People on the forum are having discussions about theories, of belief in God. ( scientific theories, and not faith.)
The only true ministry is the one of afflictions, endurance, ( wide path to destruction many are on. Matthew 7:13.) few follow it.
Also, they no longer endure sound doctrine, but they hear these strange type of people, with itching ears, so they hear their fables and turn from the truth by it.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Here is what the fear of the Lord is people, because it stops the ears itching, ( For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. 2 Timothy 4:3.)
It makes the ears calm, easier to hear, and slower to need to speak:
James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
keep the tongue from that evil ( of being quick to speak) and the lips from speaking guile.
The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity, it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
All of the animals have been tamed in the world, but the tongue of man cannot be tamed. Why ? Because it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Psalm 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
James 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
So people who are quick to speak have itching ears, ( otherwise they would be slow to speak) they do not keep their tongue from evil, or their lips from speaking guile.
They also are said to be unruly. They are without the fear of God. ( as to control the tongue is to learn the fear of the Lord.)
Leviathan is the crooked serpent, who is king over all the children of pride, they are all without the fear of the Lord. ( their tongue is set on fire of hell.)
Job 41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
Job 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
God takes away those who rejoice in pride, ( who have Leviathan their king who beholds all things high, over all the children of pride/who are quick to speak, slow to hear.) and then they are no more haughty. ( they learn the fear of the Lord, and do not heap teachers to themselves, having itching ears, turning from the truth, to turn to fables.)
In the middle is left an afflicted and poor people, who trust in the name of the Lord, ( not trusting in the crooked serpent.) they are the remnant who do not do the iniquity of the children of pride, because they do not speak lies, nor have a deceitful tongue.
Zephaniah 3:11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

God takes away those who rejoice in pride, ( who have Leviathan their king who beholds all things high, over all the children of pride/who are quick to speak, slow to hear.) and then they are no more haughty. ( they learn the fear of the Lord, and do not heap teachers to themselves, having itching ears, turning from the truth, to turn to fables.)

13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
