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.

2 Corinthians 1:1-24 Apostle Paul Tells Believers in Corinth of His Plans to Return There

 

Apostle Paul Tells Believers in Corinth of His Plans to Return There

2 Corinthians 1:1-24   Paul's 2nd Epistle to the Corinthians [in Smaller Chunks] 

[From:] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, [through] the will of God, [plus] Timothy, our brother, [a.k.a. fellow-believer,] to the church of God [that] is [in] Corinth, with all the [Lord God's] saints, [who] are in all [of] Achaia. Grace & peace be to you from God our Father, & from the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Blessed [is] God, the God of all comfort, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of all mercies; Who [comforts] us in all our tribulations, [a.k.a. troubles, so] that we may be able to comfort [those, who] are in any trouble, by the comfort, [with which] we, ourselves, are comforted [by] God.

[Since,] the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation, [a.k.a. comfort,] also [abounds, a.k.a. becomes abundant, through] Christ. And whether we [are] afflicted, it is for your: consolation & salvation. Which is [effective] in enduring the same sufferings, which we also suffer. 

Or [if] we [are] comforted, it is for your: consolation, [a.k.a. comfort,] & salvation. [1 Corinthians 4:9 For I think that God [has sent] us, apostles, [out] last, as [if we] were appointed to death. For we are made a spectacle, [a.k.a. example,] to the: world, angels, & to men.] 

And our hope [for] you is [steadfast, a.k.a. unwavering,] knowing, that [like] you are [participants] of the sufferings, so shall you also be [participants] of the consolation. [Revelation 3:5-6 He, [who overcomes,] the same [person] shall be clothed in white [clothing.] And I won't blot out his name [from] the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father, & before His Angels. He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit [says] to the churches.] 

For brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] we [don't want] you [to be] ignorant, [a.k.a. unaware,] of our trouble, [that happened] to us in Asia. That we were pressed, [a.k.a. pushed beyond:] measure, & [beyond our] strength, [in] that, we despaired even [for our own] [lives.] 

[Acts 19:28-32 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, & cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with confusion. And having caught, [a.k.a. seized,] Gaius & Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord, into the theatre. And when Paul would have entered into the people, the disciples [didn't allow] him [to do so.] And certain of the [officials from] Asia, [who] were [Paul's] friends, sent to him, desiring that he wouldn't [venture] himself into the theatre. Therefore, some cried [out] one thing, & some another. For the [crowd] [assembled,] was confused. For the [majority didn't know why] they [had] come together.]

[Although] we had [a] sentence of death [for] ourselves, we [knew] we shouldn't trust in ourselves, but [should trust] in God, [Who raises] the dead. Who delivered us from such a great death, & [does] deliver. [The Lord God,] in Whom we trust that He will [still] deliver us.

You also [helped] [by] [praying] together for us, [so] that the gift [of food & money] bestowed upon, [a.k.a. presented to] us, by the means, [a.k.a. ability,] of many [people.] May [thanks] be given [to] many on our behalf.

For our rejoicing is this, [that on Christ's behalf we] [testify] in simplicity, & godly sincerity [from] our conscience, & not with fleshly, [a.k.a. worldly or human] wisdom, but by the grace of God. We have [communicated within] the world, & more abundantly [toward] you.

[Acts 20:19-21 [I] [served] the Lord with all humility, [a.k.a. humbleness,] of mind, & with many tears, & temptations, [a.k.a. trials,] which [happened] [to] me, by the Jews [who] [lie] in wait, [a.k.a. to ambush] [me.] And how I kept back nothing that was [beneficial] to you, & have taught you [publicly,] & [went] from house to house, testifying [about] repentance [through] God & faith [in] our Lord Jesus Christ, to both: the Jews & also to the Greeks, [a.k.a. Gentiles.]

We [only] write to you, what you read or acknowledge. And I trust [that] you shall acknowledge [the Lord Jesus Christ,] even, to the end. As you also have [partially] acknowledged us, [so] that we are your [reason for] rejoicing, even [like] you are also ours, [on] the day the Lord Jesus [comes.] 

And [with] this confidence, I [thought] to come to you before, [a.k.a. earlier, so] that you might have a second, [a.k.a. additional] benefit; & to pass [near] you, [on my way] into Macedonia, & come to you again, [when we leave] out of Macedonia. And to be [sent] on my way toward Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea, by] you.

Therefore, when I [thought this,] did I [plan this] [lightly?] Or the things that I [plan,] do I [plan] according to [worldly] flesh, [so] that there should be [both] [yes, yes,] & [no, no, within] me? But [like] God is True, our word, [a.k.a answer, to] you wasn't [yes & no.]

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you, by us, even by me & Sivanus, & Timotheus, [a.k.a. Timothy,] wasn't [yes & no.] But [through Jesus Christ,] [the answer] was, [Yes.] For all the promises of God, in Him, are, [Yes,] & [within] Him, Amen, by us to the Glory of God. 

Now, God is He, [Who establishes] us with you in Christ, & [has] anointed us. Who [has] also sealed, [a.k.a. put His seal on,] us, & [has] given [us] the earnest, [a.k.a. down payment or collateral, from] the [Holy] Spirit, [within] our hearts.

Additionally,] I call [on] God for a record, [of] my [soul's] [intention] to spare you, [so] I [didn't come] to Corinth yet. Not that we have dominion [a.k.a. control,] over your faith, but are helpers, [to assist you in] your joy. [So] you stand [strong through your] faith [in Jesus Christ.]
