Yes, that's why I said you guys skip "a good bit" of Psalms.
Quote:Psalms 2:12 (NLT) = "Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry,
and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
But what joy for all who take refuge in him!"
Even here, you fail to see the "joy" part.

Yes, years ago, and every now and again as it comes up.
Quote:It's pretty puzzling. Also, some of the sayings seem to be rudimentary versions of the stuff found in the Sermon on the Mount/Plain. I wasn't commenting on the "credibility" of the document. To me, canonicity does little to make one text more credible than another. I merely found it interesting, and said as much.
Er, OK, it's interesting.
