We Should Fear; Many Have Been Destroyed by Their
own Words!
This target on
Words is one of the more important overall exhortations that applies
to so many people. I've seen so many, or should I say, way too many "well-meaning" people
destroyed because they continually lived in sin in this area.
·
It does not matter if you seem sincere,
it matters if you have a bridled tongue.
·
It does not matter if you think that you are loving Jesus, it matters if you are actually obeying Him
and not multiplying words.
·
It does not matter if you think that you are true,
hard-core, zealous, impressive, prophetic, faithful or
any other virtuous quality, if you like
talking, even if you tag a "biblical" subject line to it
trying to honor God, your faith is still vain and abominable in God's sight!
More than
people who seem to be talking about "good things" and "biblical
truths," God demands that we actually be people who obey Him in this area
of our tongue, and repent of the demonic lack of self-control, and the filthy,
prideful self-exaltation of talking, and liking to talk.
The Bible warns us against having a religion that
has impressive words, but does not stop indulgence:
Col_2:23 CAB These things
indeed [μὲν] have a reputation [λόγον: word
of] of wisdom in self-imposed religionG1479, false humilityG5012, and severity on the
body, but are
not of any value against the indulgence of the
flesh.
Greek:
ἐν
ἐθελοθρησκίᾳG1479
καὶ
ταπεινοφροσύνῃG5012
καὶ ἀφειδίᾳG857 σώματος
Fear God --
Instead of
Continuing to Talk
A Basic Basis for first actually being a real Disciple
who will make it to Heaven
Should We Go on Talking?
– Let us Instead Fear God!
See:
Love-Lowliness.htm#FearGod
&
Love-Lowliness.htm#Confidence
Lack of self-control is a sin. If you want to talk,
beware and be careful.
We need to be more restrictive than what comes
naturally by default.
Pro_12:13 CAB For the sin of his lips a
sinner falls into snare, but a righteous man escapes from them...
Pro_12:13 MKJV The wicked
is
snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of
trouble.
[see all of Pro_12:12-23 - as quoted later]
Pro_27:1-2 CAB
Boast not of
tomorrow, for you do not know what the next day shall bring forth. 2 Let
your neighbor, and not your own mouth,
praise you; a stranger, and not your own lips.
Pro_27:1-2 KJV Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not
what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee,
and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
Don't Be Rash
Pro_25:28 CAB As a city whose walls are broken down, and which is unfortified,
so is a man who does anything without counsel.
KJV
is very Different:
Pro_25:28 KJV
He that hath no rule over his
own spirit is
like
a city that
is
broken down, and
without walls.

Warnings Against Conversation Competition
Other dates; 5/31/17
Remember:
Be slow to speak quick to listen (Jam_1:19/ Sir_5:11)
>> See: additions (below)!!!
A
thoughtful friend said to me once, “Have you ever noticed how when you have a conversation
you will find yourself always changing the subject back to yourself?” – Be
warned whenever you cannot let another person talk about themselves and what
they relate to without bringing yourself back into the focus of the
conversation. Beware if you find yourself switching the subject back to:
Yourself, your experience, what you can relate to, and what you can talk about
or what you have to say. Non-applicable, non-matching, incongruent,
non-harmonious subject-changing control tactics are fleshly and self-serving.
If you repeatedly take and retake control of the conversation then it is not
Jesus you love, nor even the well being of the person
in front of you, but the lustful indulgence of your own personal gratification
(see Ecc_6:7; Php_3:18-19).
We usually think it is a good conversation
when we get to talk about what we want to talk about, and this is often done
with little consideration as to whether it was as fulfilling to the other
person. This is a staggering problem of profound selfishness and lack of
integrity for loving other people. If we love talking it is certain that we do
not truly love people or God, and why would we think that our soul should be
saved from a just wrath if it were found in this condition?
1Jn_4:20 CAB If anyone claims, "I love God," and
hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he
has seen, how is it possible for him to love God whom he has not seen?

Repent
of Interrupting
The Bible
plainly warns us against interrupting people, and directly commands us not to
do it. If we still do interrupt and disobey the Bible, then we need to repent
of foolishness and folly to be Christians that actually obey the Bible and go
after honor and truth.

Interrupting
is an impatience that presumes that you do not need to fully listen to the
“word” being spoken to you before you give an answer:
Pro_18:13 Jos.Trans
Any [one] who answers a
word [λόγον (logon)] before he hears [ἀκοῦσαι (hakousai)], it is
thoughtlessness [ἀφροσύνη
– senselessness/ fig. recklessness] and reproach to him.
[Technical Source
Text Note: I translated this from the Greek LXX, because
that is what the NT quotes when quoting Proverbs;
(for more see Bibliography under “Finding the Old Testament”).]
Considerations
·
In saying “a
word [λόγον (logon)]”
it is clear that this is generic for whatever a person says, since it is comparable
to many examples throughout the Bible such as the saying, “…but the word which they heard did not profit those, not having
been mixed with faith in those having heard it.” (Heb_4:2 CAB); (also, for example, Pro_25:11; Pro_15:23 (MT); Isa_50:4)
·
“answer[ing] a word [λόγον (logon)]”
means responding with words to what someone has said.
·
“before he
hears” essentially communicates that the “word” had begun being presented, but
the listener responded before this “word” was actually finished
This is
reiterated by Joshua (Jesus) the son of Sirach (some time before 175 B.C.) [Ἰησοῦς
υἱὸς Σιραχ
Ελεαζαρ] in
very specific terms:
Sir_11:6-8 KJVA Many mighty men have been greatly disgraced;
and the honourable delivered into other men's hands. 7 Blame not before thou hast examined the
truth: understand first, and then rebuke. 8
Answer not before thou hast heard the cause: neither
interrupt men in the midst of their talk.
Reaffirmed
By the Qumran Community Rule
Again,
for what it is worth, this is repeated in the Qumran Community Rule:
“No man shall
interrupt a
companion
before his speech has
ended,
nor speak before a man of
higher
rank; each man shall speak
in
his turn. And in the Assembly
of
the Congregation no man shall
speak
without consent of the
Congregation.
Whoever has
interrupted his
companion
whilst speaking [must
do penance] ten
days.”
Note:
I still need to get the specific reference for this particular quote
·
This
principal is repeated in a briefer form at the beginning of the document
numbered 4Q266
·
This ethical
code is confirmed by the New Covenant as seen later in 1Co_14
In the
Bible, even unsaved people knew it was true that you had to hear someone
completely out before “answering” them:
Joh_7:50-51 CAB Nicodemus…
said to them [Other Pharisees], 51
Does our law judge a man before it hears [ἀκούσῃ - same word as
in Pro_18:13] from him first,
and knows what he is doing?"
Note:
this theology, which is typical of ancient (honorable) Judaism, is not only
generally consistent with the Law of Moses, but it is specifically consistent
with Proverbs, and it is even more consistent with the theology of Ben Sirach
(as seen previously: “Blame not before thou hast examined the truth…” - Sir_11:7; etc.). Nicodemus is
referring to a commonly recognized virtue that even the Pharisees knew about,
which we often seem to know nothing about today in our cheap and shallow,
dishonorable culture.
Act_25:16 CAB …'It is not a custom with
Romans to deliver any man to destruction before [“πρὶν” same word as in Pro_18:13 LXX] the one
being accused may meet his accusers face to face, and may receive an opportunity for defense* concerning the charge.'
[Hyperlink: Sir_11:6-8 KJVA
...understand first, and then rebuke.
8 Answer not before thou hast
heard the cause: neither interrupt men in the midst of their talk.]
[* “ἀπολογίας” – lit.
speak a word upon (same root word as in Pro_18:13 LXX)]
Also Compare Cases Like When they ‘motioned with their hand’
Lost people knew how to let other people speak as
seen in the following examples:
Act_12:17; Act_13:16; Act_19:33; Act_21:40; and also Act_7:2 (Only
slightly related: Luk_1:22;
Joh_13:24)
There was an expectation (both with the lost as well as with early
Christians) that the speaker had an exclusive right to speak in cases as when
they ‘motioned with their hand’; Notice that interrupting only happened in
these cases when their sin and impatience got the best of them; Every single
time interrupting happened and they violated the speakers speech like this in
the Bible it was always evil!:
Act_7:57 - Jews interrupted
Steven, and then killed him
Act_19:33-34 - Pagans
interrupted (Jewish) Alexander after temporarily pretending that they would
listen
Act_22:22 - Jews
interrupted Paul when he mentioned the salvation of the nations
We should take sober heed from these things and learn to be quiet when
someone’s time to speak is ‘at hand.’
1Co_14:9, 1Co_14:26-27, 1Co_14:29-33, 1Co_14:37-40 CAB So also you, if
you do not give a clear word by the tongue, how will it be known
what is being spoken? For you will be speaking into the air…
[notice: one of the goals here is to
intentionally prioritize communication and clarity when speaking] 1Co_14:26 What is it then,
brothers? Whenever you come together, each of you has a song, has a teaching,
has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation.
[i.e. everyone has something spiritual and
useful to say]
Let all things be done for edification. 1Co_14:27
If anyone speaks in an unknown
tongue, let it be by two or at
the most three, each in turn, and let one
interpret… 1Co_14:29 Let two or three
prophets speak, and let others discriminate. 1Co_14:30 But if something
is revealed to another who sits by, let the first be silent.
[i.e. no talking at the same time] 1Co_14:31
For you can all prophesy one
by one, [i.e. one at a
time] that all
may learn and all may be encouraged. 1Co_14:32 And the spirits of
the prophets are subject to the prophets. 1Co_14:33 For God is not the author of confusion but
of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
1Co_14:34
let your women be silent in the churches… 1Co_14:37 If anyone thinks
that he is a prophet, or is
spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I am writing to you are the
commandments of the Lord.
1Co_14:38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant. [Greek grammar:
Present, Active, Imperative Verb; Third Person, Singular – evidently meaning:
You are commanded to ignore them] 1Co_14:39 Therefore, brothers, seek to prophesy, and do not
forbid to speak in tongues. 1Co_14:40 Let all things be done properly and according to order.
Considerations
·
These
instructions on how to run an assembly are consistent with the “Community Rule”
of the Qumran Community (as seen
previously, which was written before the NT); The fact that the Bible
correlates with the ideals of the Qumran Community in this case is not
surprising, because this actually
happens quite frequently with the New Testament and the Dead Sea Scrolls in
general (not to mention parallels with zealous movements within Judaism as a
whole)
>> link
to DSS
·
It also goes
without saying that this is consistent with Sirach and Proverbs (as seen
previously)
·
We are only
supposed to speak for other people’s best interest (i.e. “edification,” v. 1Co_14:26)
·
‘Orderly
talk’ (v. 1Co_14:40)
means that one person talks at a time (1Co_14:27, 1Co_14:29-31)
·
We see that
people are to take turns talking, not to all talk at the same time (even though
they generally all have something good to bring to the assembly, as seen in v. 1Co_14:26, 1Co_14:31)
·
Whenever it
is needed for someone else to start talking, the first person is supposed to
stop first so the other can talk without confusion (i.e. we might say: no rude
and fleshly filibustering when we are trying to get spiritual things here)
>> link
to filibustering
·
We are to
prophesy one by one practicing self control not to
talk out of turn (v. 1Co_14:31-32)
·
If this is
how prophecy should be bridled, how much more should this apply to the other
worthless and natural things that we usually go about speaking for our own
gratification and self-expression? Do we act righteously when we feel more free to express ourselves in vain talk than Paul
permits real Prophets to express the oracles of God?
·
If we do not
do as this Scripture commands us, then the Bible calls this “confusion” (v. 1Co_14:33)
·
“all things”
(v. 1Co_14:26,
1Co_14:40)
to be done by “all” people (v. 1Co_14:31)
among “all the assemblies” (v. 1Co_14:33-34)
are to “be done” (v. 1Co_14:26,
1Co_14:40)
this way, putting a premium priority on doing it “properly and according to
order” (v. 1Co_14:40,
1Co_14:26-27,
1Co_14:29-34)
·
Order is more important than legitimacy: We see that if
women are forbidden to give Divine oracles (from God) in the assembly for the
sake of propriety and order, we see certainly that God has placed a profoundly
greater weight and priority on being proper and in order than even having
legitimate Words from God spoken by women – God here shows us that it is more
pleasing to Him to have men potentially speaking false prophecies (v. 1Co_14:29), than to
have things out of order and have the shame of women speaking in assembly. (For
more, please see the Bible study entitled “Women in Assembly”)

The question
is not whether or not we have something good or important to say, but the
question is if we Love God enough to reverence and obey Him in the way He has
ordered us to talk with each other
Act_21:40 CAB And… Paul stood on the stairs and motioned with his hand to
the people. And when there was a great silence, he
addressed them…
Note: if we
also see that women are to be silent during teaching in general, then they
could never interrupt
The Summarized Story of Nabal
and David
This is a
summary of the story in 1Sa_25:1-42
1Sa_25:1-3 CAB …And David arose, and went down to
the Wilderness of Maon. 2 And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and he was a very great man; and he had three
thousand sheep, and a thousand female goats. And he happened to be shearing his
flock in Carmel. 3 And the man's name was Nabal… But the man was harsh, and evil
in his doings, and the man was foolish.
[Note the three
crimes listed]
1Sa_25:4-10 -
David protects Nabal’s shepherds and flocks (also see 1Sa_25:14-16), kindly blesses him, and asks for
whatever convenient help he could give
1Sa_25:9-10
CAB So the servants came and spoke these words to Nabal, according to
all these words in the name of David. 10 And
Nabal sprang up, and answered the
servants of David, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse?...
1Sa_25:10-13
- Nabal proceeds to insult David and deny giving any help, and David determines
to kill all the men of Nabal’s house hold because of this.
The
servants went to Nabal’s wife Abigail and said…
1Sa_25:17 CAB And now
consider what you will do; for mischief is determined against our lord [i.e. Nabal]
and against his house; and he is a vile character, and one cannot
speak to him.
But David
listened when Abigail Spoke to him
1Sa_25:23-25 CAB And Abigail saw David, and she
dismounted quickly from her donkey; and she fell before David on her face, and
bowed down to him, bowing to the ground,
24 even to his feet, and said, On
me, my lord, be my wrong. Let your servant speak in your ears, and hear the
words of your servant. 25 Let not my lord
take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he — Nabal
is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the
servants of my lord whom you sent.
Things to
Note from the Story of Nabal
·
Nabal
exploited his exalted state to insult David (verses 1Sa_25:2, 1Sa_25:36, 1Sa_25:10-13)
·
Their fear
impending “Mischief” implies that bad will happen to them on account of
something wrong that has been done against righteousness
·
This
impending evil, or “wrath,” pertains to Nabal’s “vile character” (sinful,
perverted, habitual life style)
·
One of the
primary characteristics of this “vile character” is that “one cannot
speak to him”
·
We can almost
cringe when we see a colorful description of ‘not being able to speak to him’
in the words, “And Nabal sprang up,
and answered…” (verse 1Sa_25:9-10)
·
So we see
that an important part of being “harsh…evil…and…foolish” is described in this
story as one who quickly, rashly and harshly answers people. The conclusion
about such a wicked and perverted response is that, although a person may try
to say words to someone like Nabal, when all is said and done “one cannot [truly]
speak to him”
·
Can people
truly speak to you, or are you like Nabal?
But one may hear
these things and rise up in their chair and protest and say, “but I am not like
that when I interrupt people!” – But even if we find excuses to claim that we
are not like the character of this story, even though we continue to interrupt
people, the Bible has already convicted us as wicked sinners in the verses we
already covered in the beginning of this section. But on the contrary: we must
make it of our highest aim to be people who can be talked to,
who actually hear people out before responding, unlike the un-listening, rashly
responding Nabal of folly. If nothing else, we should find from this story some
potent parallels that wise people who actually love Jesus will use to take heed
so as to not be foolish and interrupt, lest they become like Nabal in the end.
We ought not to bear false testimony of ourselves to justify our
crimes of
Other dates (~2010+); 10/25/16
Filibustering is
when you go on talking so that no one else can ever get a word in. This is certainly
a condemnable sin for many reasons covered in this Bible study, especially
because it is based on the love to talk to begin with. If we repent of
interrupting, we should also repent of loving to monolog, and rudely crowd
others out of getting a chance to comment. Filibustering is a partner with
interrupting, because both of these filthy and perverted indulgences despise
and disrespect the other person, and hold their words in contempt so that the
filibuster can have a monopoly on indulging in their own lust of talking.
As this entire study shows, you are to not
like talking to begin with, and then beyond this, we already saw that you are
actually supposed to willingly stop and let others speak, especially when God
gives them things:
1Co_14:30 But if something is revealed to another who sits by, let the first be silent.
To further
establish this we could almost simply reference this entire Bible study, but
here are a few verses in particular:
Ecc_10:13-14 CAB The beginning of the words of his
mouth is folly, and the end of his talk mischievous madness. 14 A fool moreover multiplies words…
Ecc_5:1 WEB Guard your steps when you go to God's
house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of
fools, for they don't know that they do evil.
Ecc_5:1 LB Fear God. Keep Your
Vows Keep your foot, whenever you go to the house of God; and when you are near
to hear, let your sacrifice be better than the gift of fools; for they do not
know they are doing evil.
Ecc_5:1
(4:17) Φύλαξον πόδα
σου, ἐν ᾧ ἐὰν
πορεύῃ εἰς οἶκον
τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἐγγὺς
τοῦ ἀκούειν· ὑπὲρ

θυσία σου, ὅτι οὔκ

Ecc_5:2 WEB Don't be rash with your mouth, and
don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in
heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be
few.
Ecc_5:2
Do not be hasty with your mouth, and do not let your heart be swift to utter
anything before God; for God is in heaven above, and you are on earth;
therefore let your words be few.
Ecc_5:2 (5:1)

into sin. Don't protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why
should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
Ecc_5:6 WEB Do not allow your mouth to lead your
flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error; lest God be
angry at your voice, and destroy the works of your hands.

Compare: Embrace Dialogue
Please also consider that God prizes dialog as we briefly
cover in the companion Bible study, “Embrace Dialogue.” Unreasoning perverts do
not care about dialog but are simply content to monolog without ever caring
what the victim thinks about their own wickedness. People who practice this are
clearly not Christians according to these solid Scriptures. This pervert will
talk to no end and never love truth and wisdom enough to investigate the other
person to see where they are at before foolishly proceeding with their speech.
Repent of Being Self-Appointed
Kings
So often in our
culture, we sit as self-exalted Kings with remote controls as our scepters: Not
only do we flip channels at our own rule and whim, but also we interrupt people
who are right before us as soon as our impatience and lust of fast
entertainment condemns their slow paced words. With our self-appointed majesty
and sovereignty over everyone we listen to, we think we have the right to mute
their unhurried words into being unheard.
If this is us, we
need to hear some painful sarcasm from Paul and be rebuked:
1Co_4:8-13 WEB You are already filled. You have
already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that
you did reign, that we also might reign with you. 9 For, I think that God has displayed
us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a
spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. 10 We
are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you
are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor. 11
Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and
have no certain dwelling place. 12 We
toil, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless. Being persecuted, we
endure. 13 Being defamed, we entreat [παρακαλουμεν – i.e. fig. we softly
speak to those who are defaming us]. We are made as the
filth of the world… wiped off by all, even until now.
Asserting your own
primacy to interrupt another is not being “last of all,
like men sentenced to death” it is like ‘reigning as kings’ over others.
“Entreating” is a soft position, not a hard
one that interrupts. Look at the speaking posture of the Apostles: They were
the greatest among us, yet there are no rights to interrupt others in these
humiliated and self-abasing words, but we see a holy and kind rebuke to those
who have indulged and tried to reign in this life, as though the Kingdom of
Jesus would allow us to be self-exalted over other people, and be accepted in
His Kingdom at the same time. We really reign in spirit (1Co_4:8 b)
in Jesus’ Kingdom when we are humble and abased like Paul.
Motioned
with his hand
Paul steven
and Peter spoke along the lines of "motioning with their hand"
the only time that this was violated is when wicked,
sinful, murderous people lost their patience and violated their own rules and
honor and were no longer willing to hear.
Will we come clean of such wicked sin and repent of interrupting,
or will we be content to share the hearts of wicked unrepentant stubborn fools
who sinned against the righteous by interrupting them breaking their honor.
--
Notice wether it is Paul
speaking to a large group or Peter speaking to a small group at a prayer
meeting, when they were ready to speak they motioned with their hand and the
others were expected to keep silent and listen.
Hold Your Peace!
How many times did Jesus and others ‘Hold His
Peace’?
Do not blame God when you disobey the Bible. In this very context
women are commanded to be silent.
A Summary Against Interrupting
Whether it is one on one, (as with Proverbs, Sirach, or even Nabal
against David’s messengers) or it is in an assembly (as with 1Co_14,
Nicodemus and the Pharisees, Roman Law, and people who motioned with their
hand) it is a common virtue throughout the entire Bible and even Biblical
culture (as with the Qumran Community
Rule) to not interrupt. Whether it is in Steven’s martyrdom, the pagan
persecution against Alexander, or the Jewish persecution against Paul,
interrupting is always described as a sin done by the overflow of extremely
wicked people in the Bible.
Interrupting, quickly answering, and
speaking before actually hearing has always been a characteristic of perverted
fools and shallow and shameful societies that hate God. Whenever culture degrades to immodesty and
impiety to the greatest degrees, interrupting will abound. But if any culture
pursues more honorable things, even the lost among them will acknowledge that
interrupting is a dishonorable, cheap and wicked shame to practice. We can not
only see this being explicitly taught in the Scriptures, but even accepted by
the lost pagans of a more honorable day, which is all but gone in the fading
honor of a forgotten time of the past, now having been overshadowed by the
indulgence of modernity, and the pride and boasting of shamefulness in our age,
and love of our own foolish and dirty words, even to the dishonoring of other
people through the impulsive and reckless practice of interrupting.
Now having been shocked by a forgotten
truth which was once a common standard, will we repent of our inferior “new”
culture and obey the Bible to actually value words enough to let each speak,
one person at a time, or will we dishonor each other with the continual
self-exaltation and competition of interrupting with our own transgressing
words of vanity, disorder and irrational confusion? Let us tremble at the
commandment and do it zealously lest we receive the eternal wages of those who
sin by loving to speak.

When To Interrupt
1/16/16-1/17/16
Comp.: Hearing Comprehension
To Obey
is Greater Than Being Allowed to Speak
We do not typically interrupt unless it is for things like
disciplinarian purposes
Example:
If I say that something is complicated and we are not going to go
over it right now, and someone proceeds to go over complicated aspects that can
wait, then it is more important to enforce obedience to what was said then it
is to protect the sanctity of someone's value of not being interrupted.
A material breach of obedience is not protected by sanctions
against interruptions.
It is a moral issue and virtue requirement to have hearing
comprehension and obey charges given by authority.
A Mouth That Will
Not Receive Ministry
Other dates;
1/17/16
This is a Bible study that speaks to our ritch indulgent self-confident culture:
if a man will be saved from sin it is required that
he be found humble and broken, vulnerable and reverent to all the dictates of
truth to which he must choose to be attracted, captivated, overwhelmed and
amazed by. It is not proper that a woman act like a man, nor is it right for
those who are in the process of being saved to lead themselves out and
circumvent their life guard. Life gurds are taught
that if a drowning person panics and dominates their situation that you often
have to let them drown before you can save them let you both be pulled under by
the compulsion and lack of souness and self control in the victem.
We ought to instead be wise, humble and reverent, because the Kingdom
is not for the rash, the foolish, the self confident,
the unsubmitted, the fearful, but for the humble and submitted.Only pour people Get into God's kingdom.
But the indulgent, independant
(i.e. Unsubmitted) the confident, the sufficient,
those who are affirmed in their abilities, those who are confident because of
their knoledge, those who have not demoted themselve because of their own faults, those who are not
eager to recieve help in truth those who are quick
and impulsive without restraining themselves to hear trujth,
those who speak more than they hear, those who dominate their own perdicament
All of these do not amke
it in the end. Why is it that Jesus commands us to be
like children and we never take Him seriously? Why is it we always find
ourselves confident and dominating like the eldest when Jesus said we needed to
be as the younges. Why do we always act like those who rule among the nations
when Jesus said we had to be the opposite?
A fool bites the hand that feeds him, but one who hs been reasonably trained by God even honors the lowly vessle he is fed with from God's hand.
It is not fitting and becoming of one who is in need
to inerupt the surgen who
works on him. It is not sane and sound for a drounding
person to panic and hurt and pull under the life gaurd
who comes to pull him out.It is not right for wiksdom and truth to be set asside
for convenience. It is not reasonable for beggers to
be choosers. It is not right for those in need to dictate how their needs must
be met.
Humility will save everyone who honors her because
she pring 100 % of those who Love and endure with her
to Jesus and Hos kingdom.
Being vulnerable to truth we will have no danger at
all concerning the wolves. Having trusted God first, we will naturally trust
His ambasitors. Having reverently listened to God, it
is absolutly certain that we will also listen to His ambasitors in the same way, because we must find Jesus'
Words true:
He who recieves you recieves me
Truth is not found by a fool who leads himself, but
by one who has become embarased over his own leadings
and repents to actually follow Jesus in truth, with out
the hypocracy of despising the weak flesh wrappe around the
instrament chosen to guide him.
I can prove how Truly
reverent a person is toward God in their prayer closet by how they treat God in
public when He is represented in "the least of these" His brothers.
A person's loyalty to Jesus' authority is not as
much tested when they are praying by themselves as when they are responding to
His representatives on earth. E really know that Jesus is Lord over a person's life when they honor
and reverence His mesengers.
If we are 100% given to God then we must prove it by
being ealous to honor His truth 100% of the time.
Seeing the weakness in the flesh in others is an
easy cheapshot to take against God. We ought not to
be found taking it if we will live.

This exclusivity also includes what
Jesus does as well as what He says:
See John Summaries: John 5; John 7; John 14
It is interesting that whenever satan
sends someone they are free to speak all they want and promote and glorify
themselves without restraint, because satan is
glorified in the selfish and prideful exaltation of the flesh. But whenever
Jesus sends people they always have to live a crucified life of humiliation and
subjection in their glorious faith. They are truly slaves of righteousness,
because they are not free to go on opening their mouth at their own pleasure.
They like what is right, not what is convenient. They like what is true, not what
they have to say. They live according to what is obedient and true, not to what
is indulgent and self-promoting. They keep their mouth closed until the right
time, whereas pagans have no such restrictions:
Joh_7:6 CAB Then Jesus said to them, "My time
has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Paganism makes no distinctions of cleanliness for holiness sake, therefore, pagans can always talk. It takes a real
Christian to actually keep quiet in observance of holiness.

Don’t Be A Presumptuous “Prophet”
Don’t assume you are hearing from God
Jer_23:25-40 CAB I have heard what the prophets
say, what they prophesy in My name, saying falsely, I have seen a night vision. 26 How long shall these things be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy
lies, when they prophesy the purposes of their own heart? 27 Who devise that men may forget My law by their dreams, which they have told
everyone to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My name in the worship of Baal. 28 The
prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; and he in whom is My word spoken
to him, let him tell My word truly. What is the chaff to the wheat? So are My
words, says the Lord.
29 Behold, are not My
words as fire? Says the Lord; and as an axe cutting the rock? 30
Behold, I am therefore against the prophets, says the Lord God, that
steal My words everyone from his neighbor. 31
Behold, I am against the prophets that put forth prophecies of mere
words, and slumber their sleep. 32
Therefore behold, I am against the prophets that prophesy false
dreams, and have not told them truly,
and have caused My people to err by their lies, and by their errors; yet I sent
them not, and commanded them not. Therefore, they shall not profit this people
at all. 33 And if this people, or the priest, or
the prophet, should ask, What is the burden of the Lord? Then you shall say to
them, You are the burden, and I will dash you down, says the Lord. 34 As for
the prophet and the priests and the people, who shall say, The burden of the
Lord, I will even take vengeance on that man, and on his house. 35 Thus shall you say everyone to his
neighbor, and everyone to his brother, What has the Lord answered? And, what
has the Lord said? 36 And the burden of the Lord you shall mention
no more; for his own word shall be a man's
burden. 37 But what, you
say, has the Lord our God spoken? 38
Therefore thus says the Lord our God: Because you have spoken this word,
The burden of the Lord, and I sent to you, saying, you shall not say, The burden of the Lord; 39
therefore behold, I will
seize and dash you down and the city which I gave to you and your fathers. 40 And I will bring upon you an
everlasting reproach, and everlasting disgrace, which shall not be forgotten.

Speaking Independently is Like Fornication
The devil’s tactic is to get you to think speak and operate independently from God. We do this when
we speak our own words and don’t wait for God’s.
Speaking much is comparable to fornicating with many partners. You’re
only supposed to be with one person for life, and spiritually, you’re only
supposed to speak God’s Words, and those things beyond these boundaries are
lawlessness.
Big Point
I have
found that quite often the people that get tempted the most to speak
independently and naturally are also the same people who minimize our ability
to hear from God! Imagine that… Now why would that be?
We get
used to speaking our own words and love operating this way, and we do this and
then want to turn around and sabotage the Biblical teaching so that we say that
we can’t even hear God’s Words in the first place!
Don’t
cast scorn on our ability to obey the Bible and hear God’s voice simply because
you are complacently comfortable with violating holiness with your own mouth
and your own words.
Compare:
“Only Divine Words” and
“Jesus Only Does and Says what He Sees from The
Father”
In the end, claiming that we cannot hear
God’s Words in order to justify our complacent and natural, fleshly lifestyle
is basically the same type of sin that Pentecostals usually use as a basis to
tag God’s name on to their own words.
Although the Pentecostal sin is far worse,
both of these attitudes attempt to make room for living a life where they get
to do what their own heart wants to do, and speak the words that readily come
from their own heart.
James Chapter One
Jas_1:19-27 CAB So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be quick to
hear, slow to speak*, slow to anger; [* Sir_5:11; See: Apocrypha_Defense.rtf – rough personal notes] 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the
righteousness of God. 21 Therefore laying
aside all filthiness and abundance of evil, in meekness receive the implanted
word, which is able to save your souls. 22
But become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and
not a doer, this one is like a
man observing his natural face in a mirror;
24 for he observed himself and
has gone away, and immediately forgot what sort of man he was. 25 But the one
who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a
doer of the work, this one shall be blessed in what he does. 26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious,
and does not bridle his tongue but deceiving
his heart, the religion of this man
is useless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God
and the Father is this: to care
for orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from
the world.
Jas_3:1-15 CAB
My brothers, let not many become teachers, knowing that we shall receive
greater judgment.
2 For we all stumble in
many ways. If anyone does not
stumble in word, he is a mature man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3
Consider that we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and
we guide their whole body.
4 Consider also the ships:
although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a
very small rudder wherever the impulse of the pilot desires. 5 Even
so the tongue is a small member and it boasts great things. See how great a
forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a
fire, a world of iniquity. Thus the tongue is set among our members, as that
which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is
set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of both beasts and birds, of
both reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unrestrainable evil, full of
deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with
it we curse men, who are created according to the
likeness of God.
10 Out of the same mouth
come blessings and curses. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 11 The
spring does not pour forth from the same opening both the sweet and the bitter water, does it? 12 It
is not possible, my brothers, for
a fig tree to make olives, or a vine to make
figs, is it? Thus no spring is
able to produce both salt and
sweet water. 13 Is there anyone wise and understanding among you?
Let him show by his good conduct that
his works are in meekness of wisdom.
14 But if
you have bitter jealousy and strife in your heart, do not boast and lie against
the truth. 15 This wisdom
is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
(Also, don't swear: Jas_5:12)
How do you know when you are speaking with the
wrong Confidence?
Mat_12:36-37 WEB I tell you that every idle [αργονG692] word that men
speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you
will be condemned."

you, yet does not bridle

>> Add: they are blind guides, leave
them alone
Psa_39:1-9 CAB ...I said, I will take heed to my
ways, that I sin not with my tongue;
I set a guard [KJV: “bridle”] on my mouth, while the sinner [KJV: “wicked”]
stood in my presence. 2 I was dumb,
and humbled myself, and kept
silence from good words; and my
grief was renewed. 3 My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would
kindle in my meditation; I spoke with my tongue, 4 O
Lord [that is, not
around the sinner], make me to know my end, and the number
of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack. 5 Behold, You have made my days old; and
my existence is as nothing before
You; indeed, every man living is
altogether vanity. Pause. 6 Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is
disquieted in vain; he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall
gather them. 7 And now what is my expectation? Is it not the Lord? And my ground of hope is with You.
Pause. 8
Deliver me from all my transgressions; You have made me a reproach to
the foolish. 9 I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for You
are He that made me.

after the first and second admonition [νουθεσίαν], 11
knowing [εἰδὼς
– perceiving] that such a person has been perverted and is
sinning, being self-condemned.
Pro_14:5-8 KJV
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. 6 A scorner seeketh
wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. 7 Go from the presence of a
foolish man [But See LXX!], when thou perceivest
not in him the lips of knowledge. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of
fools is deceit.
Pro_14:6-8 CAB You shall seek wisdom with bad
men, and shall not find it, but discretion is easily available with the prudent. 7 All things are adverse to a foolish man, but
wise lips are the weapons of discretion. 8 The
wisdom of the prudent will understand their ways, but the folly of fools leads
astray.
For more on how and why ‘we must
not talk to perverted fools,’ compare the Bible study entitled, “Embrace
Dialogue” (an unfinished work).
Psa_34:12-13
CAB What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days? 13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your
lips from speaking guile.
(Mostly like the
MT; the Greek here is quoted almost exatly by 1Pe_3:10-11)
Psa_34:12-13
MKJV Who is the man that desires life, and loves days, that he may
see good? 13 Keep your tongue from evil and your
lips from speaking guile.
The
Multitude of Words Means Sin
This is a promise!
Pro_10:19-21
CAB By a multitude of words you shall not escape sin, but if you refrain your
lips you will be prudent.
20 The tongue of the just
is choice silver, but the heart of the ungodly shall fail. 21 The
lips of the righteous know sublime truths,
but the foolish die in want.
Pro_10:19-21 KJV In the
multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that
refraineth his lips is
wise. 20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the
wicked is little worth. 21 The lips of the righteous feed many:
but fools die for want of wisdom.
Pro_13:3-5 CAB He
that keeps his own mouth keeps his own life [τὴν
ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν: his own soul; Heb. means
“soul” as well; see H5315], but he that is hasty with his
lips shall bring terror upon himself.
4 Every slothful man desires, but
the hands of the active are diligent. 5 A
righteous man hates an unjust word, but an ungodly man is ashamed, and will
have no confidence*.
Pro_13:3-5 KJV He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his
life [Heb. means “soul” as well; see H5315]: but
he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. 4 The soul of the sluggard desireth,
and hath nothing: but the soul of
the diligent shall be made fat. 5 A
righteous man hateth
lying: but a wicked man is
loathsome, and cometh to shame.
[* “no confidence”
CAB - this is a reverse of the original case: Pro_27:12
(quoted previously)]
So
in the end the result is:
Pro_14:26
CAB In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence...
Pro_15:28 CAB The hearts of the righteous meditate
faithfulness, but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things...
Pro_15:28 MKJV
The heart of the righteous studies to answer, but the mouth of
the wicked pours out evil things.
Pro_17:27-28 CAB He that forbears to utter a hard
word is discreet, and a patient man is wise.
28 Wisdom
shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom, and he who holds his peace
shall seem to be sensible.
Pro_17:27-28 LITV He who
restrains his words knows knowledge, and one
cool of spirit is a man of
understanding. 28 Even a fool who is silent is counted wise, he who shuts
his lips is counted as discerning.
Pro_21:23
CAB He that keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from trouble.
(Much like MT)
Ecc_5:2-3
CAB Be not hasty with your mouth, and let not your heart be swift to utter
anything before God; for God is in heaven above, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be
few. 3 For through the multitude of trial a
dream comes; and a fool's voice is with a multitude of words.
Ecc_5:2-3
LITV Do not be
hasty with your mouth, and do not
let your heart hurry to bring forth a word before God. For God is in Heaven, and you are on earth; on account of this, let your
words be few. 3 For the dream comes through the
greatness of the task; and the voice of the fool is known by the many words.
Isa_35:8 CAB There shall
be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not
pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way;
but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.
Isa_35:8 KJV And an highway shall be there, and a
way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass
over it; but it shall be for
those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

I think this is not in accord with the LXX:
“A fool has no
delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own
opinion,” (Pro_18:2 WEB) [or “uncovering his heart” (LITV)].
And again, “A fool utters all his mind…” (Pro_29:11 KJV).
In Job, it says of a young man named
Elihu,
2 …the wrath of Elihu… was kindled… and… 6 Elihu… answered… “10 …I said, 'Listen to me; I also
will show my opinion.'… 17 I also will answer my part, And I also
will show my opinion. 18 For I am
full of words. The spirit within me constrains
me. (Job_32:1-18 WEB)
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. 20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed:
I will open my lips and answer. (Job_32:19-20 KJV)
Many reading about Elihu have forgotten
that it also says, “A fool also
is full of words…” (Ecc_10:14 KJV).
Stopped
Mouths:
The law was given “…that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be
brought under the judgment of God” [Rom_3:19 ASV].
For the overseer must
be… able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict
him. 10 For there are also many unruly men, vain
talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11
whose mouths must be stopped; men who
overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest
gain's sake, [Tit_1:7-11 WEB].

Wis_1:6-11 Brenton For wisdom
is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is
witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his
tongue. 7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth
all things hath knowledge of the voice. 8
Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things
cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth,
pass by him. 9 For inquisition shall be made into the
counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord
for the manifestation of his wicked deeds. 10
For the ear of jealousy heareth all things:
and the noise of murmurings is not hid. 11
Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain
your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth
slayeth the soul.

Ecc_12:9-12 CAB And
because the Preacher was wise above others,
so it was that he taught men excellent knowledge, and the ear will
trace out the parables.
10 The Preacher sought
diligently to find out acceptable words, and a correct writing, even words of truth. 11
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails firmly fastened, which
have been given from one shepherd by agreement. 12 And
moreover, my son, guard yourself by means of them; of making many books there
is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

I have repented from just

Why I Write
Slow
The Moral and practical
reasons why I cannot answer many questions in writting
(1) There is a practical
aspect of writing which limits me more than most people, which is the fact that
by default I tend to work in slow gear. I am not a naturally fast thinker, and i am even slower when it comes to additing
the p[rocess of writting to this!
While some people can think
quickly and ephiciently transfer it to writing, I do
not have that privilage by default. I hope you will be understanding if i cannot
answer so many question in writing because of this.
The great irony is that I have
run into this issue for all my life, and the best way to finally answer this
for everyone who asks is it, well, write it all out! Do you realize how much it
takes me just to explain why it takes so much to write things out?
(2) But much more important
than my personal limitations, there is a moral picture that is constantly
violated in the current world of writing
How do you know when you are speaking the right
Words?

Pro_8:6-8 CAB

hateful to God.
Pro_18:20-21 CAB A man fills his belly with the

lips. 21 Life and death are in the power of the

18 Why
do they that grieve me prevail against me? My wound is severe; when shall I be
healed? It has indeed become to me as deceitful water that has no faithfulness. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord: If you
will return, then will I restore you, and you shall stand before My face. And
if you will bring forth the precious from the worthless, you shall be
as My mouth; and they shall return to you; but you shall not return
to them. 20 And I will make you to this people as a
strong bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall by no
means prevail against you.
21 For I am with you, to
save you, and to deliver you out of the hand of wicked men; and I will ransom you out of the hand
of pestilent men.

15 The ways of fools are

Some wound as they speak, like swords, but the tongues of the wise

We know
we have the wrong confidence when we cannot stop speaking when we are supposed
to.
If the same
talking can make you sin when you are not supposed to be talking, it is not at
all clean when you seem to be talking about good things.
The true
test of a prophet is not when a person can speak, but when they can finally shut
their mouth:
When
confronted by a false prophet, notice what Jeremiah did initially when he was
contradicted:
Jer_28:11-12 CAB And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying,
Thus said the Lord: Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the
necks of all the nations. And Jeremiah went his way. 12 And the word of the Lord came to
Jeremiah, after Hananiah had broken the yokes off his
neck…
It is
about time in history where people stopped assuming that they should always
have an answer and something (perverted) to say, and started being like the
real prophets in the Bible who took pleasure in the cleanness of quietness. If
there is never waiting in you “hearing god” then you are not “Hearing God”:
Joh_8:6 CAB But this they said, testing Him, that
they might have an accusation against Him. But Jesus, stooping down, began to
write on the ground with His finger, not taking notice.
Why is
this so? We must repent and come to terms with a very basic principal about
being a real prophet in Jesus kingdom:
1Co_14:32 CAB And the
spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
If a person cannot
shut their mouth, we can be absolutely sure that they are not a prophet since
their ‘spirit is not subject to them.’ They may indeed be the prophets of Baal
in their pagan lack of self-control, but all of the real prophets in Jesus’
kingdom are able to subject their own soul, take up their cross, and WAIT for
whenever God would have them speak.
It is a great and
glorious day in history when we can finally find a person on earth who is
actually a real Christian, and has gotten a hold of true spiritual things, but
every fool can open their mouth to defile others with their pagan spirituality!

Lev_15:1-33 – See: where this is covered else
ware
We are not allowed to joke around about the
shame of sexuality because sexual shame comes from sin and the murder of the
human race.
If you joke about shame, then you rejoice in
the sin that created it, and you laugh in the face of God’s bitter anger and
immeasurably deeply wounded parable.
Take sexuality and its holiness and its
potential shame very seriously, because these threats of degradation and
devaluing and shame are the sin and death of the entire human race for hating
God -- you will perish if you rejoice in the death and shame of sexuality which
God so bitterly afflicted and cursed on account of sin.
If you are not in a life posture of treating
sexuality like God does, you will certainly perish and be destroyed and hated
for worshiping sin.
Only after sexuality has been thoroughly
sanctified and holyified can you rejoice in its
blissful abundance.
Compare: Toit
Rich harlot cultures think they are soooo free and joke around, and be lose,
and they think they have God’s favor though they hate the shadow of His most
sensitive Love.
Scripture shows us how profoundly sin has
tainted sexuality
We are not allowed to make jokes about this
serious curse of sexual life -- the shame that is there is a damage of the
original holiness of sexuality that God made in the garden. Especially if you
intentionally mock this shame which God bitterly hates, you will also be
bitterly hted and destroyed for shaming his holy
parable by rejoicing in its destruction by sin.

> childing... when
is it right to reduce adults to children, when God generally demands that you

Big Boundary 1: You should laugh and mock foolishness & even foolish
people in a way that helps other people avoid repeating their evil error. -- that is bearing good fruit.
Big Boundary 2: don't let your laughter of foolishness include making The "fool" a type of "hero". the innocent and clean goal is to laugh and mock evil so as
to discourage yourself and others from believing fooly.
Sin very quickly happens when you actually delight in the error and take
pleasure in it and cherish foolishness for the empty callaries
of entertainment rather than learning truth.
This same sin goes back even to the times when kings had royal/official
"fools" and "jokers" dressed up as cloans
to entertain the royal court.

have movies like "dumb and dummer" with two

examples, they might Make "cuter" fools the heros of certain movies, but all these foolishnesses
are the folly you get to rejoice in when you laugh at your delightful heros for chearing you up with
folly.
if you used to watch movies, you can probably think
of other examples of "funny movies" were the hero made you laugh and
enjoy his error.
now it is time to set a boundary and not look back.

your mouths, but only what is
helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit
those who listen. [30] And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you
were sealed for the day of redemption.
...
-Now
in the same thought... :
EPH_5:3 But among
you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of
impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. [4] Nor
should there be obscenity, foolish talk or
coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
[5] For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man
is an idolater--has any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God. [6] Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are
disobedient.
-Says
don’t live like the heathen i.e. unsaved as seen here
-Hope
your saved, but I know many who have been lost because
of coarse joking
...
EPH_5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the
Lord. Live as children of light [9] (for the fruit of the light consists in all
goodness, righteousness and truth) [10] and find out what pleases the Lord. [11] Have nothing to
do with the fruitless deeds
of darkness, but rather expose them. [12] For it is shameful even to mention what the
disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
[14] for it is light that makes everything visible.

1PE_4:7 The end of all
things is near. Therefore be clear minded and
self-controlled so that you can pray.
-Now
is BIBLE against any joking/ Laughter?
-No:
GE 21:6 Sarah said, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this
will laugh with me." [7] And she added, "Who would have said to
Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old
age."
-But
notice who gives the laughter: “GOD”
Also:
PS 126:2 Our mouths
were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
-Not
carnal laughter, but a form of witnessing
“Legalism”?:
ECC_2:1 I thought in my heart, "Come now, I
will test you with pleasure to find out what is good." But that also
proved to be meaningless. [2] "Laughter,"
I said, "is foolish. And what does pleasure accomplish?" [3] I tried
cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly--my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was
worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.
-(Solomon had
fallen away)
===================================
Others just incase:
ECC_7:3 Sorrow
is better than laughter,
because a sad face is good for the heart.
ECC_7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
ECC_7:5 It is better to heed a wise man's rebuke
than to listen to the song of fools.
ECC_7:6 Like
the crackling of thorns under the pot,
so is the laughter of fools.
This too is meaningless.

Jokes Are Not Serious Enough to Change
9/26/04 (Typed in one sitting;
original title: Jokes, with Absolute Truth;
+Word: Created/Modified); 2/23/17 (recompiled; Retitled: Jokes Are
Not Serious Enough to Change)
We cannot joke about the bad habits that we
want to change, (weather in ourselves or in others).
To joke about a bad habit is to say that it
is not serious enough to change.
That which we make light of we are effectively choosing to keep.
Joking about bad habits is the world’s
strategy of indirect confrontation, and because it is not God’s way it does not
generally work.
What we make light of, we are not taking
seriously enough to get grid of.
It is a double-handed dealing. We wish for confrontation because of
necessity but fear the price of excepting [accepting] responsibility for it. It is a dishonest way of doing, and pretending we didn’t do. We attacked and then pretend it was only a
joke. By this we reveal faults without
necessitating change. God is different. Every time He reveals faults, it always
includes the reality and serious need for change.
We
handle bad habits this way because (like so many times) we are acting out of
our agitation instead of our God-given conviction. Our agitation compels us to vent the
problem unto no solution, where as a conviction of God
has the end of change. We know that venting produces no good thing and
so the cover it up by calling it “a joke”.
We give criticism without hope, but God’s standards always pave the way to freedom.
We
often shoot ourselves in the foot in that we genuinely want things different,
but unknowingly forfeit such change by taking on the wrong methodology.
In
establishing these things we must not altogether outlaw sarcasm. Though it is usually used for bad, there are
a number of God’s people who used it rightly, (such as Elijah and Paul).
Interestingly enough, we can make some contrast in that the effect of a
Godly sort of sarcasm is not levity, but instead a profound sense of
conviction. In this we see the difference
between God’s uses of sarcasm and our abuses of joking: in that God never
treats any amount of sin with lightness, even if these sins appear so small to us that they are deemed as “bad
habits”.
Our joking later produces vain streams
of gossip behind closed doors and this is not like God.
In
this we must mourn for our levity, as it says,
Let your laughter be turned
into morning
So that the scripture may be fulfilled in us
that says,
You [God] have put laughter in my mouth
We have songs that ‘we are trading our
sorrows,’ but it is high time that we trade in our levity for a better and
God-given sort of laughter in return.

person

Profaning the atmosphere

Wikipedia used to have a really helpful
article on this, but then they de-educated it to be more useless.
“Profanity (also called bad language,
swearing or cursing) is a subset of a language's lexicon that is considered
by some to be strongly impolite or offensive.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity
Accessed 5/12/13
This is mindless and de-educating in the most
religious degrees
Rom_3:10-18 CAB Just as it
is written: "There is none righteous, no not one, 11 There is none who understands; there is none
who seeks God. 12 All have turned aside;
together they became unprofitable; there is not one doing kindness,
there is not so much as one." 13
"Their throat is an opened grave; with their tongues they
deceived"; " the poison of asps is under their lips"; 14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness. 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 Ruin and misery are in their ways; 17 And the way of peace they did not know. 18
There is no fear of God before their eyes."
Jas_3:9-11
CAB With it we bless our God and Father,
and with it we curse men, who are created according to the likeness of God. 10 Out of the same mouth come blessings
and curses. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 11 The spring does not pour forth from
the same opening both the sweet and the bitter water, does it?
Confronting The Cursing Agenda of Antichrist
We are in an unheard of day when people hate Truth and goodness
so much that they are seeking along with the antichrist to introduce cursing as
a norm into the church.
“Complaining” they say, "or speaking
evil against someone is wrong, but if it is none of these then it is no
different than other words."
“Gratituitus cursing” or “Idiomatic,
Emphatic”
- Gratifies and evil seed to curse
- Claims its just words, as though
words are natural?!
- Acts like you are not going to give an account (Greek: a spoken
account) for every idle word we speak in this life
- the “Idiom” remains sinfully potent,
and that is why we still use it. If it did not defile, we would have no reason
to use it
·Cursing raises up in every culture
·All men are sinful, and in every culture they
lust after defilement
·All cursing is meant to pollute the
atmosphere
·There would be no strength or gratification
in doing it if it did not defile
·Profanity aims to make a holy or even normal
atmosphere profane
·Profanity is demonic: Demons take great
pleasure in trash
·Like a polluted well... righteous who gives
way before wicked
·When you are used to poop water you have a hard
time seeing that there is anything defiling about poop
Using Sexual defilement to profane is very telling and
self-evident:
You despise the sanctity of sexuality when you use it's
defilement to gratify yourself

over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl which are in the atmosphere of

"Tautologies excluded, nothing can be deduced

"Modern development
A lesson learned by mathematics in the last 150
years is that it is useful to strip the meaning away from the mathematical
assertions (axioms, postulates, propositions, theorems)
and definitions. One must concede the need
for primitive notions, or undefined terms or concepts, in any study.
Such abstraction or formalization makes mathematical knowledge more general,
capable of multiple different meanings, and therefore useful in multiple
contexts. Alessandro Padoa, Mario Pieri,
and Giuseppe Peano were pioneers in this
movement."

You can't always access the rationale of a person, so there are times
where you cannot enter into dialog because a person's rationale is not
accessible.
You can see from passages in the next section:
Biblical reasoning starts where people are at with basic facts and
standards that are agreed upon and then progresses into the matter at hand to
bring out the true conclusion.
If someone is an atheist, their rationale is inaccessible, and it is
impossible to enter into meaningful dialog. In these cases, don't
play games with people who care nothing for truth but only want to play with
other fools in meaningless and evil vain talk. Don’t play games with
people that are committed ahead of time to do nothing but glory in spewing
foolishness from their mouth.
In so many cases people don't want truth, but they simply want to take
cheap shots...

Note: This particular part of
the Bible study was originally designed for people who have forsaken everything
to obey all of Jesus’ commands, and are potentially facing persecution from it.
If someone asks questions and is truly curious, open, and hungry for
truth, they will ask and listen to pry answers out of you that they would
happily and seriously consider, while showing you gentleness and acknowledging
your integrity.
A “cheap shot situation” is
when a person interrogates you and pretends that they are asking for an answer,
but they deceptively present the questions in a way to not give you a chance to
properly respond. Interruptions and “short-changing” chances to explain your
answers are obvious giveaways of this.
Striking at various unrelated
targets and using “straw man arguments” are obvious giveaways that people do
not desire truth. When they direct attacks at your character instead of the
reasonableness of what you believe and represent before you have even been
permitted to state your stance or explanation, then you know they are playing
games, and you ought to abstain from such dishonesty “so that they may feel
ashamed” (see 2Th_3:14).
Many times we have to
foresee, as Jesus did, that we are in a “mock trial” and be sure that we do not
play along with the lie. We wait for open doors and use the occasion of their
deception to speak the truth and expose their game at the same time. When there is perseverance on their behalf,
and well-mannered persistence in questioning, then even a hard heart may
deserve the rebuking answer that it is unwilling to accept.
So when do you speak? The principal is this: When you have to fight
with them to speak, keep quiet. When you have to fight with them to keep quiet,
then you may need to speak. Keep
resolutely quiet, and wait to speak the Word of God with certainty and boldness
in the height of the opportunity, and don’t let God’s message be defamed by
associating it with their mock trial of deceptive questions.
In short, Proverbs says:

We may also include with
this the fact that Jesus mostly did not teach or do much of anything public for
the first 30 years of His life! Think about all of the synagogues He went to
and all of the filth and non-sense He heard for 30 years, and all of that
without being allowed to say a Word!

Note: This particular part of
the Bible study was originally designed for people who have forsaken everything
to obey all of Jesus’ commands, and are potentially facing persecution from it.
·
Determine beforehand to always return the conversation
to the Scriptures
·
[“we know no one according to the flesh” (2Co_5:16)]
·
What they think to do: If they can take the eternal mandates
of God that are “established in the heavens forever” and make them rest upon a
fragile human then they can annul the potency of the Word of God and release
themselves from its demands.
·
They will focus on “you”
and presume their questions as if this is obviously the bases of your actions,
rather than acknowledging your integrity for doing what you find in the Bible.
But on the Contrary…
·
I'm committed to doing whatever the Bible says, even
if I have to change.
·
If someone can show me where the Bible says different,
even now, I am willing to change.
·
"Are you
saying we are all in sin?"
·
The question itself is deceptive, and implies lies
·
It pressures you to step out individually from under
the Bible
·
It suggests that you did this from yourself, but you
did not volunteer for this, but you surrendered unto it.
·
Being threatened by a truth they are not keeping, they
despise the messenger and invent false and unreasonable motives for them to
clear themselves from responsibility.
·
So they ask, "Are you saying we are all in sin?"
·
I'm saying the Bible is true. We ought to obey everything it says. Whenever
we don't obey the Bible, it is sin.

Agree & Make God Happy
12/31/22?-1/2/23
>>>>
NEW
·
Let's make
God happy by being completely unashamed of the Truth 1, which always
results in us perfectly agreeing with each other...
·
‘His
commandments are not burdensome’ 2 and agreement is not hard -- it
will not be hard for you like it is for the rest of the human race if you'll
just believe me and do what I'm saying.
·
We will
easily correct each other, save each other, rejoice each other, agree with each
other, all while embracing the Truth together...
·
BTW if you
want to make me happy, get up in cheerful optimistic faith, and believe that
the saltiest 3, most fiery, hardcore disciples are the ones that
agree with each other the most, all without bickering, disagreements,
arguments, disunity, strife, fleshly confusion, subjective opinions, uninspired
perspectives, and un-crucified folly...
(1) Unashamed of
Truth: Rom_1:16-17;
Php_1:20; Psa_3:3; Psa_34:5; Psa_138:2; 2Ti_1:12; 2Ti_2:1-2; Dan_3:16-18
(2) 1Jo_5:3 – commandments
are not burdensome
(3) Mar_9:50 – salty peace with one another (repeated below)
Happy Communication Responsibility
~12/14/22-12/18/22
Be Optimistic in Communication
·
Goal:
Transfer information.
·
Being
optimistic does not mean we only talk about easy things, it just means we are
positive in the process
·
We can talk
about challenges, but there's no need to be unhappy toward each other.
·
Let's not finish the year in unhappiness but in optimism,
hope, and faith...
·
If changing our budget practices really is a right thing
to do, then it inherently does not require/cause/insight us toward unhappiness
with each other...
·
Doing right
things does not make you prone toward judging in the flesh *, …it does not make
you less faithful, merciful, and logically empowered to effectively and
patiently communicate...
·
Being
unhappy/negative/stressed doesn't contribute a single valuable thing to
accomplishing our righteous goals.
·
‘A (wicked)
servant can't be corrected with words’ (Pro_29:19), but righteous people can
easily listen, learn, change, grow, and be redirected with such logic.
Believe Toward Each Other
·
It is
irrational, unscientific, without integrity, and resisting the worship of Logic
to be unbelieving toward each other.
·
You will not
find a higher form of Truth so that you can sin with it and still be True.

Keep Asking for Communication
Communication Is Everyone's Responsibility
…12/23/22
·
A favorite
stubborn irrational conviction of fast-paced Flesh Balls is, all-to-often, so
typically, to feel very strongly about not needing to persevere in
communication beyond their own intuition.
·
Flesh balls
do not believe they need to keep on going with communication when it is not
intuitive for them.
·
Each one who
bears a burden in their heart is responsible to persevere and persist at
initiating communication until their awareness and information is transferred
to the other party.
·
We need to be
striving to communicate the pending burdens of our heart.
·
If you keep
your sentiments bottled up and don't persevere and don't repeatedly persist at
initiating communication, then you don't have any prerogative to outsource your
resulting frustration & responsibility on someone else who hasn't yet heard
or really understood what has frustrated you.
·
Logic does NOT allow you to “drop the bomb”
on someone, and blast them with supposed facts of new knowledge, when your
unhappiness erupts before meekly persisting in communication.
·
Communicate first, then
only be angry if you are zealous for God’s Logical Truth!
·
We cannot
succeed at communication if each party involved does not give persistent,
patient, meek, humble, perseverance to keep talking about the same things until
we all arrive at Perfect Unity, (as the Scriptures say).
·
Outsourcing
responsibility makes us unnecessarily frustrated with each other.
·
Own your own
responsibility.
·
Don't become
frustrated with others when you haven't done the prerequisites that are
required of you.
·
Don't make
someone else indebted when you yourself haven't paid over your owed
communication debt.
·
Even if someone
evil is in control, a righteous person can still persistently beg like a
subjected widow. -- How much more, then, meekly subjected should we be with
those who eagerly give all of their energy to doing what is most righteous,
disciplined, and are subjected under the virtue of obeying all of the Bible?
·
"What
are the next steps toward this problem I still feel" -- The formula that
solves virtually all knowledge issues among righteous people who Love the God
of Logical communication.
·
If you're
frustrated, first make sure that you have meekly and humbly persevered to keep
bringing things up until communication is successful.
>>> Do just about as much logic and
warfare as you possibly can in prayer to have a prepared and clean Orthodox posture
toward each other, and you can possibly carefully and meekly request some help
earlier if you're floundering in the meantime in the process, and then after
preparing and seeking any needed help, if you still have a burden on your
heart, respond to your responsibility and keep communicating it with everyone
else as much as its needed and helpful.
1/1/23; 1/8/23
The Point: Keep repeating your unresolved feelings,
experiences, and/or knowledge for as long as you keep having them
until all disciples understand and agree.
If we have a “mutuality” posture toward each other and we Keep Asking for Communication then we will win!

Ricochet about communication - I was
praying some of the following in prayer this morning as a good confession and
request towards God:
'If any man can tame the tongue then he'd
be a perfect man' (James_3:2)
I want to humble myself before the
righteous.
I want to interact with people well.

Asking questions when in doubt

Intro: Welcome Truth, Instead of Making Critical Assumptions
·
Mistakes
happen, and we should not be criticizing them.
·
We should be
crediting righteousness to the pure, and the innocent, and the wise, just like
the Bible does.
·
We will be
saved from fleshly/unlawful/foolish/illogical criticism, if we’ll beg for
inspiration instead of assuming it’s not there (i.e. criticizing)
The
Need for Quirky Integrity is Not Isolated to Only One Example
It would be
unhealthy to think that this exhortation is about the one who wrote it, since
the principles are still a concern for your safety even if I left and went away
from this world.
Quirky Definitions
A Communication
Quirk is…
·
An accident
when attempting to communicate
·
A
(potentially temporary) failure at expression
·
An
unsuccessful attempt at representing the contents of someone’s thoughts and
heart
·
A pragmatic
“hiccup” or “stutter” from one’s intention
·
A morally
similar experience and phenomena to stumbling when attempting to walk, and
falling when weakness overtakes us
·
A weakness of
the human condition
·
A periotic
event that we are all subject to, by default
·
A humbling
event that we can all expect to experience repeatedly, sooner or later
(this is
not a prediction, but a description of likelihood)
·
A sobering
reality that reminds us to humbly Love others enough to sympathetically help
redeem them from the brokenness of this life
·
A trouble of
this life that real heroes reverse
A Communication
Quirk is NOT…
·
What someone
was really trying to say
·
Worth
judging, criticizing, reacting to, or characterizing someone by
·
A crime, sin,
fault, or moral failure (by nature)
·
A measurement
of someone’s value or virtue
·
Something to
boast against
When God is ready to boast in someone’s inspiration,
make sure you are not found boasting against their quirks, lest God also boast
against you at their exaltation and your destruction (failure to Love and know Truth).
Quirks vs. Sin
·
Quirks are
not inherently Sinful.
·
Sin can cause
and overlap with Quirks, but it doesn’t have to.
·
When Quirks
are not Sin, then you can (& should/must) distinguish the two of them (as
much as you have opportunity to do so).
·
Un-sinful
Quirks are a departure from intention that does not defile the conscious.
If someone
is defiled when beholding a non-sinful quirk, who has sinned?
The One beholding is generally always at fault for defilement against the
innocent.
·
If you can
keep doing goodness, Truth, real Love without missing a beat (or if you just
need to pause to readjust mentally) then you know the quirk was not measurably
sinful for all socially functional intents and purposes.
·
If you are
hard hearted (bitter, unloving, untrue, unclean) then sin was included
somewhere in the quirk.
re-Define Your Character into Being a Hero
·
Getting your
“Quirky” definitions straight can help you not be a moral failure when reacting
to other people’s troubles.
·
Rather, we
need to correct, change, and reverse our heritage of satanic accusations into
the salvation of becoming real heroes who rescue hurt people from the troubles
of this life.
(Am I
exaggerating our satanic heritage or is this rather and understatement?)
·
Even more so
besides: many heroes in the Bible had Communication Quirks and God’s council
did not criticize them at all.
·
Although a
quirk is not a hidden inspiration (by nature, inherently, automatically), yet
inspiration can (and sometimes does) hide in quirks.
·
Because of
this, we also should reverently fear lest we blaspheme even heroes as being
uninspired due to their quirks, when God is so in Love with them that He even
writes their quirks and boasts in their inspiration in His Bible (when boasting
against those critics…)
·
Critics will
die in their sins and perish in His rejection and wrath when ignorantly sinning
against those He has subjected to weakness.
·
God will
redeem, reward, praise, exalt, and promote those who have believed in
inspiration and those who have “loosed every yoke” (Isa 58 & 61, etc.) and
rescued others from the troubles of this life.
Assuming Non-Inspiration -- General Reminders
·
Abraham’s
Wandering
·
Etc.
In a lot of ways we are going through this
example topic as an opportunity to address and remove the stain of indulgent
assumptions away from us.
The opposite of Assuming Non-Inspiration is
NOT Assuming Inspiration, but it is rather to STOP Assuming!
When you start begging, thirsting for, and
welcoming inspiration instead of assuming it is not there, then you can
actually cause it into being.
Assuming Non-Inspiration happens when you
are not desperately prioritizing the Word of God, and causing inspiration
happens when you cannot live without it!
Example: it’s much like, 'idleness is the
devil's workshop...' when you’re Assuming Non-Inspiration
If you were preoccupied in being inspired,
and inclined and welcoming toward it, then you would have no room in
your soul to assume that it is not there in others.

Moses’ Uncircumcised In Lips

Exo_6:28-30 – MT: uncircumcised lips; ABP: weak-voiced
Think: falling on face -- similarly: Jesus writes in the sand
“Uncircumcised” is used, according to the
Hebrew idiom, for any imperfection which interferes with efficiency.”

In retrospect, Peter does not allow anyone
to despise his communication quirk, but much rather instead, we are
commanded/charged to reverence his eye witness account all the more (in his epistle)!
We’re not allowed to assume he’s not
inspired. We are required to believe that he has ‘a more sure word of
prophecy’.

Philip’s Pending Orthodoxy
Joh_1:45 CAB Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found the One about whom Moses
wrote in the Law, and the Prophets--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Joh_1:45 εὑρίσκει
Φίλιππος τὸν
Ναθαναὴλ καὶ
λέγει αὐτῷ·
ὃν ἔγραψε Μωϋσῆς
|Aμωυσης
TSBμωσης| ἐν τῷ
νόμῳ καὶ οἱ
προφῆται εὑρήκαμεν,
᾿Ιησοῦν TSBτὸν υἱὸν
τοῦ ᾿Ιωσὴφ
τὸν ἀπὸ
Ναζαρέτ. |Sναζαρεθ TBAναζαρετ|
One of the main points of John was to
record specifically how Jesus was
Divine, and also how His disciples discovered this.
The first chapter starts with declaring
His pre-incarnate Divinity as the LOGOS/Word of God (Joh_1:1, etc.), and John
shows how his disciples did not realize this in this very same chapter (Joh_1:45) and how it took till the last supper (Joh_14:5, etc.) for Jesus to still be explaining
His Divinity.
Therefore, when Philip said “Jesus of
Nazareth, the son of Joseph” John remembered and included this detail in
his Gospel to emphasize this developing theme of Discovering Jesus’ Divinity,
which was not quite realized by His disciples at first.
It is no accident that we read again later
in John about Thomas and Philip, where Jesus says ‘have you not known me
Philip?’
Joh_14:5-11 LSV Thomas
says to Him, “Lord, we have not known to where You go away, and how are we able
to know the way?” 6
Jesus says to him, “I AM the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to
the Father, if not through Me; 7 if you had known Me, you
would also have known My Father, and from this time you
have known Him, and have seen Him.” 8 Philip
says to Him, “Lord, show to us the Father, and it is enough for us”; 9 Jesus says to
him, “Such [a] long time am I with you, and you have
not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father;
and how do you say, Show to us the Father? 10
Do you not believe that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in
Me? The sayings that I speak to you, I do not speak from Myself, and the Father
who is abiding in Me does the works Himself; 11 believe Me, that I [am]
in the Father, and the Father in Me; and if not, because of the works
themselves, believe Me.

(Notice the memorable numerical
coincidence: 1:45
& 14:5 concerning Phillip)
We see that John repeatedly focuses on Philip
and Thomas, along with a few others, as examples of how His disciples
discovered Jesus’ Divinity.
A major climax of this theme is when the
so called “doubting” Thomas declares Jesus to be his “Lord and God” (Joh_20:28
& comp. Joh_20:17).
Joh_20:27-29 LSV …do not become unbelieving, but
believing.” 28
And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” [lit. the lord of mine and the
God of mine] 29 Jesus says to him,
“Because you have seen Me, Thomas, you have believed;
blessed [are]
those having not seen, and having believed.”

What do you think Thomas’ preaching was like after he
participated in bringing back this account to us? (…Remember Peter’s written
preaching after the transfiguration?)
Philip’s “insufficient” impressions,
quirks, and issues were not held against him, but he went on to be exalted to
be one of the 12 pillars of the heavenly Jerusalem forever!
Philip’s Quirks in the Bible are not about
how “uninspired” he was, but rather, that he was in the Bible in the first
place and was inspired through his quirks to help write it!
Philip’s Quirks in the Bible are not about
how bad he was, but how great he was, and how he, Thomas, and the other
disciples Discovered Jesus’ Divinity, and the whole world is now filled with
their glorious knowledge of Jesus’ Divine nature because of them. Through their
mistakes we see how they declared to us this Truth in the Bible!
We do not need to doubt and blaspheme them
for their “accidents” but rather we are commanded to believe them because of how
they were directly exalted into inspiration through them.

hypocritical strong flesh.
Devilish Accusations Toward Quirks
-- Avoid/Beware
·
Zec_3:1-2;
Rev_12:10 – the devil is always accusing the brothers
·
Be careful
not to be a devil (Joh_6:70), or a female devil (1Ti_3:11; Tit_2:3)
Condemning the Innocent
Pro_17:15 – Abominable Flip-Flop
Psa_94:21 – Opposing righteous/innocent

Isa_42:3 – Justice vs. Bruised Reed
Breaking (just as in Zec_3:1-2)
no bruised reed
breaking or wick/flax quenching, but faithful justice (MT) / true judgement

the Innocent
Mat_12:5-8 LSV Or did you not read [ἀνέγνωτε
(see: v.7)] in the Law, that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the
Sabbath, and are blameless* [ἀναίτιοί]? 6 And I say to you that [One]

(i.e. v.5)] what [this] is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice—you had

Sympathy, Not Criticism!
·
Do THIS
instead of THAT -- now logic wins! (think: Sympathy vs. Criticism)
·
When someone
stumbles in their attempt to communicate the pressing and most urgent need is sympathy, not criticism!
·
Accredit good
to the victims of our failed human condition.
(as seen in
Mat_12:7 above)
Never kick a creature when they are down since:
(1) Academic strength is evil to boast in, and,
(2) Criticizing someone in the strength of evil is Hypocrisy and more
guilt than the victim (like ‘judging a frail father in your strength’ in
Sirach)
(3) Whatever hypocritical judgements you commit against another you
condemn yourself of worse crimes
(4) We are all subject to weakness, and,
(5) If we don’t fail today we are sure to likely fail tomorrow, and,
(6) You need the same and more sympathy in your time of need than you
would ever give another in their time of trouble.
If someone has a communication quirk,
you're not allowed to "read into it" a negative, or worst
case/possible interpretation, but rather, wait for them and first give them a
chance to be pleasantly vindicated of your negative impression, and especially
excuse one whose previous reputation has been sufficiently established
otherwise.
Hypocrisy Toward Quirks -- Avoid/Beware
·
Especially
beware when
it risks hypocrisy to accuse someone who is more innocent than you in the very
area that you're finding fault with them.
·
Priscilla story*: ‘you're judging him and you
don't know his heart’
·
am I judging a hypocrite without knowing that
hypocrite or is Priscilla hypocritically judging me without knowing me and
sinning against God and man by assuming non-inspiration?
·
Reminder: Hypocrisy
= Inconsistency = Breach in Logic (incl. righteous communication)
·
Intuitive
assumptions about someone else against their virtue is VERY
ILLOGICAL/immoral/illegal/unwise/dangerous/hazardous/dirty/sinful!
·
Accusing
before asking (when needed/required) = Illogical Inconsistent Hypocrisy
·
Whatever you
hypocritically accuse someone of, your hypocrisy is,
by nature, much worse than its accusation.
·
In the same
way also: when you judge another person’s communication quirks, you are in much
more serious danger of most likely being much more of a hypocrite than any of
the much smaller things you accuse them of in your heart.
* Priscilla Batista Brown I
guess with my other comment what I meant is that you can still communicate your
point to someone who you think isn't living right in a way that doesn't assume
you know them so well. I will think on this more and ask anything if i need too. :)
Quirky Determinations
·
Important
key: determine if someone was a victim of a Communication Quirk
or if they really did sin in the strength of their heart.
·
Measure real
virtues of real morality to get the real deal of reality.
·
The metric of
virtue always wins when determining who is right and wrong.
·
Remember: ask
someone permission before believing something negative against them -- and
become at peace with logical communication.
·
Don’t judge
hidden motives, especially all the more if someone has not objectively
exhibited literal sin in strength (by word or other deed) in the area of their
stumbling.
·
If an
expression is subject to interpretation, misunderstanding, failure, weakness,
accidents, and unintended results, don’t judge it and risk vanity, falsehood,
hypocrisy, and worse guilt.
·
Don’t risk
vain drama by criticizing something that is not even real in the first place.
·
If someone
has not really expressed what they intended, and how they intended it, then it
is not righteous or logically permitted to critique their mis-expression
and believe what you want to about them without their permission.
·
If you are
unsure about an apparent quirk, then try to excuse them in your heart, and
then, especially (even more) if you're still unresolved, ask for verification
that your merciful conceptualization is accurate.
Quirky Conclusions of Inspiration
·
Divine Quirks
teach us not to be fleshly and idolatrous with our illogical intuitive
assumptions of the satanic flesh.
·
There’s lot’s of hope for us to increase the Word of God upon the earth
if we concur all despising and assuming non-inspiration.
If…
·
Not
contradicting knowledge / preceding knowledge
·
They aren’t
ignoring the Bible
·
If they’re
eager/willing to change
·
Not sinning
in the strength of their heart
·
Part of a
valid human experience
…Then fear to criticize them -- it might be a valid part of the human
experience, and they might even be inspired.
The End Is What Counts
1/24/23
Gauge people based on how they end
Jesus was raised from a starting point that did not have knowledge
wouldn't you be a complete loser
to think that Jesus did not have wisdom as a baby even though he was wisdom
itself incarnate?
this is the exact same state we are all in whenever going through
various processes of acquiring knowledge - remembering the basics of reality,
that knowledge is not wisdom and lack of knowledge is not lack of wisdom, but
instead rather, the seed of wisdom is the fear of God which manages knowledge
as it comes and grows and blossoms into its full strength as it finds
opportunity to acquire knowledge and manage it masterfully and skillfully in
all prestigious morality and inspired excellence.
and that's why we need to treat
each other like anointed one and not assume non-inspiration when knowledge is
not there

Questions AySun_5:52pm(edited) -- with overseer’s comments inserted
It doesn't sound to me like person's B need is
being organized but more so ability to first acknowledge alignment or disalignment with A before bringing up another point.
>> but expressing that requires organization to express
I dont get why
person A seems ro need to pamper person's Bs ego for saying something good even if they werent focused on the topic at hand.
>> Remember
that we are talking about what OUR group is dealing with (not just any generic
audience with larger varieties of issues)
>>
Glorifying God is not pampering another person’s ego -- otherwise you risk
assuming non-inspiration / illogic
>> Despising
others risks hypocrisy -- where you are worse than the false accusation/slander
you invent in your heart
>> “the
topic at hand” -- if they are changing it then that means changing the subject
vs. making a different point
To me it sounds like Person B is the ine who initiates confusion and the responsibility is in
their court or else A now needs to manage what the
initial point was as well as everything in the dissertation.
>> Those who
initiate a discussion are not Lords of what is required to fix it
>> Whoever
has virtue has the solution to the biggest need for what to focus on
>> Focusing
on multiple points at the same time is not ideal, but it is usually the nature
of being human and needing to resolve a complex discussion
Sounds like less ego
is also person B wanting to understand and resolve the initial point before now
saying what they think is valuable and now expecting a pat on the back for
saying good things but also disjointing the conversation.
>> Person B
can often bring up prerequisites needed before fully addressing A’s original
point
>> The
suspicion of “expecting a pat on the back” is assuming non-inspiration -- esp.
if applied among us (righteous people only want Truth to be glorified)
>> B is only
“disjointing the conversation” if they are changing the subject
>> Resolving
the initial point is ideal, but not Biblically required
>> Phineas
was more righteous than all of our understanding and God glorified him forever
and we should too -- without assuming non-inspiration and suspecting unlawful
ego centralism & selfish ambitions of congratulations on his behalf
How is person A
being egotistic to expect response to address what is being said. Isnt that fundamental aspect to effective communication

Wife’s Responce
AlSun_6:23pm
"pamper

"Person B is the one
who initiates confusion "
"and
now expecting a pat on the back"
"for...disjointing
the conversation."
Doesn't sound like it will
be healthy for any of us to process things in that way...
I'm thinking through the
various types of discussions that have happened among us in the past...Maybe
one of the next things we can do (that might be helpful for us) is to define
the primary situation/context in question by using specific examples that have
actually happened among us, and then to set some parameters from that
Ay Continues
AySun_6:31pm(edited)
I guess while the example is
still fresh:
I was wondering For the dont judge A, B example
where A was talking about not judging.
Instead of B saying
"the Bible tells us how to judge" wouldn't it be better if B first
said, " yes, we're not supposed to judge [in this
context]. And/but the Bible also tells us how to judge if we're going to
judge."
But if person B just goes
into "the Bible tells us how to judge" or they just start a
dissertation about how to judge, then why would it be and
issue for person A to say you didn't understand me if the aspect they're coming
from is not judging and now person A would now be you responsible for saying,
"yes you made a good point about when it is okay to judge but what I was
referring to me was when it's not okay to judge." I guess I don't
understand why person A would be egotistic for expecting person B to respond
based on what was said. I thought that was just how communication works. If
person A becomes responsible for being the one that says "you make good
points and I'm going to think about it" then that makes sense they should
do that but to me it sounds like issue started by person who not aligning with
what person is said but going off on another point even if it is relevant and
perhaps it is more valuable.
But I guess what good is it
if it's not effective because now it just confusing and possibly a cycle but
now person A is responsible for breaking it and if they get frustrated from
perpetually feeling misunderstood I feel like there's a lot of blame and in
reality the issue started with B's response.
>>>
As for the emotionally
charged part how is it not assuming that the person who
is now frustrated from being misunderstood now is just writing off what
somebody else said because they're being emotional.
If person B feels like or is
wondering if person A is just writing off what B said because person A sounds
emotional charged/frustrated then wouldn't person B assuming possible malicious
intent of person A for being evil by not acknowledging truth just because
they're frustrated?
I guess I don't understand
why person Awould be categorizes egotistic and need
to take responsibility for making person B not feel
like person A is being malicious.
And I think I understand
what our Mom was saying that person A isnot expected to be smart and connect all the dots from Bs response. So I feel like B can at least acknowledge what
the point of the conversation initially started as before directing it to
something else even if that's something else is greater and more valuable.
I don't understand why if A
is egotistical for desiring making sure that "first things are first"
so to speak and keeping focused. What if Person A doesn't need the whole
conversation to be about their point if their point really isn't valid but if
it hasnt been clear that the initial point of the
conversation isn't valid, but other things are being said then, yeah person A
is trying to remain focus and not end up going off on what seems to them like
other topics because it hasn't been established that everyone is talking about
the same topic and that B didnt go out of context.
AySun_6:33pm(edited)
@Al sounds good. Yeah talking
about a specific example makes sense since we may have different examples in
our head while trying to work out through the principles.
I'm just stating my concerns
and wondering based off of the generic discussion.
haSun_6:37pm --
RE: Al said
I was actually going to
mention, is using the word egocentric appropriate for the talk at hand for
either person A or person B? I think somewhere I appreciate what our mom
mentioned in general, but also the use of the term egocentric towards person A
is very hard to process and doesn't make you feel like person A is being
represented well. I like the concept of working together to value each other,
with person A and person B bending over backwards as a team to help each other be understood. It can feel like both person A and person B
have things to work on in order to promote teamwork, and its
not all morally person As fault and all person B needs to do is work on being
more organized. Putting moral blame on person A is very hard to understand in
the context of a conversation where we are seeking to value each other by
understanding each other.
haSun_6:51pm(edited)
And as mentioned, I really dont like the idea of
isolating this situation to teacher and student convos. I feel like I have been in person B spot plenty
of times and as mentioned I feel grateful that if I say something that doesnt address what person A is saying, that person A tells
me so. If person A mentioned that I wouldnt think
person A was being egocentric, so it is very hard for me to fully understand
how they are being so.

Don’t Insist on Requiring
more organization in B’s communication than the Bible exemplifies in its conversations
The Bible says a lot of divine truth ad
exemplifies lot of conversations without making everything contextualized and
easily understood.
By doing this the Bible teaches us different
and more important ways to grow and accomplish successful communication.
To be sure and clear: the logic of God is the
best remedy for communication -- teacher-oriented communication is NOT always
the most logical way to tackle morally complex discussions.
Examples of Complex Discussions
~1/8/23
the entire Bible speaks in a very brief complex
condensed way and is in constant need of a lot of explanation, all of which is
the responsibility of the listener or reader to apply logic and hear logic
through immeasurable complications
Job - the entire
book
one of the most
basic concepts for the basis of the book of Job is authenticating The human
experience of that form of complex multifaceted communication with simultaneous
contributions all needed to be tested in a non-sequential way, while generally
disapproving of their wrong statements within the valid process of them
communicating them.
if that form were radically illogical and unacceptable
or non-ideal, they wouldn't have made it to first base so as to somewhat
glorify the entire experience of their conversation by taking up so many
chapters in the Bible.
the arguments in job could be quite complex and
potentially challenging to follow, yet job does not find any trouble in such
communication, or in continually engaging their contributions, but only the invalidness within what they're trying to say.
Ecclesiastes is
primarily a simultaneous consideration of many factors almost none of which get
resolved or finished until the very end of the book.
Jacob and his
sons as Shechem
when Jesus'authority
is questioned - like many other times when Jesus indirectly responded to what
people said
the complex Epistles are almost 100% simultaneous
complex considerations.
Revelation is
extremely logical like many of the other prophets is extremely simultaneous
with this type of communication you
have to pay closer attention to what's actually being said whenever they don't
hold your hand in an explicitly teacher-oriented communication.
Inspiration Reminders
1/8/23
...
'a gentle
tongue' and 'a still small voice' is all that is needed to 'break a bone' and
'chop through rock' - therefore we are forbidden to demand or insist on or even
seek or idealize an impressive show of speech before we are persuaded by the
perfect virtue of what is said
...
such mechanisms of assumed non
inspiration, if actually applied in and to our historical context, are
unloving, unrighteous, untrue, bitter, full of darkness, illogical, irrational,
unfair, dirty, untrue, dangerous, hazardous...
as I said, I'm
not so sure whether or not these statements were literally applied to us
historically or not, and one way or the other, I don't think that our dangers
of assuming non inspiration, are intentional, but by all means whatever the
case with all of these factors, we definitely need to take these principles and
ideas seriously and repent and change and return to our first Faith and do the
first works of real Love
...
let us do more work on our own so that we won't
have so much work to do when we come together...!
...
wheat and chaf
You have both
the privilege and the fearful liability of seeing various ones of us on a more
frequent basis than the outside world, and from this responsibility You are
required to be found faithful without an ounce of despising fully safe and
trustable and fully responsible to have a level head and a rational analysis,
to acknowledge the reality of what you have actually experienced and seen and
limitations of what you don't understand...
...
take these kind friendly reminders
for however they may apply.
'if the shoe fits, then wear it', and if it doesn't, then
there is no harm done in refreshing our purpose statements.
>> Scrip:
for me it is not burdensome to remind you of
these things but for you it is safe
because his commands are not burdensome,
BTW.
My dear people, please remember and take it to heart that I'm
addressing these things to help you for your safety and benefit, otherwise if I
were seeking my own cause I would not labor in these complications. - it is
much easier for me to be passive and to let these things pass by at the risk of
your misunderstanding, but that is definitely not healthy or safe for you to
misunderstand and to miss out on learning something important and vital that
could change and upgrade you... and eventually identify the very thing (s) you
need the most to complete your redemption from this hateful life...
>> Scrip:
I wish all God's
people were prophets
remember that any of us can raise up and
give a prophecy
at any point any of us can speak boldly when becoming
arrested by the mightyness of Scriptures or simply
the blessed voice from heaven that wrote them
even our youngest can declare mighty
authoritative Truth for all of us to believe and obey.
much like the
synagogues in the Bible and very unlike the churches today, we are very eager
for anyone to come bring a word of exhortation or an authoritative proclamation
of Truth - you just better be able to back up what you say or you'll get
stoned, or in this case, for the New covenant, you'll get excommunicated and
thrown into hell (if you're persisting in overconfidence and not submitting to
the authority of the Scriptures to judge yourself soberly and quarantine all
your disarrangements as much as possible, etc.)
go right ahead and be bold, and declare Truth with the
clean and good conscience.
go ahead and set the record straight with a straight
heart that cannot lie.
draw off of the depth of truth and
serious knowledge and perfect peace with wisdom to set the wobbly feet of
children on firm ground and teach them to walk.
after all, we do not have any need to
hesitate as though there is really any unclarity in
this matter after the Scriptures have already so clearly, righteously, and convictingly declared to us:
>> Scrip:
what is the wheat from the chaff
but whether you
are bold or whether you are hesitant, at least do this: choose rightly whether
you will insistently instruct others with real knowledge or whether you should
rather refuse to defend your experience and instead beg and ask for help from
others to change, but don't ride the fence and don't insist on something that
is weak and beggarly and inferior from this world when we have an opportunity
to change and embrace good announcement.
Don't be
double-soul-ed and inconsistent 'halting on two feet'
saying you want discipleship and yet not changing in the very areas you so
desperately need to imitate others, and learn something new and different to
change from the condemned blindness of your flesh. Decide what you want first,
and stick with it faithfully (if it is indeed true), firm to the end, with a
clean conscience, and a righteous virtue that knows Truth in prayer, and be
consistent with your first faith, lest you fall to pride and hypocrisy.
as only one example among us which could also include
other examples from others as well...
as I've said before to Ay, I say again:
'if you don't let me help you change in the way that you
communicate then I cannot disciple you'
I'm not willing
to suggest that this statement is comprehensive, even though I said it at the
risk of being misunderstood in an over simplified way, as though i thought that our issues are simply as simplistic as this,
yet there is a sense in which this is True, and it is still accurate and
needful, in many ways it is one of the most important senses for us to
consider...
nevertheless, I do still say this again, and
I don't say it with the slightest bit of pride or overconfidence or stepping
beyond the boundaries of what has been bound unto me to speak and to do. I will
go to judgment having said this having preferred others before myself with a
clean conscience and a pattern which you can imitate to find favorable
connection to the Truth in prayer.
if I were selfish I would not risk my serenity in this
way, nor would I add the complication of delving into difficult things risking
a simple environment in order to push for greater benefit in other's behalf.
>> Scrip:
that they may do it with joy because
if it is with constraint that would not be profitable for you
I hope you can
at least trust me in this, and then with that clean and loving basis we can
move forward to communicate and work through all of the other details and
complications.
and if indeed you
will so please me and heaven by speaking boldness in a good conscience, that
does not mean that you need to thunder with your voice, and we must not
constrain any of us to yell or amplify ourselves before we are believed, it
just means A bold speaker among us must be monotheistically
and logically agreeing with the Truth and your passion and zeal are based off
of the heart-purifying righteousness of submitting to a Truth outside of your
own nature, and are consistently speaking in the best interest of objective
Truth because you are constrained outside of your own body and you are without
self-interest, and you have abstained in innocence from advertising the praise
of your own soul.
did Moses 'take too much on himself' in the
wilderness by constantly affirming monotheistic arrangements and righteous
rules against the wild disarrangements and perils of The flesh?
and when applying this to us, obviously anyone
can fill the shoes of Moses or Elijah or the other prophets or Matriarchs of
Bible. Just because certain associations have been repeated that doesn't mean
our glories cannot overlap with various figures in the Bible.
furthermore, remember forever and never
forget that the standards of selflessness are measured without hypocrisy by
viewing the way person ends, not the way they begin.
because it is by
this standard of faith that the elders gained a good testimony: it was not as
though Moses never feared or Sarah never laughed or Abraham never had a
question, but these all ended in faith and in such a way going towards a good
testimony in the hall of faith, just as we are required to do so as a biblical
canonical standard of real Truth required toward each other.
our selflessness
and testimony is not measured in transit along the way, in the meantime while
moving from one place to the other, momentarily needing understanding, - be
warned and always remember that the flesh Is Bent toward satanic accusations,
and you can very easily recognize predictable patternized
crimes of exploiting momentary considerations, and processes of learning, and
initial pains before they are led into faith, So as to take a momentary and
misleading misrepresentative snapshot at just the wrong time of the righteous,
with just the wrong lighting, to supposedly capture an unflattering image that
lies more than it represents the Truth... when a dark shadow imposes itself on
the weakness of a righteous person's flesh, it is not the person's expression
that you see at first, but rather it is the unpleasant strain and negative feeling
of that evil principle superimposed against them which might easily distort
their countenance temporarily, and that is not a representative memory of who
they really are but of their opposition which bitterly resists them, but
instead you ought to take a picture of them and see it in your memory after
they have cast all untruth to the ground with mightiness and loving virtue and
then you will have a picture of Truth in your mind and not a satanic accusation
of hypocrisy that forms doubly worse hypocrisy in the one who accuses of it.
A premature
Snapchat represents a person's trial, but where a person ends represents their
choice, Walk, and lifestyle.
We should always
guard ourselves and others to not exploit a snapshot prematurely taken out of
context in such a way to fragment a misrepresented event that encourages
misunderstanding, and deception as a result, and fuels satanic accusations.
misrepresentations and deceptions are the devil's
tools and his native language as being the author of confusion and father of
lies.
We dare not so
willingly cooperate with such overt and predictable tools as these, lest we
risk having the devil's fingerprint on us...
tank careful and deep note that the
flesh always wages war against recognizing a difference between momentary
problems and continuing to sin...
and indeed, you
will never know the difference between 'the wheat and the chaff' and you will
always despise and assume not inspiration unless you permanently and
qualitatively decide and commit in your heart to set aside momentary events and
admire with reverence the continual glow and glory of the posture, Walk,
lifestyle, and continual tence of obeying...
never assume non-inspiration when
someone has left their flesh and persistently, insistently, and carefully
declared from something outside of themselves, no matter whether or not they
themselves are comfortable with that standard.
Illogical
disarrangements and wild lustful selfish flesh assumed non-inspiration in the wilderness
and perished, blasphemously concluding without any rational monotheistic basis
that Moses was being selfish, just as it was blasphemed against even Elijah, Jeremiah, even
Balaam, and so many other prophets...
don't be in any
danger of even slightly tolerating hints of assuming non-inspiration, but
instead prove monotheistic virtual laws by which we can all hear and believe
and live without being spiritually disconnected from the Truth.
the blessedness
of having departed from the flesh and having come into and under the rules of
demanded righteousness outside of one's own heart and mind and default and
culture and upbringing will be our Canon and cleanness and righteousness for a
fresh new covenant of believing the truth and being soft-hearted in clean
righteousness. this will be our safe and clean
soft-hearted standard that keeps us in good standing with heaven and connects
us to Truth when praying.
that is my prayer for us: that we
would be connected to the Truth when we pray, and that we would care and notice
when departures affect our closeness with heaven. and
that we would not have personally destructive doctrines to inherently go the
wrong direction which is not in our best interest.
this is to our
glory and best interest that we would increase in choosing to do the right work
on our own, and starting in the right place, having connected to Superior
virtues and serious and weighty knowledge from above, and come together with
greater profit and rejoicing, having already found the same principles and
values in prayer, and started working on the same foundational Truth which we
will find more completed in each other as we come together and collabor together under the obedience of wisdom.
I pray that our
faith would not fail and that we would endure thoroughly without changing our
gospel and remember these rules and escape those perishing in the wilderness,
and glorify all objective monotheism...
furthermore,
there is also this happy possibility that one may raise up with Truth and
another may also raise up with additional Truth - and we 'can all prophesy'
(more or less, in one way or the other) and we can all be edified and built up
and come together to be each other's heroes.
my
considerations and the value I bring to the table and the message of Hope I
demand from us are not so impenetrable that no one else might get a word in
edgewise, but as much as it is right to have a love obsession wisdom, we must
all glorify right things together in unison in perfect agreement in order to
become a symphony from heaven saving all of ourselves and those beholding us.
if multiple considerations are correct, cleanly true,
and very needed, then we will rejoice each other in boldly declaring Truth
about different aspects, as long as we are careful and reverent, maintaining
integrity, not assuming non-inspiration...
...
negative pre-suppositions
it requires negative pre-suppositions, that is
assuming non-inspiration, to frame or refraim the AB
conversation s in that light.
whether these negative pre-suppositions
are purely theoretical or if they are also in practice specifically in
application toward our historical events, these negative assumptions are
illustrations of the very principle mechanisms of assuming non-inspiration that
we need to repent of.
...
there are
different structures and logical mechanisms for communication in the Bible, and
we are better off preferring those and identifying those and using those and
placing weight and responsibility based on those structures rather than our own
culture that struggles so much with communication.
We do not
correct ourselves into all perfection and agreement by drawing off of the
solutions that the world and human experience has to offer for its own
problems.
Divine cannons
tell us how we ought to change unto a Superior perfection by virtuous values
contradictory to all of the supposed and strength of this life which is
failing.
AB Clash
...
Clarification: I
wasn't so much trying to say that person A was being directly egocentric, but
rather that the culture that taught younger generations to communicate is
increasingly egocentric. The main potential risk of possibly being egocentric
is to defend that type of cultural thinking (so we need to be aware and have a
certain amount of caution when relearning how to communicate better).
When some among
us has been in a person B posture, I have sought to validate their contribution
even if they didn't understand my main point or someone else's main point (in a
person A posture). When some of us have been in a
person A posture we have often exhibited excessive
struggle to understand the value of person B's contribution.
not making progress and learning to change and defending
the culture that taught you to not recognize what someone else is saying.
younger generations are being taught by
an increasingly egocentric culture, and that can have its consequences on
communication.
…
AB
I'm not saying
that person A is being egocentric, but I'm alerting you that egocentric
cultures uniquely and particularly fail at training such people to recognize
biblical forms of logical communication.
....
AB example
includes and excludes me personally.
I have been in both
A and B situations.
I have wondered
what B was getting at and how it applied to what I was saying, and I have also
been appreciative when they have made a better point than myself, and I've been
in a B posture where I appreciated A helping me get on back on track (like the
blessed H mentioned). and I've been in many situations
where I have just wished we were stronger at helping each other move forward in
our communication progress...
I have needed help understanding A and I have
needed help understanding B. I have been in weakness and I have also been made
strong in it.
I have been
involved in many fights and watched arguments all my life, and have been saved
out of it all by a different gospel totally out of this world that completely
contradicts all such foolishness perversion and disarrangements.
I am gripped in
a love obsession with mighty wisdom which promises and demands a superior
perfect agreement by following her rules and submitting to her judgments and
glorifying her decisions and values.
sometimes I have
been involved in this type of AB conversation, and other times I have sat back
and watched others struggle in this type of dynamic way - and the main need /
concern among us is to learn to listen better...
and having come
this far and having gotten this specific, I would not have done so if I were
not requested to get more specific with examples, and if I give examples it is
even more required of those who listen to see my examples as objective and not
self-serving or biased, because this is healthier and safer for you, rather
than to lose what I'm saying by being prematurely caught up in examples where
objectivity still needs to be communicated, understood, and established.
whether each speaker is strong or weak
in their points, our greatest improvement and need is to listen better to move
forward in our AB communications.
whether I happen to be entrenched in an
AB conversation or I'm observing others entrenched in an AB dynamic, whoever
has the most virtue always wins: whether that be a particular display of
humility, or any other virtue, including raw Biblical Truth.
it is ideal to
be careful and sequential, and to finish discussing the first point before
moving one to other points, and for a person B to be explicit in their transitions
& cross references, but it is by no means biblically mandated or
exemplified, and is therefore not an inherent disarrangement, as long as their
flow of communication is logical in one way or in another and carries an order
to their communication and (particularly and especially) a rightness to what
they're actually literally saying... -- irregardless
of quirks, misunderstandings, confusions, different perspectives, and such...
it is an inherent disarrangement to keep lacking
listening, and it is biblically mandated, and exemplified to learn to listen to
each other and recognize logical patterns in other people's dynamic
communications and be courageous and heroic enough to solve the puzzle, by
becoming mighty in communication from being sufficiently trained.
listening better and seeking to see how it
applies and prove another person's point as much as you have opportunity is
almost always the biggest crying need for our successful understanding and
resulting communication success.
it is ideal whenever possible to focus on one point at
a time and align and reach thorough conclusions before moving on to the next
point, but that is not always the most logical way to resolve complex
discussions.
discussing multiple factors at once becomes
required when there are prerequisites and interdependencies and sometimes even
superiorities to consider when considerations become inherently complex and
moral factors become dynamic...
holding a lot of complex information in
your head at once and dynamically interchanging between multiple complex
thoughts is the way the Creator formed the universe and wrote the Scriptures
and exemplified numerous complicated exchanges between His heroes
B might have a
superior point that takes precedence, or person B might be struggling to
understand person A and needs another question answered first before
understanding can follow
there are biblical and logical cues
for identifying and following this type of cooperative ping pong communication.
increasingly egocentric cultures have not
taught each newer generation the communication skills and values to
successfully collaborate in ping pong communication.

Do not make a simple thing complicated.
When someone is struggling to make one point clear, and puts things in a
simplistic format in order to accomplish understanding, it is wrong to add
other complicated factors to that that are not serving the goal of the one who
needs to clarify one point.
It is morally wrong to serve your own self-seeking purposes when someone
else should be served in communication.
...
The communication habits of some of the disciples among us are still
under probation.
We should not outsource responsibility, or pretend like this is not the
case.
Self discipline is for grown ups,
and regular old discipline is for children.
If you do not endure either discipline than your acting as totally
illegitimate children.

12/5/15
Almost all behavioral communication problems are due to not being
faithful/wise/perceptive/caring/just in listening.
General Exceptions:
·
Dialect
·
Other
physical limitations
But Sometimes even Dialect challenges are
increased by carelessness/complacency/selfish ego-centricism.
Warning: falling asleep after someone has listened to you might be a
symptom of loving to speak but not righteously loving to hear.
Warning 2: Misunderstandings
the frequent Misunderstandings
among us can be avoided by correcting justice issues.
Misrepresenting those among us is a faithfulness/justice issue.
Think and listen, and obey this greatly before speaking.
Not being able to accurately rehearse what what
said is an unlove toward
listening.
>>Scrip: be careful how you hear!
The point: We should love hearing the point of speakers rather than
hearing ourselves feel sucessful in expressing our
own thoughts/passions/lusts/interests.
Be zealous to stop in the middle of your tracks and repent and stop
doing communication sins right where they occur, and then also wherever they
start.
All in One conversation:
(1)Sweet potato -- calling both potato & Sweet potato “potatos”
>> had to wrestle to find out what was even being said
(2) Peanut butter
>> calling the oils “natural” when they are not “naturally
occurring” --
>> if there is a sense in which something can be understood how
it is being said, it is right to prefer that rather than defaulting to a way in
which it is not so…
(3) Android Speaker
>> understand “speaker” in the sense that the other person is
using it
>> don’t add “speaker Phone” so that it does not work the
way they are describing
Life and communication and love
does not default to being oriented toward contradiction.
Diplomacy to other people’s lives means that you are consumed with
breaching the gap, not widening it.

Why/how to speak distinctly and enunciate --
is there a universal way to speak
with more enunciation and much less sing-songy tone.
---------------
Words are NOT feelings expressed by tones they are laws and realities
of action.
If I say 'don't put dirt in the walkway and you do,
that deserves a spanking. You should have the integrity to
listen more than you vaugly feel and interpret and
assume. We are no longer pagans here, we are monotheists. You have not right to
mumble your words or to just casually 'feel' what people sound like rather than
listeninng to the actual words that are being used.
This is why is can be better to talk monotone when there is an epidemic of
communication disfunctionality. We need to be
rational and true, and respect communication more than the untruth of how we
are feeling.
Complicated Challenges
·
Natural
different dialects thrown together because of truth -- part of redeeming all
nations
·
Bad
Behavioral habits -- complacent toward projection / familiar quietness
·
Demonic interferience
Don’t “tone” while speaking, project
Don’t abbreviate your words in speaking fast,
because that omits the sounds others are often depending on to interpret your
dialect
·
Stop "familiar quiet talking"
·
don't speak from your mouth, but from yur diaphram
·
We want to have an answer for Mir (&
the nations), not be embarased for disfunctional habits
·
Sometimes I find myself slacking in
projection
·
Sometimes I say it loud and clear and I
already know I am going to have to say it again for no perceivable reason...
·
Talk more
like a news broadcaster -- if it doesn't work for speech recognition, it might
not work for us
> it is OK to speak loud!
> raising voice dos not equal being mad/non-gentle-ness
> don't make tones over words... We want words to work in communication,
even if we have to talk in mono tone to be heard.
why do people of the same dilect
say "what" when they are speaking right in front of each other??
>> happened more than 5 times in the span of
a few mins (wasn't trying to keep track)
>> we CANNOT keep doing the same thing when
this happens
>> this is reason for concern, and reason
for action... can't tolorate living in a way that
plans to not be heard
>> example: we cannot live disfunctionally in the name of being gentle... this is not
truth
Fear of Communicating
12/21/15
Unfaithful cat fears
Prepare words
Bad Postures Push You Away From Authority
12/21/15
If you are in a righteous posture ahead of time, you do not have fears
of talking to authorities.
When you have been in the wrong poture about
your concern, the “cat” part of your heart kicks in, and you have a secret despising
of authority that calls God a “hard man” and is hopeless toward warming up
toward faithful and righteous authority.
By the way:
They were afraid to ask him… but John asked Him…
Prioritizing
Communication
Project - don't get loud from your throat, brieth
in deep to push your voice further.
--
We need to stop when we pause between one person and another, as much
as possible.
-
for some reason we think that
even though they are talking to me, I don't necisarily
need to put the same effort into listening.
If I threw a ball at you, it should take more affort
to catch than to throw. How much more with spiritual things.
But we leave teachers extending their soul while we file our nails, and walk
off.
How is it that we know to keep our glass under the dispensor
untill our drink is poured, lest valuable juice is
wasted by being poured on the floor, but we don't know how to stop withdrawling our ear from hearing the Law (see Pro???).
- the more valuable the food or drink and the
finer it tasts, the lest we can afford to waist it.
How valuable is spiritual truth
How much more serious is it to take hold of spiritual things than to
catch a ball, and how much more precious is spiritual drink than physical?
- don't let spiritual drink pour all over the ground and treat it like
it is worthless.
- No person should ever have to tell you this, since we all ready know how to catch balls and recieve
drink in our cups, and it pertains to the hearers to value what they hear, not
to the speaker to promote himself.
-
Do unavoidable timeconsumers up front; Don't wait till you have 10 min left to start getting ready!
do things ahead of time (b-room)
put personal convienence
way behind corporate effeciency
Why don't you rather suffer yourselves to be defruded?
- Get used to prefering that other people
make you wait, than you make them wait
- take tasks with you to make use of waiting time
- Do not be addicted to making people wait for you, and fearing waiting
on them.
aspire to project that you will
be places after a certain time and when you need to be somewhere at a certain
time, aspire to consistently be there ahead of time
means you got to hate being
addicted to accomplishing things
means you got to be willing to be
‘used’ and inconvenienced all the time on a consistent basis
How to do Bible study
-
Get all of your personal needs done before we go corporate
-
it amazes me of how we can have hours of free time
ahead of time, and then as soon as we go corporate someone needs to go to the
bathroom. - this is family unsycrynisation...
Some times we need to punish ourselves first with
pain for disorder compulsions before we will remember to do things during the hurs of order
-
ask before leaving
-
maybe we need to have pre reminders (help me do this
with each other: do bathroom break now! don't wait until we start)
-
think of your thoughts before we say the title of the next direction. Avoid
this whenever possible: Don't be quiet until the second I say "point
B" and then sudenly get another thought. This
can be disrespectful.
-
don't disrespect the reving of a person's being in comunication with unecesary
interruption. If someone is reving for your benefit,
consider it and don't lightly kill it, since
it is right and good for you to share the sentiments for what is being done for
you to benefit you.
-
no backround noise
-
language is oneof the most
cursed things: the fall + Babble (recieved a double
curse)
-
don't be fidgety, gittery and quick (impatient forigners who move to quick to
understand or comunicate)
-
we are all from 'other countries'
-
we must be patient overcomming
the language barrior
-
NT has to do with this (tongues, patient to all, forgive)
-
backround noise
Answering
questions that people interrupt you with, in the ear to whom
it does not belong
Praying
too quietly does not establish agreement
don't ecept
or accomodate or promote random distractions
other phone calls that can
wait
never do personal side
talk
Don't
let things becom valid distractions to you, as much
as possible
It
is hard enough to do comunication. Don't make it
harder by going along with the things that make it near imposible.

attractive than others (and the Bible mentions this)
- sometimes this indicates in the physical,
some particular spiritual thing (David, Ab’s wife) and other times the lack
there of communicates God’s subjection or humiliation of a person (as Jesus)
- some people are born with more “fun” and
enjoyable chemical makes ups and physiology than others (i.e. “extraverts”).
- some people are born with a voice that is
just naturally sweeter than others (does this get abused? How about looks? Is
that ever perverted?)
- some groups that get together naturally
click better with singing than others (such as famous bands), and what does
this mean in reality?
- Whether visually attractive or not, or else emotionally fun, or even
having a beautiful voice or not, our Job is to please God with faith that
despises this world:
- if we are subjected, it is for the sake of demanding the real faith
in greater things (Paul & Silas); if we are exalted, it is for great
thankfulness in God’s glorious display of Goodness that we not pervert His gift
(Psalms)

spiritual—
honor the bride with non distraction
often, when you need things you
ought not to need, you will end up having to hurt others to get it
do you ever feel like you have been cornered and put into a hard
situation where you could not seem to avoid hurting someone in order to get
done what you thought you needed to get done? check your heart and repent of your
own supposed needs and you will suddenly be free to love people freely, and you
will be able to look back and now realise clearly
that what you seemed to need is now emba r e s s s ingly
selfish
you’ll despise others when you are given to vainly love your own style
and you will think and value your own fleshly preferences as core needs for
relating to God, when you dont count then as vanity.
God does not need your style, and neither do you
kick the crutch out from under you so that you may sing with out the leaven of the flesh tainting against truth in
others, since there are often disguised under different headings things that
are actually proclaiming truth to you.
corporate singing is not the same
as individual singing
the difference is you and God vs the assembly and God
the corporate assembly takes
priority over individualism and personal expression
dont
you have houses to meet your own personal needs in ?
so dont
despise the corporate assembly for the sake of your personal needs
if you are really that spiritual,
then meet your personal needs at home by yourself, and dont
get energized by pathetic need of expressing yourself before others so that you
can believe your personal practices yourself
if we cannot pray together in
agreement then there is no sense in
praying out load before each other just to be seen by men that obviously
do not agree with you
the corporate has the good need,
or even challenge, of learning to follow. this is
honorable to give heed to there things
if you count style as vanity, then you can gladly listen more than you
project, and learn the truth that requires the non despising
adjustments to learning truth apart from your
conventional familiar style
learn a new song, or learn a song
in a different style—both of these are good and needed
only sing honestly
always be very slow to declare
your own salvation
change words if necessary to be
safe, honest, and true
revere God. revear the assembling of souls which are apro ch ing
God
value others and the protection of their sensitive souls more than
they do themselves so that they are not invited to turn away and hide their
souls

Logical-Rational Rules of Thumb for Fixing
Repeated Communication Problems
5/22/16
Cooperative Communication
Whoever initiates/starts a conversation has the
prerogative to dictate what the goals of that dialog are.
The second communicator does not inherently
have the right or authority to change the goals of the conversation, but should
strive to defend the originator’s goals even more than the presedent
is supposed to defend the constitution.
In an ideal situation, supposing the
initiator has a logical wherewithal when starting to talk, then
the responder should resolve all levelheadedness and saved mindedness with
these ideals/priorities:
·What is the first speaker actually saying? --
if this rule cannot be used, then this may need to be more of an authoritative/instructional communication
·What is the speaker’s context?
·What do they want as a goal -- should ideally
be clear in what they say
Authoritative/Instructional
Communication
Ideally reserved for a discipler or other authority over a disciple.
If the (of age) disciple has not indicated a
willingness and agreement to learn, then this posture should almost never be
assumed by the potential authority.
Competitive
non-Communication
The servant of the Lord is not allowed to
play games and act like they are communicating while actually competing.
To avoid this, the servant of truth is to
stop up a fool’s mouth with judgment.

Who Gets to “Follow Their Own Heart”?

Tongue full of deadly poison << out of

Samuel to Saul – do what is in your heart
Nathan to David – do what is in your heart
Eze_18: & 33 – Get a new heart & a new
spirit
In light of Saul & David, can we say:
Don’t follow your default heart, but only
follow a new heart, if indeed you have it.
Only follow Divinity, if it is indeed in you.
So you quickly and confidently praise your
own heart as new…
Well then, when was the last time you were
wrong?
When was the last time you misunderstood
something?
If I read the Bible to you, would you truly
understand it’s mysteries, or would you have fallible
interpretations of men that is just your own opinion subject to the possibility
of error?
If your heart has ever made a mistake, this
is that imperfect and deceitful heart of evil which you cannot trust to tell
you if you are true.

mat6 do not pray like the nations.... Many words
There is a consistent folly in pagans that fervantly believes that doing the abominable filthy selfish
things that they lust after also pleases their gods. But monotheism is not
pleased by the indulgent lusts you love and are acustomed
to, but demands that you instead hate your soul, deny your selfish ride and
fleshly stregth and prefer crucifiying
your foolish and worthless self rather tham boasting
in it and expressing your satanic heart.
Notice that in the case of prayer, not even
the jewish hypocrites where
so foolish as t multiply their words in prayer, but instead it was the
reputation of pagan gentiles who were seeking a demonic connection wiith satan that spoke so many
words. This proves that our cultures are not even externally monotheistic in
their practices, because we are worse than foolish and ignorant gentiles...

Job_40:1-5 WEB Moreover Yahweh answered
Job, 2
"Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with
God, let him answer it."
3 Then Job answered Yahweh, 4 "Behold, I am of small account. What
shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. 5 I
have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no
further."

Job_40:1-5 CAB (39:31) And the Lord God
answered Job and said, 2 (39:32) Will anyone pervert judgment with the Mighty One?
And he that reproves God, let him answer it. 3 (39:33) And Job answered and
said to the Lord, 4 (39:34) Why do I yet plead?
Being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am
nothing: and what shall I answer to these arguments?
I will lay my hand upon my mouth. 5 (39:35) I have spoken once,
but I will not do so a second time.
Job_42:1-6 WEB Then Job
answered Yahweh, 2
"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours
can be restrained. 3 You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel
without knowledge?' therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I didn't know. 4 You
said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.' 5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you.
6 Therefore I abhor myself,
and repent in dust and ashes."
\/
Job_42:1-6 CAB Then Job
answered and said to the Lord, 2 I know that You can do all things, and
nothing is impossible with You. 3 For who is he that hides counsel from
You? Or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from You? And who will tell me what I knew not, great and
wonderful things which I understood not?
4 But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak:
and I will ask You, and You shall teach me. 5 I
have heard the report of You by the ear before; but now my eye has seen You. 6 Therefore
I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and
ashes.

hands upon your head; for the Lord has rejected your hope, and you shall not

habit of careless, nonsensical talking, is greatly averse to the government of

It often leads to the utterance of what is not strictly true, and thus
insensibly diminishes the regard for truth. It hardens the heart, and nourishes
a trifling, careless spirit. Moreover, if you indulge this habit, your
conversation will soon become silly and insipid...".
Quote:..."...Many people
open their mouths, and set their tongues a-going like the clapper of a
wind-mill, as though the object was, to see how many words could be uttered in
a given time, without any regard to their quality—whether sense or nonsense,
whether good, bad, or indifferent. A tongue, trained up in this way, will never
be governed, and must become a source of great mischief. But accustom yourself,
before you speak, to consider whether what you are going to say is worth
speaking, or whether it can do any mischief. If you cultivate this habit, your
mind will speedily acquire an activity, that will enable you to make this
consideration without waiting so long before answering your companions as to be
observed; and it will impose a salutary restraint upon your loquacity; for you
will find others often taking the lead of conversation instead of yourself, by
seizing upon the pause that is made by your consideration. This will be an
advantage to you, in two ways. It will give you something better to say, and
will diminish the quantity. You will soon perceive that, though you say less
than some of your companions, your words have more weight...".

but Paul says to reject a heretic man, and don't play the word-fighting
games... cut off his heresy; stop up his mouth with condemnation and rejection,
refusing to engage in their shamful games any longer.
The only time to 'interrupt' is when you are ending their social crimes and
refusing to hear the rebellion they build on mindlessness. not
to make another counter point, but to sharply end all cordial comunication.
Jesus commended churches for
not tollerating evil, and rebuked those who tolerated
Jezabelle.
The only time to 'interrupt'
is when it is sinful and defiling to continue hearing and tollerating
lawless speakers.
No wicked thing before eyes
Stop up ears.
Not for avoiding personal,
horizontal offense, and not when it is for the sake of avoiding our own
personal incrimination, but when people are irreverent toward the authority
above.
Not to refuse to hear a mindful appeal that is plausibly worth considering, but to
stop overt foolishness and rediculousness when
perverts glorify disobedience and incite lawlesness, foolhearty lust, rebellion, personal soul worship, Bible disobdience.

Deadly
Declarations!
- i am "here" spiritually,
- i am not tempted by that,
- this
person/ or this thing/ principle is right/ wrong
- do not assert things,
because you are not established yet in what you ought to know
2/11/13
quickly answering a word, means an irrevrent impulse that refuses to be taught or even give
room to the possibility the god may seek to communicate something to you within
the words that you are not taking that seriously
How To Be A Lost, Zealous, Hard-Core Person
·do a lot of
talking
·be very confident
·be convinced that
you have found the answer, and be completly and en th ousi
as tic a lly satisfie d
with it, no matter how natural and fleshly it is
·always be very
confident and never question if you have been approved by God nor waite around to hear his approval
·be quick to assume your own approval, and never let anything get in
the way or slow down your confidence.
·dont be emotionally weak so as to need God s affirmation at every
moment to function, because then you may stall when there is a chance to talk
·spend more time
in the morning thinking of answers to arguments and reading than in actual
prayer and emotionally needing to actually get some where
with God -this is one of your surest ways to go to hell-
·be attracted to
your own soul
·trust in your own
sincerity
·make sure you
dominate the conversation at all times so that you do not ever have to practice
self controle or deny yourself when you can find time
to talk
·always have something to say about every thing
so that you can indulge in the lust of talking and pass it off as proclaiming
truth and being anointed by God to talk.
·never value
anyone elses heart but your own , because caring
enough to search out where someone else is and who they are takes all of the
focus off of your own mouth and diminishes your confidence in believing that
people always need to be listening to you
·never spend too much time emotionally listening to others because
really knowing people confer s too much value on them and makes it seem like
listening to them is more valuable than them hearing you talk.
you dont want them or
yourself to think that they ever have anything better to say than you do,
because it is alway s time for you to talk
Jas Summaries
1 - Slow to speak
Set apart fithyness
Receive with meakness
But be doers of the word… not just hearer
Do not bridle tongue (end)
3 tongue
(Chapter 4 – beginning)
5 don’t swear
Add:
People speak so much because they get a certin satisfaction from it, this
is lustful indulgence, because it is not self denying.
Many people speak about religious things because
they get a personal satisfaction from it, and are not living in self-denyal. Many people even talk harshly against others with
many conspiracy theories and beloved philosophies, but this is self serving and self gratifying.
It is not sacrificial, but an indulging of the god of their own belly.
Why should we do this Bible study? It is not so we
will say what we all already know and believe, but that we listen intently for
spiritual truth to challenge us to examine what we think “we all already know
and believe.”
- At the beginning we are not talking about good
words just yet, but about identifying the sinful words we tend toward, and
charging us to repent of them.

Tit_1:10-13 CAB For there are also many insubordinate, both
idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11
whom it is necessary to shut their
mouths, who overturn whole households, teaching things which they ought not,
for the sake of dishonest gain. 12
There said a certain one of them, a prophet of their own, "Cretans
are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons." 13
This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that
they may be sound in the faith,
>> you will never again open your mouth
>> when God punishes evil people for injustice, the righteous
do not cast in their fool-heart opinion and commentary on the situation, but it
says…

time; for it is a time of evils. 14
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord God
Almighty shall be with you, as you have said,

There was a time when Europeans
thought that Elephants had no knees, and this was quickly repeated and no one
thought that it was necessary to go and look at an elephant before quickly
turning around and repeating this myth as fact in books and publications.
But the Bible has been
speaking against this all along.
This is the same as
gossip, except you are not talking about a person, yet you are still repeating
unconfirmed information which is the same integrity breach that makes people
gossip.
Just because you heard
someone else say it does not mean that you have been commissioned with this
‘quick knowledge’ to go and spread it to others

Even the apostate Jews at the
end of the book of Acts listened to Paul before rejecting the truth. Today's
generations are so entrenched in obstenant
foolishness that we won't even stop to hear something before we
pridefully and confidently think we know enough to
reject it. We are not quicker learners than the ancients. Historically
speaking, we are obviously degrading in our thought capacity. We have no right
to be quicker to answer in our lazy and mindless age than the ancients who knew
far more than we do.
The apostate Jews of Paul's
day had more integrity and honor than virtually all the pastors today have,
because we will not so much has have enough honor and humiility
to stop to listen to a word before foolishly answering and rejecting it.

No ones
blood will be on my hands who stubornly

In our culture we are all
like rude radio show hosts who pretend to extend honor when inviting guests
onto our show, only to rudely cut them short of answering by demanding short
quick and stimulating answers. Anything is slower than what our entertainment
crimes are used to are quickly disrespected and set aside for more fast-passed
entertainment and stimulation.
this rude mockery of communication is wicked and needs repentance to
live.
>> When to end philubustering
- Moses said to stop up
ears and don’t listen to false prophet
- Psa
– ‘stops up his ears from hearing of blood’
There are times to ‘stop
up the [sinning] mouth’ of a philabuster and to ‘not hear
such a one’ any more, *but we need to realize that this is *after* we have
heard what he represents and even more so we need to realize that this is the
last resort when it has come to the point of needing to “reject” such a one.

Isa_6:5-8 CAB And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to
the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a
people having unclean lips; and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of
hosts. 6 Then one of the seraphim was sent to me, and
he had in his hand a coal which he had taken off the altar with the tongs; 7 and
he touched my mouth and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take
away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins. 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold,
I am here, send me. And He said,
Go, and say to this people,

- But we just want to go out and speak and do not care that we
