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 51:1-19 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan, the prophet, came to him, after he had [been intimate with] Bathsheba.

Psalm 51:1-19            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, have mercy upon me & blot out my [sins,] according to Your loving kindness & the multitude of Your tender mercies. Thoroughly wash me from [my sinfulness] & cleanse me from my sin. 

[1 John 1:7 But if we [follow] in the Light, [like] He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another & the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.] 

For my sin is [always] before me & I acknowledge my [doing wrong.] [So,] You [alone] might be justified when you speak & be clear when You judge, I have sinned against You & done this evil in Your sight.

[See,] in sin, my mother conceived me & I was [shaped by sinfulness.] [Look, while hidden in the womb,] You shall make me know wisdom. You desire truth [within us.]

[Romans 5:14-15 [Still] death [ruled] from [the time of] Adam to Moses, even over [those who] hadn't [done similar sins to Adam's [sins,] who [was in] the [image] of Him, [Who] was to come. 

But the free gift is not [like the trespass.] For if many [are] dead [because of one, [how] much more [is] the grace of God & the gift [of] grace [from God,] which is by One Man, Jesus Christ & [this gift of grace] has abounded to many.] 

[Cleanse] me with hyssop & I shall be clean. Wash me & I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy & gladness, [so] the bones [that] You've [overwhelmed,] may rejoice.

Blot out all my [sinfulness] & hide Your face from my sins. Create in me a clean heart, O God & renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence & take not Your Holy Spirit from me. 

[Luke 11:13 Then, being evil, if you know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to [those who] ask Him?] 

Uphold me with Your free Spirit & restore to me the joy of Your Salvation. Then, I will teach transgressors Your ways & sinners shall be converted to [faith in] You. 

O God, deliver me from [those] [guilty of bloodshed.] God, You [are] my Salvation & my [mouth] shall sing aloud [about] Your righteousness. You, O Lord, open my lips & my mouth shall [produce] Your praise. 

For You [don't] desire sacrifice; [or] else I would give it. You [don't] delight in burnt [offerings.] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a [subdued] & [repentant] heart. O God, You will not despise [these.]

[2 Peter 3:9 The Lord isn't slack [related] to His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.] 

In Your good pleasure, do good to Zion. [Rebuild] the walls of Jerusalem. Then, You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of [the righteous,] with burnt [offerings.] Then, whole [bulls] will be [offered] upon Your altar.
