Wow, how many times have I been told that! Have you readContext matters. Maybe looking into what those words really mean. No offense but not worth getting into when you take verses out of context. for one David said my flesh, I fear and on and on.
the New Testament? Jesus and the apostles quote scriptures
all the time. This is why in Acts the Bereans were said to be
more noble than the Thessalonians, because they searched
the scriptures daily to verify Paul's teaching. You have a Bible
in the next tab of your computer next to this forum cite.
How much of Psalm 119 do I have to quote for your context?
What is even more important is to take time to meditate on
the scripture and consider the application. Let's try that:
Notice this is not some common statement about the fear of God,[David]
Psalm 119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.
such as in Proverbs. "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom".
Here David says specifically "I am afraid of Your judgments."
A far cry from your distorted comment:
"David said my flesh, I fear and on and on."
It would take many threads to fully consider the context
of the role of God's judgment, as it is spoken of in the Gospel.
Here is one "out of context".
Colossians 3:25 But he who does wrong will be repaid
for what he has done, and there is no partiality.
Now you can be more noble and scrutinize the passage
more closely.
