Subject: How dangerous is the Tongue? |
Bible Note: "Has been taken this Bible Study way off on Happiness to be in un-holy action against another saint. For what Jesus is not pleased with this at all.........................." Hi, Happiness! I may be really obtuse but I do not recall being anything but humble... I have patiently responded to your posts, asking clarification when I did not understand your question or statement (as it is in the case of the above quote). Perhaps there is a language situation... but I have read your queries and your responses to some of the answers posted by other members on this forum and, frankly, I found you to be expressing yourself with some form of "know-all-spirituality." I even had to question you on one particular response because it treaded quite close to an insult (it seem to be saying: read it again genius). After I offered various passages, in the New Testament, dealing with the tongue you supplied a reference to Proverbs as the en result of your quest... I transcribed every passage that I found, in Proverbs, that dealt with the tongue, rechecked them agains other Bible, and posted them with a question to the effect of: "What now?" How have I behaved in an unChristian manner? "Satan always want to put saints down in a negative way. Slander another saints name and leash aganist the truth ! We watched Passion of Christ and still does not know how to live holy or love our neighbors! For God so love the world he gave his only begotten son John 3:16 The Holy Bible is not to play with as a game an some of us haven't realized it. Somebody is reading this and learning and not no one is perfect but Christ." If the above quote is a general statement, I agree with you fully. But, if you are addressing me, personally, I suggest that you reread my posts (Screen Name: JCrichton; Signature: Angel). I have in no way slandered you, your posts, or your name. I did, recently, posted a general question regarding the disrespectul use of lower case "g" when refering to Yahweh or the Lord as God. There was another point that I made--it was over the various tags (screen names) that suggest something other than a Christian fellowship. Both of these accounts, however, do not reflect badly on you or your posts! Now, as far as the study on the tongue (the human organ and its uses) I still suggest to you that James 3:1-12 is more clear and comprehensive than Proverbs. And his follow-up, verses 13-18, is an excellent summation of our relationship with God and our responsibility as Christians. In Christ's Love! Angel |
