i like the picture and illustration. i would like to point out that understanding scriptures on one’s own runs the risks of misinterpretation, as such one must remember to refer to commentaries.
The best commentary on the Bible is the Bible. Reading the verses before and after to get the context, parallel passages, etc. Too many people look at a single verse and say “I got it” but really missed the mark because they don’t have the proper context.
