The Psalms are the word of Christ

The BBs gained control by being most ardent supporters of WL and LSM. The only thing they know is the footnotes. So this requirement is to keep them relevant. They are unable to get light from the word.

ZNP,

There is some light in the footnotes. Occasionally there may be a lot. I still sometimes share things with my Christian friends which originally came to me via outline, footnote, and Lee aphorism. And other than my recent foray into the Psalms footnotes, I haven't read them for years. Yet some of them still resonate, at least faintly.

But I would like to contrast that to my recent experiences. Like I shared about how in Acts chapter 2 Peter "saw Christ" there in the text of Psalm 16, I began to see Christ in the experiences of these characters. I began to hear His voice. I could feel His love for His Father. I can tell you, it was spiritually, psychologically, emotionally devastating. I cannot put into words what it was like, to feel Jesus Christ. It was right there in those words in front of me: all the pain, the hope, the fear, the faith. It was an overwhelming experience. It was like Christ was suddenly real, right in front of me, and everything else just faded away. All the doctrines, all the teachings, all the footnotes, all the trainings. Compared to the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ, it was all dross.

Whether or not I am now too heavenly to be any earthly good, I guess I'll find out at the Judgment Seat, if not before. But I can say this: all those intermediaries (like Lee and his footnotes) to the text can now take a back seat. And if the footnotes tell me there is no Christ here to be found, I will rather firmly disagree.

Today I have a great hunger for the Word of God, if only that I want to see that blinding light again. I want my heart to be aflame again. So I foray into the text again and again, searching.
