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.

Titus 2:1-15 Teach the Young & Old How to Live as Examples of Their Faith in Christ

 

Teach the Young & Old How to Live as Examples of Their Faith in Christ

Titus 2:1-15     The Epistle of Paul to Titus [in Smaller Chunks]

But you, speak the things [that] [are] [appropriate for] sound doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching,] [about Jesus Christ.] That the [older] men [are:] sober; [solemn;] temperate, [a.k.a. balanced in all things;] sound, [a.k.a. strong,] in: faith; charity, [a.k.a. love;] & patience. 

The [older] women [should do the] [same, so] that [their behavior,] [is] [appropriate] [for:] holiness, not [being] false accuser; not [alcoholics;] & [should be] teachers of good things. [So] that, they may teach the young women to be sober; to love their husbands, & to love their children. 

[They are] to be discreet, [a.k.a. tactful;] chaste, [a.k.a. faithful;] & obedient to their own husbands, [so] that the Word of God [isn't] blasphemed, [a.k.a. God's Name isn't used in vain.] 

Young men, [should] [also] [be] [taught] to be sober, [a.k.a. solemn,] minded. In all things [demonstrate yourselves,] [as an example] of: good works, [a.k.a. deeds or actions.] In doctrine, [demonstrate] [yourselves as:] [not corrupt; serious;] & [sincere;] [through:] sound speech; that can't be condemned. [So] that he, [who] is contrary, may be ashamed, having [nothing] evil, [a.k.a. bad,] to say [about] you. 

[Teach] servants to be obedient to their own masters, & in all things, to please them well, not: [talking back; or stealing,] but [displaying] all [loyalty; so] that they may [glorify] the doctrine of God our [Savior] in all things. 

For the grace of God, [Who brings] Salvation, [has] appeared to all men. [Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace & faith, you are saved, but not [through] yourselves. It is the gift of God. Not by works, [a.k.a. deeds,] lest any man should boast. For we are [God's handiwork,] created [through faith] in Christ Jesus, [for doing] good works, [a.k.a. deeds,] which God has [previously] ordained, [a.k.a. determined, so] we should walk, [a.k.a. follow,] [the Lord God,] in [doing] [good deeds.]

Teaching us [so] that, [we] [deny, [a.k.a. refuse,] ungodliness & worldly lusts. We should live [solemnly;] righteously; & godly, [while] in this world [now.] [While,] looking for that blessed hope [of Salvation, & Eternal Life,] [from] [our] great God & our Savior Jesus Christ; [at His] glorious [appearance.] [Revelation 3:20-21 [Watch,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man [hears] My voice, & [opens] the door, I will come in to him, & [dine] with him, & he with Me. I will grant to him, [who overcomes,] to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame, & Am [sitting] down with My Father [on] His throne.]

Who gave Himself for us, [so] that, He might Redeems us from all [sin,] & purify us [as] a [special] people, zealous [about doing] good works, [on behalf of] Himself. [Romans 5:6-8 For when we were [still] without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly. Scarcely for a righteous man, will [someone] die. [Still, perhaps,] for a good man, [someone] would even dare to die. *But God [demonstrates] His love toward us, in that, while we were [still] sinners, Christ died for us.] 

Speak these things, & exhort, [a.k.a. encourage,] & rebuke, [a.k.a. reprimand,] with all authority. Let no man despise, [a.k.a. refuse,] you.
