About this site "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times" (Psa 12:6). To emphasize the purity of God's words, the verse compares them to silver that has been purified seven times. When one believes that no impurity is found in the words of God he can stand firm in the faith in difficult circumstances, such as those mentioned in Ps 12. "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us" (2Co 1:20). "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2Ti 3:16-17). Since God's words are pure and are all profitable, the man of God should look also into the details of the Bible, lest he be not "throughly furnished unto all good works". "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled" (Mat 5:18). Now, "jot" and "tittle" refer to Scripture text in the original language. Thus, in order to look at some of the details of the Word of God, the text has to be examined in the original language. Consequently, the articles of this site include often remarks about the literal meaning of the text in the original language. "Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite" (Psa 147:5). It follows that the words of God are always consistent. Thus, effort has been made to write the articles such that they are consistent with the entire Bible. It has been sought not only to write the articles from the viewpoint of the Scripture but also to let the Scripture comment itself. "Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?" (Psa 106:2). While the Word of the Lord is complete and perfect, this site can be neither complete nor perfect. As the Lord provides the opportunity, the articles will be revisited and when deemed necessary, revised. The Lord commissioned us in Mt 28:18-20 in spite of our imperfect knowledge. "For now ... I know in part ..." (1Co 13:12). Nonetheless, one should share what he does know. "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend" (Pro 27:17).
