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.

Romans 14:1-23 Differences of Religious Customs

 

Differences of Religious Customs

Romans 14:1-23   The Epistle [a.k.a. Letter] of Paul to the Romans [in Smaller Chunks]

You [shall] receive, [a.k.a. welcome or accept, those, who are] weak in the faith, but not [for counterproductive disputes.] [1 Corinthians 8:9 But [pay attention,] let by any means this liberty, [a.k.a. freedom,] of yours, [becomes] a stumbling-block to [those, who] are weak.] 

For one [believes] that he may eat all things: & another, who is weak [eats] [only] herbs, [a.k.a. is a vegetarian.] Let not him, [who eats] [all things,] despise him, [who doesn't eat] [them.]

[Don't] judge him [who eats:] for God has received, [a.k.a. accepted,] him. Who [are] you, [who judges] another man's servant? He [stands] or [falls] to his own master. [Yet,] he shall be [held] up, for God is able to make him stand. 

One man [esteems, a.k.a. respects,] one day above another. Another, [respects] every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He, [who regards] the day, [let him] [regard] it to [honor] the Lord. 

And he, [who doesn't regard] the day, [let him] not regard it to [honor] the Lord. He, [who eats,] [let him eat to honor] the Lord, for he [gives] God thanks. And he, [who doesn't eat,] & [doesn't eat, to] [honor] the Lord, & [he] [gives] God thanks. [1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat, or drink, or [whatever] you do, do all to the glory of God.] 

For none of us [live] [alone,] to himself. And no man [dies] to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord. And whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or die, we are the Lord's. [2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For the love of Christ [constrains, a.k.a. limits,] us, because we judge [this,] That if One died for all, then all were dead. And [Christ, Who] died for all, [so] that [from now on, those who] live, shouldn't live unto themselves, but unto Him, [Who] died for them, & rose again.] 

Christ both died, [arose,] & revived, [a.k.a. was resurrected from the dead,] for this [reason, so] that He might be Lord of both: the dead & [the] living. [John 3:16-17 *For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, [so] that [whoever believes] in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life. For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world might be saved through Him.] 

But why [do] you judge your brother? Or why [do] you [undermine] your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written [in the Scriptures,] The Lord [says,] As I Live, every knee shall bow to Me, & every tongue shall confess to God. 

So then, everyone of us shall give [an] account [for] himself to God. Therefore, let's not judge one another any more. But [instead] judge this, [so] that no man [puts] a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's [path.] 

I am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, & know that there is nothing unclean of itself. But to him, [who regards] anything [as] unclean, to him it's unclean. But if your brother [is] grieved [by] your meat, [a.k.a. food,] now, you [aren't] [walking] charitably.

[Don''t] destroy him, for whom Christ died, [by] your [food.] Then, [don't] let your good be spoken of [as] evil. For the Kingdom of God is not [about] meat, [a.k.a. food,] & drink. But [the Kingdom of God is about:] righteousness, peace, & joy in the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit.] 

For if he [who serves] Christ in these things, is acceptable to God, [he should be] approved, [a.k.a. accepted, by] men. Therefore, let's follow [according] [to] the things, [that produce:] peace, & [these] things, [with which, everyone] may edify, [a.k.a. encourage,] one another. 

For meat, [a.k.a. food, doesn't] destroy the work of God. Indeed, all things are pure, but it's evil for that man who [deliberately] [eats] [it] with offence, [a.k.a. disrespectfully.] 

It is neither good to eat flesh, [a.k.a. meat,] nor to drink wine, nor anything, [by which] your brother [stumbles;] or is offended, or is made weak. [Do] you have faith? Have it [privately within] yourself, before God. 

Happy is he, [who doesn't condemn] himself, [by what] things, he allows, [a.k.a. approves of.] And he, [who doubts] [whether he should eat it or not,] is [condemend,] if he [eats] [it,] because he [isn't] [eating it through] faith. For [whatever] isn't [done] [through] faith, is sin.
