Glenda   --\n\nSince this is your only activity, I do not know if this is a loaded question or not.  For the sake of possible true interest, I will take the time to answer as best as I can.\nI am curious as to why you broke the passage down into two verse segments.  The entire 82nd Psalm is titled A psalm of Asaph.  It is presumed to be written by Asaph, who was a Levite leader of the choir of King David.\n\nVerses 1&2 is the introduction.  Asaph summarizes by saying that Divinity has judged the mighty ones (the elohim).  In this case, he was referring to the court judges, not pagan gods.  This is followed by the results of that Divine judgment, the admonition in the form of a question:  How much longer will you (the judges) favor the wicked with your unfair decisions?\n\nThis is punctuated with the Hebrew word Seleh.  This could be a fanfare or a choral response (or even a verbal equivalent of the Christian Amen).  It is often translated into English as an Interlude.\n\nVerses 3&4 lists the primary failures of the Judges, or at least tells them what they should be doing.  Hebrew use of shame.  Basically it calls for the Judges to stand up for the rights of those with little or no political power: the poor, the orphans, the needy, the afflicted or oppressed.  Help these out of the clutches of wicked.\n\nVerses 5&6 list the position of the wicked oppressors:  they are ignorant and without wisdom.  They are in darkness, but because they do not know this , they shake the entire world.  Again Asaph calls upon the Judges as the mighty ones (elohim), but not reminds them that all of humanity are children of the Most High.\n\nVerses 7&8 sum the concepts saying that even the Judges are men and will pass on.  Divinity will judge the earth and reveal the legacy.\n\nMy Hebrew is a little rusty, so please forgive any minor mistakes. The most confusing part of the text is the use of the word elohim (which is plural) and is similar to the singular form of the word used to address Divinity.  The King James version translates this as the word gods.

Nope,it's one of those passages that I disagree with.What you quoted was one of many unethical verses in the bible.I don't believe or follow everything I read.

While I agree that 7 is a number that represents perfection or completion, I can't find that passage either.  If you'd give your reference, I'd be happy to look at it and give you a better answer.\n\nLOL!  \n\nAh, well there you have it!  I cannot defend made up verses.\n\nMaybe it's in the same version that has "cleanliness is next to Godliness......."

Yeah its definitely about Jesus Christ.  "For he's my rock, my refuge" That's from the psalms.  And they talk about Jesus dieing on the cross for all of mans' sins in the last paragraph.  I like it alot

<*> Scripture that all our acts and words will be public at the final judgment.\nI try to live with respect for others but have to admit I've had thoughts , said and done things even since i came to know the Lord I am not proud of.

Say: "O People of the Book! Let us rally to a common formula to be binding upon both us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; and that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God." (Qu'ran, 3:64)\n\nThis is our call to the Jews, a People of the Book: As people who believe in God and obey His commands, let us come together in a common formula of "faith." Let us love God, the Lord and Creator of all of us. Let us abide by His commands. Let us pray to God to lead us further on the path of righteousness. Let us bring love, compassion, and peace to each other and the world, not hostility, bloodshed, and anguish.\n\nThat is where the solution to the Palestinian tragedy and other conflicts in the world lies. The deaths and suffering of so many innocent people remind us every day what an urgent task this is.\n\nSee the following site:\nhttp://www.palestiniantragedy.com/

hmmmm, this will be good!!\n\nFor: GINEVRA1WEASLEY, how is he pulling things of contexts when it's from your very own Bible? 32 (Bible) Scholars couldn't get it right and I doubt that you'll be able to get it right..

Romans 12:19  \n\n    19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

That poem rocks.  I know that it is controversial.  I would be interested to see what people thought of a choice line or two from the poem.

read Psalms Chapter 9. (incidentally, it is somewhat difficult to understand your detailed info. It is nice, but deep...perhaps too much for my feeble mind.)
