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 7:1-29 How to Treat Others

 

How to Treat Others

Matthew 7:1-29    The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks]

[Don't] judge, [so] that you [aren't] judged. For with [whatever] judgment you judge, you shall [also] be judged. And with what [measurement] you [measure out,] it shall be measured to you again. 

[Romans 2:1-2 Therefore, you are inexcusable, O man, [whoever] you are [who] judges. For [whatever] you [judge,] you condemn] another [which is:] yourself. For you, [who judges, do] the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth, against [those who] commit such things.]

And why [do] you [see] the [speck] that is in your brother's eye, but [don't consider] the beam that is in your own eye? Or how [will] you say to your brother, Let me pull out the [speck] out of your eye; & [look,] a beam is in your own eye? 

You hypocrite, [a.k.a. someone who says one thing & does another,] 1st [throw] out the beam, out of your own eye. And then you shall see clearly to cast out the [speck] out of your brother's eye. 

[Don't] give [what] is Holy to the dogs. Neither [throw] your pearls [in front of] swine, [a.k.a. pigs or hogs,] lest they trample them under their feet, & [return] again, & [tear] you. 

Ask, & it shall be given to you. Seek, & you shall find. Knock, & it shall be opened to you. [Revelation 3:20-21 [See,] I stand at the door, & knock. If any man [hears] My voice, & [opens] the door, I will come in to him, & will [dine] with him, & he with Me. I will grant to him, [who] overcomes, to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame, & Am [sitting] down with My Father [on] His throne.]

For everyone, [who asks,] receives. And he, [who seeks,] finds. And to him, [who knocks,] it shall be opened. Or what man of you, is there whom if his sons [asks] [for] bread, will give him a serpent, [a.k.a. snake?] If you being evil, then know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father, [Who] is heaven, give good things to [those, who] ask Him? 

Therefore, [of] all things, [whatever] you [want] that men should do to you, you [should] even do [the same] to them. For this is [from] the Law, & the prophets. You, enter in at the strait, [a.k.a. narrow,] gate. 

For wide is the gate, & broad is the [path,] that leads to destruction, & there [shall] be many [who] go in [there.] Because [narrow] is the gate, & the [path] is narrow, [that] leads to life, & there [are] few, [who] find it. 

Beware of false prophets, [who] come to you in sheep's clothing, but [inside] they are [ravenous] wolves. [John 10:7-11 Then, Jesus said to them again, [Very, truly,] I say to you, I Am the Door of the sheep. All, [who] ever came before Me are thieves & robbers, but the sheep didn't hear them. 

I Am the Door. If any man [enters] in, he shall be saved by Me, & shall go in & out, & find pasture. The thief [only] [comes] to steal, kill, & to destroy. I [have] come, [so] that they might have life, & that they might have it more abundantly. 

I Am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep.]

You shall know them by their fruits [produced.] Do men gather grapes [among] thorns, or figs [among] thistles? Even so, every good tree [produces] good fruit; but a [rotten] tree, [produces bad] fruit. A good tree can't [produce bad] fruit, & neither can a [rotten] tree [produce] good fruit.

Every tree that [doesn't produce] good fruit is [cut] down, & [thrown] into the fire. [For this reason,] you shall know them by their fruits. Not everyone, [who] says, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven. But [only] he, [who] does the will of My Father, [Who] is in heaven. 

[On] that day, many will say to Me, Lord, Lord, haven't we prophesied in Your Name? And [haven't we] cast out [demons] in Your Name? And [haven't we] done many wonderful works in Your Name?

And then, I will [declare] to them, I never knew you. Depart from Me, you, [who] work [sinfully.] Therefore, [whoever hears] these sayings of Mine, & [does] them, I will [compare] him to a wise man, [who] built his house upon a rock. 

And the rain [came down,] & the floods came, & the winds blew, & beat upon that house, & it [didn't fall:] for it was founded, [a.k.a. established,] on a rock. And everyone, [who] hears these sayings of Mine, & doesn't [do] them, shall be [compared] to a house [built] upon the sand. 

And the rain [came down,] & the floods came, & the winds blew, & beat upon the house & it fell. And the fall of it was great, [a.k.a. large or huge.] And it [happened,] when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching.] For He taught them [like someone] having authority, & not [like] the scribes.
