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 13:1-14 Paul Is Coming to Those in the Church of Corinth the 3rd Time

 

Paul Is Coming to Those in the Church of Corinth the 3rd Time

2 Corinthians 13:1-14  Paul's 2nd Epistle to the Corinthians [in Smaller Chunks] 

I am coming to you, this 3rd time. [By] the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses every word shall be established, [a.k.a accomplished.] I [previously] told you & [tell] you [ahead of time,] as if I were present, [a.k.a. with you,] the 2nd time. [But since I'm] absent, [a.k.a. not with you,] I now write to [those,] I won't spare, if I come again, & all [others] [who] have sinned [up to now.] [2 Corinthians 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God [humbles] me among you, & that I shall bewail, [a.k.a. mourn,] many [who] have already sinned, & haven't repented of [their:] uncleanness, [a.k.a. sins;] fornication, [a.k.a. adultery;] & lasciviousness, [a.k.a. lustfulness, that] they have committed.] 

Since you seek proof of Christ speaking [through me, [Who] isn't weak [toward] you, but [Christ] is mighty [within] you. For through [the] weakness [of sinful man,] [Jesus Christ] was crucified, though He [still lives through] the power of God. [Acts 2:31-33 [King David] seeing this [beforehand, spoke] of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul wasn't left in hell, & neither did His flesh see corruption, [a.k.a. decay.] God [has] raised this Jesus up, [of which] we are all witnesses. Therefore being [on] the right hand [side] of God, & exalted, having received the promise of the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit, [from] the Father, He [has given] this, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit, out,] which you now see & hear.] 

For we are also weak [followers] in [Jesus Christ,] but we [who believe] shall live with Him, [through] the power of God, toward you. Examine yourselves, & [determine] whether you [truly] [are] in the faith. Prove, [a.k.a. test,] your own selves.

[Don't] you, [yourselves] know, that Jesus Christ is [within] you, [unless] you [are] reprobates, [a.k.a. unworthy,] [Acts 13:46 Then, Paul & Barnabas [grew] bold, & said, It was necessary that the Word of God, should 1st have been spoken to you. But [since] you put it [away] from you, & judge yourselves unworthy of Everlasting Life, [look,] we turn to the Gentiles.]

But I trust that you shall know that we aren't reprobates. Now, I pray to God, that you [shall] do no evil, [a.k.a. wickedness.] Not that we should appear approved, [a.k.a. accepted,] [by Christ,] but that you should do [what] is honest, [although] we [are like] reprobates. 

For we can do nothing against the Truth, but [only] for the Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to him, I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man [comes] to the Father [except] by Me.] 

For we are glad, when we are weak, [because our faith in Jesus Christ makes] you strong. [2 Corinthians 12:9 And [the Lord God] said to me, My grace is sufficient, [a.k.a. enough,] for you. For My strength, [a.k.a. power,] is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, most gladly, I will rather [boast] in my infirmities, [so] that the power of Christ may rest upon me.] 

And we also wish this, even [for] [you] [to be] [perfected.] [1 John 4:12 No man [has] seen God at any time. If we love one another, God [dwells within] us, & His love is perfected in us.] 

Therefore, being absent, I write these things, lest [when] being present, I should [speak] [sharply,] according to the power [that] the Lord [has] given me [for] edification, [a.k.a. instruction,] & not [for] destruction. 

Finally, brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] farewell. Be [perfected;] be [a] good comfort [to others;] be of one mind, [a.k.a. like-minded or in agreement,] & in peace. And the God of Love & Peace shall be with you. 

Greet one another with [a] holy kiss. All the [Lord God's] saints salute you. [May] the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, & the love of God, & the communion of the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit,] be with you all. Amen.
