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.

Deuteronomy 6:1-25 The Lord’s Commandments are to be Taught to the Younger Generations

 

The Lord’s Commandments are to be Taught to the Younger Generations

Deuteronomy 6:1-25      Deuteronomy the Fifth Book of Moses

Now, these are the commandments, [mandates] & judgments [that] the Lord your God commanded to teach you, [so] you might do them in the land [where] you are [going] to possess it.

[So] you might fear [respect] the Lord your God & keep all His [mandates,] commandments & [teach] your sons & your [grandsons,] all the days of your life & that your [life] my be prolonged.

Therefore, O Israel, hear & [pay attention] to do [these, so] it [goes] well [for] you & you might [multiply &] increase [greatly,] in the land flowing with milk & honey, as the Lord God of your [forefathers] has promised you.

O Israel, hear: The Lord our God is one Lord & you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, & all your might. These words [that] I command you [today] shall be in your heart & you shall diligently teach them to your children.

You shall talk [about] them when you [sit] in your house, when you walk by the [road,] when you lie down & when you rise up [in the morning.] [Tie] them on your hand for a sign [to remember this] & they shall be like a [pendant] between your eyes. 

You shall [also] write them upon the posts of your house & on your gates. When the Lord your God [brings] you into the land [that] He [swore] to your [forefathers:] to Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob [a.k.a. Israel] to give you [tall] & [big] cities [that you didn’t build.]

[With] houses full of all [types] of good things, [that] you [didn’t fill] & wells [dug that you didn’t dig.] [Also,] vineyards & olive [groves that you didn’t plant.] 

[But] when you have eaten & [are] full, then [be careful,] lest you forget the Lord [Who] brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. You shall fear [respect] the Lord your God & serve Him & shall swear [an oath] by His Name. 

You shall not go [astray] after other gods, of the people around you. (For the Lord your God is a jealous God among you). Lest the anger of the Lord your God [grows] against you & [destroys] you off the face of the earth.

You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted Him in Massah. [Luke 4:11-13 And n their hands, they shall [lift] you up, lest at any time You shall dash Your foot anaginst a stone. And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, de departed from Him for [some time.] You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God & His testimonies & His [mandates, that] He has commanded you.

You shall do [what] is right & good in the sight of the Lord, [so] it may [go] well [for] you & that you may go in & possess the good land [that] the Lord [swore] to your [forefathers] & to cast out all your enemies before you, as the Lord [had] spoken.

And when your son [asks] you in [a] time to come, saying, What [do the] testimonies, [[mandates] & judgments mean, [that] the Lord our God has commanded you? 

Then, you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s [slaves] in Egypt & the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And the Lord [showed] signs & wonders [that were] great & [severe in] Egypt, upon Pharaoh & all his household, before our eyes.

[The Lord God] brought us out from [there,  so] He might bring us in, to give us  the land [that] He [swore] to our [forefathers.] 

The Lord commanded us to do all these [mandates,] to fear [respect] the Lord our God, for our good always, [so] that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day.

If we [are careful] to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us & it shall be our righteousness. [2 Timothy 3:15-16 And from a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, [that] are able to make you wise [leading to] Salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God & is [beneficial] for doctrine, disapproval, [correction] & for instruction in righteousness.]
