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 9:1-35 Job's Answer to Bildad

 

Job's Answer to Bildad

Job 9:1-35                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Job answered & said, I know it is [true,] but how [could] man be [justified] with God? [Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the Law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.] 

If he will [argue] with God, he can't answer [God] 1 [time out of] 1,000 [times.] [God] is wise in heart & mighty in strength. Who has [opposed God] & prospered? 

[God, Who] removes the mountains & [overthrows] them in His anger & they [don't] know it. [Who] shakes the earth out of [its] place & the pillars [of support] tremble. 

[Isaiah 2:17-19 And the [pride] of man shall be bowed down & the [arrogance] of man shall be made low. And the Lord, alone shall be exalted [on] that day. And [God] shall [totally do away with] the idols. And they shall go into the rocks & into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord & for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake the earth terribly.] 

[God,Who] commands the sun & it [doesn't rise] &  [secures] the stars [so they don't fall.] [Who] Alone spreads out the heavens & [walks] upon the waves of the sea.

[Fulfilled in: Matthew 14: 24-25 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves, for the wind was very contrary. And in the 4th watch of the night, Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.] [God, Who] makes Arcturus, Orion, Pleiades & the [constellations] of the south.

[Amos 5:8 Seek Him, [Who] makes the 7 stars & Orion & turns the shadow of death into the morning & makes the day dark [like] night: [Who] calls for the waters of the sea & pours them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is His Name.] 

[Who] does great things, [beyond] finding out, [yes,] & [does] wonders without number. [Look,] He goes by me & I [don't] see Him. He [continues] on, but [I don’t realize He's there.]

[Job 35:14 Although you say you shall not see Him, [still] justice] is before Him;  therefore you trust in Him.] [Look, if God] takes away [something,] who can [interfere with] Him? Who will say to Him, What [are] You [doing?]

If God won't withdraw His anger, the helpers [of] the proud [bow down] under Him. How much less, shall I [be able to] answer Him & [to] choose my words to reason with Him? [Even if,] I were righteous, [still] I [couldn't] answer [Him,] but I would make [a request] to my Judge.

If I had called & He had answered me, I [still] wouldn't have believed that He had [listened] to my voice. For He breaks me [down] with a [storm] & multiplies my wounds without cause.

[Job 2:3 And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant, Job, there [are] none like him in the earth, a [blameless] & upright man, [someone, who] fears [respects] God & [avoids] evil? And he still holds [tight] to his integrity, although you move Me against him, to destroy him without cause.] 

He will not [allow] me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness. If I speak of strength, [God] is strong & if [I speak] of judgment, who shall [schedule] me a time to plead [my case?] If I justify myself, [my] own mouth shall condemn me. If I say I am [innocent,] it shall also prove me [guilty.] 

[Although, if] I were [innocent, I still] I wouldn't know my soul & I would despise my life. Therefore, I said this one thing, God destroys [both] the [innocent] & the wicked. If the [plague] shall suddenly [kill,] He will laugh at the [test] of the innocent. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked.

He [hides] the faces of [its] judges. If [it's] not [Him,] where [is He] & who is [it?] Now, my days [go by] [faster] than a [postal runner.] They flee away & they [don't] see [any] good. They [have] passed away, [like] the [speedy] ships. [Like] the eagle that [hurries] to [its] prey. 

If I say, I will forget my complaint & [stop] my [despair] & comfort myself; I'm afraid of all my sorrows. I know You won't hold me innocent. [Psalm 119:120 My flesh [trembles] for fear of You & I'm afraid of Your judgments.] If I'm wicked, then why [do] I labor in vain? 

If I wash myself with water [from] snow & make my hands [ever] so clean; [still] You shall plunge me in a ditch & my own clothes shall [loathe] me. [Jeremiah 2:22 For though you wash [yourself] with [washing soda] & [use] much [soap, still] your [sin] is [visible] before Me, says the Lord God.] 

For [God] is not a man, [like] I am, [so] that I should answer Him & we should come together [& agree on a] judgment. [Romans 9:19-21 You will then say to me, Why does [God still] find fault? For who has resisted His will? O man, [no,] who are you who [debates] against God?

Shall the thing formed, say to Him, Who formed it, Why have You made me like [this?] Hasn't the potter power over the clay, [and is able] of the same lump [of clay] to make one vessel [for respect] & one vessel [for disgrace.] 

Neither is there any [mediator between] us, [who] might [put his arms around] both [of] us. [Isaiah 1:18 Come now & let us reason together, says the Lord; [although] your sins [are like] scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. [Although] they [are] red like crimson, they shall be [white like] wool.]

Let [God] take His rod away from me & [don't] let his fear terrify me. Then, I would speak & not [be afraid of] Him, but it’s not [that way] with me.
