PSALMS
CHAPTER 32
TABLE
OF CONTENTS
OBSERVATION
STAGE
The purpose of
the observation stage is to maintain focus on the text at hand within the
normative rules of language, context and logic 
.which largely limits the observer to the
content offered by passage at hand. Other passages must have a
relationship with the context at hand, such as a Scriptural quotation or
reference in the passage at hand. This will serve to avoid going on
unnecessary tangents elsewhere; and more importantly, it will provide the
framework for a proper and objective comparison with passages located
elsewhere in Scripture.
Remember that
something elsewhere may be true, but in the text at hand it may not be in
view.

WHEN THERE IS NO DECEIT IN ONE'S HUMAN SPIRIT RELATIVE TO NOT HIDING
ONE'S CURRENT SINS BEFORE GOD, (I.E., THERE IS CONFESSION OF KNOWN SINS
TO GOD) THEN THERE IS COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE FORGIVENESS OF ALL SINS,
INIQUITIES AND TRANSGRESSIONS AND RESTORATION OF EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL
BLESSINGS - FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
D)
VERSES 1 AND 2 REFLECT ON HOW BLESSED IS THE FORGIVENESS OF ONES SINS
BEFORE GOD IN WHOSE [HUMAN] SPIRIT THERE IS NO DECEIT RELATIVE TO SINS
COMMITTED DURING A PARTICULAR TIME; I.E., ONES SINS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED/
CONFESSED TO GOD BY A BELIEVER

[Compare 2 Sam 23:5]:
E)
TEMPORAL FORGIVENESS OF A BELIEVER INCLUDES BEING BLESSED WITH AN
EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL WELL BEING - A PART OF THE BELIEVER'S RESTORATION
OF DAILY FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD WHICH OCCURS WHEN HE CONFESSES HIS SINS TO
GOD. THE RECEPTION OF ETERNAL LIFE IS NOT IN VIEW IN PSALMS 32
