  1. Gosh I'm in Romans and you are so right
    About how God hates sin .I have Been trying to reconcile my personal differences
    And I can not get there with this person
    She is a Christian
    It was a wicked sin against me awful and is ignoring my need to
    Resolve this. I feel she doesn't want to take any responsibility.?
    I feel their was really no relationship she ever had with me .
    It was a very good study I needed to hear
    It came to me at the right time I'm going to listen to it again and soak in the wisdom you imparted thank you so very very much
    Happy 🇺🇸 4th to you and yours

  2. On this subject, why do we confine imprecatory utterances only to the Psalms, while we can see so many prayers in the old testament made by the O.T saints were imprecatory in nature.
    The other question if David was right in praying in that manner for his enemies were God's enemy, in the N.T we don't pray in the same manner even though we know that our enemies or the enemies of the gospel are God's enemies. We pray like Jesus on the cross Luke 23:34 or like Stephen in Acts 7:60. I've found no clarity in the scriptures in the N.T to support praying in that manner.
