Grace(not law) unto you, and peace(not confusion),
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth

2Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

Many so-called Christians these days seem to be more at war, with themselves and others, than at peace. Whenever they do talk of peace it's not true peace, but the false peace spoken of in 1Thessalonians 5:3's when they shall say Peace and safety (in law), then sudden destruction of the "no escape" sort (mentioned in Galatians 5:4) comes on them; And like boomerang law being mediated back onto legalists who condemn themselves by law judging others. Dah: whatever you sow, you'll reap; Sow law imputed sin for the hell of it, reap unpardonable sin as a washed (graced) sow returned to her mire (law).

So it begs the question: How did Christians get so warring instead of peaceful, especially if told God is not [the author] of confusion, but [the author] of peace; And Christ is our peace who abolished the law(enmity), not our division nor our war? The answer seems to be they're wrongly dividing the word of truth to Adam2(Them2) of Adam1(Them1)<-->Adam2(Them2) and going with Law2 of Law1<-->Law2; Rather than rightly dividing the word of truth to Christ of (Adam1/Adam2)<-->Christ and to Grace of (Law1/Law2)<-->Grace.

In other words they're only looking at what's better for some of two things instead of looking at what's best for all of three things. By such wrongly dividing the word of truth they're still one of Them of Them vs Them who "oppose themselves" instead of one of Us is neither of Them vs Them. For Them vs Them, Adam vs Adam, Law vs Law, are "divided against itself". Any kingdom, city, or house divided against itself shall fall, to desolation: Matthew 12:45; Mark 3:24,25; Luke 11:17. Such fall, to desolation, is notably a fall from grace to law in Galatians 5:4; And it's a "fearful" thing to fall into the (law law) "hands" of the living God(Law) in Hebrews 10:31, whether it be the left hand or the right hand of such Majesty on high. So we're told in 1Corinthians 13, 2Corinthians 3, and Galatians 3 to dismiss the schoolmaster: law, that fails every student, since all who tried to attain righteousness(grace) of the law failed to attain it: Romans 9:31; And to leave the (law law) "principles" in Hebrews 6 in order to go on unto perfection (grace); And to let Law be dead testator of the NT so Grace may be of force: Hebrews 9; And that it's a good(God) thing the heart be established with grace(only), not with laws: Hebrews 13. Grace with you all. Amen.

Simple as 1, 2, 3

Of Great-->Greater-->Greatest: Great speaks of one thing: "great terror" of "great tribulation" of "Baby-lon the great" is twice fallen: "is fallen is fallen" bwd to great<--greater<--greatest. Hence the need to be twice risen if twice fallen, which JC demonstrated by stoop x2 and arise x2 to clear the room of accusers in John 8:3-11. Greater speaks of two things, such as receiving the "greater damnation" of two damnations: Matthew 23:14; Mark 12:40; For a "greater" herb (mustard) shoots out "great" branches for fowl to lodge under. Greatest speaks three things, and only what is the "greatest" of three things: charity "never faileth": 1Corinthians 13. For two law law loves fail as often as people fall in love, get married and divorced, via law both unites and separates. Hence it's be ye reconciled (through Jesus-->Christ)-->to God. But more specifically it's "that God" of this/that Gods: Law/Grace. To wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not (law) imputing sins to them. So of two reconcileds, we're talking reconciled to life (grace), not reconciled to death (law); And by dying to the law to become alive unto God (Grace).

What makes so-called Christians so warring instead of peaceful? They stop at dividing asunder soul and spirit in Hebrews 4:12 (Law1 vs Law2: Rom 8:2; Adam1 vs Adam2: 1Cor 15:45) thinking they're spiritually ok in Law2 of Adam2 because Adam2 is the Lord from heaven; Rather than going on to dividing asunder joints and marrow (Laws and Grace; Adams and Christ) to get to the heart of the matter and actually be ok: alive unto God(Grace) in Christ is the end of the law. Such shortfall (failure to meet the requirement of be ye perfect and merciful as your Father in heaven is perfect and merciful) is as if to stop at Jesus instead of go through Jesus-->Christ to eternal salvation; Or as if to stop at the cross instead of go through the cross (where law gets nailed as the "enmity") to grace void of law; Or as if to stop at the better of two children instead of being man kind of child/man puts away childish things: laws; Or as if to stop at the better of two servants of God on high instead of being no more a servant at all, but friend, son, brother, are "above a servant", as charity is above forgiving one another as the greatest of three things:

    Grace   Christ     Us         Man           Free            Charity   Greatest
    Law2    Adam2    Them2   Children2    Servant2      Love2      Greater
    Law1    Adam1    Them1   Children1    Servant1      Love1      Great

Wrongly dividing the word of truth: Soul vs Spirit

        Law2 of Law1 vs Law2: divided against itself: worse-end: Mt 23:15
        Adam2 of Adam1 vs Adam2: as in Adam all die: no rest: Heb 4:8
        Them2 of Them1 vs Them2: is not wise to compare: 2Cor 10:12
        Such results in having LAW<--Law thoughts and intents of the heart

Rightly dividing the word of truth: Spirit vs Spirit

     Grace of Laws or Grace: dividing asunder Joints <--> Marrow: Heb 4:12
     Mercy of Sacrifices or Mercy: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: Mt 9:13
     Peace of Division or Peace: God authors peace, not confusion: 1Cor 14:33
     Such results in having the heart established "with" grace, not against grace.

Corruption (Law) cannot inherit Incorruption (Grace)

Except a man be born again (chanGed: converted from law to grace), he cannot see the kingdom of God is within you (not with nor in ye do err, greatly and alway). For this corruptible (law law) must put on incorruption (grace), and this mortal (life + death) put on immortality (eternal life): 1Corinthians 15. Born again is not of corruptible seed: law, but of incorruptible seed: grace, as noted in John 3:3 and 1Peter 1:23. Born again is not Law2 of Law1 vs Law2; Rather it's Grace of (Law1 vs Law2) --> Grace. Born again is not Adam2 of Adam1 vs Adam2; Rather it's Christ of (Adam1 vs Adam2) --> Christ. Born again isn't Them2 of Them1 vs Them2; But Us of (Them1 vs Them2) --> Us. For what comes upon them is their own legalism mediated back on them in 1Thessalonians 5:3; But God hath not appointed us to wrath in 1Thess 5:9. So both of them vs them should consider Luke 17, and note if Son of man should come again, it would be with Noahic and Sodomic destruction for "them all". Selah to both USA Republicans vs Democrats. Selah to both Canadian Liberals vs Conservatives. Selah to all playing their part vs your part. For when perfect comes, then that which is in part is done away: 1Corinthians 13. Perfect neither makes sides nor takes a side to have a sides war, since all sides wars have side effects, the most notable side effect of wars being a body bag.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God. A shew involves a comparison, such as comparing disapproved (law) vs approved (grace); But the end result of such study mentioned in 2Timothy 2:15 is approved only, not both disapproved and approved, and especially not approved + disapproved, which is like forgiven + tormented in Matthew 18, saved + destroyed in Jude. We know law is not approved unto God, but disapproved unto God, since the evidence provided makes it "evident" that "no man is justified by the law in the sight of God": Galatians 3:11,12. We also know grace is approved unto God, since "grace and truth came by Jesus Christ": John 1:17, and God did not send his Son to condemn: John 3:17, nor to accuse: John 5:45. And when it comes to them/us, when they shall say Peace and safety (in law) then sudden destruction comes on "them"; But God hath not appointed "us" to wrath: 1Thessalonians 5:3,9. So then comparing Them1(Adam1) vs Them2(Adam2) is not wise: 2Corinthians 10:12, since "as in Adam all die", whether first Adam or last Adam; Which is also to say Romans 8:2 Law vs Law is not wise, especially if it's as Loser vs Loser: divided against itself, and CJ is not JC. So let us "give more earnest heed" to what's been said, in order to "escape" wrath to come; Noting the only other option is "no escape", for them vs them, by part-taking in law vs law, which is noted as "no effect" to you in Galatians 5:4.

Hebrews 4:12 (dividing asunder x2, to get to the heart of the matter)
For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,
and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

If the "thoughts" of the heart are Law1 vs Law2 or even Law vs Grace,
and the "intents" to be right to make others wrong, it's just a blame game,
that inducts all playing their part vs your part into a hall of shame, not fame.

Only by stooping x2 and rising up x2 does Christ clear the room of accusers in John 8:3-11; Where accusers bring the woman caught in adult-ery to Christ, demanding judgment of her. But only after twice stopping (notably to write Law1 and Law2 on the ground) and twice rising up (to what's higher than Law1 vs Law2 in plural divided heavens) do all the accusers of the woman all leave in shame (for in law judging her they also condemn themselves: also make themselves sinners, by "inexcusable" law); Leaving the woman not condemned (not lawed) by any, which is also followed by two things: "neither do I(grace & truth) condemn(law) you", and by "Go and sin(law) no more". Go speaks of "go ye and learn what meaneth I will have mercy and not sacrifice"; With the not part notably being not then, not now, not ever. Go also speaks of "go on unto perfection", and notably by leaving the principles, which is to say "leave" this God (Law) for that God (Grace), which is to say leave high for higher, leave up-right on high for what's above forgiving one another, as the third of three things and also the seventh of seven things:

    charity (1Cor 13)      charity (Col 3)               charity (2Pet 1)
    hope                          forgiving one another       brotherly kindness
    faith                           forbearing one another     godliness
                                      longsuffering   patience
                                      meekness                        temperance
                                      humbleness of mind         knowledge
                                      kindness                         virtue
                                      bowels of mercy              faith

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