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.

Paul Tells Thessalonian Believers that Many Send Messages & Pray for Them

1st Thessalonians  1:1-10  Paul's Epistle to Thessalonians [in Smaller Chunks]

[From:] Paul, Silvanus, & Timotheus, [a.k.a. Timothy,] to the church of the Thessalonians, [who] [believe] in God the Father, & in the Lord Jesus Christ. [May] grace & peace be to you, from God our Father, & the Lord Jesus Christ. 

We always give thanks to God for all [of] you, [mentioning] you in our prayers. [We] [remember] your [works, a.k.a. deeds,] of faith; & [labors] of love; [with] patience; & hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our Father, without ceasing. 

Knowing, beloved brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] [of] your election, [a.k.a. selection, by] God. [Colossians 3:12-13 Therefore, as the elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] of God, holy & beloved, put on [within you:] [mercy;] kindness; [humble minds;] meekness, [a.k.a. gentleness;] & long-suffering, [a.k.a. patience,] forbearing, [a.k.a. refraining from impulses,] & forgiving one another. If any man [has] a quarrel against [anyone,] even [like] Christ forgave you, & you also do [the same.]

For our Gospel [didn't] come to you in Word only, but also in power, & [through] the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit, with] much assurance, [a.k.a. confidence, since] you know what [type] of men we were for your sake, among you. [With] us, you became followers of the Lord, having received the Word [of God, through] much affliction, & with joy [from] the Holy Ghost. 

So that you were [examples] to all, [who] believe in: Macedonia & Achaia. For you [shared] the Word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia & Achaia, but your faith [toward] God, is also spread [around] in every place, so that we [didn't] need to [say] anything. [Romans 10:18 But I [said,] Haven't they heard? Yes, [truly,] their sound went into all the earth, & their words to the ends of the world.] 

For they, themselves [demonstrate,] to us, what [type] of [impact our coming] to you had [upon you,] & how you turned to God, from idols to serve the Living & True God. [Luke 24:5-8 And [since] they were afraid, & bowed their faces to the [ground, the 2 men in shining garments] said to them, Why [do] you seek the Living among the dead? [Jesus] isn't here, but is risen. [Don't you] remember how [Jesus Christ spoke] to you when He was in Galilee, saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, & be crucified, & rise again the third day. And they remembered [Jesus'] Words.] 

And to wait for [God's] Son, Whom He raised from the dead [to come] from heaven, even Jesus [Who] delivered us from the wrath to come. [Revelation 11:16-19 And the 24 elders, [who] sat [in front of] God on their seats, fell upon their faces, & worshiped God, saying, We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, [Who Is,] & [Was,] & [Is] to come; because You [have] taken to [Yourself,] Your great power & [have ruled.] And the nations were angry, & Your wrath [has] come, & the time of the dead, [so] that they should be judged, & You [should] give reward to Your servants, the prophets, & to the saints, & [those, who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] Your Name, [powerless & powerful;] & [should] destroy [those, who] destroy, [a.k.a. devastate,] the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, & the Ark of His Testament, was seen in His Temple, & there were; [lightning;] voices; thunderings; an earthquake; & [large] hail.]
