1 | Did Cain marry one of his sisters? | Eph 5:25 | tessie | 165408 | ||
It is your opinion that it was a legitimate question and mine that it is one that is unanswerable and often used to distract from the status of the questioner's stand before the Lord, as in "Answer me this" followed either by a well-rehearsed answer of their own devising, or by the often unspoken "and I'll consider that you know something I don't and might just listen to the other things you have to say about God and my relationship to Him." The first verse of Ps 131 doesn't mention pride at all, so to say it refers to it is again an opinion of interpretation. To me, it simply and clearly speaks of the fact that there are mysteries God has not chosen to share with us and it is really pointless to exercise ourselves in "great matters" or "high things"(which in my opinion are things that are not explained by Scripture or the Holy Spirit). Having said all that, however, I'd like to reiterate that I meant no offense, that I spoke out of what I believe to be a legitimate urging by the Spirit. I apologize to the writer if any offense was taken. Yet, I would still encourage him/her to question the reason for the question. |

Tessie, However we do not know whether that was the case or if he is a "baby Christian" and is really trying to understand. As for Psalm 131 - Adam Clarke's Commentary says: Psalms 131 - The psalmist professes his humility, and the peaceableness of his disposition and conduct, Psa_131:1, Psa_131:2. Exhorts Israel to hope in God, Psa_131:3. Matthew Henry's Commentary say, "This psalm is David's profession of humility, humbly made, with thankfulness to God for his grace, and not in vain-glory." Treasure of Scriptual Knowledge says, "Psa_131:1, David, professing his humility, Psa_131:3, exhorts Israel to trust in God. Adam Barnes Notes on the Bible say, " this psalm was probably a private meditation on what he had done, and was of the nature of a personal examination of his spirit and motives." J,F, and B's commentary says, "Psa_131:1-3. This Psalm, while expressive of David’s pious feelings on assuming the royal office, teaches the humble, submissive temper of a true child of God." John Darby's Synopsis says, "Psa 131:1-3 - Psalm 131 briefly states the humble absence of all self-confidence, that so he has walked. Israel is now to trust in Jehovah and for ever." I can not find one commentary that says this psalm does not address pride. Could I ask where you found that it does not address pride? I would be very interested to know. prayon |
