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 6:1-30 Job Answers Eliphaz

 

Job Answers Eliphaz

Job 6:1-30                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

But Job answered [Eliphaz] & said, O that my grief & my calamity were thoroughly weighed & [put] in the balances together! For now, it would be heavier than the sand of the sea. Therefore my words are swallowed up. 

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. The poison [of them] drinks up my spirit. The terrors of God, do [put] themselves [in order] against me. [Does] the wild [donkey] bray when he has grass? Of [does] the ox [bellow] over his [feed?] 

Can [what is not flavorful] be eaten without salt? Or is there any [flavor] in the white of an egg? The things that my soul refused to touch, [are] my [disgusting foods.] 

Oh, that I might have my request & God would grant me the thing that I long for! Even [if] it would please God to [loosen] His hand & cut me off & destroy me! Let [God] not spare [me.] Then, I [wouldn't] harden myself in sorrow & I [still would] take comfort, for I haven't [kept secret] the Words of the Holy One. 

What is my strength, that I should [have] hope? And what is [my] end, that I should prolong my life? Is my strength [like] the strength of [rocks?] Or is my flesh [made] of brass?

Isn’t my help in me? And [has] wisdom [totally been] driven from me? 

Pity should be [shown] to him, [who] is afflicted, from his friend, [lest] he [abandons fearing] [respecting] the Almighty. 

My [friends] have [behaved] deceitfully [like] a [frozen] brook & [like] the [streams of water off] the brooks [that are no longer visible & appears to be] blackish, [because] of the ice & is [hidden] by the snow & [vanishes] when [the season grows] warm. When it's hot, they [disappear from] their place.

The paths [of the brooks meandered] & turned aside. They [evaporated into] nothing & perish. The troops of Tema looked & the companies of Sheba waited for them. They were [confused] because they had hoped. They came [there] & were ashamed. 

[Jeremiah 14:3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters. They came to the [wells] & found no water. They returned with their [jugs] empty. They were ashamed, [confused] & covered their heads.] 

You see [that I'm downcast.] For you are [nothing] now & are afraid. [Psalm 31:11 I was a [disgrace] among all [my] enemies, but especially among my neighbors & [cause] fear to [my friends.] [Those who saw] me [outside] fled from me.] 

Did I [ever] say, Bring me [something?] Or, Give a [bribe]for me [from] your [possessions?] Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? Teach me & I will hold my [peace.] [Make] me to understand [how] I've erred. 

How [forceful correct] words are! But what does your arguing [prove?] Do you [intend] to [disapprove of the] words & speeches, [like they] are wind, [from someone who] is desperate? 

[Yet,] you [who] overwhelm the fatherless & dig a pit for your friend. [Psalm 57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down & they have [dug] a pit before me, into the midst, [into which] they have fallen.]

Therefore, now be content [to] look upon me; for it [is apparent] to you if I lie. I pray [that] you return, [but] let [it] not be [done of sin.] [Yet,] return again, my righteousness is [at stake.]

[Job 17:10 But as for all [of] you, do return & come [again:] for I can't find one wise man among you.] Is there any [sinfulness] in my [mouth?] Can't I [determine] perverse [words by] my taste?
