Discuss Psalms 119 Page 3

I looked into this for you Mary,

Psalms 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible being 176 verses. It is divided into sections using the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In which the first letter being Aleph then ending with the last letter Tau.

Hope that answers the question about those words you see in that chapter.

God Bless.

Question: In Psalms 119 there are several verses that have one word (all caps) at the beginning of certain sentences What is the meaning and the purpose

These are all Hebrew alphabet. Alaph, Beth, Gimal etc.,. Each and every line of a set of verses under an Alphabet starts from the corresponding alphabet. It clearly shows that David is well known to write songs (handling his language as a professional)

This is a powerful line of prayer!

Donald,

Read 1 Corinthians 8:8. Righteous before God is not by what you do, but by what you believe. Did Jesus pay for YOUR sins? The law was a schoolmaster to show us we are sinners that need Christ for salvation, not to make us good enough for God to save. Galatians 3:24. People who see a relationship with God through merit, are not only wrong, but also misrepresent what the real relationship looks like.

Should I eat pork?

The Lord is our Shepard and he leads us to green pastures Hazel, he will leave the 99 to bring you home. His sheep seek his face and righteous and know his voice as he know us, call out to him. God bless you!

I believe that Psalm 119 is so long (176 verses) that it is divided by the Jewish alphabet A = Aleph, B = Beth etc... to divide it into smaller more readable portions. I have only read this today as part of my morning prayers, I hope this helps.

What does ALEPH and GIMEL in Psalm 119 mean? Thank you

the lord is good,and his mercies are everlasting.

I sometimes feels like the lost sheep and ask for the Lord to hole my hand and guide me o LORD

THY word have I hid in mine heart that I may not sin against Thee / when we hide something and we have need of it we return to that place where it were hidden.

Matthew 7:13

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat

Matthew 7:14

"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

Psalms 119:105

Matthew 25:21

Psalms 118 19-23

God bless you JR

To get baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ is a wonderful thing. Afterward you have to consecrate you life, praying every day to receive the Holy Ghost.

But remember that before you get baptized you must have repented of your sin. That includes going to the people you know and asking them to forgive you if you have done anything wrong to them. It does not matter whether you know of something wrong you did to them or not. Go to everyone you know and tell them that you have given your life to Jesus Christ and now you are asking them to forgive you if you did something wrong to them.

Peace and Love in Christ

i attend assembly of God but not baptized by the holy spirit, im scared to get baptized but excited to as well to get baptized...

Thanks for your reply.....i agree.....with the sacred songster all i can say is....'what is man....."

Ian, that's a question many have contemplated long & hard over the generations. You could receive different views, but I can only share how I consider such an intriguing matter.

Whatever things are hidden from us & are in the domain of Almighty God need to remain with Him, without our compulsions to believe a certain way. One of the best verses that gives us a glimpse of this is in Ephesians 1:3-5 where Paul tells us of God's Plan for those He chooses. However, the verses only tell us that God has chosen us IN HIM (in Christ) even before the foundation of the world to be holy beings. And that God has predestined (planned our destiny) to be called His children through Jesus Christ & according to His good pleasure.

But, as you ask, why some & not others? Are we so privileged to belong to Him because our names were 'drawn out of a hat'? Or, did God, in His Omniscience, already know those whom He wanted or would respond to His Call & therefore appointed us to receive salvation? Is it at all possible that there could be some earnest soul wanting to be saved through Jesus, but is refused because of not being predestined? I have never seen such a pitiful situation as this.

Then why is the Gospel preached by the Apostles & the Church, if God's predestining overrides any effort or desire on our part? The only way I can understand this aspect of God's Character is by harmonizing the Scriptures. If His Love for the sinner was so great & persistent that He would send His Son for our sake & that Jesus Himself enjoined his apostles to take this Gospel message to the far reaches of the globe, then surely God's predestining & choosing is dependent on His prompting of a heart to hunger for Truth, to hear & receive the Gospel & be sealed with His Spirit. And those who will reject the Truth because of the hardness of their hearts, to them God has not shed Light nor predestined to salvation. Yet we still preach the Gospel so all may hear & know - that's our responsibility.

Why does God choose to open the eyes of some to saving truth yet not to others

Amen. We go the Way of God. John 14:6

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Our daughter was saved at a young age. She matured & grew in the Lord with much discernment. By the time she was 23 she was into homosexuality & has married her partner. She is going to be 46 in Oct. My question is if she has lost her salvation because of her lifestyle choice?

Annie - that is so true. Same edomite problem with many leaders in so called churches or they are sold out to them. I hate easter / xmass and what not so I am not of that crowd. One thing that bothers me about messianics is few will stand against the Talmud. I have read some of it in book form in the reference section of the library. I know what it says.

I had some claiming to be messianic deny the talmud exists. I know better. The kabbalah / Zohar is even worse. King Herod was an edomite per Jewish historian Josephus and yet he, Herod, would claim to be a "Jew" I am sure as he was involved in running the temple in the days of Christ. Yes the edomites give the true Jews and few true christians a bad name.

I am sure they planted xmass to drive away true jews away from churches. I have great respect for the Torah / Tanach believing Jews and know the Israeli state treats them poorly. I consider them as lost sheep. The ADL says the Vatican supports the ADL. When you came to Christ, did the family have a funeral? Following the way is oftentimes a lonely road. Stay close to the Lord things are getting bad.

Just a little comment concerning the Jewish people. Not all who say they are Jews, are true Jews, there are Edomites etc. But, it is sad to see that the Messianic's are never included. They are in the middle. The Jews don't want them and the Christians don't either, and yet they love Yeshua passionately, and do their best to live according to His Will. I know I am one.

I am thankful how God strength me on a daily basis without him in my life. I would not have made the journey as long as I have. Amen

Psalms 119:9 " Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word."

Spending time in God's word will cleanse you spiritually as well as physically.

I say spiritually first because I know christians with physical ailments that were given these as a cross to bear. Yet many find that God's grace is sufficient for them.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

Tom, Why does everyone insist that those over in the middle east are Israel? Just because someone claims to be a jew does not make it so.

Jesus in bible book Revelation 2:9 - I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

1 John 2:22 - Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son

(ALL Jews deny Jesus and that makes them antichrist, if they believed in Jesus then they would be CHRISTIANS. IF you do not believe me call any Synagogue and ask them if Jesus is the Messiah.)

1 John 2:23 - Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

If Jews do not accept Jesus as messiah, then who is their messiah?

1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha.

DO JEWS LOVE JESUS OR ARE THEY CURSED?

King James Bible book of John 5:16 - And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

John 5:18 - Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

John 7:1 - After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:14, 16 - For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, EVEN AS THEY HAVE OF THE JEWS: WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and THEY PLEASE NOT GOD, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: FOR THE WRATH IS COME UPON THEM TO THE UTTERMOST.
