The Curse of the Tongue | Why Are We Tearing Down Our Own?

Let’s stop playing games and talk about what is happening right in front of our faces. We claim a high calling. We wear the fringes, we study the history, we shout from the street corners about who we are, and we boast about being a set-apart people.

But the moment we log onto social media, step into the comments section, or have a public disagreement, or handle frustration behind closed doors, the mask slips.

Our Brothers are calling our Sisters out of their names, using the exact derogatory slurs invented by the nations to degrade them. And our Sisters are turning right around, weaponizing the same toxic, spiteful language to emasculate and tear down the Brothers.

It is hypocritical, it is exhausting, and it has to stop.

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" — Amos 3:3

The Behavior of the Heathen

When you reduce a daughter of Zion to a derogatory label, or when you strip a son of Zion of his honor with worldly insults, you are not acting like royalty. You are acting like a heathen.

Let’s call it exactly what it is. The nations taught us how to hate ourselves. They spent centuries conditioning us to look at one another with disgust, suspicion, and hostility. So when you use that same vile language against your own blood or you own nation, you are simply auditioning to be a tool for the adversary.

• To the Brothers: You cannot claim to be a teacher, a leader, a protector, or the head of your home while your mouth pours out poison against the women of your nation. A king does not trample his vineyard.

• To the Sisters: You cannot claim to be a builder of nations while your tongue acts as a demolition derby for the character of your Brothers. A wise woman builds her house; she doesn’t burn it down with reckless words. “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” (Proverbs 14:1)

If your speech mirrors the worst parts of worldly culture, then your crown is nothing but costume jewelry. You are lingering in the shadows of the nations, repeating their bad habits instead of walking in the light.

A Call to Hebrew Excellence

We are commanded to be a light, which means our standards must be higher. Hebrew Excellence isn’t just about knowing your lineage or memorizing historical dates; it is about how you treat the person standing right next to you. It is about emotional discipline, spiritual maturity, and unyielding self-respect.

If we want to inherit the blessings, we have to start acting like a people worthy of them. That means trading the ghettoized, heathen rhetoric for speech that reflects dignity, honor, and strength.

Let the world argue, degrade, and reduce themselves to animals. That is their portion. Ours is righteousness. It's time to put away the childish, toxic insults, look our Brothers and Sisters in the eye, and demand better from ourselves and each other.

Elohim still loves you, Israel. The call remains the same: Choose Life, Choose Blessing, Choose Undivided Devotion. Repent, Return, and be free from the shadows of gross darkness.
