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.

Matthew 19:1-30 Jesus Said, Let All the Little Children to Come to Me

 

Jesus Said, Let All the Little Children to Come to Me

Matthew 19:1-30    The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks]

And it [happened,] that when Jesus had finished these sayings, He departed from Galilee, & came into the coasts of Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] beyond Jordan. And [large] multitudes followed Him, & He healed them there. 

Also, the Pharisees came to Him, tempting, [a.k.a. testing,] Him, & saying to Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away, [a.k.a. divorce,] his wife for every [reason?] 

And [Jesus] answered, & said to them, Haven't you read that He, [Who] made them [in] the beginning, made them male & female, & said, For this [reason] a man shall leave [his] father & mother, & shall [cling] to his wife, & they, [two] shall be one flesh? [For this reason,] they are no [longer] two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not [pull apart.] 

They [said] to Him, Then why did Moses command to give a [written document of divorce,] & put her away, [a.k.a. aside?] [Jesus] said to them, Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moses [allowed] you to put your wives away, but it wasn't so from the beginning. 

And I say to you, [Whoever] shall put away his wife, except it [is] for fornication, [a.k.a. unfaithfulness,] & [marries] another, commits adultery. And [whoever] marries her, [who] is put away, [commits] adultery. 

His disciples [said] to Him, If the case of the man [is] so with his wife, it is good not to marry. And [Jesus] said to them, All men can't receive this saying, [except those,] to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, [who] were born so from their mother's womb. 

And there are some eunuchs, [who] were made eunuchs [by] men. And there [are] eunuchs, [who] have made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of heaven's sake. He, [who] is able to receive it, let him receive it. 

Then, little children were brought to Him, [so] that He should put His hands on them, & pray. And the disciples [scolded] them. But Jesus said, [Allow] little children to come to Me, & [don't] forbid them: for of such is the Kingdom of heaven. 

And [Jesus] laid His hands on them, & [left] from there. And, [saw, someone come] to Him & said, Good Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] what good thing shall I do, [so] that I may have eternal life? And [Jesus] said to him, Why [do] you call Me good? There [are] none good, but One, that is, God. But if you [want to] enter into [eternal] life, keep the commandments.

He said to [Jesus,] Which? Jesus said, You shall [not] murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal, & You shall not bear false, [a.k.a. untruthful,] witness. Honor your father & mother, & You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 

The young man said to Him, I have kept all these things from my youth up. What [do] I [still] lack? Jesus said to him, If you [wish] [to] be perfect, go & sell [what] you [have,] & give [the proceeds] to the poor, & you shall have treasure in heaven: & come & follow Me.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then, Jesus said to His disciples, [Truly,] I say to you, That hardly shall a rich man enter into the Kingdom of heaven. And again, I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the Eye of a Needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. 

When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Then, who can be saved? But Jesus [looked at] them, & said to them, With men, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible. 

Then Peter answered & said to Him, [Look,] we have [abandoned] all, & followed You. Therefore, what shall we have? And Jesus said to them, [Truly,] I say to you, [who] have followed Me, In the regeneration, [a.k.a. Spiritual Restoration,] when the Son of Man shall sit [on] the throne of His glory, you shall also sit upon 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

[Revelation 2:26 And he, [who overcomes,] & [keeps] [doing] My work [until] the end, I will give to him, power over the nations.]

And everyone, [who] has [abandoned:] houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My Name's sake, shall receive [a] hundredfold, [a.k.a. 100 times as much,] & shall inherit everlasting life. 

But many, [who] are 1st, shall be last. And the last shall be 1st. [Matthew 20:25-28 But Jesus called them to Him, & said, You know that the [Gentiles'] princes, [hold control] over them. And those, who] are great, exercise authority [over] them.        

But it shall not be so among you. But [whoever wants] [to] be great among you, let him be your minister. And [whoever wants] [to] be [first] among you, let him be your servant. 

*Even [like] the Son of Man [didn't come] to be ministered to, but to minister, & to give His life [as] a ransom from many.]
