Hello, John and Doves,

 

While we are in this "waiting room" called Earth, waiting to be called up,

I believe we should make the most of things, including keeping other people's spirits up.

(Whew!  Them's a lot a commas, ain't they?  Yes, yes, I know my grammar needs tweaking.)

 

To that end, let's read a little on the King James word, "incontinent," in 2 Timothy 3:3.

II Timothy 3:1: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
II Timothy 3:2: For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
II Timothy 3:3: Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
II Timothy 3:4: Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
II Timothy 3:5: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

 

From Wikipedia:  Incontinence (philosophy)

 

Use "incontinent" in a sentence

(with a paraphrase of its meaning in the second sentence):

 

    Wouldn't you say, Captain, that the POTUS on planet Sol3 is verbally incontinent?  Of course, logically, his unchecked verbiage is simply an outgrowth of that era's postmodern discourse, is it not?

  (I lifted the phrase "postmodern discourse" from the Wikipedia article, don't you know.)

 

How do we know that those who call themselves believers, and yet will not repent of verbal incontinence [Is it true, kind, and necessary?] won't be in the Rapture?

 

Seriously, you've NEVER heard of "Incontinental Spacelines," have you?

 

~Blessings,

Mike
