VIEWING

 

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

 

Pale pastel background is the site proper.

Dark green backgrounds are better sites than this one.

Other dark colour backgrounds are about the site proper.

White backgrounds are printable leaflets.

 

If you want to speed-read the site proper
perhaps don’t bother watching all the YouTube videos.


But, when reading A better site than this one,
it’s all about the YouTubes.

 

.

 

Reading the pastel colour background pages
could strain your eyes
(like white Wikipedia pages).

So you may want to turn
the brightness & contrast down
to match the brightness & contrast
of whatever’s behind & around your display.

 

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 common tips for reading the 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?

To these two tips I add:

        Is Jesus speaking to a crowd?
        If so, are they friends, or enemies,
        or a mixture of both?
        Is the composition of the crowd
        changing as Jesus is speaking?

        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”.
        But that’s an assumption, and, in the light of
        today’s world of protests and counter-protests,
        an improbable one.

TEXT COLOURS

 

On a dark colour background
(e.g. this webpage you’re reading):


        white  . . . . . normal,


       
pale green . . to be repeated later,

       
pale blue . . . repeated from earlier.

 

On a pastel blue or yellow background:

 

            black . . . . . . normal

 

            dull green . . to be repeated later,

 

            blue . . . . . . . repeated from earlier,

 

            brown . . . . . 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 (as in this paragraph)
                                 or in blue if it’s the copy.

NAVIGATION

 

Link colours:

        red/pink: these are internal links,
                       they go elsewhere in this site


        dark/pale blue: these are external links,
                               they 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.
Notably the links at the very foot of each webpage
that lead on to the next webpage.

 

But most internal links
do open a new tab, to the right.

(The intention is that the new tab is just a brief digression
from the main narrative.)

Now, if you leave the right tab open
it’ll continue to function that way.

        If you then:
           
o   narrow the whole window,
           
o   move the whole window to the left of the display,
           
o   drag the right tab off of the window,
                 making it two windows,
        you’ll find that:
           
o   the two windows remember
                 that they were once joined together,
                 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,
               this won’t work using the Chrome icon at the bottom of the screen.

        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.

        Y

            of the other browser.
