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.

Going to a Court of Law to be Judged Over Disputes

1 Corinthians 6:1-20   Paul's 1st Epistle to the Corinthians [in Smaller Chunks] 

[Do] any of you dare, having a matter, [a.k.a. issue,] against another, go before,  [the court of] law, to the unjust, & not [go] before the saints? Don't you know that the saints shall judge the world? [Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said to them, [Truly,] I say to you, That you [who] have followed Me, when the Son of Man shall sit [on] the throne of His glory in the regeneration, [a.k.a. spiritual restoration,] you shall also sit upon 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.] 

And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest of matters? [Don't] you know that we shall judge the angels? How much more [worthy you are to judge the] things that pertain to this life? Then, if you have judgments [to be decided] [about] things pertaining to this life, [put those] to judge, who are least esteemed, [a.k.a. least respected,] in the church. 

I speak to your shame, [a.k.a. about what you should be ashamed.] Is it so, that there isn't a wise man among you? No, not [even] one, [who is] able to judge between brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers?] 

But [a] brother [goes] to the law with [a] brother, & [that's in front of] the unbelievers. Therefore, [it] now is [totally] a fault among you, because you go to the law [against] one another. Why don't you [instead,] take, [a.k.a. put up with the] wrong? 

Why [do] you [allow] yourselves to be defrauded, [a.k.a. cheated, instead?] [No,] [but] you do wrong, & [cheat] [someone who is] your brethren. [Don't] you know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? 

Don't be deceived, & neither [be:] fornicators, [a.k.a. unfaithful;] idolaters; adulterers; effeminate; abusers of themselves with mankind; thieves; covetous, [a.k.a. greedy;] drunkards, revilers, [a.k.a. argumentative;] nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God. [Romans 6:20-23 For when you were the servants of sin, you were [without] righteousness. What fruit [did] you [have] then in those things [of which] you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now, being made free from sin, & [have] become servants to God, you have your fruit, [that leads] to holiness, & the end, [leads to] everlasting Life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal Life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.] 

And some of you were such [as these,] but all things aren't expedient, [a.k.a. beneficial.] All things are lawful for me, but I won't be brought under the power, [a.k.a. under the control,] of [anything.] 

Meats, [a.k.a. foods,] [are] for the belly, [a.k.a. stomach,] & the [stomach] [is] for [food.] But God shall destroy both [of] them. Now, the body isn't for fornication, [a.k.a. immoral behavior,] but [your body is] for the Lord. And the Lord [is] for the body. 

And God [has] raised up both: the Lord, & will also raise us up, by His Own power. [Don't] you know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Then, shall I take the members of Christ, & make [the body's] members [united with a] harlot? [Let it not be so.] [Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body, & one spirit, even [like] you are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God & Father of all, Who is above all, & through all, & [within] you all.]

What? [Don't] you know that he, [who] is joined to [a] harlot, is one body? For [God says,] Two shall be one flesh. But he, [who] is joined to the Lord, is one spirit. Flee [from] fornication. Every sin that a man [does] is [done] without the body. [Matthew 15:19 For: evil thoughts; murders; [adultery; fornication,] thefts: false witnesses, [a.k.a. giving false testimonies;] & [blasphemy] proceed out of the heart.] 

But he, [who commits] fornication [sins] against his own body. What? [don't] you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit, [Who] is [within] you, [that] you have [from] God, & you aren't your own? [John 2:19-22 Jesus answered & said to them, Destroy this temple, & in 3 days I will raise it up. Then, the Jews said, Forty-six years, this temple was [being built,] & [will] You [raise] it up in 3 days? But [Jesus spoke about] the temple of His body. Therefore, when [Jesus Christ] was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them. And they believed the Scripture, & the [Words] which Jesus had said.] 

For you are bought with a price. [Matthew 20:28 *Even [like] the Son of Man [didn't come] to be ministered to, [a.k.a. served,] but to minister, [a.k.a. to serve,] & to give His Life [as] a Ransom for many.] 

Therefore glorify God [within] your body, & [within] your spirit, which are God's.
