The way we can see how Jesus spoke for only a few short minutes on any one topic is to get a little stopwatch, then use it to time the normal speaking speak while reading each of the topics Jesus spoke on. Sound like a good idea for someone who really wants an answer to the question about how much time He took? However, nobody ever does this, because there is too much pride and laziness in the Body, these days.

Please go ahead and notice that John 21:25 is referring to "other things which Jesus did," not the Words He spoke. Those are two different things, regardless of how creative people try to be to "rightly divide" Scripture.

It it, or is it not, a hermeneutic principle not to use a singular verse of singular word to devise a Theologic Doctrine? Got a yes or no answer ... ? (Much bigger smile.)

The context of the entire Proverbs 10 verses speaking about humanly spoken words does in no way alter the meaning of the properly translated word, #7230, "rob," abundance, great, huge, long, many, host, multitude, plenty. Or, maybe you can show how the context, by "rightly dividing," does indeed alter that translation ... ?

Any preacher who exhibits in his preaching the clear meaning of #7230 "rob" is indeed sinning. If you have a problem with that, do not argue with me. Talk to God about it.

I sense you are reluctant to see Scripture by mere observation, without adding your own expectations to it. May I pray for you about that ... ?
