COMMON SPEECH & COMMON LANGUAGE
Speech is the words that come out of our mouths. Language is the meaning of the words that come out of our mouths. Now when God asked Cain "If you do what is right will you NOT be accepted?" how should Cain answer if he wants to be accepted? NO! Adding NOT to a question makes your yes mean no and your no mean yes. If God had asked "If you do what is right will you be accepted?" the correct answer would have been YES!
Now if I ask you "Did you see that RedBird?" and you did not see it and answer "I saw nothing." when you actually saw the trees, grass, and other birds you have lied to yourself because you saw something and said you saw nothing and you are not yourself. You are you and yourself is yourself and you can only be at one place at one time. And I am a Lunatic... I am glad he is not.
