Could i have a little help finding scriptures that relate to the tounge?

[Jonathan1515]

Hi what's up guys. I"m lutheran and i'm 16. I was wondering if i could have some help finding scriptures that talk about the tounge(not the tounge itself, no autopsy report, but you get the picture)

See with all the crap that's out there i seriously think i'm getting a little to comfortable when people swear and cuss and i sometimes find myself saying it. But i read on of your guys signatures that had a scripture saying something about about how if one say's he is religious but does not bridle his tounge his religion is nothing. It really got me thinking because i kinda have an anger problem and that combined with swearing dosn't turn out so good. Can someone please help me find some scriptures?

Jonathan,

Here are a few scriptures that deal with this subject.
Eph 5:3-4
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

James 3:10-12
10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Usually foul language is just a reflection of a deeper problem. In other words, it is the effect of sin, not the cause. It never ceases to amaze me how some who call themselves Christians can let loose with a string of obcenities that would make a sailor blush. How does that sound to the non-believer? Does it in any way bring glory to our Father in heaven or reflect Him in a positive light?

Ps 19:14
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Blessings.....Pastorjim

There are many verses about the tongue..and partner I have done many studies on the tongue..

Here are a few of my favorites..

James 3:2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.


Psalm 34: 12What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.


The anger..I had a horrible anger problem ..last year the Lord delievered me totally..When it nearly cost me my job..I learned to humble myself..Some have to spend a few days in jail even..but the Lord will deliver us out of it my freind. I'm actually shocked mine has left..I had a women call me up the other day and royally reem me out..from a 0-10 my anger maintained at a zero..she felt totally embarrassed to find out she had the wrong number..The Word says to be angry and sin not..Certainly there are things to be angry at but fits of rage are very much immature...and usally a learned behavior. This year I've had more peace than ever..being free from fits of rage is absolutely wonderful.I used to have a 1/4 inch fuse..now it's a mile long..The Lord honestly has set me free..maybe it's getting older..I really don't know..but things don't bother me like they used to..I'm 55 by the way..I will be praying for you..I know how you feel..know that God loves you and will greatly help you in this area if you sincerely want His help..

God bless,

[Jonathan1515]

Thanks so much! Yes i do seriously want jesus, especially when i know what will happen to people who are lost.

[Chuck7]

your quite welcome..one of the biggest hinderances to Christians Jonathan is that they hang around things they ought not..
We are known by the company we keep..and the internet has made it possilble to go anywhere your heart desires..The Lord copmmands us to separate ourselves from the world and then He will live in us and be a Father unto us.

Sounds legalistic..but it 's simply a Christian law...just like the law of gravity..Light and darkness can not dwell together..

Here's where I'm coming from..
2 Cor. 6:14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.


and another..
Phil.4;6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
God bless,

My friend..according to these verses..NO MAN can control the tongue..only God can do that through us.

James 3:7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

[IL_ray_phillips]

Mat 15:10Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand.
Mat 15:11What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.
'Mat 12:36But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
Who where we created in the image of?
Gen 1:27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
How does God create?
Gen 1:3And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
Gen 1:6And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.
"Gen 1:9And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.
Gen 1:11Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.
God created by speaking! If we are created in his image then when we speak there is power in our Words!
Pro 18:21The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
So then we look at this!
Rom 10:17Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
So if we take the Words Jesus spoke and put them inside us we recieve this!
Jhn 15:3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
1Pe 4:11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Our words must be led by the spirit as Christ words were!
Jhn 12:47"As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.
Jhn 12:48There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.
Jhn 12:49For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.
Jhn 12:50I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

And us!
1Cr 2:13This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
Jhn 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him].
Luk 12:11"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,
Luk 12:12for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say."
