Bible Question: Dear Ric: Your answer looks good and sound to me. But is there no clear verse(s) of Scripture that directly answers the question? |
Bible Answer: I can't find a verse to answer your question, it's just a metaphor in Hebrew when one is called "friend of God" to be known as righteous in God's eyes. |
