Thread of opposites

[jugghead]

WhiteWings proposed "a thread with opposite meanings of a single word"

His first contribution is:

The tongue can both bless and curse

Understood as:
The tongue can be defined as: that which can bless
and also
The tongue can be defined as: that which can curse

Here is a second:

Judgment can both acquit and condemn

Understood as:
Judgment can be defined as: that which can acquit
and also
Judgment can be defined as: that which can condemn

In which the combination of both of these is:

A tongue of judgment can bless/acquit and curse/condemn

Understood as:
a tongue of judgment can be defined as: that which can bless and acquit
and also
a tongue of judgment can be defined as: that which can curse and condemn

In which we also get what the tongue produces; that being words

The tongue can produce words of blessings and words of acquittal
and also
The tongue can produce words of cursing and words of condemnation

 :thumbsup: yes..the double edged sword that comes out ofHismouth..the cloven tongues as fire of the Holy Ghost. the salvation/free gift of righteousness side unto man..

and the condemnation/judgement side unto all the adversary against the will of God that all men be saved.our corrupt image/sin in the flesh condemned to death in all men

as wellas satan/wicked one;and just spirits of all men made perfect[inChrist'simage]

the Harvest..wheat inbarn/tares burned..3 day.plague of death stops at the threshing floor..andwheat[man's spirit] gathered intobarn. chaff/taresburned. :2c:

speech changedinto apure/truth language..not confused unlawful mixing[mis-applying God'sword/judgements

   :thumbsup: Those are very good! I haven't come across any yet.. but I'm keeping my eyes open for them.. I forgot though, until coming to the tent today. It seems like there's quite a few opposites in the Hebrew and Greek.. It's not opposites in a word, but I keep thinking of Deuteronomy when Yhvh told the Israelites, "I set before you this day, life or death.. follow life or follow death.."
