Subject: The little words |
Bible Note: Angel, Thanks for your comment, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I really wanted to know from Matt 12:34, could we conclude that even phrases, such as, "whatever" be taken as coming from the heart?? In our culture, "whatever" holds the connotation of not caring, being unconcerned, or a nonchalant attitude. Plus, as I say attitude, "whatever" is not usually identified with a good attitude. I've asked him why he uses "whatever" and he says that he just says it, as a figure of speech. Basically, my question is- Is he being truthful when he says that he's just saying it or because of Matt 12:34 should I infer that he is using this word and type of speech in other manners, because it is truly what he feels in his heart?? Does Matt 12:34 refer to just the serious matters that we speak of, as coming from the heart?? Or is Jesus speaking of ALL things that come out of our mouths as being from the heart?? Basically, I don't want to go to him and condemn him, if it is only that I am being irritated through his language manners by the adversary, but if not and what he is speaking is truly from his heart, then we need to speak about it. I just want to be sure and know. (of, course I am praying about it and asking the Lord for wisdom (Jam 1:5) and discernment.) Thanks, Lissa |
