| So, don't put your words into my mouth! |
I
am responsible for what I have said or written,
I'm
not responsible for what you understand what
I have said or written; words do have precise meanings in their context.
Let
there be no misunderstanding.
Thank you.
A
wise thing to do is, FIRST understand what a man has said before you express
your disagreement.
A
fair, wise, and apt counsel:
"People
who make statements which they have not thought through themselves would be
better keeping their mouths shut until light dawns."
~~
Dr George Ella.
I
learned this basic truth when I first started on my journey of self-learning
many years ago.
Let
me give you a hilarious example:
It's
so easy to hear someone wrongly. I'll give you two examples.
I
have said something to this effect, "Being baptized and remaining unchurched
(not a member of a local church of Jesus Christ) is a monstrosity not known in
the NT."
Some
kind souls think I am calling such believers in Jesus Christ monsters! 😢😢😢
I
have said, "Zoom becomes a curse if people use it as a substitute for
assembling with the saints for worship." Sincere folks thought I said Zoom
itself is a curse thing and is evil, etc. 😢😢😢
