1 | A FALSE TEACHING? Yes / No | Matt 8:5 | EdB | 94289 | ||
Graceful Read psalm 22 that your so tied up with. It is the psalmist describing himself not anything placed on him or in him. To try to say that the worm he was calling himself is the worm of sin is taking scripture and forcing meanings that just aren't there. EdB |

Ed, I have not been following this thead closely, so I hope I am not off track here. But, do you think that in Psalm 22, which is obvioulsy prophetic, the reference to being a worm could refer to how the one suffering and being put to shame is viewed by those tormenting him, as if he is saying, "I am a worm in the eyes of those who see me"? Just a thought. This verse from Hebrews came to my mind when I saw your post. Heb 12:2 "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Emmaus |

Emmaus I agree, the term language here could be viewed that way. In fact I will go as far as saying it probably was the writer intention rather than self abasement as I first suggested. I should have read MacArthur's commentary before I said what I did as MacArthur seems to agree with your take. Thanks However I'm sure you will agree that does not open the door to describe Jesus as a worm or having a weak emancipated wormy spirit. Nor is there any way to say the worm here is the sin of the world as Graceful suggestted. Thanks for pointing that out. EdB |
