Questions about the verses

[Safari]

Please look up verse 10 (KJV) And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

Could be a strutter voice? Interesting. Same with us use hands to speak to deafies or hearies. Moses is just like other disabled people with speech problems.

Let's look at more of the context:

Romans 10:9-11
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

I don't believe this passage means one must physically speak the confession in order to be saved. I believe the point is that the decision in the heart AND the words one speaks (or the signs one uses) must match. That is, if you truly believe in your heart that Jesus is your Savior, you should want to "confess" (meaning tell other people, thru spoken words, or signs, or written notes) that belief. It also means, if you say that you are a Christian, you must also believe that in your heart. Your words/actions must match your beliefs. If your words/actions don't match what is in your heart, then you are either a hypocrite or lying to yourself.

If you are truly saved, you won't be ashamed to let other people know that.
"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."

Micah 7:16
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

This refers to the future time when God miraculously leads Israel back into the Promised Land. The rest of the world will be so shocked and amazed that they won't be able to speak. :jaw:

Do you remember watching the TV news when the WTC buildings were attacked on 9/11? Did you see the people staring up at the buildings in shock? Did you notice that many people covered their mouths with their hands while their eyes showed horror? That is like the verse says, "they shall lay their hand upon their mouth."

They will be in so much shock that they won't notice the sounds happening around them. It will be like "their ears shall be deaf."

Fantastic explaination!! Your point of view is crystal clear!! It makes perfectly sense to me. Thanks so much!!
