CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We are FILLED by the fruit of our lips too, heres a wholesome tongue
Prov 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
This is my favorite study
Psalm 50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
You can do a search on "conversation, communication", lips, tongue, tongues etc
Even do a search for FILLED BY, BEING FILLED
What comes OUT goes enters back IN, the tongue is that which defileth the whole body or the man as Jesus said. Thus receiving IN themselves by thy WORDS
James got this, is why he said bless do not curse
Because look...
Psalm 109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

He misquoted. It is Proverbs 21:23 Methinks, it happens to a lot of people. Nothing big.

You're right. I found it. He meant chpt 18 instead of 8, IOW, Proverbs 18:21.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. Prov 18:21 NASB

Hi Jason, you meant Proverbs 18:21, yes? If so, do you have a question or a comment for discussion about the verse?
