And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. — James 3:6

Yes it does Megala. And it does it to the person speaking and receiving the words. If you are receiving unkind words you feel bad. If you speak them, you might not feel bad in the moment but will feel bad later for saying it. Thank you for your insight. God Bless you:):)

Sigh… one of the great struggles of the Christian’s life on this side of eternity… controlling one’s words. Excellent and challenging Scripture, dear Margaret! <3

I always wonder what makes it so hard when I know how God wants me to act, and yet, there I go, off the path. He is always faithful to nudge me back in the right direction. God Bless you Lynn. It’s always a pleasure hearing your thoughts.

I’d cut off some tongues here on WP, but sadly we can’t block…

I thought I saw a block somewhere, and I checked after I replied to you. In my comments que, there is a tab to the right of the comment box( I am using a laptop, don’t know if it is different for different devices) there is a “user info” tab. If you click that it has the users info, and a “block user” tab.

don’t know, i’ll think about it. I read on wordpress-forum that to block isn’t so easy, bcz u r blocking by IP address. And kinda it can affect ur other followers.
Anyway I’ll check it one more time.
