| Can a Christian aquire curses spoken by themselves or others? Word Curses? For instance, the Bible says our words bring life or death. Can we, with our tounges, bless and curse ourselves or others? |
| Answer / Solution |
|
| The verse that you speak of is talking about the effects of our words in a relationship. It's not the idea of cursing one another or cursing ourselves. Our words can bring life or death to a relationship. If we speak words of blessing then the relationship can prosper. The idea of exhortation (to build up) comes to mind here. We want to encourage each other in the truth. If we always speak words of discouragement then its difficult to see that relationship grow together. The author of the Psalm is telling us that what we say does impact our relationships with others and can even affect our relationship with Him if we tell ourselves lies. |
