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.

Genesis 3:1-24 Man is Tempted & Consequences of Sin

 

Man is Tempted & Consequences of Sin

Genesis 3:1-24              The First Book of Moses Called Genesis 

The serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field that the Lord God had made. [Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil & Satan, [who] deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth & his angels were cast out with him.] The [serpent asked] the woman, Has God told you that you can’t eat of every tree of the garden? She replied that they could eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, [except for] the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, or touch it, lest you die.

Then the serpent said to her, You surely wouldn’t die, for God knows that the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened & you will be [like God], knowing good & evil. When the woman saw that the tree was pleasant to the eyes & good for food & [desirable] to make one wise, she took the fruit & did eat & gave it also to her husband & he did eat of it. 

Then the eyes of both of them were opened & they knew they were naked & sewed fig leaves together to make themselves aprons. Adam & his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God when they heard Him walking in the garden in the cool of the day among the trees in the garden. The Lord God called to Adam, Where are you? [Adam answered] When I heard Your voice I was afraid & hid myself, because I was naked. [God asked], Who told you that you were naked?

Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? The man said, The woman [You] had given to be with me, gave me  [the fruit of] the tree & I did eat [it.] When God asked the woman, What is this you have done? The woman said, The serpent deceived me & I did eat [of it]. 

The Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle & every beast of the field & you shall go on upon your belly & shall eat dust all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you & the woman & between your seed & *her Seed. He shall bruise your head & you shall bruise His heel. [Acts 26:17-18 Delivering you from the people & from the Gentiles, unto whom I now send you. To open their eyes & to turn them from darkness to Light & from the power of Satan to God, [so] that they may receive forgiveness of sins & inheritance among [those who] are sanctified by faith that is in Me.]

God said to the woman, I will greatly multiply your sorrow & your conception; in [pain] you shall bring forth children & your desire shall be for your husband & he shall rule over you. The Lord God said to Adam, Because you [listened] to the voice of your wife & have eaten from the tree I commanded you not to eat from it, cursed is the ground for your sake & in sorrow you shall eat of it all the days of your life. It shall bring forth both thorns & thistles & you shall eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread [until] you return to the ground for out of it you were taken. For dust you are & to dust you shall return.

Because she was the mother of all living, Adam called his wife’s name, Eve. The Lord God made tunics of skin & clothed Adam & his wife. The Lord God said, Behold, man has become like one of Us, to know good & evil. Now, lest he take also [from] the tree of life & eat & live forever: therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. When He drove out man, the Lord God placed [angels] at the east of the garden of Eden & a flaming sword which turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.
