Cool verses.Psalms 23 1 Peter 2:25
Thank you brinny.Hello peoples!!!!!
God bless us, ev'ry one as we gather together on this wunnerful thread
Actually this is a very misunderstood verse.
Most Christians misapply the verse because they take it out of context and then apply literally.
Firstly, few seem to notice that if you take the verse literally Christ seems confused. Where two or three... which is it two or three? or more pertinently is it only two or three, so four or five don't qualify? Most dismiss this point as being pedantic but it's only pendantic if you take the verse literally... which is the point.. it's not literal.
Secondly, God promises “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Now if God is never leaving or forsaking us how can gathering in Jesus name mean He is with us? He's always with us?
Thirdly, if you look at the context and examine Jewish culture the meaning of this verse is really clear. To judge a matter in Jewish culture required two or three judges... and that's what Jesus is referring to here. Where two or three gather in HIS NAME to make a judgement then Christ is in that judgement. Read the context and see that this is quite plain.
So the reality is that Christ is always with us and this verse doesn't speak about that. It speaks about judging in the church.
I have many brothers and sisters here who can act as advisers. Look at this thread, am i not seeking advice? Also, is the bible not the ultimate instruction?The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. (Proverbs 12:15)
Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. (Proverbs 11:14)
Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. (Prov. 19:20-21)
Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed. (Prov. 15:22)
