Bro Jim

Of those that believe in the tongue thing, "In a meeting of different language, (Spanish, Russian, Korean, etc.) have you ever heard someone stand up and speak in English?" I have of yet received a yes answer. Would it not be an unknown tongue in that setting?

James 3:5 To try and keep it cool.

What an idiotic, imbecilic, moronic, stupid, nonsensical, politically correct thing to say.

But all kidding aside, if we set out to harm with the tongue then isn't it wrong? Why did God put it in a pool of water?

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Dear Lord how wicked will we become before you come?

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
We are living in the time of e-mail (and blogs, texts and Tweets) and the more common use of the written language, it is time for an English lesson.
So, with tongue firmly in cheek, here are some rules to keep in mind when using the Queen's Engerlish:

1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat).
6. Always avoid annoying alliteration.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually unnecessary).
9. Also, too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
10. No sentence fragments. No comma splices, run-ons are bad too.
11. Contractions aren't helpful and shouldn't be used.
12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. One should never generalize.
15. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
16. Don't use no double negatives.
17. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be ignored.
21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.
22. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
23. Kill all exclamation points!!!!
24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
25. Understatement is prOBably not the best way to propose earth shattering ideas.
26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.
27. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.
29. Puns are for children, not groan readers.
30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
31. Who needs rhetorical questions?
32. Exaggeration is a million times worse than understatement.
33. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

I might add, "the authority of God's Word"

I have asked this question, of those that believe in the tongue thing, "In a meeting of different language, (Spanish, Russian, Korean, etc.) have you ever heard someone stand up and speak in English?" I have of yet received a yes answer. Would it not be an unknown tongue in that setting?

I once was asked by a family in the church what I would do in the situation of someone standing up in the church and doing that "speaking in tongues". It turned out that they had an uncle coming in from California and he was speaker in tongues (turns out had lots of money and was very big in his church and community) and was going to come to church with them. My answer was simple and polite, "I would ask him to stop and sit down." They followed up with, "What if he doesn't?", again with kindness I responded, "Then I will tell him to sit down and and shut up." They went o the next level, "What if that does not stop him?" With all the politeness I could muster I responded, "Then I am going to look at you and tell you to remove him!"

I believe these things are gone. As to the miracles of healing I believe this still exist, when done Biblical, James 5:14 as we pray God's will be done. For it is not allows God's will to heal. Divine healing, yes. Divine healers No.

As we see Paul write/speak on these things at this time in his ministry, he was blessed with these gifts, but they disappeared even in his ministry. At the start of his ministry he had the power to heal, but at the end he could not heal even those that worked with him.

Prophecy meaning forth telling, not predicting the future. 1 Co 14:3
1917 Scofield Reference Bible Notes
1Co 14:11 ratherThe subject is still the pneumatika. Chapter 12, described the gifts and the Body; Chapter 13. the love which alone gives ministry of gift any value; Chapter 14. regulates the ministry of gift in the primitive, apostolic assembly of saints.

(1) The important gift is that of prophecy (1Co 14:1)). The N.T. prophet was not merely a preacher, but an inspired preacher, through whom, until the N.T. was written, new revelations suited to the new dispensation were given 1Co 14:29-30.

(2) Tongues and the sign gifts are to cease, and meantime must be used with restraint, and only if an interpreter be present 1Co 14:1-19,27-28.

(3) In the primitive church there was liberty for the ministry of all the gifts which might be present, but for prophecy more especially 1Co 14:23-26,31,39.

(4) In such meetings, when "the whole church" came together "in one place," women were required to keep silence 1Co 14:34; 11:3-16; 1Ti 2:11-14.

(5) These injunctions are declared to be "the commandments of the Lord" 1Co 14:36-37.

For some clarification on terminology:

Webster's 1828 Dictionary [K-Z]
lotLOT, n.

1. That which, in human speech, is called chance, hazard, fortune; but in strictness of language, is the determination of Providence; as, the land shall be divided by lot. Num. 26.

2. That by which the fate or portion of one is determined; that by which an event is committed to chance, that is, to the determination of Providence; as, to cast lots; to draw lots.

The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Prov. 16.

3. The part, division or fate which falls to one by chance, that is, by divine determination.

The second lot came forth to Simeon. Josh. 19.

He was but born to try the lot of man, to suffer and to die.

4. A distinct portion or parcel; as a lot of goods; a lot of boards.

5. Proportion or share of taxes; as, to pay scot and lot.

6. In the United States, a piece or division of land; perhaps originally assigned by drawing lots, but now any portion, piece or division. So we say, a man has a lot of land in Broadway, or in the meadow; he has a lot in the plain, or on the mountain; he has a home-lot, a house-lot, a wood-lot.

The defendants leased a house and lot in the city of New York.

To cast lots, is to use or throw a die, or some other instrument, by the unforseen turn or position of which, an event is by previous agreement determined.

To draw lots, to determine an event by drawing one thing from a number whose marks are concealed from the drawer, and thus determining an event.

LOT, v.t. To allot; to assign; to distribute; to sort; to catalogue; to portion.




Webster's 1828 Dictionary [K-Z]
lotteryLOT'TERY, n. See Lot.

1. A scheme for the distribution of prizes by chance, or the distribution itself. Lotteries are often authorized by law, but many good men deem them immoral in principle, and almost all men concur in the opinion that their effects are pernicious.

2. Allotment. Not used.

Amen,, Halleluiah

U.S. Public schools:
Rebellion and dishonor that which is right. "Biblical Christianity."

No prayer, Bible, sanctity of life.

To include, "self esteem", paganism, nanny state, no consequences for sin.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

The cross stands for equality.

Again an example of the intolerance toward Christianity and anything that symbolizes it.

Here are a couple of articles that are of great interest.

Just Thinking:


Genius is perseverance in disguise

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say,
"Well, she looks good, doesn't she?"

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.

Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you, at 85 years old, to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

Well coc, I reckon we all are on our way to eternity that you have decided we are on our way to.

The thing is I am going to rely on what I BELIEVE in to get me there. The question was asked, and reading the thread, I believe we have answered the ? Biblically. You don't want to accept the answer, I sure cannot make you accept it.

Like it or not, cause I'm not asking you if i can. I am praying for you.

I know, it seem that a lot of "Christians" are taking the JW's view that things are going to get better and better until He comes. Well it aint, and I pray He come right now. If He does (looking up) I'll be last on this thread and we will go together to meet Him in the clouds.

One of the things I have noticed here in Alb. NM. is the new idea of the house church. The same bunch that started the emergent church movement is now pushing the home groups (not churches) idea, lots of little groups meeting with teachers and by passing the need for a pastor or a church. I think even Barna is pushing this.

Even though Jesus was a carpenter, He used farming and husbandry terms more than carpentry. Interesting?

Oh no! Brother Matt made the 1st post in this topic, and his post will always be 1st, while all other will come only after his 1st post made back on 10th of August 2004.


Maybe its kin to the bunny rabbit that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, that keeps on going, and going, and going, and going and going, and going, and going, and going, and going and going, and going, and going, and going, and going and going, and going, and going, and going, and going and going, and going, and going, and going, and going and going, and going, and going, and going, and going and going, and going, and like the bunny rabbit, never stopping.

Chevy1958, AMEN AND AMEN. and Thank you.

A Frito is a Frito, a corn based chip, that used to be advertised by using the Frito Bandito.

Recipe:
Fritos
Chili
Cheese

In a pan, a layer of Fritos, and cover with shredded cheese, cover with chili, (canned( shrugg of shoulders), or my wife's recipe ), layer of Fritos and cheese, put in an oven at 350 degrees (F) until cheese melts, and then .

If I could have only 1 Book, the KJB covers it all.

Those verses are not in the oldest manuscripts. That's the controversy.

Also: Good to see you around again, brother.
God bless,
