Introduction

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.

It is time to Repent of the Religion that Indulges

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 religion^G1479, false humility^G5012, and severity on the body, but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Greek:

ἐν ἐθελοθρησκίᾳ^G1479 καὶ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ^G5012 καὶ ἀφειδίᾳ^G857 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

Self-Control

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.

The Sin of The Lips

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]

Don't Boast Yourself

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

KJV is very Different:

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.

You Are Commanded Not to speak until You First Actually Listen

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

Confirmed in Sirach

This is reiterated by Joshua (Jesus) the son of Sirach (some time before 175 B.C.) 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

Even Lost People Knew This

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_

[* “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.’

Interrupting is Called “Disorder”

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”)
>> link to WiA

· 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

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.

Filibustering is Sin Too

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_

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_

>> Sync: Pr! & ROW

>> mouths that must be stopped!!!!

Ecc_5:6 CAB Don't allow your mouth to lead you 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.

Ecc_5:6 (5:5) μὴ δῷς τὸ στόμα σου τοῦ ἐξαμαρτῆσαι τὴν σάρκα σου καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι Ἄγνοιά ἐστιν, ἵνα μὴ ὀργισθῇ ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ φωνῇ σου καὶ διαφθείρῃ τὰ ποιήματα χειρῶν σου.

Ecc_5:7 For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words: but you must fear God.

Ecc_5:7 For in a multitude of dreams and in many words there is vanity; rather fear God.

Ecc_5:7 (5:6) ὅτι ἐν πλήθει ἐνυπνίων καὶ ματαιότητες καὶ λόγοι πολλοί· ὅτι σὺν τὸν θεὸν φοβοῦ.

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

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.

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.

Time to speak?

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.

General Passage from James

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.

James Chapter Three

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.

How do you know when you are speaking with the wrong Confidence?

Idle Words

Mat_12:36-37 WEB I tell you that every idle [αργον^G692] 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."

Quick to Hear, Slow to Speak

Jam_1:19 LITV …my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak… [A reference from Sir_5:11; See: Apocrypha_Defense.rtf]

Bridle Tongue

Jam_1:26 MKJV If anyone thinks to be religious among you, yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is vain.

Be Bridled When Around the Wicked

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.

[also see the rest of this chapter about vanity: Psa_39:10-13]

Pro_26:4-5 CAB Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you become like him. 5 Yet answer a fool according to his folly, lest he seem wise in his own conceit.

No “Striving” to Speak

2Ti_2:23-26 – Foolish people have got to be ready to endure and hear a meek voice without interrupting, if they are worthy to be talked to at all...

Tit_3:8-11 CAB Faithful is this word, and concerning these things I want you to strongly affirm, so that those who have believed in God may take thought to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. 9 But avoid foolish [μωρὰς] disputes [ζητήσεις] and genealogies, and strifes [μάχας] and legal fights [νομικὰς]; for they are unprofitable [ἀνωφελεῖς] and futile [μάταιοι]. 10 Reject [παραιτοῦ] a divisive man [αἱρετικὸν] 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_[But See LXX!]

Pro_

For more on how and why ‘we must not talk to perverted fools,’ compare the Bible study entitled, “Embrace Dialogue” (an unfinished work).

Keep Tongue from Speaking Evil

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_

Guard Mouth, Guard Soul

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_

[* “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...

Meditate Instead of Rashly Talking

Pro_15:28 CAB The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness, but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things...

Pro_

Silence Can Make a Fool Look Wise

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_

Keep Your Soul from Trouble

Pro_21:23 CAB He that keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from trouble.

(Much like MT)

Don’t Be Quick to Speak; Don’t be Recognized as a Fool

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.

For Your name has been called upon me, O Lord Almighty. 17 I have not sat in the assembly of them as they mocked, but I feared because of Your power. I sat alone, for I was filled with bitterness. 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.

Pro_12:13-23 KJV The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. 14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. 17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. 21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

Pro_12:12-23 CAB The desires of the ungodly are evil, but the roots of the godly are firmly set. 13 For the sin of his lips a sinner falls into snare, but a righteous man escapes from them. (12:13A) He whose looks are gentle shall be pitied, but he that contends in the gates will afflict souls. 14 The soul of a man shall be filled with good from the fruits of his mouth, and the recompense of his lips shall be given to him. 15 The ways of fools are right in their own eyes, but a wise man heeds counsel. 16 A fool declares his wrath the same day, but a prudent man hides his own disgrace. 17 A righteous man declares the open truth, but an unjust witness is deceitful. 18 Some wound as they speak, like swords, but the tongues of the wise heal. 19 True lips establish testimony, but a hasty witness has an unjust tongue. 20 There is deceit in the heart of him that imagines evil, but they that love peace shall rejoice. 21 No injustice will please a just man, but the ungodly will be filled with mischief. 22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but he that deals faithfully is accepted by Him. 23 An understanding man is a throne of wisdom, but the heart of fools shall meet with curses.

Summaries Conclusions

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 Test of a True Prophet

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!

· In Greek, logos means “word.”

· In the following cases, “reasoned” comes from a compound that includes logos.

· In most of these references the word is, “διαλέγομαι” (dialegomai).

· The implication of this word is, “To speak back and forth or alternately, to converse with, reason, present intelligent discourse,” (Word Study).

Unreasonable: Without Word, Negating Logos

The idea in the following references is a Greek negation (a) plus logos. This teaches that it is evil and bad if people negate talking through things because this is “unreasonable” (literally, without word).

Act_25:27 - Common decision-making

2Pe_2:12 - False brothers / prophets*

Jud_1:10 - False brothers / prophets*

* 2Pe_2:12 / Jud_1:10 – “brute beasts” (KJV) / “unreasoning natural animals” (CAB) = ἄλογα^G249 (áloga): without word

Reason is Not Always Available

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.

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...

Prolonged Waiting, Opens Doors and Defeats 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:

Pro_26:4 CAB Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you become like him.

Jesus’ Silence! – A – Consider all of the Times Jesus Had To Be Silent in His life

Isa_53:7; Act_8:32-33; Mat_26:63, Mat_27:12-14; Mar_14:61, Mar_15:5; Luk_23:9; Joh_19:9; 1Pe_2:23

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!

· 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.

Satan’s Questions of Interrogation

· "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.

Prioritizing Communication

~2009-2013 (See: Getting Synchronized); 2/20/17 (recompiled)…1/8/23

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.

· 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!

Al: Keep Communicating

AlSat 11:01pm(edited)

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.

Giving an answer when called upon

Asking questions when in doubt

Speaking God's words when helped

Slow to speak when reactive

Not giving up (or shutting down) when discouraged

Persisting in petitions when in need

Directing/leading when forced/constrained

Proceeding in fear

Always protecting others

Always believing

Always hoping

Always remaining under & enduring

Proof for Talking Responsibility to Talk

>>> see: Make God Happy (above)

How do I know that this is each speaker’s responsibility?

Because we all need to strive for unity therefore it logically follows that we are each responsible to communicate the burdens of our hearts.

Communication Quirks

Mistakes/Quirks in Speaking

>> ROW | LO>Assuming non-INSP

>> we can shun sin/hypocrisy/flesh

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)

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.

Jud_1:21 LSV keep yourselves in the love of God, ~~waiting for~~ [προσδεχόμενοι] the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [resulting] in continuous life;

Jud_1:21 ἑαυτοὺς ἐν ἀγάπῃ Θεοῦ τηρήσατε, προσδεχόμενοι τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν ᾿Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ, εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

√ -- GNT-V

TSK+: looking: Job_14:14; Lam_3:25-26; Mat_24:42-51; Luk_12:36-40; 2Ti_4:8 [ἠγαπηκόσι τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ]; Tit_2:13-14 [προσδεχομενοι την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν]; Heb_9:28 [ὀφθήσεται (LEX: ὀπτάνομαι ^G3700, but others say LEX: ὁράω ^G3708} τοῖς αὐτὸν ἀπεκδεχομένοις εἰς σωτηρίαν]; 2Pe_3:12 [προσδοκῶντας ^G4328 (i.e. expectantly watch/wait) καὶ σπεύδοντας τὴν παρουσίαν τῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμέρας]

WS on G4328: …to look for. Expect, wait or look for (Mat_11:3; Mat_24:50; Luk_1:21; Luk_3:15; Luk_7:19-20; Luk_8:40; Luk_12:46; Act_10:24; Act_28:6; 2Pe_3:12-14; Sept.: Psa_119:166). In the sense of hope (Act_27:33); with the inf. (Act_3:5).

Whenever you're in the posture of receiving inspiration for yourself, you are so far from assuming it's not elsewhere, that you instead automatically encourage it in others and even cause it to be in others as well.

Moses’ Uncircumcised In Lips

Exo_4:10-13 – I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued

Exo_6:12-13 – MT: uncircumcised lips; LXX: without word / non-word-ish [ἄλογός εἰμι (ABP: ~~not reckoned~~)]

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.”

Peter Didn't Know What He Was Saying

· Mat_17:4 – LSV: we may make three shelters [tents] here

· Luk_9:33 – LSV: not knowing what he says
...μὴ εἰδὼς ὃ λέγει

Not a single word of criticism in the Gospels (except that Peter had a quirk).

2Pe_1:16-21 – Holy mountain… “more firm the prophetic word” (LSV)

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.

Despising & re-Interpreting Are Forbidden

Morality Matters!

The right conclusions about Communication Quirks come from reverently embracing the superiority of Moral Lordship, not the intuitive blasphemies of 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 soul/blood

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 (LXX)

“a bruised reed He will not break”

Mat_12 – Redemptive Mercy Does Not Condemn 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] greater than the temple is here; 7 and if you had known [ἐγνώκειτε (i.e. v.5)] what [this] is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice—you had not [maybe/possibly (ἂν)] condemned [κατεδικάσατε] the blameless* [ἀναιτίους], 8 for the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

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.

· 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.

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

Be Slow to Speak & Quick to Hear

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.

Love and logic has a righteous answer to call us to change.

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

Prioritizing Communication

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.

motioned with hand -unsaved jews had better understanding than we often do -

answer a matter before hear it

do not inter. a man in his speech

Through fidget y ness and fear, it is all to easy to become so quickly discouraged and rashly give up on language and communication when we see the smallest friction

why forgin women are bad at it

but communication is logos, and this is biblical , and we must love it and hate the cheap and fearful way out.

communication means i believe in the possible unity of jesus enough to endure and

Music

physical—

- some people are born more (visually) 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)

play skillfully

tune together rather than all leading at once

goal : do what we can to help, while absolutely refusing to ever allow the despising of doubt

trust is needed

this is not a game or a ceremony, but a per suit of intimacy, corporate faith, and fervency

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

Sir_32:3-12

3 Being older, you may talk; that is only your right,

but temper your wisdom, not to disturb the singing.

Sir_35:3 Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; and hinder not musick.

Sir_35:3 εὐδοκία κυρίου ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ πονηρίας, καὶ ἐξιλασμὸς ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ ἀδικίας.

4 When wine is present,7 [7 [ Sir_32:4] Heb(B) / LXX “Where listening is in order”] do not pour out discourse,

and do not flaunt your wisdom at the wrong time.

Sir_35:4 Pour not out words where there is a musician, and shew not forth wisdom out of time.

Sir_35:4 μὴ ὀφθῇς ἐν προσώπῳ κυρίου κενός· πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα χάριν ἐντολῆς.

5 Like a seal of carnelian in a setting of gold is a concert when wine is served.

Sir_35:5 A concert of musick in a banquet of wine is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.

Sir_35:5 προσφορὰ δικαίου λιπαίνει θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἡ εὐωδία αὐτῆς ἔναντι ὑψίστου.

6 Like a gold mounting with an emerald seal is string music with delicious wine.

Sir_35:6 As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so is the melody of musick with pleasant wine.

Sir_35:6 θυσία ἀνδρὸς δικαίου δεκτή, καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.

7 Young man, speak only when necessary,

when they have asked you more than once;

Sir_35:7 Speak, young man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked.

Sir_35:7 ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δόξασον τὸν κύριον καὶ μὴ σμικρύνῃς ἀπαρχὴν χειρῶν σου.

8 be brief, but say much in those few words, be like the wise man, taciturn.

Sir_35:8 Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.

Sir_35:8 ἐν πάσῃ δόσει ἱλάρωσον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ ἁγίασον δεκάτην.

9 When among your elders do not be forward, and with officials do not be too insistent.

Sir_35:9 If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words.

Sir_35:9 δὸς ὑψίστῳ κατὰ τὴν δόσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ καθ᾿ εὕρεμα χειρός·

10 Like the lightning that flashes before a storm is the esteem that shines on modesty.8 [8 [ Sir_32:10] Syr omits “Like the lightning….modesty.”]

Sir_35:10 Before the thunder goeth lightning; and before a shamefaced man shall go favour.

Sir_35:10 ὅτι κύριος ἀνταποδιδούς ἐστιν καὶ ἑπταπλάσια ἀνταποδώσει σοι.

11 When it is time to leave, do not tarry;

be off for home!

Sir_35:11 Rise up betimes, and be not the last; but get thee home without delay.

Sir_35:11 Μὴ δωροκόπει, οὐ γὰρ προσδέξεται, καὶ μὴ ἔπεχε θυσίᾳ ἀδίκῳ·

12 There take your ease, and there enjoy doing as you wish, but without sin or words of pride.

Sir_35:12 There take thy pastime, and do what thou wilt: but sin not by proud speech.

Sir_35:12 ὅτι κύριος κριτής ἐστιν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν παρ᾿ αὐτῷ δόξα προσώπου.
