Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
This study has pointedly reminded me that the prism, or paradigm, through which I previously viewed these scriptures, was taught and accepted without question or any true biblical scholarship. Hopefully, the washing of water by the Word will eventually cleanse the "stream of understanding" of the residual, obscuring silt.

Hebrews 12:3-5 NKJV
For consider Him, who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
You have not yet resisted to bloodshed (torture or death), striving against sin.
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD (Father), nor be discouraged when you are rebuked (corrected) by Him:
For whom the LORD (Father) loves He chastens (disciplines) and scourges every son He receives.
