Plasm 26:4

[James Barnett]

I do not sit with false persons, nor fellowship with pretenders;

Who would be false persons and pretenders ? So I know who to watch out for.

 

[ClementofRome]

In the context of the Psalm, it appears to be those who would be gravitating toward David under false pretenses. David is going through quite a piece of self-examination at the outset of the psalm and what follows seems to be a comparison and contrast of purity and true intent v impurity and false intent.

So, who are the one about whom you ask? I would say those who say one thing and mean another.... to bring in a NT parallel...., maybe they are the ones who say "Lord, Lord"...yet he did not know them.

Thank you both, as I am new here and a Born-again Christian, I have much to learn, many questions, I am not happy about my past, but I am hopeful of my future in my believe in Jesus Christ. I have already begun to learn here at Christian Forums, some good , some bad, but learning none the less. I'm in such a hurry many times to be better than I am, that I miss what is front of me at the moment. I asked this paticular question, because all of my past associates have been of unsavory character and from which I have drawn much of my descision making skills.
