1. Sunday School: 2024-12-08 Advent of the doctrine of Santa Claus
2. Matthew 22:14 Callings
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
multi autem sunt vocati pauci vero electi [v]
3. Matthew 22:14 No heat no class
4. Matthew 16:24 Deny and take up cross and follow
Jesus then generalizes to
any "
man" and not just Peter.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. [kjv]
τοτε ο ιησους ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου ει τις θελει οπισω μου ελθειν απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθειτω μοι [gnt]
What does it mean to
"deny" yourself? [find your life]
☐ Concrete physical action that is easier to measure (to be great).
☐ Abstract thought/verbal idea that is harder to measure.
The Greek word for "
man" is not used. Rather, a
pronoun is used.
If the "
man" is a
"bird" , as in a
false leader, then the
"bird" must
"deny" or
"bird" himself, which is to
"deny" the
"denial" which results in a
positive action rather than a negative action. One can then "
follow" Jesus.
5. Matthew 10:33 Deny as a bird
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
οστις δε δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]
Use the noun for
"bird" as a verb. What's your "
ask"? [tennising]
Greek: αρνησηται (say "ar-NEE-see-ta"), verb "deny".
Greek: ορνησηται (say "or-NEE-see-ta"), verb "bird".
Paraphrase (with play on words):
Whoever [bones, hostile] denies [birds] me before men, I will deny [bird] him before my Father in heaven.
This play on word usage is
not the same as the modern "
flip" the
"bird" action, though the word "
flip" is similar in spirit to the Greek word for "
worthy" as in "
counter-balance" and the word translated as "
variance" (in two verses).
6. Matthew 10:29,31,33 Deny
Not
"one" but
all the
"birds" will "
fall" as they are (all) "
without" the Father.
Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. [kjv]
You are (should be)
"different" than the
"birds".
10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. [kjv]
Can we associate the action of
"deny" with the action of a
"bird"?
10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
οστις δε δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]
