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 35:1-16 Elihu Challenges Job About What He Thought Job Had Said

 

Elihu Challenges Job About What He Thought Job Had Said

Job 35:1-16                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Elihu [went on] & said, [Do] you think this is right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's? For you said, What advantage will it be to you? And, What [does it benefit me,] if I [am] cleansed from my sin? 

I will answer you & your companions with you. Look into the heavens & see [& observe] the clouds that are higher than you. If you sin, what [have you done] against [God?] Or if your [sins] are multiplied, [how does that affect] Him?  

[Job 7:20-21 I have sinned. What shall I do [for] You, O You preserver of men? Why have You [put] me [like a target,] against You, so that I'm a burden to myself? 

And why do You not pardon my [sins] & take away my iniquity? For how shall I sleep in the dust [when I'm dead?] And You shall seek me in the morning, but I shall [no longer exist.]

If you [are] righteous, what [benefit do] you give [God?] Or what [does God] receive from your [hands?] Your wickedness may hurt a man [like] you are. And your righteousness may [benefit] the son of man.

[But because] of the multitude of [your] oppressions, that make the oppressed cry [out;] they cry out, [because of] the arm of the mighty. But [no one says,] Where is God, my Maker, Who gives songs in the night & Who teaches us more than the [animals] of the earth & makes us wiser than the [birds] of heaven? 

There, they cry [out,] but [no one] gives an answer, because of the pride of evil men. [Proverbs 1:28 Then, they shall call upon Me, but I will not answer. They shall seek Me early, but they [won't] find Me.]

Surely, God will not hear [what is worthless] vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. [Proverbs 15:29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but He hears the prayer of the righteous.] 

Although you say, you shall not see [God, still justice] is before Him. Therefore, you trust in [God.] But now, because it's not so & [God] has visited in His anger; [still, God] knows it's not [excessive.]

Therefore, Job opens his mouth [in worthless pride] & he multiplies [his] words without knowledge.
