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 4:1-16 Not Being Deceived by Evil Lies that Dead People Astray

 

Not Being Deceived by Evil Lies that Dead People Astray

1st Timothy 4:1-16            Paul's 1st Epistle to Timothy [in Smaller Chunks]

Now the [Holy] Spirit [clearly says,] That in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith [in Jesus Christ,] [paying attention] to seducing spirits, & doctrines of [demons.] [Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, [who] come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are [ravenous] wolves.]

Having their conscience seared with a hot [branding] iron, [a.k.a. they are incapable of feeling guilt,] speaking lies [by] hypocrisy. [Mark 7:6-7 [Jesus Christ] answered & said to them, [Isaiah has] prophesied well [about] you hypocrites, as it is written [in the Scriptures,] This people [honor] Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. [However,] they worship Me in vain, teaching the commandments of men, for doctrines.] 

Forbidding [them] to marry, & commanding [them] to abstain from meats, [that] God [has] created to be received with [giving thanks from those, who] believe, & know 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 every creature of God is good, & [isn't anything] to be refused, if it [is] received with [giving thanks] [to the Lord God.] For [this food,] is sanctified by the Word of God & [through] prayer. 

If you [remind] the brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers, about] these things, you [shall] be a good minister [sharing the faith] of Jesus Christ, nourished up, [a.k.a. raised,] in the Words of faith, & good doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching, which] you have attained, [a.k.a. accomplished.] 

But refuse [the] profane, [a.k.a. what is disrespectful to the Lord God,] & old wives' fables, [a.k.a. old wives' tales,] & [instead,] exercise yourself, [a.k.a. train yourselves, in] godliness. [2 Timothy 2:15-16 Study to [demonstrate] yourself approved [by] God, a work-man, [sharing his faith in Jesus Christ,] [who doesn't need] to be ashamed, rightly dividing, [a.k.a. correctly spreading,] the Word of Truth. But shun, [a.k.a. avoid,] profane & vain babblings, [a.k.a. gossip,] for they will increase [& lead to] more ungodliness.] 

[Since,] bodily exercise [has] little [benefit.] But godliness is profitable, [a.k.a. beneficial, for] all things. [And godliness has the] promise of the life, that [currently] is, & that which is to come. [John 3:15-17 That [whoever believes] in Him, should not perish, but have Eternal Life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that [whoever believes] in Him, should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world, through Him, might be saved.] 

This is a faithful, [a.k.a. truthful,] saying, & worthy of all [accepting, a.k.a. receiving,] [it.] Therefore, we both: [labor, a.k.a. work,] [sharing our faith in Jesus Christ,] & suffer reproach, [a.k.a. disgrace,] because we trust in the Living God, Who is the [Savior] of all men, [especially] those, [who] believe [in Jesus Christ.] 

Command these things & teach [them.] [Don't] let [any] man despise his youth, [a.k.a. his young age.] But you [are to] be an [example] of the believers [in Jesus Christ, & how to conduct yourselves] in [words;] in [conversations;] in charity, [a.k.a. love;] in spirit; in faith; & in purity, [a.k.a. with virtue.] 

[Until] I come, [pay attention] to: reading [the Word of God;] to exhortation, [a.k.a. enlightening;] & to [teaching the] doctrine [of Jesus Christ.] [2 John 2:9 [Whoever sins] & [doesn't abide, a.k.a. remain] in the doctrine of Christ, [doesn't have] [faith in] God. He, [who remains] in the doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching,] of Christ, he [has] [faith in] both the Father & the Son.]

[Don't] neglect the gift that is [within] you, which was given [to] you, [through] prophecy [about Jesus Christ,] with the laying on of hands [from those] of the presbytery, [a.k.a. Spiritual leaders of the church.] 

Meditate, [a.k.a. Think about,] these things; & [totally] give yourself to them, [so] that [what] you [gained] [from doing these things,] may appear to all. 

[Pay attention] to yourself, & to the doctrine [of Jesus Christ, to] continue in them. For in doing this, you [shall] save both: yourself, & [those, who] hear you.
