Telling of good works IS PRAISE!
Acts 2:11 KJV Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
Psalms 107:8 KJV Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

*sigh*
Brother Blume I am really disappointed sometimes in what I see coming to me in your posts. You have been a man of great honesty and sometimes it seems you are attempting to stretch the word. |
Wow. If this does not take the cake!!!
Brother! You claim I am acting dishonestly and stretching the word??? I plainly proved that PRAISING INCLUDES SPEAKING THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD. The verses in Psalm prove it. I mean, it tells us to praise God by speaking of his wonderful works, and you say I am dishonest in quoting that and saying Praise IS INDEED speaking his wonderful works??
Brother, talk about dishonesty! Whew!

Okay... but I'll take my time and demonstrate what I am talking about.
This verse does not, by any stretch of anyones imagination, define the telling of God's good works as praise, praise only, and only praise never to ever, ever be anything else..

Now, did I said speaking his wonderful works IS PRAISE ONLY? Give me a break here. Lol
Someone said SPEAKING WONDERFUL WORKS IS NOT PRAISE. I showed where it is. Had I been challenged that speaking of his wonderful works IS NOT PRAISE ALONE, that woudl be one thing for me to respond with that Psalm. But that is not what was said, and that is not what I responded to with the Psalm!
Please!
If you told me that cars are not blue, I would not think you were telling me that the only things that are blue are NOT cars. Do not change the point I addressed.

Now... we all know praise CAN BE telling of God's good works.
|
Well, that is not what I was told. I was told praise IS NOT speaking the wonderful works of God.

But... let's look at your verse.
Oh that men would praise the LORD... FOR His goodness.... FOR his wonderful works.
I can praise Him for many things. But that doesn't automatically make every single time anyone mentions Gods wonderful works praise, praise only, and nothing but praise.
|
You did the same mistake again! Think of it. It is ALSO NOT SAYING you CANNOT SPEAK OF HIS WONDERFUL WORKS WHEN YOU PRAISE HIM FOR THEM!
First of all, if you are going to call someone dishonest and stretching, then don't change the argument one made by changing the original statement the argument addressed. And secondly, do not change the argument as though I claimed the ONLY way to speak of his wonderful works is to praise. I addressed the statement PRAISE IS NOT SPEAKING ABOUT WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD. And I stand by my word that this is proved wrong by the Psalm I quoted. Nothing more nor less.

You know that Brother Blume. Why are you grasping so hard at straws?

Straws? (Whew!)
