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.

Psalm 25:1-22 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David.

Psalm 25:1-22            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I do lift up my soul unto You, O Lord. O my God, I trust in You. Let me not be ashamed & [don't] let my enemies triumph over me. [Yes,] let none [who] wait on You be ashamed. Let [those who sin] without [consequence] be ashamed.

O Lord, show me Your ways & teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your Truth & teach me. For You [are] the God of my Salvation. I do wait all day on You. [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.]

O Lord, remember your tender mercies & your loving kindnesses, for they have been [since ancient times.] 

[Psalm 103:17-18 But the mercy of the Lord & His righteousness is from everlasting to everlasting, upon [those who] fear [respect] Him & to [their] children's children. To such [who] keep His covenant [contract] & to those [who] remember & do His commandments.] 

[Don't] remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. O Lord, remember me according to Your mercy, for the sake [of] Your goodness. Good & upright is the Lord. Therefore, He will teach sinners the way. He will guide the meek in [justice] & He will teach the meek His way. 

[Psalm 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth & shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.] To such [who] keep the [Lord's] covenant [contract] & His Testimonies, all His paths are mercy & truth. O Lord, for Your Name's sake, pardon my [many sins.] 

What man is he [who] fears [respects] the Lord? He shall teach him, in the [path] that He shall choose. His soul shall [live] at ease & his [descendants] shall inherit the earth.

[Psalm 69:34-36 Let the heaven, earth & seas & everything that moves [in them,] praise Him. For God will save Zion & will [rebuild] the cities of Judah: [so] they may [live] there & [own] it. Also, His [servant's descendants] & all [who] love His Name, shall [live in there.] 

The Lord is with [those who] fear [respect] Him & He will show them the secret of His covenant [contract.] 

[John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, [so] that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.] 

[My] eyes are [always] toward the Lord. For He shall [pull] my feet out of the net. [Psalm 143:8-10 But [my] eyes are to You, Lord, my trust is in You. O God, [don't] leave my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me & the [traps] of [those who work sinfully.] Let the wicked fall into their own nets, [while] I escape.] 

[Lord, return] to me & have mercy upon me: for I am [lonely] & afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged. You, O bring me out of my distress. Look upon [my] affliction & my pain & forgive all my sins. Consider [my] enemies; for they are many & they hate me with a [vicious] hatred. 

O keep my soul & deliver me. Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in You. Let integrity & [honesty] preserve me; for I wait on You. O God, redeem Israel, out of all [its] troubles.

[Titus 2:13-14 Looking for that blessed hope & the glorious [appearance] of the great God & our Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us, [so] that He might redeem us from all [sin] & purify to Himself a [special] people, zealous of good works.]
