Bible Question: some where in James it talks about, controling what you say, do anyone know which chapter that is |
Bible Answer: Dear Harris The mouth isn't the problem. If you think about it the mouth (tongue) is just unruly it constitutes the end of the pipe ie, the spigot. The place where things emanate but not where those things originated. The (HEART) being the place where all of the poison is produced the tongue (mouth) cannot of itself produce anything it can only give voice to what the heart spews forth. These things do not originate in the mouth. The actual taming of the tongue is the cleansing of the heart. You can decide to not say certain things, but that does not change the things that the heart thinks (feels). When your heart is changed then you will not speak those things that would offend. The Holy Spirit will do the work of changing your heart. Matt.12:33_37 33) "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for (AK)the tree is known by its fruit. 34) "(AL)You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? (AM)For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 35) "(AN)The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. 36) "But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in (AO)the day of judgment. 37) "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Luke 6:43_45 43) "(AS)For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. 44) "(AT)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 45) "(AU)The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; (AV)for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. Matt.15:10,11,17-20 10) After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, "Hear and understand. 11) "(H)It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." 17) "Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? 18) "But (M)the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. 19) "(N)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20) "These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man."
