Notes:

• (re: Rom 15:4)  "...with patience, AND the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have HOPE."  Not for this life, but for our reward: eternal life.
• (re: 1 John 2:19)  "They went out from us, but they were not of us....") [they were not a part of the body, the church], "...if they had been of us, they no doubt would have continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest, that they were not all of us".  The Catholic church proclaims that their 'early church fathers' were contemporaries of the Apostles.  Yet their doctrine is not that of the Apostles.  This is their condemnation by Paul.
• (re:L Is. 55:8) God is GOD!  Carnal man cannot understand 'His ways, His thoughts'.  Man fails to acknowledge this, and thus becomes his own god;l his thoughts,  his desires,  his lusts are unrestrained.  Society today is incontrovertible proof.
  
• (re: Lev. 19:22)  Sodomy is an abomination to GOD.  It is black and white, not gray; not contestible, no '...but! ....but!.  Two cities were destroyed, as a lesson to all generations after, that it is 'black and white'. (see the note above:  GOD's RULES stand.) 
• (re: Col. 1:9)  worldly knowledge is what drives us forward in our understanding of how this world 'is'. Spiritual understanding gives us knowledge about 'WHY'.  A phrase I heard many years ago states:  "Imagination fills in the gaps where there is no understanding present"  We see this in the 'lore' of past cultures, and in our culture. Ghosts, goblins, aliens, and the lies so many people ingest, (believe), about 'what is right vs. wrong'.   These points, these notes, all tie together: "...Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness...."  and "Thou shall LOVE the Lord your God, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself."  These are the greatest commandments, everything else is pedicated, contained, depends on these two, first.
