Bible Question: Psalm 119:9-Why does it specify YOUNG man? |
Bible Answer: lordjusbpleazd Since this has sat here almost all day and no one took a stab at it, I will. I can think of a few possible reasons but again since the Bible doesn't say it is just speculation. First hopefully an old man has already learned this lesson. Another might be as we age the less likely it becomes we are going to change. So there is little point trying to reason with an old man. Another possibility is perhaps the writers age was such that most everyone to him was young. Perhaps it is showing a Father son relationship. No matter my age my father always referred to me as young man. EdB |
