This is close to a personal confession, but it is also the thing I most want to say on this site.

For a long time I have read and studied Scripture by a set of standards that I consider strict. I believe I understand the core principles of Scripture rightly. Yet there are many people who present interpretations that are difficult to accept and still say that they understand Scripture rightly. So I know that my own words may also look like just one claim among many.

Whether I am merely one voice among many, or whether I will be shown to have been a true teacher, is something that will only be known in heaven. Even so, I can only say that I hold this work with fear before God.

This concern is not only about cults or heretical religious movements. Some of the lectures and notes I am organizing may at first sound unfamiliar and hard to accept even to people within orthodox Christian denominations. I say this first because I too have gone through the process of judging unfamiliar explanations from my previous point of view. If my past self had heard these things first, I think I would probably have responded in a similar way.

But if, like the Bereans, one searches the Scriptures to see whether these things are so and examines them one by one, I believe one can at least understand why I explain them this way. The established interpretive frame may have become a thick wall that blocks understanding, but the things I am explaining are, in themselves, quite simple and straightforward.

On the other hand, if one hears only part of it and immediately judges it by the existing paradigm, my words too will simply pass by unnoticed. That is why I want to leave lectures, notes, and columns for those who have even a little interest, so they can read Scripture more rightly and examine it for themselves.

I am not Paul, but like the confession in Romans 9:1, there is great sorrow, pain, and loneliness in my heart. This work began not as a simple arrangement of knowledge, but from the desire that those who read Scripture would confirm the heart of the gospel again from Scripture itself.

The lectures and notes I make are for everyone, but they are first for Christians. The repeated pattern in Romans 1:16 and 2:10, “to the Jew first and also to the Greek,” can directly be understood as the order of Jews and Gentiles. But if we also consider how Israel was entrusted with the Word in the Old Testament and the church was entrusted with the Word in the New Testament, then in today’s context we may think first of Christians within the church confirming the Word again, and then explaining the gospel to nonbelievers.

Therefore, this content is not a light collection of arguments meant to persuade someone. It is a record meant to help believers within the church first confirm the Word again from Scripture, and then explain the gospel to nonbelievers on that basis.

I have no confidence in persuading anyone, and I know that such attempts mostly fail. What I believe has been entrusted to me is not to avoid saying what must be said out of concern for people’s reactions, but to proclaim and teach the right Word of God before God alone. That is because my first calling is to serve as a church teacher.

I plan to add the content one by one after the site is stable

I have said a great deal, but I have not yet begun to upload my written content to this site in earnest.

Even moving the content I have already written into the site will take a considerable amount of time, so I plan to stabilize the site first and then add it one piece at a time.

Munger content progress for columns, Bible notes, and teaching notes can be checked together in the roadmap.

02

The essential columns need to come first

The first content to upload should be the columns. There are essential columns that should be read before reading my chapter-by-chapter Bible notes.

Those who are just beginning to learn Scripture may actually receive them more easily because their previous interpretive framework is not yet firmly set. On the other hand, those who have spent a long time in church life cannot easily ignore the influence of an existing paradigm.

This does not mean that the content of those columns must simply be accepted. It means that they should be kept in mind, and then when reading the Bible notes, which may be called my own commentary, the reader should examine the text again in light of that perspective.

03

Bible notes will be prepared in simple and deep forms

Bible notes will be a form that assigns meaning through colors on the biblical text and applies comments directly through superscripts.

I know very well that using many color meanings and superscript comments in the text can feel scattered and complex. Yet I do not really have a more effective way to explain these things. If one reads with a serious desire to study and becomes familiar with the method, it can become surprisingly easy to understand. Even so, I plan to provide both a simpler form of Bible notes and the existing deeper notes.

Repeated explanations may appear often inside the Bible notes. But this repetition is intentional. I know repetition can feel tedious, but I still intend to repeat what is necessary so that the central ideas can settle in the heart.

04

Lectures, books, and extensive authored content will also be prepared step by step

If it were an invited lecture, it might actually be less burdensome, because I would be speaking to people who need it in a fixed setting. YouTube lectures, however, require speaking at length in front of a screen and continually producing long videos, and that process itself can feel quite tedious to me, so I am still somewhat reluctant. Above all, the biggest reason is that, for now, it is difficult to secure enough time because of my livelihood. Still, audio lectures using TTS may be something I can at least try.

If all the major themes and subtopics are gathered together, the content will amount to thousands of pages. Ultimately, I would also like to write these things as books. Using links and popups inside the site may be more effective for connecting text and resources, but there is also a need for a channel that explains things calmly as pure writing. I will keep refining the content so that it will be worth reading.
