What does this scripture speak to you? Or should I say what is it referring to?
Proverbs 18:21 KJV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
I don't know, just wondering what your thoughts are?
I believe it means, that what you say, will bear fruit for life or for death. I'm not certain what "it" is referring to. Perhaps if you love the fruit of life you will eat the fruit of life; and if you love the fruit of death, you will eat the fruit of death.
This is why I placed him on Ignore.
Because not only have I given him a second admonition (after which it says to reject a man for his heresy, since he is self-condemned); but to continue in a discussion with him will only result in both of us saying things that bear fruit for death; and in such a case we would both eat the fruit of what we are speaking forth with our tongues.
I know that I am not completely blameless in my exchanges with him recently.
But I do know that my hope is in what Jesus did for me on the Cross and that my sins are underneath the blood.
Therefore, if anyone wants to dredge up what is underneath the blood, they are seeking to accuse as the accuser of the brethren, seeking condemnation for the soul of whom they are attempting to accuse; and in effect are accusing Jesus Christ Himself.
This is why it is my righteousness, which is of the Lord, that I am able to condemn
@BreadOfLife's tongue for that it rose up against me in judgment (see Isaiah 54:17).
