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.

1 Corinthians 2:1-16 Who Understands the Thoughts of the Lord God?

 

Who Understands the Thoughts of the Lord God?

1 Corinthians 2:1-16   Paul's 1st Epistle to the Corinthians [in Smaller Chunks] 

And brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] when I came to you, I [didn't come] with: [excellent] speech, or wisdom, declaring the testimony of God to you. For I [decided] not to know anything among you, [except] [about] Jesus Chist, & Him crucified. 

And I was with you in [times of:] weakness; fear, & much trembling. And my speech, & my preaching wasn't with enticing words [from] man's wisdom, but [were] [with] demonstration, [a.k.a. evidence,] [of] the [Holy] [Spirit] & Power.   [2 Peter 1:16 For we haven't followed [cleverly] devised fables, when we made known to you, the Power & the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.] 

[So] that, your faith should stand [on] the wisdom of men, but [stand] [on] the Power of God. [Romans 1:16 For I'm not ashamed of the Gospel [about] Christ, for it is the Power of God, [that leads] to Salvation, to everyone, [who believes.] First to the Jew, & also to the Greek, [a.k.a. Gentiles.]

[Still,] we speak [of] wisdom among [those, who] are [perfected, a.k.a. brought to perfection, still] not [through] [worldly] wisdom, nor the [rulers] of this world, [who] come to [nothing.] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world [existed,] [till] our glory. 

Which none of the princes, [a.k.a. rulers,] of this world knew, for [if] they had known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. But [like] it is written [in the Scriptures,] Eye [hasn't] seen, nor ear heard, & neither have the things [that] God [has] prepared for [those, who] love Him, entered into the [hearts] of man. 

But God [has] revealed [these] to us, [through] His Spirit. For the [Holy] Spirit searches all things, [yes,] [even] the deep things of God. [Ephesians 3:3-6 How [the Lord God] made known to me the mystery, [through] revelation; (as I [previously] wrote in [a] few words, [by which,] when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery [about] Christ) which wasn't made known in [previous times] to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to His Holy apostles, & prophets [through] the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, & [from] the same body, & [participants] of [the Lord God's] promise [through] Christ [in] the Gospel.] 

For what man [knows] the [deep, dark] things [about] a man, [except] the spirit of man, which is [within] him? [1 Kings 8:39 Then, You hear in heaven in Your dwelling place, & forgive, & do give to every man, according to his ways, whose heart You [know.] For You, even only You, [know] the hearts of all the children of men.]

Even so, no man [knows] the things [about] God, [except] the [Holy] Spirit of God. Now, we haven't received the [worldly] spirit, but the [Holy] Spirit, which is [from] God. [So] that we might know the things that are freely given to us [from] God. 

Also we speak [about these] things, not in the words [that] man's wisdom [teaches,] but [Words] which the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit teaches,] comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual. But the natural, [a.k.a. worldly,] man [doesn't receive] the things [from] the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, & neither can he know, [a.k.a. understand] them, because they are spiritually discerned, [a.k.a. understood.] 

But He, Who is Spiritual [judges] all things, [still] He, Himself, is judged [by] no man. [Revelation 22:12-15 *And [watch,] I come quickly; & My reward is with Me; & shall be to give every man according to his work, [a.k.a. deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those, who] do His 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] [to invent] & [make] [up] [lies.]

For who [has] known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. [Romans 11:34-36 For who [has] known the mind of the Lord? Or who [has] been His [advisor?] Or who [has] 1st given to Him, & it shall be [repaid] to him again? For all things are for [God,] & through [God,] & to God, to Whom be glory forever. Amen.]
