I’m glad you can see another interpretation of Psalm 12. God’s plan has always been to defeat Satan and save all who would turn to Him. Yes, there is a perfect Living Word—proven by His resurrection from the dead. He made a promise to us. The key word in your comment here is “if,” and it...

Mmmm-hmmmm! And I won’t say, “I told you so!” :ROFL:

Listen to what your Heavenly Father says…. not what man says.

It has always been us that God intended to save, and that promise has been fulfilled first in Christ. We are heirs to that promise.

No one has argued otherwise. You have just missed the point along the way. Would you say that in this present age, with all the corruption we see and hear about every day, that godliness is leaving the earth? I would say so. But so far, God has kept the promise He made in Psalm 12:5, has He...

We all believe that God’s word is eternal and has been preserved for us throughout time.

No one is debating the fact that God’s word has been preserved throughout the ages—only that Psalm 12 is about God preserving His people.

God’s grace saves us, just as He promises in Psalm 12:5. Only then, by faith and with the help of the Holy Spirit, can scripture instruct and guide. But God’s promise of salvation and His plan to defeat sin and death (Satan) is what all scripture is about.

My bias is against ignoring God’s promise in verse 5. That promise is the context for the entire psalm. And yes, there certainly are other verses that say God’s word will endure forever, which I provided.

@Bible_Highlighter …. We have other scriptures that tell us that the word of the LORD endures forever; so there is no need to make up an “immediate” context for one verse—another name for taking one verse out of context, or cherry picking. For believers, these examples relieve any doubt that...

Oops…. I‘m an English teacher, and I disagree. As the psalm opens, the psalmist is pleading for help because godliness is disappearing from the earth. The Lord responds to his plea in verse 5. If this were written in prose, verse 5 would be a separate paragraph. In verses 6-8, the psalmist...

Wow! This answer to a very simple question is one of the best examples of “overreach” I have ever seen. Psalm 12 is clearly written to assure us that God will be faithful to preserve His own, even in the midst of wicked people living in wicked times as described in verses 1-4. How do we know...

Correction should always be for the good of the child and is not abusive. Correction that comes with wisdom and love from our Creator is even better than that we may have received from our earthy parents—because God’s correction turns us toward Him and leads us into eternal life.

So they are smart morons? Smart morons are very good at circular reasoning.

Perhaps you didn’t notice that I did not quote 2 Timothy 2:15. I quoted 2 Timothy 3:15-17. So whether or not one wants to comfort himself with the thought that study may not be required, 2 Timothy 3:15-17 actually tells us the blessings that study and practice of the God-breathed Word will...
