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.

2nd Thessalonians 3:1-18 Warning to Depart From Believers Who Cause Discord or Distort the Bible

 

Warning to Depart From Believers Who Cause Discord or Distort the Bible

2nd Thessalonians  3:1-18  Paul's Epistle to Thessalonians [in Smaller Chunks]

Finally, brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] pray for us, [so] that the Word of the Lord may have free course, [a.k.a. may be spread freely,] & be glorified, even [like] it is with you. 

And [so] that we may be delivered from men [who are:] wicked & unreasonable, [a.k.a. those not guided by good logic or facts.] For all men [don't] have faith [in Jesus Christ.] But the Lord is faithful, Who shall: [establish] & keep you from evil. [John 17:15 I don't pray that You [should] take them out of the world, but that You [should] keep them from [what is:] evil.] 

And we have confidence in the Lord [related to] you, [so] that you both: do & will do, the things [that] we command you. [Philemon 1:21 I wrote to you, having confidence in your obedience, & knowing that you [will] also do more than I say.] 

And the Lord [directs] your hearts into love of God, & [to wait patiently] for Christ. Now brethren, we command you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves, [a.k.a. remove yourselves,] from every brother, [who walks, a.k.a. follows,] disorderly, [a.k.a. out of control,] & not [according to] the [Christian] tradition [that] he received [from] us. 

For [you,] yourselves, know how you ought to follow us. For we [didn't] behave disorderly among you. Neither did we eat any man's bread for [nothing, a.k.a. without paying for it.] But [we] [worked] with [hard] [labor] & [toiled] night & day, [so] that we might not be chargeable, [a.k.a. financially responsible,] to any of you. 

Not because we [lack] power, but to make ourselves an [example for] you to follow us. For even when we were with you, we commanded this [to] you, [so] that, if [anyone] wouldn't work, neither should he eat. 

For we hear that there are some [who follow] among you: disorderly, & not working at all, but are busybodies. [1 Timothy 5:13 And [then,] they learn to be idle, wandering [around] from house to house. And not only idle, but tattlers, & also busybodies, [a.k.a. gossips, saying] things which they [shouldn't.]

Now, we command & [encourage] them [through] our Lord Jesus Christ, that [those, who] are such, [would] work with quietness, [a.k.a. peacefulness,] & eat their own bread. [1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 And that you study to be quiet, & do, [a.k.a. mind,] your own business, & to work with your own hands, [like] we commanded you. [So] that, you may [follow] honestly toward [those, who] are without [faith in Jesus Christ,] & [so] that you may lack nothing [you need.]  

But brethren, [don't] you [become] weary, [a.k.a. tired] [of] doing [good.] [Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary, [a.k.a. tired,] in doing [good.] For in due season, we shall reap, [a.k.a. harvest,] if we [don't] faint, [a.k.a. give up.] 

And if any man [doesn't] obey our [words in] this epistle, [a.k.a. letter,] note that man, & have no company, [a.k.a. don't associate,] with him, [so] that he may be ashamed. [Still don't consider] him [like] an enemy, but [advise] him [like] a brother.

Now, [may] the Lord of Peace, Himself, by all means, give you peace always. [May] the Lord be with all [of] you. 

So, I write the salutation of Paul, with [my] own hand, which is the token, [a.k.a. evidence,] in every epistle, [a.k.a. letter.]

[May] the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all [of] you. Amen.
