About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

Psalm 38:1-22 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

Psalm 38:1-22            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, [don't chastise] me in Your [anger.] Neither [bring me low] in Your hot displeasure. For Your arrows stick [tight within] me & Your hand presses me [down.] 

There is no [stability] in my flesh, because of Your anger. Neither is there any rest [for] my bones, because of my sin. For my [sins overwhelm me, like] a heavy burden, [that is] too heavy for me [to carry.] 

My wounds stink & are [disgusting,] because of my foolishness. I am troubled & [terribly] bowed down. All day long, I go mourning. For my [body] is filled with a [repulsive] disease & there is no [stability] in my flesh. I am [weak] & [very] broken. I have [groaned, because] of the [unrest within] my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before You & all my [groans aren't hidden] from You. My heart pants & my strength fails me. For the light of my eyes [has] also gone from me. 

My friends & [those whom I love,] stand [unsympathetic, because of] My [affliction] & My [relatives] stand [far away.] [Those who] also seek after My life, lay [traps] for Me & [those who] seek to [harm] Me, [plot & speak of deceitful plans] all day long.

[Matthew 26:3-4 Then assembled together the chief priests, scribes & elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas & consulted [so] they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.]

But I, [like] a deaf man, [didn't] hear & I was [like] a [mute] man, [who doesn't] open his mouth. [Isaiah 53:6-7 All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way & the Lord has laid on Him the [sin] of all of us. 

He was oppressed & He was afflicted, yet He [didn't] open His mouth. He is brought [like] a lamb to the slaughter & [like] sheep before [its] shearers [are mute,] so He [didn't] open His mouth.] 

Thus, I was [like] a man [who doesn't] hear & in whose mouth [there] are no [warnings.] O Lord, for I do hope in You. You will hear, O Lord, my God. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips. 

They magnify themselves against me. For I am ready to fall] & my sorrow is continually before me. I will be sorry for my sins: For I will declare [my] iniquities. But [my] enemies are [vigorous] & they are strong.

[Those who] wrongfully hate Me, are multiplied. Also, [those who give] evil for good, are My adversaries, because I follow [what] is good. [Romans 12:2 And [don't act in accordance] to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may [test] what is that good, acceptable & perfect will of God.]

O Lord, [don't abandon] Me. O my God, [don't be far from Me. [Hurry] to help Me, O Lord, My Salvation. [Mark 15:34 and at the 9th hour Jesus cried [out] with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, My God, why have You [abandoned] Me?]
