The Psalms are the word of Christ

I give WL more credit for intelligence than that (except for when he was in his 90's his mind was not working so well, but his supporters kept saying that his ministry was getting higher and richer.)
WL's ministry was severely lacking in the working together of faith and works. Most psalms have this as their basic structure, as does much of the NT. It seems rather than acknowledge a severe lack in his ministry, WL said the word of God was wrong. As far as I know, WN never did this.

What verse is that?

Third, when John quoted Psalm 69, "And His disciples remembered where it was written, 'Zeal of Thy house has eaten Me up"', John was presupposing familiarity with the cited text. But in the evangelical, fundamentalist thought-world we take for granted the NT authority as intrinsic to itself, and typically downplay or even ignore the source text. How many Christians really have deep familiarity with Psalm 69, in toto?

good point

Here is a verse that I have trouble with, Ps 31:6
6 I have hated the keepers
of worthless vanities,
but I've to the LORD trusted.

In the NT we are not supposed to hate people. I wish the verse said, "I have hated the keeping of worthless vanities", but that rendering doesn't seem possible.

what do you do with this verse, anyone?
