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 138:1-8 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David. 

Psalm 138:1-8            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I will praise You with my whole heart. I will sing praise to You, before the gods. I will worship toward Your Holy Temple & praise Your Name for Your loving kindness & for Your Truth. For You have magnified Your Word, above all Your Name.

[Colossians 3:17 And [whatever] you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to god & the Father by Him.

[On] the day when I cried [out,] You answered me & strengthened me, with strength in my soul. All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, when they hear the Words of Your mouth. [Yes,] they shall sing [of] the [Lord's] ways: for great is the glory of the Lord. 

[Although] the Lord is [exalted,] He [still] has respect [for] the lowly. But He knows the [prideful far away.] [James 4:6-7 But He gives more grace. [For this reason,] He says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Therefore, submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil & he will flee from you.]

[Although] I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me. You shall stretch [out] Your hand against the [anger] of [my] enemies. And Your right hand shall save me. The Lord will perfect, [all] that concerns me. [Psalm 57:2 I will cry [out] to God, most high. Unto God, [Who] performs all things for me.]

Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever. [Don't abandon] the works of Your Own hands. [Philippians 1:6 Being confident to this very thing, that He, [Who] has begun a good work in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.]
