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.

1st Timothy 1:1-20 The Law of Moses Was Made for the Lawless & the Unholy

 

The Law of Moses Was Made for the Lawless & the Unholy

1st Timothy 1:1-20            Paul's 1st Epistle to Timothy [in Smaller Chunks]

[From:] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the [command] of God our [Savior,] & Lord, Jesus Christ, [Who] is our [only] hope [for Salvation.] To Timothy, my own son, [through] the faith. [May] grace; mercy; & peace [be with you] from God our Father & Jesus Christ our Lord. 

When I went into Macedonia, & [urged] you to still abide, [a.k.a. remain, in] Ephesus, [so] that you [might] change some [of] [those, so] that they teach no other doctrine. 

[Ephesians 4:14-15 That [from now on] we [shall] no [longer] [believe like] children, tossed [back & forth,] & carried [around by] every wind of doctrine, by the: sleight, [a.k.a. trickery,] of men, & the [shrewd plots, by which] they lie in wait, [a.k.a. to ambush,] [in order] to deceive. But [speak] the Truth in love, [so you] may grow up [within the Lord God,] in all things, even Christ, [Who] is the head [of the Church.]

Neither [pay attention] to fables & endless genealogies, [that] [cause disputes over] questions, [but] rather than [that, focus on] godly edifying, [a.k.a. Instruction,] which is [through] faith [in Jesus Christ,] & do so. Now, the end of [this command] is [to have] charity, [from] a pure heart, & a good conscience, [with sincere] faith.

From which, some [have] swerved, [a.k.a. gone off course,] & have [been] [led astray] to vain jangling, [a.k.a. worthless babbling,] desiring to be teachers of the Law, [not] understanding what they say, nor [what] they affirm, [a.k.a. agree is True.] [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to him, I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man [comes] to the Father, [except] by Me.]

But we know that the Law is good, if a man [uses] it lawfully. Knowing this, that the Law isn't made for the righteous man, but for the: lawless; disobedient; ungodly; sinners; unholy; profane; murderers of fathers; murderers of mothers; [killers; sexual traffickers; those who] defile themselves with mankind; [kidnappers;] liars; perjured [people, a.k.a. those who falsely testify;] & if there [are] any other [things] that are contrary to sound doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching,] according to the glorious Gospel [that] was [entrusted] to [me from] the Blessed God. [Romans 6:21-23 What fruit, [a.k.a.benefit,] [did] you [have] then, in those things [of which] you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now, being made free from sin, [by your faith in Jesus Christ, you have] become servants to God, & you have your fruit, [a.k.a. benefit,] [that leads] to holiness, & the end [is] Everlasting Life. For the wages [paid for sin,] sin is death; but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.] 

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, Who [has] enabled me, for He [considered] me faithful, [by] putting me into the ministry [of sharing my faith in Jesus Christ.] [I,] who [previously] [was] a: blasphemer, [a.k.a. disrespectful to the Lord God;] a persecutor [of Christians;] & [caused injury.] [Acts 8:3 As for Saul, [a.k.a. Paul,] he made havoc, [a.k.a. mass devastation,] of the church, entering into every house, & haling, [a.k.a. forcibly dragging,] men & women, & [committed] them [into] prison.] 

But I obtained, [a.k.a. received,] mercy, because I did it ignorantly, [a.k.a. unaware,] [of Jesus Christ,] in [disbelief.] And the grace & love of our Lord was [exceedingly] abundant, with faith which is [through] Christ Jesus. 

This is a faithful, [a.k.a. truthful,] saying, & worthy of all [acceptance:] that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom, I am chief, [a.k.a. the most sinful.] 

[However,] for this [reason,] I obtained, [a.k.a. received,] mercy, [so] that Jesus Christ might [display] all longsuffering, [a.k.a. patiently waiting,] in me 1st, [as] a pattern to [those, who] should [after this] believe [in] Him, [which leads] to Everlasting Life. 

Now [shall] be [honor] & glory to the King, [the:] Eternal, immortal, invisible, & the only wise God forever & ever. Amen. 

I commit this charge, [a.k.a. responsibility,] to you, [my] son, Timothy, [through faith in Jesus Christ,] according to the prophecies [that came] before you, [so] that you [might,] [fight the] good [fight,] [through] [the Lord God.] 

Holding [tightly onto your] faith, [with] a good conscience, which some [have] put away, [regarding] [their] faith, & have [caused] [a] shipwreck, [a.k.a. catastrophe.] 

Of [those] [who] [have done this] [are;] Hymenaeus & Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, [so] that they may learn not to blaspheme, [a.k.a. taking the Lord's Name in vain.] [Exodus 20:7 You [shall] not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain. For the Lord won't hold him quiltless, [who takes] His Name in vain.]
