CS Lewis said the Psalmists were “Homicidal and Fanatic”
I will behave myself in a perfect way … I will not know evil. Psa 101:2,4
O Jehovah, judge me according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity in me. Psa 7:8.
And Jehovah has returned to me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes. Psa 18:24
Preserve my soul for I am holy. Psa 86:2
My comment: Obviously either David was under a delusion or this is Christ speaking. The New Testament interpretation is that Christ is the Psalmist. Compare Hebrews 7:26 with Psalm 26…
Hebrews 7:26
For such a High Priest was fitting for us: holy, harmless, undefiled, and separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens;Psalm 26:6,9,11
I will wash my hands in innocency; so I will go around Your altar, O Jehovah, Do not gather up my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood, But I will walk in my integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me.My comment: Look at the similarity between Psalm 1 and messianic prophecies in Isaiah. Clearly, Christ is the tree — the righteous man — that bears fruit.
Psalm 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of waters, which will give its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf will not wither, and all which he does will prosper.Isaiah 11:1
And a Shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch will bear fruit out of his roots.Isaiah 4:2
In that day the Branch of Jehovah will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth for pride and for glory for the survivors of Israel.My comment: According to the Apostles, David was merely a mouthpiece that Christ spoke through…
the Holy Spirit spoke before through David’s mouth. Acts 1:15
[God spoke] through the mouth of Your servant David. Acts 4:25
[God was] saying in David. Heb 4:7
David in Spirit [calls]. Mt 22:43
My comment: This makes sense. But is there a double meaning in the Psalms — one about Christ and one about David? Well, how can Psalm 75 have any application to David? Did David in any way sustain the earth?
Psalm 75:3
The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly.My comment: David was merely the tongue Christ wrote through. Christ does not share his glory in the Psalms with a man! “I will not give my glory to another”. And is Christ completely arbritary? Did he just arbritarily pick and choose different diary entries from David’s life? Not at all. When prophesying, the prophets were not writing about their own sufferings, but Christ’s…
And these are the last words of David … The Spirit of Jehovah has spoken by me, and His Word is ON MY TONGUE. 2 Sam 23:1,3
The prophets wrote concerning the sufferings of Christ. 1 Pet 1:11
every prophecy of Scripture did not come into being of its own interpretation. 2 Pet 1:20
For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10
My comment: Many people try to use the Psalms to justify doubting. They say that in the Psalms, David was “forsaken” and “God hid his face from David”. This is the very opposite of the New Testament interpretation. Christ was forsaken — why? So that believers would never have to be forsaken…
Hebrews 5:7
[Christ] in the days of His flesh was offering both petitions and entreaties to Him being able to save Him from death, with strong crying and tears, and being heard from His godly fear;Psalm 6:9
Jehovah has heard my plea; Jehovah will receive my prayer.My comment: The Psalms are the prayers of Christ under the wrath of God and pleading his perfect righteousness on behalf of His people.
Note – CS Lewis is the author of such infamous works as “Mere Christianity” and “The Screwtape letters”. As well as “Surprised by Joy” and “Reflections on the Psalms” etc

You are worse with logic than Joel Osteen. You are both slanders and both pervert the word of God. You should be ashamed of yourself. You need to get a theological education, because your theological thinking and your logic are completely and utterly miserable.

Just tell me how do you explain this passage that has been interpreted as David speaking about the Messiah and God…
Psalm 110 1The LORD says to my Lord:
”Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
Hermeneutics 101: force everything in the Bible to “be about Jesus” and you can explain everything! Hooray!
I’ve seen your youtube videos. You are 22 years old, yet with the attitude of your analysis you claim to have a greater understanding of scripture than C.S. Lewis, John Piper, John MacArthur and many other learned, proven, theologians. Be careful of your pride.
May the Father of lights be blessed for this Christocentric, orthodox understanding of the Psalms as the Word of Christ (Col. 3:16)! Keep up, Andrew! Good witness to the truth!
