I sometimes highlight comments that are particularly insightful or, as is the case here, puzzling. Referring to my comment four or five posts ago that Douglas Wilson and his pals are like “a passle of puerile 12-year-olds” in their mocking of Anthony Weiner, faithful reader “Rob” has this to say:
(Quoting me) “I’m pretty sure that God takes no delight in Wilson’s serrated edge…”
(Rob says . . . ) Derision is clearly biblical: “He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.” Psalm 2:4
A reading of the whole Psalm 2 is instructive
To which I’ve replied:
Ummm, Rob, did you notice that it is the LORD Almighty who laughs and who holds sinners in derision? That’s not the province of sinful humankind, no matter how prolific one’s vanity press or manly his beard.
Really? Is it that easy for you to read “Douglas Wilson” into Bible verses that speak of the prerogative of Yahweh?
You might find reflecting on that . . . instructive.
