Hung Jury: The Twelve: Dirty Dozen

The Twelve Who Could Never Agree: a Hung Jury;
And a new twelve were still leavened: Dirty Dozen.
For a little leaven leavens the whole lump:
- Of Judas it's said Judas "also betrayed him".
- Peter denied him thrice, and perhaps twice.
- Peter is called Satan and told get converted
- Thomas doubted him until he saw the proof.
- James & John moved the ten to indignation.
- The twelve were upbraided for their unbelief.
- John later turned back to the law behind him.
- Their leaven leavened the old & new twelve.

So God chose Saul to become Paul: The Apostle.
Paul "The Apostle": is "his witness unto all men".
Paul: An apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.

It dawned on me recently the twelve apostles were like a hung jury. They could never agree on anything. Even when the twelve became the eleven, then the twelve again by casting lots (democratic election), they were still leavened. For a little leaven leavens the whole lump, and there was leaven among them; whether it was via Judas, or Peter, or James & John, or Thomas, or John who later turned back to the law behind him, as a dog turns to his vomit(law), like a fool returns to his folly(law), or like a washed sow returns to her mire(law).

Churches today are not much different, especially when it comes to Revelation (Uncovering, Revealing, Disclosure). The so-called experts all disagree, for there is no consensus among carnal christians. They are as a hung jury. Hence probating the will of God continues, till there is unanimous agreement among all, as to what(?) meaneth: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice"; And that do the will of God precedes receive the promise.

What(?) happens whenever we $uccomb to playing the child-ish blame game? It 'back' fires: "they that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy" (Jonah)...in the same manner as having two Gods results in feeling "forsaken".

Just for fun, only for the puny of it (not for any accusation nor any condemnation to any), let's look at who is still playing the childish blame game, still law imputing sin for the "hell" of it, still being law law, still peddling rapture theories of some only, even though there is no respect of persons with God: The Televangelists, who end up in their hALL of SHAME. Some, the some-what(?), are still being evangelastic, still saying you too can have partiality from an impartial God, not knowing such is an oxyMORON with a BAD ending such as Life + DEATH due to Grace + LAW. $uch are not yet weaned of law, still unable to discern law: "both good + evil" ends badly: evil. Eg: the "evil concupiscence" of another law, which made Paul feel wretched.

No matter, it's a recoverable mental illness. There's no option in "ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free", but there is "change" from ye to you... the you thereof evidently "made" perfect by the God of all grace.

God only wise saw only "good" six times looking in Genesis 1. And the seventh time looking God saw "very good", as if better of such good/better. Better (very good) speaks of us, of them/us in such things are an allegory; for the conclusion of Hebrews 11 speaks of some "better" thing God hath provided for "us". Perhaps that is why(?) the Lord, now that Spirit, is l-o-n-g-suffering to us-ward... so that none perish... from willing ignorance.

Accuser of the brethren exposed: it's Moses' law who accuses you (Jn 5:45). JC will not accuse you (of ye/you), for to do such would also induct him into the hALL of shame, since law, curse thereof, is a catch all, a gotcha "snare" to catch all by catching any one, since there is no respect of persons with God. Hence it behooves us all to be aware, give the "more earnest heed" to what's been said, lest we also be deceived and thereby have "no escape" like "them".

Come (opposite of go) now (opposite of then), let us (opposite of them) reason (opposite of blame) together. God will have mercy, and not sacrifice. God will have grace, and not law. God will have all men saved and aware what they're saved from: law(sin & death)... due to playing the blame game... a schoolmaster which fails every student (Rom 9:31; Heb 7:23; Heb 11: 13,39)

Come now, let us reason together (for no reasoning allowed among them folk): Of the twelve, one was a traitor, another denied him thrice, still another turned back to what was behind him, as a dog returns to his vomit. Of the twelve, two were such trouble makers it moved the (other) ten to indignation. One of such twain, twins like Cain and Abel were, wanted to be left (to make all left behind), the other wanted to be right (but only to make others wrong). And if "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump", well, the twelve are thus leavened.

Now let us, who are converted and raised up in the third day, strengthen our brethren, since a little leaven leaveneth the whole and there is no respect of persons with God. Such revelatory info, wisdom from above, is NOT for any accusation (blame) nor condemnation (sin imputation) to any, rather only for y(our) learning and understanding. Let us make man (kind) of child/man, for the child-ish sort are those who sit in Moses' seat: law, called the "child of hell" (Mt 23), proselyte thereof "more the child of hell" (they impute sin for the hell of it).

Let us not play their childish blame game, for it only inducts all into the hALL of shame, as it did Noah, Moses, all those named in Heb 11: these all died and received not the promises nor the promise. Why? God had some "better" thing for "us" than blind faith in the law, seeing faith: the faith of the Son of God.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
