1st./ INTRODUCTION
[ note: (/) = and/or ]
- In English , ( old or new ) understanding any word/sentence is as easy as THE SIMPLE CLAUSE + qualifers and modifiers. e.g. John 11:35 (King James Version) 35 Jesus | wept.
A sentence (to be a sentence) at the very least, must have a Subject (noun or pronoun) and a Predicate (verb).
THE SIMPLE CLAUSE
subject (noun)| predicate (verb)
- The remaining words in a sentence serve to describe, clarify or give us more information about the subject or the verb.
Simple clause - or - clause = subject (noun)| predicate (verb)
- this is as simple as it gets.
Every English sentence/statement/thought has ( and must have ) A SIMPLE CLAUSE as it's foundation withinside it.
1st, then, find "it" and you will have the fundamental key of every thought/sentence whatsoever. That is, put more simply, REDUCE any sentence down to it's " SIMPLE CLAUSE " and "here" you will have found the key to the whole thing. Then, you can begin to add the additional detail.
SIMPLICITY is " a child:" and, "here" you are HOME. Luke 18:17 (King James Version) 17Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
2nd./ THE SIMPLE SENTENCE/SIMPLE CLAUSE delimma
A./ A simple sentence, also called an independent clause, contains a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. e.g.
Not that a Simple Sentence is limited to just being a simple " independent clause " however, it can be: which, is where the confusion begins to manifest. The one aspect to bear in mind is that, a Simple Sentence begins with and can be just "a simple independent clause." Thus,
B./ A correct understanding of what a sentence is / is not - or - what it can (or) cannot be, begins 1st with the fact ( and, understanding ) that - A simple sentence is often defined/can be defined as an independent
" simple " clause. e.g.
Thus,
C./ We begin here.
3rd./ WHERE TO BEGIN ?
INTRODUCTION: - The 1st thing, generally speaking, that comes to mind, is, the question of " where to start ? where do I start ? " -or- " how do I even begin to understand the Bible when I don't even know where to start, to begin with ? " These amount to frequently asked common questions. Ok, fair enough.
PREAMBLE:
For me, since I've started along time ago to read & study the Bible, I know now & understand that, --> " the true chronological starting point " is not readily nor even obviously known/clear:i.e. is not Genesis 1:1."
For, one thing,
Chronologically speaking, the books of the Bible are not set in order according to 1st things 1st. You have to spend the time/invest the time it takes reading and then studying the Bible in order to discover the chronological order of events and time-lines that are in there - just not laid out simply, nor end on end in exacting sequence. Instead, it is scattered piece-meal throughout the entire Bible in bits & pieces and places, like a jigsaw puzzle. cf. Is. 28: 9-13.
ONE:/ Why ? What is the point of doing it this way ?
A./ cf. Isaiah 28: 11-13;
B./ Why ?
4th./ CHRONOLOGICAL STARTING POINT - where is this starting point ?
INTRODUCTION: I have said that, " the true chronological starting point " is not readily nor even obviously known/clear: i.e. is not Genesis 1:1."
[ note: {know(/)clear} (/)= and/or ]
WHERE THEN IS THE CHRONOLOGICAL STARTING POINT ? ANS. This depends upon what your approach, interests, point, emphasis, focus, etcc.. might be: e.g. for Historians
(who seek to develop, know of and establish dates and a time line chronology, then
B.C.4004 is there starting point. For evolutionists, the Big Bang starts the whole thing off - who knows where, when, let alone exactly how long ago. For ardent, strict adherents, Gen. 1:1; is just fine. However,
1. Hebrews 5:12
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
2. Hebrews 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
WHAT I HAVE FOUND ( in 40 years of in depth earnest Bible study )is that........
1st, and foremost, before every other thing is..........
THE MIND/WORD OF ELOHIM. Jn. 1:1;
big bang, B.C. 4004, Gen. 1:1; all follow after, and fall in line in SEQUENTIAL SUCCESSION after, THE MIND OF ELOHIM.
THE TRUE AND CORRECT CHRONOLOGICAL STARTING POINT IS ELOHIM "THE MIND/WORD" OF
"I AM THAT I AM ."
NOW, what this actually means is as follows....... < 0 > means < GOD > ground zero
< this character, figure, mark, sign, symbol < signifies ETERNITY FOREVER BEHIND GOD. LIKEWISE > signifies ETERNITY FROM GOD FOREVER FORWARD.
THEREFORE, < 0 > signifies ETERNITY IN EVERY DIRECTION STARTING AT/WITH GOD AS THE EPICENTER.
eternity behind GOD < 0 > before creation itself i.e. before the creation of the heavens and the earth
