Words are small and deeds are great in all aspects of human existence. Its more pronounced in Christianity where words are nothing, and deeds are everything.
Words are powerful if they inspire others to happiness or progress.

Yep. You seem to have missed it.

Shrug.

This forum is a wasteland.


Mere words ~ that do not lead to any action or change or improvement or good thing that is actually brought about by some sort of deed or adjustment of one's approach or reappraisal of the situation or adoption of a new perspective [which alters the facts on the ground or alters what is in others minds] ~ are worth what?

Show me some examples of words that are "giant" rather than "small" where they have no consequence that is brought about by those who hear them.

Some of the most powerful words I have heard that inspire others to happiness or progress comes from the mouth of Jesus Christ. Several other great speakers also fall in this class of speakers. But most of the time that happiness or progress is short-lived and fleeting unless these words are transformed into action.

Is this, in fact, clearly true in almost all aspects of life EXCEPT for in the Once-Saved-Always-Saved version of Christian living?
Biblical support :

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. (Romans 2:13 KJV)

More gripping?

Again, why not just remove the question mark and state clearly the allegation you wish to state.

Followed by - "Discuss".

The perspective underlying the question is perfectly clear the way it is written so your suggestion is moot.
