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.

2 John:1-13 Beware of Deceivers, Who Don't Confess Jesus Christ Has Come in the Flesh

 

Beware of Deceivers, Who Don't Confess Jesus Christ Has Come in the Flesh

2 John:1-13          The 2nd Epistle, [a.k.a. Letter,] of John [in Smaller Chunks]

[To:] the elder lady, elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] & her children, whom I love [through] the Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to [Thomas,] I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man [come] to the Father, [except] by Me.]

And not only I [love her,] but also all [those, who] have known the Truth. For the Truth's sake, [Who dwells, a.k.a. lives, within] us, & shall be with us forever. Grace, mercy, & peace, from God the Father, & from the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, be with you in Truth & love. [Romans 1:12 To all, beloved of God, called to be saints, [who are] in Rome, Grace, & peace [be] to you, from God our Father, & the Lord, Jesus Christ.]

I greatly rejoiced that I found [those] of your children walking, [a.k.a. following,] in the Truth, [like] we, [who] have received a commandment from the Father. And now, lady, I [urge] you, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that [commandment,] that we love one another, which we had from the beginning. [John 15:10-12 If you keep My commandments, you shall abide, [a.k.a. remain,] in My love. Even [like] I have kept My Father's commandments, & [remain] in His love. I have spoken these things to you, [so] that My joy might remain in you, & that your joy might be full, [a.k.a. fulfilled.] This is My commandment, That you love one another, [like] I have loved you.]

And this is love: that we walk, [a.k.a. follow, according to] His commandments. [Like] you have heard from the beginning, This is That commandment, & you should [follow] in it. 

For many deceivers [have] entered into the world, who [don't] confess that Jesus Christ [has] come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, & an antichrist. [1 John 2:18-19 Little children, [a.k.a. inexperienced Christians,] it is the last time, [a.k.a. end times.] And [like] you have heard, that antichrist shall come, & even now there are many antichrists, [by which] we know that it is the [end times.] They went out from us, but they weren't of, [a.k.a. among,] us. For if they had been [among] us [believers in Jesus Christ,] no doubt, they would have continued with us. But they went out, [so] that they might [make] manifest, [a.k.a. apparent,] that they weren't of us all.] 

Look [after] yourselves, [so] that we [don't] lose those things, which we have [accomplished.] [Mark 13:10-13 And the Gospel must first be published, [a.k.a. proclaimed,] among all nations. But when they shall lead you, & deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what you shall [say,] & neither [are] you [to] premeditate, [a.k.a. pre-plan.] You speak [whatever] shall be given [to] you in that hour. For it isn't you, [who speaks,] but the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit.] Now, the brother shall betray the brother to death, & the father [shall betray] the son. And children shall rise up against their parents, & shall cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated [by] all men for My Name's sake. But he, [who] shall endure [until] the end, the same shall be saved.]

But that we receive a full reward. [Revelation 3:5 He, [who overcomes,] the same [person] shall be clothed in white [clothing.] And I won't blot out his name [from] the Book of Life, but I will confess his name [in front of] My Father, & before His Angels.]

[Whoever sins,] & [doesn't abide, a.k.a. remain,] in the doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching,] of Christ, [doesn't have] God. [Mark 7:6-7 [Jesus] answered & said to them, [Isaiah has] prophesied well of you hypocrites. [Like] 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.]

He, [has] both the Father & the Son, he, [who] abides, [a.k.a. remains,] in the doctrine of Christ. [John 8:29-32 And He, [Who] sent Me is with Me. The Father [hasn't] left Me alone. For I always do those things that please Him. As [Jesus spoke] these Words, many believed [in] Him. Then, Jesus said to those Jews, [who] believed [in] Him, If you continue in My Word, then you are indeed My disciples. And you shall know the Truth, & the Truth shall make you free.]

If any come there to you, & [don't] bring this doctrine, [don't] receive, [a.k.a. welcome,] him into your house, & neither bid him: God speed. [Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, [who] come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are [ravenous] wolves.]

For he, [who bids] him God speed, is a [participant in] his evil deeds. [Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole [armor] of God, [so] that you may be able to stand [up] against the wiles, [a.k.a. tricks,] of the devil. For we don't] wrestle against flesh & blood, but against: principalities; powers; rulers of the [world's] darkness, & against spiritual wickedness in high places.]

[I] [have] [too] many things to write to you, [that] I won't write with paper & ink. But I trust to come to you, & speak face to face, [so] that joy may be full, [a.k.a. fulfileld.] The children, [a.k.a. new believers,] of your [chosen] sister, [greets] you. Amen.
