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.

Proverbs 2:1-22 Wisdom & Understanding Will Guide You

 

Wisdom & Understanding Will Guide You

Proverbs 2:1-22                         Proverbs [in Smaller Chunks]                 

My son, if you will receive my words & [keep] my commands [within] you, so that you [lean] your ear [toward] wisdom & apply your heart to understanding. [Yes,] if you [cry out for] knowledge & lift up your voice for understanding & if you seek [these like] silver & [search for them like you search for hidden] treasures; 

Then, you shall understand the fear [respect] of the Lord & find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom & out of His mouth comes knowledge & understanding. 

[The Lord God stores] up sound wisdom for the righteous. He is a [shield] for [those who] walk [righteously.] He keeps the paths of judgment & [safeguards] the [road] of His saints.

Then, you shall understand righteousness, judgment & equity, [yes,] every good path. When wisdom enters into your heart & knowledge is pleasant to your soul, [the ability to make responsible decisions] shall preserve you & understanding shall keep you: to deliver you from the [road] of the evil man & from the man [who says wicked] things.

[Those] who [go astray] & leave the paths of [righteousness,] to walk in the [roads] of darkness & [those] who rejoice [in doing] evil & delight in the [sexual immorality] of the wicked, whose [roads] are crooked & they [are arrogant] in their paths.

[Wisdom & knowledge will help] to deliver you from the [immoral] woman & even from the [foreigner, who flatters] with her words & [abandons] the [companion] of her [youth] & forgets the covenant [contract] of her God. 

For her house [leans toward] death & her paths to the dead. None [who] go to her, return again & neither [do] they [grasp] the paths [that lead to] life. 

[So,] that you may walk in the [road] of good men & keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land & the [blameless] shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth & the [sinners] shall be [uprooted from] it. 

[Revelation 22:14-15 Blessed are [those who] do [God's] commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates & into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers & [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever] loves & makes [up lies.]
