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.

Galatians 6:1-18 Planting & Harvesting to the Worldly Flesh or to the Spirit of the Lord

 

Planting & Harvesting to the Worldly Flesh or to the Spirit of the Lord

Galatians 6:1-18     The Epistle of Paul to the Galatians [in Smaller Chunks]

Brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] you, [who] are spiritual, if a man is [taken over] [through] a fault, [a.k.a. weakness,] restore [someone] such [as this,] in the spirit of meekness, [a.k.a. humility,] considering, [a.k.a. examining,] yourself, lest you also [are] tempted. 

Bear, [a.k.a. support,] one another's burdens, & [doing] so [fulfills Christ's] Law. For if a man, [thinks] himself to be something [important,] when he's nothing, he [deceives] himself. 

But let every man prove, [a.k.a. test,] his own work, & then, he shall have rejoicing alone, [within] himself, & not [rely on] another. For every man shall bear, [a.k.a. carry,] his own burden. 

Let him, [who] is taught in the Word [of God, to] communicate to [Jesus Christ, [Who teaches] all good things. [Matthew 5:5-7 And seeing the multitudes, [Jesus] went up into a mountain, & when He was [situated,] His disciples came to Him. And He opened His mouth, & taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for the Kingdom of heaven is theirs. Blessed are [those, who] mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, [a.k.a. humble:] for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are [those, who] hunger & thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.] 

God is not mocked, [so] [don't] be deceived. For [whatever] a man [sows,] he shall also reap, [a.k.a. harvest,] that. For he, [who sows,] to his [sinful] flesh, shall reap [what causes] corruption, from his [sinful] flesh. But he, [who sows] to the [Holy] Spirit, shall reap Everlasting Life [from] the [Holy] Spirit. 

And [don't] let us [become] weary, [a.k.a. tired,] [of] doing well, [a.k.a. good.] For we shall reap, in due season, if we [don't] faint, [a.k.a. give up.] Therefore, let us do good to all men, as we have [an] opportunity [to do so,] especially to [those] who are of the household of faith [in Jesus Christ.] 

You see [what] a large letter I have written to you, with [my] own hand. [Like] many desire to make [an] [impression] & [require] you to [become] circumcised in the flesh, lest they should suffer persecution for [Christ's] [death on] the cross. 

For neither are [those] who are circumcised themselves, [keeping] the Law [of Moses.] But [they] desire to have you circumcised, [so] that they may glory, [a.k.a. boast,] in your flesh. [1 Corinthians 1:18-20 For preaching [about] the cross is foolishness to [those, who] perish; but it is the power of God, to us, [who] are saved. For it is written [in the Scriptures;] I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, & I bring the understanding of the prudent, [a.k.a. shrewd,] to nothing. Where [are] the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? [Hasn't] God made the wisdom of this world foolish?] 

But God [forbids] that I should [boast, except] [about] the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, Whom by the [sinful] world is crucified, [Who rose again, & provided Eternal Life] to me, & I [am  called to carry my faith in Jesus Christ] to the world. [1 Peter 2:21-24 For you were called even [to this,] because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, [so] that you should follow [in] His steps: Who [didn't] sin, neither was [deceit] found in His mouth: Who, when He was [ridiculed, didn't ridicule] again. When He suffered, He [didn't threaten,] but committed Himself, to Him, [Who] judges Righteously. Who His Ownself bare, [a.k.a. carried] our sins in His Own body on the [cross made from a] tree, [so] that we, being dead to sins, should live to Righteousness, by Whose stripes, [a.k.a. whip marks,] you were healed.] 

For neither [does] circumcision, nor uncircumcision, [benefit] anything, but [becoming] a new creature, [a.k.a. creation,] [through] Christ Jesus [does.] And [may] peace, & mercy be on [those,] & upon the Israel of God, as many as walk, [a.k.a. follow,] according to this rule. 

From [now on,] let no man trouble me: for I bear, [a.k.a. carry,] in my body, the [whip] marks [for sharing my faith with others for] the Lord Jesus. Brethren, [may] the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
