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.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
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.”

 

The content of this site varies from the abstract
to the simple & straightforward.


So, for the sake of communication,
I vary the grammatical style.

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.

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.

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:

        Y

                Left click the mouse
                in the address bar of the other browser.

Ctrl key and tap V.         (paste)

                (Or you can copy & paste
