1 | Did Jesus chat? | Not Specified | JoReba | 230262 | ||
I John 2:6, "He that saith he abideth in him [Jesus] ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked." James 3:13b, "Let him [a wise man] show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom." Jesus' followers are to conduct themselves as Jesus walked, and are to speak of their works with meek wisdom. Proverbs 10:19, "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin; but he that refraineth his lips is wise." Matthew 12:36, "But I [Jesus] say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement." Titus 2:1-6 instructs "young men," "older men," "young women," and "older women" to be "sober." Webster's Dictionary, "chat n. light, informal talk." Jesus is always quoted in Scripture to have spoken concisely, directly, and entirely germane to the agenda of His Father. He never is shown to have spoken upon any one topic for more than a few minutes. Jesus never chatted. The question therefore comes, "Should Jesus' followers, i.e. those who are supposed to 'walk as he [Jesus] walked,' ever chat? Remember, the answer to this and to every other question of Christian conduct should be answered with the contents of Scripture, and not with the intuitive notions of popular human culture. |
