one of the Hidden Masters of Tibet who secretly controlled the world’s destiny. In 1930 Guy Ballard claimed that he met St. Germain on Mount Shasta. This supposed meeting led to the creation of the ‘I AM’ movement. Full post plus more at http://vaticproject.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/rothschild-bloodline-part-10a.html

I could add more proof that will convince you. My path, my travels across the ocean to Australia in this life-stream shows this buffoon has watched every move I have made, from profits to losses and all the ass-holes in-between planted to break my spirit. My twin-flame is something else and so is my Mother, both support me and protect me. As I have said coming here is my last testament that will touch into your soul memory, love is the only answer. So often it seems so lost in this world. Where I belong, is a world where love is all you need.

As I conclude my post, Mother comes through the light softly flickering at 1:00am (I had to check for errors in my text 1:18am)

God Bless You All

Over the course of many years he taught me to see by urging simplicity in life . Though very wealthy himself on paper he achieved all his work in a cozy ground floor garage overlooking Lake Geneva, not far from where Perce Byshe Shelley Drowned in the open water .

During the war he was among those master minds that defeated Hitler by outwitting his intelligence network and his technology. He was the friend of many enlightened writers such as Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) and one of the guiding lights behind the Monty Python Team (He did a cameo in Life of Brian)

I owe him so much . He encouraged me to travel , to change my perspective often .See things from different angles to get the bigger picture. His Library was full of precious books on every subject and his voluntary work informing diplomatic missions of impending false flags saved thousands if not millions of lives . Charlie Chaplin was a close friend who lived just up the road along with Freddie Mercury . This guy was more connected than god and infinitely more humble.

His message was in the end very simple and that message was love . Beauty is truth ,truth beauty. See beauty in all things .

You can dress up a Whore to be alluring but in the end you get only the semblance of love , not its substance. The church dolls out beauty in controlled amounts to the deserving. Nature will give you all you ask for if you respect her .

That's the difference between the Church and the natural universe. Slavery or Freedom . Your choice .Always was.

I never cease to be amazed at how petty and childish "Love and Light" can become. I've seen this sort of thing happen over and over again. Things start out so nice and sweet -- but it isn't long before things get nasty!! It's so sad, that it's sort of funny. Once again, I just make this online-stuff part of an ongoing science-fiction adventure!! I continue to be troubled by  problems relative to research-methodologies (and the lack-thereof). It's not so much the conclusions reached which bother me. It's the manner in which we reach those conclusions which worry me. How open are we to opposing points of view?? How open are we toward "Problem-People"?? How open are we toward "Problem-Angels"?? How open are we toward "Problem-Deities"?? How open are we toward "Problem-Aliens"??

Eartheart wrote: And in the youngest day i left the mount of olives to go into the fallen city and there was comotion of all the spirits and ghosts invoked by Dr. Oxy and above them floated a host of Angels and Interspecie-guardians and it was good as it was, so i ask them - what thou say? And them unisoned "Thou are the second Renaissance!" And it filled the Ethers and hearts of the many in one, which was good  and even like my cross.

Then before their Eye of wittness i unchained the Dragon and as i ask the Serpentinatium - What would thou say? - it spew its transfigurational phire
over the multidude    

Then i made a mudra to release our Eartheart and so all of us was saved from the oncoming Flood    THE FLOOD OF WORDS
