Why would God bring back "every idle word" ?

Probably part of it is to vindicate that nobody got away with anything.
He warned and many scoffed.
He warned and many laughed, scoffed, shook their heads that people could be so gullible and superstitious.

Jesus said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
It was once a proverb among the older folks "Everything in you is gonna come out sometime."

If you can speak. Somewhere what is in your heart will proceed out through your lips. Every idle word brought back to a man as to what he uttered God can do with infallible accuracy.

As great as His willingness to forgive, pardon, redeem, and forget, SO GREAT also is His infallible ability to account for every second of our thoughts and words. He is God. It can work for us or it can work against us depending on where we are with Christ and His redeeming work on Calvary.

People wear masks in 'the real world' too, so it is not always easy to differentiate. I just think in the virtual world we are less likely to get the full picture of someone's personality. Perhaps it is the lack of body language and facial expressions, compromised by anonymity and an increased desire to be interesting. I have a cousin who is very outspoken on social m ...[text shortened]... definitely have to own what we post here, but will never really see a persons complete personality.

if you want to talk about God.

God spoke, let there be light and there was light. He brought forth the world from his words and He made us in His image.

The passage you refer to is about human nature- people saying what they think the other people want to hear and in some cases they don't mean a word of it. It still illustrates who they are. Liars, clearly.

Do you have any examples of less developed countries being less easily influenced?

Actually in the passage quoted from the bible, only one is a liar. The other is honest.

Oh yes. In less developed countries we have more problems to deal with so actors, celebrities, politicians and other famous people's lives mean nothing to us. Apparently this is big business in your neck of the woods

@yo-its-me said
correct.

Umm really? I don't live there, you do or you say you do. Maybe you're right (?) So do you have any examples then?

@yo-its-me

Is everything you've written in these forums a direct representation of who you are Sonship?

Because not everything you've written was kind.

I am all around a sinner saved by grace. Did I say otherwise?

Actually, I am much worse at misspeaking then you could ever know.

I am the same where ever you meet me, that's me.

I'm not inferring that your cousin is a criminal, but I do find it odd that they can be two persons. Which is the 'real' one?

I agree body language can say a lot.
A certain wry smile at a comment can tell me a lot about where someone is at with the conversation.
But when all we have is words, all the more reason to be precise and measured.
For work, for example, I don't use exclamation marks and my explanations can become wordy as I make sure the meaning is conveyed.

What is it you are questioning, whether or not LDCs have more problems to deal with?

I have noticed that people in more advanced developed countries tend to be more easily influenced by what a man says, how a man looks and his overall outward personality. However this is often deceptive and incorrect

Examples of that ^^^^

Are you struggling to follow our conversation?

But what if your true personality is succinct and confident and by adapting this for the internet (by being deliberately wordy) you are altering the way your personality is received by others?
