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 3:1-18 Remembering When Moses Spoke with God & His Face Shone Brightly

 

Remembering When Moses Spoke with God & His Face Shone Brightly

2 Corinthians 3:1-18   Paul's 2nd Epistle to the Corinthians [in Smaller Chunks] 

Do we begin to commend, [a.k.a. recommend,] ourselves again? Or [do] we need, [like] some others, epistles, [a.k.a. letters,] of [recommendation] to you, or letters of [recommendation] from you? 

You are our [letter,] written in our hearts, known & read [by] all men. [Since, like] you are [openly] declared to be the [letter] of Christ, ministered, [a.k.a. preached,] by us, not written with ink, but [written] with the Spirit of the Living God. [Written] not [on tablets] of stone, but [on] the fleshy [tablets within] the heart. 

And such [as] we have trust through Christ [toward] God. Not that we are sufficient, [a.k.a. able,] [within] ourselves to think [& do] anything [from] ourselves. But our sufficiency, [a.k.a. ability,] is [from] God. Who [has] also made us able ministers of the New Testament. Not of the Letter [of the Law of Moses,] but of the Spirit. For the Letter [of the Law] kills, but the Spirit [gives] life. 

[Galatians 3:9-13 So, then [those, who] are of faith, are blessed [along] with faithful Abraham. For as many [who] are of the works, [deeds,] of the Law, are under the curse. For it is written, Cursed is everyone [who doesn't continue] to do all [the] things, [that] are written in the Book of the Law. But it is evident that no man is justified in the sight of God by the Law. For [it is written in the Scriptures,] The just shall live by faith. And the Law isn't [about] faith; but, The man, [who does] them shall live [by] them. Christ [has] redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us. For it is written [in the Scriptures,] Everyone, [Who] hangs on a tree is cursed.] 

But if the [preaching about] death [is] written & [engraved] in stones was, so glorious, that the children [a.k.a. people,] of Israel couldn't [look directly] [at] the face of Moses, [because] [of] the glory of his countenance.

[Exodus 34:29-30 And it [happened] when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the 2 [tablets] of Testimony, [a.k.a. the 10 Commandments,] in Moses' hand, & Moses [didn't know] when he came down from the mount, that the skin of his face shone while [God] talked with him. And when Aaron, & all the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel saw the skin of [Moses'] face shone; & they were afraid to come [near] him.]

[This] glory was to be done away [with.] [Exodus 34:33-35 And [until] Moses had [finished] speaking with them, he put a [veil] on his face. But when Moses went in [front of] the Lord to speak with Him, he took the [veil] off, until he came out. And he came out, & [spoke] to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, [what] he was commanded.]

[Shouldn't] the [preaching] of the [Holy] Spirit [also] be rather glorious? For if the [preaching about] condemnation [is] glory, the [preaching about] righteousness [exceeds] much more in glory. 

For even [what] was made glorious, [didn't have] glory in this respect, [because] of the glory [of Jesus Christ,] [which excels] [that glory.] For if [what was] done away [with,] was glorious, that which [remains] is much more glorious.

[Since] then, we [who] have such hope, we use [bold, easy to understand] speech. Not [like] Moses, [who] put a veil over his face, [so] that the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, [who] couldn't look [steadily] [at his face, & see] the end of [what] is abolished. 

But their minds were blinded. For until this day, the same [veil remains not taken] away, [through] the reading of the Old Testament. [But] [this veil] is [taken] away [by faith] in Christ. 

But even to this day, when [they] read [about] Moses, the [veil] is [still] upon their [hearts.] [However,] when [their heart] shall [return] to the Lord, the [veil] shall be taken away. Now, the Lord is that Spirit; & where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, [a.k.a. freedom.] 

[Galatians 5:1 Therefore, stand fast, [a.k.a. tight or firm,] in the liberty, [a.k.a. freedom, with which] Christ [has] made us free, & not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.]

But all we, with open [faces, like looking] in a glass, [a.k.a. mirror,] [& seeing] the glory of the Lord, & [we] are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even [like] by the [Holy] Spirit of the Lord.
