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.

Job Scolds His So-Called Friends

Job 13:1-28                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

[Look, my] eye has seen all [of] this & [my] ear has heard & understood it. What you know, I also know the same. I'm not inferior to you. Surely, I would speak to the Almighty & I [want] to reason with God. But you [make up] lies & are all [worthless] physicians.

O that you would [all] hold your peace! [That] should be your wisdom. Now, hear my reasoning & [listen] to my [pleading] lips. Will you speak wickedly [on God's behalf]? [Will you] talk deceitfully for Him? Will you [show favoritism to God?] Will you [argue] for God? 

[Isn't] it good that He should [check] you out? Or do you mock [God, like] one man mocks another? He will surely [reprimand] you if you secretly [show favoritism to] persons. [Won't God's excellence] make you afraid? And [fear of] Him [overwhelm] you?

Your [ancient memories] are [similar to] ashes & your [defenses are like those] of clay [that crumbles.] Hold your peace & [leave] me alone, [so] I may speak & let [happen to me, whatever] will [happen.] [Why] do I take my life in [my own hands & barely escape by the skin of] my teeth?

[Even if God were to kill] me, [still] I will trust in Him. But I will maintain [my] own ways before Him. [Job 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.]

Also, [God] shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before Him. [Mark 7:6 [Jesus] answered & said to them, Well, has [Isaiah] prophesied of you hypocrites. [Like] it is written, [These] people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.] 

[Earnestly] hear my speech & my declaration with your ears. [Look,] now I have [put my case in order] & I know that I shall be justified. Who is He, [Who] will plead [against] me? For now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. 

Only don't [do] 2 things to me: Then I won't hide myself from You. [Don't remove] Your hand far from me & [don't] let [the fear of You,] make me afraid. Then, [when] You call, I will answer: or let me speak & You answer me. 

How many are [my] iniquities & sins? [Help me to understand] my transgression & my sin. [Why do] You hide Your face & [consider] me Your enemy? Will you break a leaf [blown back & forth?] And will You pursue the dry stubble? 

For You write bitter things against me & make me [responsible] for the sins of my youth. You put my feet in [wooden] stocks & look [closely] at all my paths & [the footprints] You have [placed on] my feet.  And [I'm like] a rotten thing [decays, like] a garment that is moth eaten.
