I see do...I think Psalm 22 was referring to Jesus. <br />I see doubt as a state of mind, trust as an action.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000837569274162013.post-73693471839698389942012-04-06T06:42:02.640-07:002012-04-06T06:42:02.640-07:00It's true, I think doubt and trust are opposed...It's true, I think doubt and trust are opposed. I don't t that's too far-fetched a statement. <br /><br />But I want to ask you a question. Do you suppose Jesus wasn't referring to Psalm 22?Isaiah Kallmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654198174625579865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000837569274162013.post-82541422146479299272012-04-04T19:20:23.793-07:002012-04-04T19:20:23.793-07:00LOL. I honestly disagree. I think he could have pr...LOL. I honestly disagree. I think he could have prayed "Into your hands I commit my spirit" and "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"<br />I think it proves doubt isn't bad. It's not the panacea that some want to make it but it's real and honest. As I said before, I am not sure that your position allows for doubt. IF no doubt can be allowed, there isn't much room for honest faith, IMO. <br />A simple reading of the Text does not lend itself to your interpretation, which may not mean anything. <br />I don't believe your conclusions can logically flow from your proposition either. Could Jesus have doubted and trusted at the same time? <br />You seem to be saying that doubting is the same as giving in. That's not logical. I've been afraid to hook up to a zip line but I've done it because the job required it. I've had many thoughts...that did not control my actions. <br />I don't see how you can read the text and say that Jesus didn't mean what He said. <br />I also don't think that if he meant what he said, that it naturally follows that He was suddenly not trusting God.Joenoreply@blogger.com
