[OBW]

While it is a nit-picky point, I would have titled the thread "The Psalms are the Word of God" rather thant "of Christ." Just a preference for avoiding the kind of mixing up of the Three of the Trinity. I note that in Hebrews it says that God spoke in various ways, but more recently through Christ (my paraphrase).

We can take the "Christ is the Word of God" to the extreme. But the OT itself reveals God as speaking and the NT reveals that Christ spoke in later times. I also note that Christ is the Word of God, not the Word of Christ. When we speak of Psalms, we are talking about the Word of God, not the Word of Christ.

But that was not the reason for posting. I think that the point concerning Lee's virtual dismissal of the Psalms is well made. I had a lot more to say about it, but it was not much more than observations of the amount of ink given to Psalms, much of which was all but suggesting that it should not have been included in the Bible.

The real problem is not even in the amount of time and ink given, but in the attitude toward so much of it. We have now seen through footnotes that Lee really didn't think much of the Psalms.

That means he didn't think very much about God's Word.

And that kind of a person really has no business claiming to be a teacher of God's Word.

Period.

End of story.
