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.

1st Thessalonians 3:1-13 Timothy Brought Good News About Those Thessalonians Who Believe in Jesus

 

Timothy Brought Good News About Those Thessalonians Who Believe in Jesus

1st Thessalonians 3:1-13  Paul's Epistle to Thessalonians [in Smaller Chunks]

[For this reason, when we could no longer forbear, [a.k.a. wait,] we thought it [best] to be left at Athens alone. And [we] sent our [fellow-laborer] in the Gospel of Christ, Timotheus, [a.k.a. Timothy,] our brother, & minister of God, to establish & comfort, [a.k.a. encourage,] you [about] your faith [in Jesus Christ.] 

[So] that, no [man's] [faith] should be [shaken] by these afflictions. For [you,] yourselves, know that we are appointed, [a.k.a. selected, to do this.] For [truly,] when we were with you, we told you [beforehand,] [so] you [would] know, that we [would] suffer tribulation, [a.k.a. persecution,] even [like] it [happened.]    

[For this reason,] when I could no longer forbear, [a.k.a. hold back,] I sent to know [the condition of] your faith, lest by some means, the tempter [had] tempted you, & our [labor] [would] be in vain. 

But when [Timothy] came from you now to us, & brought us good tidings, [a.k.a. good news, about] your faith, & charity. And that you have good [memories] of us always, greatly desiring to see us, as we also [desire] to see you. 

Therefore, brethren, we were comforted [about] you & your faith, [during] all our [afflictions] & distress. For we live, if you now stand fast, [a.k.a. strong,] in the Lord. 

For what thanks can we render, [a.k.a. give,] to God, for you again, for all the joy [with which] we [rejoice] for your sakes before our God, praying [continually,] night & day. [So] that we might see your face, & [you] might [be] [perfected, in what] is lacking in your faith. 

Now, [may] God, Himself, & our Father, & our Lord Jesus Christ direct [us on] our way to you. And [may] the Lord make you to increase, [a.k.a. multiply,] & abound in love toward one another, & toward all men, even [like] we do toward you: [in order that: the Lord God] may [establish] your hearts, [without blame,] in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
