God is Honorable. God does not lie. Given God spoke something, it comes true. The Bible is The WORD of God. Have you ever heard a man say something like "My Word is my bond?" The connotations of Word, is promise and honor.
Israel, in the Old Testament, Israel was different than other nations. All nations had their court sorcerers and wise men. Israel had The Prophets. Starting with Prophet Samuel, there were men God was speaking directly through with a "Thus Saith The Lord." Someone like a Prophet Jeremiah, he may have given many smaller prophecies that had come true during his life time. This may have been part of how Jeremiah's peers may have been able to identify him as a prophet. Someone could fake being a prophet, and be false. In fact, the Bible directly warns us of false prophets, and directly says that God will send false prophets to test. (Deuteronomy 13)
13 [a]If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. 5 That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.
God directly explains that he will send false prophets to test you. God tests the heart. Christians should be vigilant. Given someone did not understand honor, or believed honor to be a "1950's thing and good riddance," they may have had a hard time understanding God. They may have had a hard time seeing and identifying false people.
I am aware of Dr. Jordan Peterson, and some of his lectures. He liked to talk about the false god Marduk. Marduk seemed to have The Power of the Tongue. He spoke "Magic Words." It may be that he was a Son of God. That is a different topic. There is a way to untwist and decipher other religions in the context of Christianity. The Stone Rejected by The Builders Becomes the Chief Cornerstone. (Psalms 118:22) A Builder may have been a teacher of religious law who was building how men perceive themselves and perceive God. (Luke 20:9-19) When we are talking about Spiritual Concepts, these concepts may be able to be seen in other religions to some degree. Satan was a liar with a paintbrush. He painted various spiritual concepts, and entities, into different religions.

Honor. God does not lie. God spoke, and something was created. This is where we derive The Power of the Tongue. God may have been speaking through someone. Christians should be of one mind. (Philippians 2:2) Someone does not have to be a Prophet in Christianity to have developed The Power of the Tongue. Any baptized Christian may be able to do so in their journey of faith.
Learning to develop the Power of the Tongue, it may have started with perceiving God. Your body is a temple. Jesus lives in a man through his Holy Spirit. Someone learns to perceive, to intuitively feel God, like "Going with your gut." He doesn't over think it. He is a doer. He does. He learns to walk in God with no doubt and no fear. No worry.
In this blog, someone reading here may have been taught many of these peripheral concepts. Developing the Power of the Tongue should be part of a man's journey of Faith. To develop the Power of the Tongue, someone was going through sanctification through God's Holy Spirit, they were becoming Holy, and they were aligning their thoughts and words with The Prophets of the Bible. Given someone didn't know, or had nothing to say, he doesn't speak. It is the quiet one's that get them in the end?
Question: How does your writing on this blog reflect The Power of the Tongue?
ReplyDeleteTechnically, I shouldn't be writing, and writing like this holds me back. Someone like Jeremiah had a scribe. There may be reasons for that.
I suppose, to communicate these things, God let go a little. Thus Saith The Lord wasn't getting us places in 2014, and I lost track. God ends up filtered. Sometimes, my words feel like hammers.
Question: How familiar are you with the Talmud?
ReplyDeleteI am aware of it. I haven't studied it. I am aware.
Given someone was a Talmudist, how many times can you find a Rabbi who contradicted the Prophets? Was he prophet? In contradicting the Prophets, he was a false teacher.
The only way to the father is through the son. (John 14:6) Anno Domini, not Common Era, Anno Domini, the only way to develop the Power of the Tongue is through The Lord Jesus Christ.
