  EVERY WHIT WHOLE     Sometimes I enjoy the poignant way King James states a scripture.     John 7:23 KJV If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?     But… what is “ EVERY WHIT ”?   The Greek word "holos" , translated above as “EVERY WHIT” , is used in the New Testament to describe the whole or all of something in its entirety , without division or lacking any part. The Greek interlinear renders “every whit”   as: “entirely” , reading :   “entirely a man sound I made” (which strangely sounds like Yoda from Star Wars)     “ Holos” is used as “ALL” in Mtt22:37: “Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, and with ALL your mind.’”   Mtt16:26  demonstrates the usage of “holos” to describe the totality of which something encompass...

  THE LAST ADAM     "The first man, Adam, became A LIVING SOUL.  THE LAST ADAM became A LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT [ zóopoieó : make alive, give life to… to infuse and empower with LIFE ] .” (1Cor15:45)     2Cor3:6  “…who also made us able ministers of the NEW COVENANT , not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit GIVES LIFE   [ zóopoieó ] ”     Ps103:2-8 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:” 1.         Who forgives all your iniquities, 2.         Who heals all your diseases, 3.         Who redeems your life from destruction, 4.         Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5.         Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.   All of these benefits...

  GENESIS     When God created LIGHT… to what did He speak. THE LIGHT! (Genesis1:3)     When God created THE EARTH and THE SEAS, to what did He speak? To THE DRY LAND and to THE WATERS. (Genesis1:9-10)     When God created plants and trees, He spoke to THE EARTH “And THE EARTH brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind.” ( Genesis 1:12)     When He created fish, He spoke to THE WATERS “Then God said, ‘Let THE WATERS abound with an abundance of living creatures…’ "... THE WATERS brought forth abundantly, after their kind…" ( Genesis 1:20-21)     When He created animals,  He spoke to THE EARTH again… “And God said, ‘Let THE EARTH bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of THE EARTH after his kind:’ and it was so.” ( Genesis 1:24)     When He creat...
