“ and the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity “. So is the tongue among our members,
that it defiles the whole body,and sets on fire the course of nature; and it( the tongue)
is set on fire of hell(GK. Gehenna).
It is the “words” that are spoken by the tongue that will come into judgement.
Matt 15:18:20
But those things that proceed out of the mouth,come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,adulteries,fornication,, thefts,false witness,
blasphesimes; these are things which defile the man.
Matt 12:36
But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account
thereof in the day of judgement.
Matt12:34
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaks.
Jer 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
Ray,,,,,” The apostle James proves all that Jesus said with regards to Gehenna hell fire.
How is the tongue set on fire by Gehenna? The answer is found in the whole chapter starting
with vs.1.
James 3:3
A literal very small bit in a horses mouth can turn the whole body of the beast with
very little effort.
Ray,,,”And James informs us that no one can tame this little monster called the tongue, for if he
could than he would be a perfect man and able to bridle ( control) the whole body
1Corth.13
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have Love, I am only
a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
1Peter 2:15
For it is God’s will that by doing good ,you shall silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.
