cussin' n' cursin'

Jesus on Cussing and Cursing, Part 2 « As a Blog Returns to its Vomit - hahahahah, good point!

matthew 15, 11, 15-20.... Jesus tells the disciples that it's not what goes in the mouth, but what comes out of it that defiles.... but the way in which He responded (rather 'vulgarly', shockingly) defines exactly what is - and is not - the kind of stuff comin' out that He means..... (follow the link above to get the greek word breakdown)

my version:

Jesus says, hey peeps, it ain't what goes in yer mouth that mucks ya up, doncha know!!!

the people say, eh?

so Jesus says, what are ya clueless, still? cancha tell that what goes in yer mouth jus' gets turned into goo, man, an' it gets dropped in the crapper?! man, its the junk that comes out of yer mouth that makes ya dirty, boy, cuz it just goes to show the evil crap in yer heart.... that's what mucks ya up.

to me, its the heart of the person.... wickedness? murder? adultery? sexual immorality? theft? lies? slander? not so much cussin'.... cuz we all know we can have wickedness, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, lies and slander in our hearts....and not cuss.

where's God's priorities? truth, righteousness, love.... and sometimes He told us that in a way that offended the religious folk.

digest that!

Outcast, Adopted.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
