[Aaron]

Are you stating that Christ was burned outside the camp?

Yes. Yes I am. As much as Christ was a four-footed woolly, He was burned outside the camp. [admin...get a better 'roll eyes' emoticon, please]

 

[Aaron]

No doubt that a portion of this psalm can be applicable to all who have suffered, but it is only related to the Christ in that area of being quoted in Hebrews which is used to show the unchangeable God.

Sez you.

There is no indication that the psalm applies to the Saviour.

The Psalmist is contrasting his own estate of decline with that of the Lord who is unchangeable and eternal.

The Lord was never taken outside the camp and burned.

The Lord was never taken outside the camp and burned.

The "burning" was a picture of being totally consumed. Christ was taken out of the city and bore the fiery wrath of God for our iniquity.

Eisegesis.

Sarcasm escapes you. It seems that symbolism does too.
