    Whatever is Beyond Question is Demonic (Galatians 4:1-7)

    Excerpt – Galatians 4:1-7 Nevertheless, I’m telling you, for as long as an heir is a minor, despite being lord of everything, nothing distinguishes them from someone who is enslaved. Rather, they are under caregivers and household managers until the time designated by their father. It is the same for us: When we were children, we were enslaved under the fundamental assumptions of the world systems. But when the appropriate time came, God sent out his son, given birth from a woman and born under Torah, so that those under Torah would be purchased from enslavement and so that we would receive adoption as heirs. So because you are heirs, God sent his son’s Life-breath into our hearts that were calling out, “Abba! (Father!)” So then, no longer are you enslaved but instead are an heir; you are an heir and recipient of the inheritance through God. ...

    Invert and Transgress (Galatians 3:23-29)

    Excerpt – Galatians 3:23-29 However, before the arrival of faithfulness, we were being guarded by Torah enclosed together in anticipation of the faithfulness about to be revealed. So then, the Torah became our nanny for Christ, so that by faithfulness we would be made just. But, since faithfulness has arrived, we are no longer under a nanny. For you are all children of God through the faithfulness of Christ Jesus, for whoever of you were submersed for Christ, you covered yourselves with Christ. One who is within is neither Jew nor Greek, neither enslaved nor free, not “male and female:” You are all one within Christ Jesus. So if you are part of Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs based on a promise. ...

    The Z Axis of Reality (Galatians 3:1-5)

    Excerpt – Galatians 3:1-5 How mindless you Galatians are! Who spellbound you? Wasn’t Jesus Christ openly portrayed in full view as crucified? I only have one question for you: Did you receive the Life-breath by actions from Torah or by a report of faithfulness? Are you so mindless that after beginning with life-breath, now you finish with muscle? Did you go through everything you experienced for nothing—if it really was for nothing? So, does the one who provides Life-breath for you and activates power among you do so by actions from Torah or by a report of faithfulness? ...

    Silly Hats Only (Galatians 2:3-6, 11-14)

    Excerpt (Galatians 1:6-9) Not even Titus who was with me (he being Greek) was required to be circumcised. But that is only necessary to note because of the infiltration of fake members into the Family, those who crept in to spy on our freedom we have with Christ in order to enslave us. We did not—even for a moment—surrender to subjugation to them, so the truth of the triumphant message would continue unchanged for you. However, none of those who were trusted—whatever they had formerly been carries no weight to me; God does not take a person’s status into consideration—those who were trusted did not make any additions to what I laid out for them. … But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he was exposed in wrongdoing. You see, before the arrival of some people from Jacob, he had been eating with people of other ethnicities, but when they arrived, he withdrew and separated himself because he was afraid of them, who were from those who had received circumcision. The rest of the Jews behaved like fellow pretenders with him, and consequently, even Barnabas was led away to being a pretender with them. However, when I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the triumphant message, I said to Cephas in front of everyone, “If you are a Jew adhering to foreign presuppositions and certainly not living like a Jew, how can you require people of other ethnicities to become Jewish?” ...

    Include and Transcend (Galatians 1:6-9)

    Excerpt (Galatians 1:6-9) I am amazed that you are shifting over so soon from the one who called you with Christ’s generosity to a different triumphant message, which is not actually another one, except some people are causing you distress and wanting to turn the message of Christ’s triumph into something different. Instead, even if we—or a messenger from the sky!—announce a triumphant message to you besides the triumphant message we announced to you, consider them designated for destruction! Like we have said before—and I am now saying again—if anyone announces a triumphant message besides what you have received, consider them designated for destruction! ... Credit to Fr.

    Mary Sings (Luke 1:46-50)

    Reading: Luke 1:46-50 And Mary sang, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” ....
