VIEWING

Every webpage of this site:
is shown on,
i.e. is directly accessible
from,
the Home page.

Pale blue & yellow background:
is the site proper.

Dark blue, mauve, or
red, backgrounds:
are about the site proper.
Dark green background:
is better sites than this one material.
White background are printable leaflets.

If you want to speed-read the site
perhaps don’t bother watching (all) the YouTube videos.
However, when reading A better site than this one,
the YouTube videos are usually important.

Much reading of the pale webpages
could strain your eyes
(like white Wikipedia pages).
So you may want to turn
your screen’s brightness & contrast down
to match the brightness & contrast of
the décor etc surrounding/behind your screen.

I designed this site
to be read on a large screen PC
rather than on a smartphone or laptop.
I did this because this site contains:
some long sequences of logic,
some long lists of points,
some concepts that are spread
out
over several webpages.
And these are best
viewed
in several, large, browser windows.

COMPREHENSION
|
|
In this site, to aid comprehension,
each new concept is built on previous concepts:
Hence, so that you don’t lose track,
this site’s webpages are best
read
in the order they’re presented.
Likewise, if you use links that go to
other sites,
or to other parts of this site,
try to keep those visits brief
so that you don’t lose track.
|
|
Some parts of this
site are mere common knowledge.
But they are there because:
o I’ve tried to make this site
as comprehensive as I can.
And sometimes that means
including what’s commonly
known.
o Sometimes, a piece of mere common knowledge
is a step
in a long train of thought.
|
|
Some of my statements have no explanation.
But, hopefully, like me, you’ll think:
“That statement doesn’t need an
explanation,
it’s obvious.”

Two general tips for
reading any Bible are:
Who exactly is being addressed?
You? Gentiles?
Jews? Jews & gentiles?
What is the context of the
verse(s)?
Does the context affect the meaning
of the verse?
To these two tips I add:
Is Jesus speaking to a large crowd?
If so, are they friends, or
enemies,
or a mixture of both?
Does such a composition of the
crowd change
as Jesus continues to speak?
The Bible text rarely tells you
such things.
But that doesn’t stop you from
having a go
at inferring it.
Most Christians assume
that those who cried “Hosanna”
when Jesus entered Jerusalem
were the same people
who later cried “Crucify”
shortly before his crucifixion.
But that’s an assumption,
and, in the light of today’s
world
of protests and subsequent
counter-protests,
an improbable one.

WRITING STYLE
|
|
My writing style can
be anything
from slang to technical & formal.
Try not to be distracted by this.
I do it for the sake of communication:
Communication of long strings of
concepts.
Strings that also connect with
each other.
Many of the concepts being
rather abstract.
|
|
For the same reason I change such
words/phrases as:
we’ve
to:
we have,
and vice versa.
Again, this may seem distracting,
but I do it according to the rhythm of the sentence:
However perfectly an English
person speaks French
a French person can still tell
they’re English.
This is because English people,
unlike the French,
still speak & think
(assuming they’re thinking in words)
such as to try and get a rhythm
going.
That:
poetic rhythm makes
phrases easier to remember,
and that:
English, being composed
of other languages,
has more words than
most languages,
and that:
English speakers have
no reservations about
adding even more words,
and that:
English has become the
language of science,
all make English a good language
for me to use with mathematical
grammar.
See four cells
(starting René
Decartes)
in earlier section THINKING
TOOLS THAT I USED.
|
|
I
use mathematical grammar
because, with abstract
philosophy,
you need all the help you can
get.
Abstract philosophy as
compared to practical philosophy
See rest of cell
(starting I
once checked out)
in earlier section ABOUT
BIBLICAL TEACHER-HEALERS GENERALLY.
Of course, all this is just a
happy accident for me.
I was born English. I haven’t needed to do anything.
But I’m grateful & glad of
it nevertheless.

site’s elaborate formatting

Throughout
this site
I capitalise the word Judgment and
the word Forgiveness:
o Partly to emphasise
the eternal nature
of Judgment and of Forgiveness:
God Judges or
Forgives capitalised
regarding Heaven or
Hell.
We judge or
forgive all lower case
regarding only the
things of this life.
o Partly
to remind you, the reader, of the:
how-Jesus-thought
not-how-Paul-thought,
way that I use the word Judgment.
|
|
I capitalise the word Gospel
when it means the unique message
of Jesus’ crucifixion in our place
which gained you:
o Eternal life, from now onwards.
o God’s powerful Holy Spirit, from now
onwards,
providing you:
o Believe
the message.
o Want
what the message says believers will have.
,, ,, I.E. Want to dump
your own righteousness
,, ,, ,, (because your own righteousness
,, ,, ,, is tainted with the wrong things you’ve done)
,, ,, and instead keep only the perfect righteousness.
There are four gospel books in the Bible,
four gospels.
But there is only one Gospel,
only one message of God’s free Forgiveness
by way of Jesus’ suffering in our place.
I do this both in my own writing
and take the liberty of doing it in the King James texts.

TEXT COLOURS
|
|
On webpages with a
dark colour background
(i.e. dark blue, dark mauve,
dark red, dark green, backgrounds):
|
|
white text . . . . . is normal text,
|
|
pale green text . . is to be repeated later,
|
|
pale blue text . . . is repeated from earlier,
|
|
[pink text] .
. . . .
|
is my own thoughts & comments.
My thoughts & comments
amongst
Mark Hemans’
thoughts & comments).
|
|
.
|
|
On webpages with a pale colour background:
|
|
black text . . . . . . is normal text,
|
|
dull green text . . is to be repeated
later,
|
|
blue
text . . . . . . . is repeated from earlier,
|
|
brown text . . . . .
|
is inspired by,
or literally is (though not word for word),
Andrew Wommack’s material.
Where brown text is
repeated
I colour only the first word or few letters
in dull green,
or in blue if it’s the copy.

NAVIGATION
|
|
Link colours:
red/pink: these are internal links,
that go elsewhere in this site
dark/pale blue:
these are external links,
that go to other sites.
|
|
If you ever want the links that you’ve used
to revert back to their original colours
then delete your (recent) internet history.
|
|
.
|
|
I made some internal links not
open up a new tab.
(For example: the links at the very foot of each webpage
that lead to the next webpage.)
|
|
But most internal
links
do open a new tab, to the right.
(My intention is that the new tab
is only a brief digression
from the narrative you were on.)
If you leave the right tab open
it will continue to function that
way.
If you then:
o narrow the whole window,
o move the whole window to the left of the
screen,
o drag the right tab off of the window,
making it two windows,
then you’ll find that:
o the two windows ‘remember’
that they were once
joined together,
and so will continue to
function that way.
|
|
If
you start off
by opening two windows
of the same brand of browser
(e.g. Chrome)
Use
the desktop Chrome icon.
Using the Chrome icon at
the bottom of your display won’t do
the following.
then
move the two windows apart
then
make each window a quarter the
width of the display
then
drag off the extra tabs
you’ll have two pairs of linked windows.

Web tip:
You can copy

Hold down Ctrl key and tap V. (paste)
(Or you can copy &
paste
using both buttons of
the mouse.)
Once you’ve pasted an address into the
other
address bar, press the Enter key.
