You need to take those in context, not pull one line out.
What the first guy said.

Friend you are looking at 2 different settings, In Ps. 92:12, You are looking at the righteous during the millennium, how they shall florish throughout the 1000 yrs. reigning with Christ upon this earth, In Isa. You are looking at a Prophecy, here, Concerning Israel how she will be scattered until the endtime. Sometimes if you can get the correct settings, it may look like the bible is double talking, but once you get a true revelation & the settings & time factors, You can see the picture

If you are a Christian, you believe that this life will end, and that eternal life in the presence of the Almighty God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit will then begin. Jesus said that his followers would be persecuted because of their faith in Him. If you believe these things, you expect that this life will come with its own hardships, and you will expect the glory of the eternal life that Jesus gives you. If you weight an extremely difficult life of 100 years against the glory of an eternity in the presence of the Lord Jesus, you welcome any persecution on thie earth.
If you want to understand a Christian's point of view, read the book "The Heavenly Man", about the experiences of Brother Yun, a Chinese Christian.

You ought to take everything in totality and not just pull out single verses. None of God's word is wrong. Read the books again and you will get the context in which the verses were written.

Both are correct. Usually the righteous perish in this world. However, they will flourish in God's Kingdom.

Both are correct. Go and get a study bible to know the meaning behind these verses.

Now... let me ask you.... did you read the verse or did you read the word?......
because anyone can take a word out of a book and read the first sentence and get it twisted....
hell the devil did!!!!
It was written:
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
But, the devil tempted Jesus with this......
Matthew 4:6
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
read it before you quote it... At least don't twist it.....
Your sister,
Ginger
