My Beloved, I sincerely would like your response or reaction to this.
How many lashes did our Lord JESUS the Christ bear for us? Clue is it was close enough to bring HIM to death. So why are we still lashing out to folks around us with our tongues or degrading them? Can we agree to be slow to speak to avoid this?
Please read James 3:1-12 and other verses below
Deuteronomy 25:1-3
1 When people have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty.
2 If the guilty person deserves to be beaten, the judge shall make them lie down and have them flogged in his presence with the number of lashes the crime deserves, 3 but the judge must not impose more than forty lashes. If the guilty party is flogged more than that, your fellow Israelite will be degraded in your eyes.
Proverbs 18:21
21 The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
