Jesus Never Chatted

Since Scripture is replete with the strongest of statements to show that Jesus never deigned to have chatted, this actually is not a thread for The Debate Forum. But, since I am the only one in here who uses Scripture to form my threads, to make statements, and to provide essential information, this will indeed become a debate. Lol.

Jesus is never shown in Scripture to have chatted with anyone. Webster's Dictionary defines "chat. n light, informal talk." Jesus never asked how anyone felt, how their day was going, never complimented them for anything superficial, never said "Please" or "Thanks," never filled in empty conversational spots with inconsequential blather, and never talked about small personal matters.

He followed Scripture as it then existed and as it would be written after His departure:

1.) Matthew 36:12, "But I [Jesus] say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement."

No Scripture says Jesus will ever be judged or have to give an account for anything He did on Earth. Therefore, He never spoke idle words.

2.) Proverbs 10:19, "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin; but he that refrained his lips is wise."

Regarding any given issue, Jesus spoke only briefly, concisely, and germane to the issues dictated by The Father. He never spoke a multitude of words. All He is recorded to have said at any one time can be read within a few minutes, nothing like the 40-60 minutes taken every Sunday by Babbling Preachers.

3.) Proverbs 29:11, "A Fool speaks his whole mind."

Jesus never spoke all that could be said upon any particular topic.

4.) Titus 2:2-6, Aged men, aged women, young women, and young men are all instructed to be "sober."
1 Peter 1:13, 4:7, and 5:8 all have Apostle Peter directing Believers to be "sober."

Jesus is never shown to be joking around to be light, funny, or entertaining.

5.) Galatians 5:22, "The fruit of the Spirit is ... self control."

Jesus had total control of His mouth. He never said, "Oh! Did I just say that!? Oopsey!"

6.) James 1:19, "Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak."

This means Jesus never bounced back and forth in quick chat style like Church people do at their get together times, talking on the phone, and in their bye-bye times after Sunday church service. And, Yes, We all know Jesus did not use a phone.

7.) Proverbs 13:3, "The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin."

This shows Jesus never cracked any big mouthed open laughter, throwing His head back up to the sky.

8.) Proverbs 17:27, "He that has knowledge spares his words."

Jesus spoke very sparingly.

9.) 2 Timothy 2:16, "Shun empty chatter."

Jesus never spoke like a woman, or like a feminized male.

In spite of what the vast majority of active and happy sounding effusive feeling Christians like to think, chatting is not essential for life. And, as such, Jesus was still the literal Life of the Party. People flocked to Him to see and hear Him. Nobody ever rudely told Him to "Lighten up!"

Do you abide in Him? 1 John 2:6, "He that says he abides in Him [Christ] ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked."

Clearly no one ever discussed the idea of "safety word" with him.

How did he get any followers then. It sounds like at social gatherings he would have just stood there and stared. Why would people start to find such non-social behavior to be attractive qualities in a leader?

...

Or it was never written down because, really, why would you bother writing down a chat about what you thought of the food in a religious text? It's bloated enough as it is, you think they're gonna put in inevitable inconsequential conversations?
Are you able to handle what is known to be clearly disclosed within Scripture without first speculating upon what is not disclosed?

Lol. Always looking for drama ...

Are you reading with comprehension, these days? Hope so. It is not antisocial to avoid chatting. Jesus proved that.

Perhaps you are using your own expectations for social behavior to define Christ. Pity. That does not work. He did not exist and live according to the patterns of His contemporaries. John 7:46 has Him descried using the observation, "No man speaks as He speaks."

That's not what is meant..It is encouraged to speak only on important matters. And to speak with knowledge instead of ignorance. This same concept is taught in Islaam aswell, its one of the reasons for making music forbidden.



Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].



And when they hear vain talk, they avoid it, and say, "We have our deeds, and you have your deeds; peace be upon you; we do not desire the ignorant."

Since you use scripture to form your threads, you might be familiar with the one in which we are told that Jesus said and did so many things that had they all been recorded, they'd have more than filled all of the books in the world.

You'll have your looks, your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man

Indeed. You just misquoted and misused that John 21:25 reference. It only refers to Jesus' "deeds," and says nothing about His Words.

Keep bringing your marginal ideas. I am here to help you, unless you are too proud to be helped. Are you?
