Hello, My ECP Family and whoever else finds this message. Welcome to our 3/26/26 ECP study. For the past few ECP studies (3/11/26 and 3/4/26 postings), I have attempted to pad your minds with information related to biblical essence through: The Old and New Testament and their perspective spans of content; their contextual individuality and interrelations; contextual descent; and contextual credibility. Today's attempt: To salubriously pique your psyches through additional intrinsicalness that greater identifies content within the testaments. Today's attemptable strategy: Your salubrious pique initiated through a seed of parallelism. Most of you, to some proportion, are familiar with parables. Parables mean 'putting alongside for purposes of comparison or new understandings. Juxtaposition, comparison, and illustrations which have several senses including to lay one thing beside another, to compare, and parallelism'. In the New Testament, the final canonical authority for us as Christians, it applies to sayings or stories that seek to drive home a point the speaker wishes to emphasize by illustrating it from a situation of common life. Comparatively to parables, poetry can be used for the same purpose to drive home a biblical point that emphasizes intrinsic identity pertaining to content of scripture.
Court Reporter Poem:
"With fingers swift and focused mind, You capture truth in every line. Each word and phrase, each strongly reply, recorded clear as moments fly. You do judge, nor take aside, but guard the truth that words provide. A silent voice, yet key to all, you frame the facts behind the call. In courtroom halls your duty lies, where justice lives and stories rise. Through tension, trial, calm, or plea, you write the path of history. Your work unseen, yet felt so deep, in every file the courts must keep. With skill unmatched, you serve with grace, preserving truth in time and place. A steady hand and listening heart, courts quiet strength, you play your part" ~ Anonymous Author.
The court reporter is the non-condemning writer who's real-time contextual writings are at best ''distantly viewed" yet publicaly known; who's responsible for the sacredness (the court's set apart - dedicated purposes that connotes reverence and authority; and who understands sacredness (the court's set apart - dedicated purposes that connotes reverence and authority) illustrates conclusions. It's juxtaposition whereby the writer of the court COMPARED TO the writer (author) of scriptures: The sacredness and authority (earthly) of the court compared to sacredness and authority (divine) of scriptures; Adherents (society including the writer of the court) subject to courts compared to adherents (society and writers - authors of scripture) subject to God illustrated by scriptures; in whom ALL involved have healthy perspective relations when the concoction of sacredness and purpose is preserved and unhealthy perspective relations when sacredness and purpose is not preserved.
To drive the main point home today, hopefully REAL PONDERING about the state of the court reporter's healthy relationship with the courts distends salubrious pique within your mentalities regarding your personal relationships with the scriptures. Consequently, let's listen to a fragment of God's voice and its definitions thereof, 'distantly viewed' derived from the author of scripture previous real-time writing, that depicts uncompromising concoction of sacredness and purpose that's a must for your personal healthy relationship(s) with scripture(s). The following are words and their definitions being fragments of God's voice to you illustrating conditions that are incapable of being revoked (irrevocable - conditions that are incapable of being cancelled or rescind) in your personal healthy relationship(s) with scriptures. Comparatively, the Apostle Paul exhortation to his son in the faith Timothy pertaining to his (Timothy's) faithfulness to his personal relationship with the scriptures which identifies faithfulness for you (same words applies):
HOLY (Hieros) - means sacred, consecrated to deity, pertaining to God; the sacred scriptures, because inspired by God, treating the divine things and therefore to be devoutly revered, translated, - holy.
SCRIPTURES (Graphe) - means of the Old Testament scriptures (those accepted by the Jews as canonical) and all of the New Testament which are to be accepted by Christians as authoritative; these latter were to be discriminated from the many forged epistles and other religious writings already produced and circulated in Timothy's time. Such discrimination would be directed by the fact the 'all scripture' is inspired by God and is profitable for purposes mentioned.
PROFITABLE (Ophelimos) - means useful translates to profitable; of the God-breathed scriptures.
REFROOF (Elegchos from Elegch0) - means proof, evidence, conviction. To rebuke another with the truth so that the person confess, or at least convicted of his sin. Although convicted, he may not be convinced.
CORRECTION (Epanorthosis) - means straightening up again, restoration, an upright or right state; improvement of life and character.
INSTRUCTION (Paideins - SYN of Nouthesia) - means calling attention to, mild rebuke, or warning, literally putting in mind.
RIGHTEOUSNESS (Dikaiosune) - means character or quality of being right (correct) or just.
Therefore, just as Timothy, irrevocably in order for a Christian (us ECP Family) to possess proper relationship(s) with the scriptures (the same as saying the proper relationship with God himself), mentalities and hearts must accept (fragmentally illustrated here) the intrinsic essence and purpose(s) of scriptures depicted as above: 1) Acceptance of New Testament canonical writings (excluding unauthorized writings - many illustrated in our previous ECP Study.) Acknowledgement that any discrimination of writings that have not been approved, 2) Acceptance of all New Testament canonical scriptures (excluding unauthorized writings.) Acknowledgement of any discrimination in writings is approved being that the specific writings discriminated against does work against God's will-desire (illustrated by rightly divided New Testament canon specifically for the Chrisitan. If not, then it's heresy for the Christian) 3) Acceptance of New Testament canonical writings are to be put to use, practical, worthy, and serviceable for a 'beneficial end', 4) Acceptance of New Testament canonical writings are useful to bring forth confession and conviction (purposed to ultimately repent.) 5) Acceptance of New Testament canonical writings are useful for the improvement of life and character, and 6) Acceptance of the New Testament canonical writings are useful to bring attention and warnings positioning one to be right (correct) and just. All this is essence identifies a proper relationship with the scriptures that can be compared to a court reporter's proper relationship with the courts, both properness upheld by the concoction of sacredness and purpose with perspective contexts.
God bless you and your families. I hope that the content within this ECP Study provokes healthy contemplations, healthy evaluations, and blessed 'beneficial ends-outcomes' with your personal relationships with the Holy Scriptures.
