3 Ways Words Hurt More than Sticks and Stones (Session 11, James 3:1-12) Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Whoever first spoke this “back-at-you” proverb probably did so after being stung by someone else's words. The truth is, words often do hurt.
“Reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Proverbs 12:14.
"Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly." "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." "A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention."
1. God himself will kill tens of thousands if it pleases him: 1st Samuel 6:19 in the King James Version: “And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men (50,070)”. Kill 50 000 men for looking at something? 2.
A: You're right, up to a point, anything we do that hurts others is a sin in God's eyes. If you look at what is forbidden by the Ten Commandments, for example, you'll discover that most things on the list deal with sins that hurt others -- murder, lying, stealing, adultery, and so forth.
“Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.”
The verse in the Bible that most Christians make reference to is Leviticus 19:28, which says,"You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord." So, why is this verse in the Bible?
Lashon hara (or loshon horo) (Hebrew: לשון הרע, "evil tongue") is the halakhic term for derogatory speech about a person, which emotionally or financially damages them or lowers them in the estimation of others. Lashon hara is considered to be a very serious sin in the Jewish tradition.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
Weird insults and curses. Awkwardly useless commandments. Silly food rules. Holy hangups about genitals. God's temper tantrums. Times when the Bible God is worse than Satan. Instructions for slave masters. Bizzare death penalties.
“God wants us, His people, to forgive those who hurt us. So many people ridiculed and hurt Jesus, but He forgave them,” says Kaci, 11. If anyone deserved vindication, it was Jesus on the cross.
The term lashon hara is not mentioned in the Tanakh, but "keep thy tongue from evil" (נְצֹר לְשֹׁונְךָ מֵרָע) occurs in Psalm 34:14.
The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
The Good News: God rewards those who work hard, and that can come in a variety of ways. But if you continue to put in a solid work ethic, you deserve whatever is outcome. "Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us, yes, establish the work of our hands!"
As Children of God, our tongues have a lot of power. Proverbs 18:21 confirms this by saying, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." Proverbs 13:3, “Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life, he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin."
By the Bible, Envy is a sin. It says nothing of jealousy. A surprising amount of people can't grasp the difference. For people who don't need to follow scriptures to live, there is no such thing as sin, there is only societal law and our personal sense of morality.
2 Corinthians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 9.
For some, sexless unions can last a lifetime, but for others be intolerable after two weeks. Couples don't like to discuss this openly because they're under the impression other couples are having sex all the time.
Although a sexless marriage is not listed in the law as a ground of fault for absolute divorce or divorce from bed and board, it can be strong evidence for a court to find constructive abandonment.
Leviticus 19:16) There are quite a few mitzvos that involve gossip and slander. Collectively, such evil speech is known as lashon hara (which literally translates as “evil speech”). This particular form of smack talk, however, is called rechilus – “talebearing” or gossip.
Under this interpretation, tattooing is permitted to Jews and Christians. Others hold that the prohibition of Leviticus 19:28, regardless of its interpretation, is not binding upon Christians—just as prohibitions like "nor shall there come upon you a garment of cloth made of two kinds of stuff" (Lev.
Christians can dye their hair. There is nothing wrong with changing the color of your hair. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 31:30, “beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Our worth should be found in the Lord, not the color of our hair.
Actually no. The bible never mentions left handedness as a sin. TLDR: There are several biblical references to left handedness and the skill of those who possessed the trait. Upon looking at the literary and historical context, the negative depiction of left handedness in the Bible can be identified as purely symbolic.
Underneath the "Pay to the Order Of" is a line for writing out the payment amount. In this case, you'll need to write "Two thousand" and then add either no cents, xx/100 or 00/100.
2, in. is the abbreviation for inch. You could write either 5'5", or 5 ft. 5 in. I prefer five feet five inches, but I hear five foot five inches probably more than I hear feet, in common usage.
