Mathematics, music and linguistics are universal languages. Each has it's own rules. A speaker using English grammar with Spanish syntax will be unable to communicate. Similarly, applying mathematical rules to a linguistic language causes confusion. The same rules do not apply in Mathematics and Afrikaans.
A double negative does not always equal a positive. For example, in multiplication two negatives cancel. Negative one times negative one equals positive one. Negative two plus negative two equals negative four. The negatives do not cancel. A double negative does not always equal a positive.
Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.
Thessalonians 5:20-21 English Standard Version

Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:19–22 NIV
Neither of these interpretations are double negatives. To "not despise" or not treat with contempt, are not the same as saying every prophecy is worthy of consideration. Rev. Jim Jones's prophecies suggest we should have killed ourselves long ago. Does Rev. Shaver think Rev. Jones prophecy useful?

I recently heard a penis shepharding his sheep to the next slaughter. He claimed that two negatives equal a positive. He suggested that if one is to not despise prophecies, and not treat prophecies with contempt, one ought to be mindful of prophecies. Wrong.
There are many prophecies which, when subjected to the most basic examination, can be easily rejected without much thought. Much thought being my thought, not yours. What evangelicals think passes for 'thought' is simply the lock step goose stepping of misinterpreted gospel.
One might argue that American Protestant evangelicals have won the War in America. If so, they di'd so by becoming anti-catholic, and anti-Christian. American Protestant evangelicals are rapidly becoming the anti-Christ against which they so vehemently warned. The slaughter the European Catholics visited on the European Protestants required the European Protestants to do their next foe one 'better'.
“To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.” ― Sun Tzu
Now, in America, Protestant evangelicals are trying to get even. Evangelicals are using false gods to wage a war of retribution against not just Catholics, but also visit new wars on Muslims, homosexuals, atheologists, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and whoever else they can label as the enemy. This fills the coffers, political and religious.
For millennia you have been brainwashed to hurt yourselves. I (Brandi) have not had the tools to explain to you how misguided you are. I am slowly, and carefully, learning how to operate the levers and Nobs. The first step is identifying the Nobs. The next step will be installing them. The last step that never ends will be making sure the Nobles understand O thinking.
In the meantime, you would do well to not judge. Do not judge other's sexual activities. Do not judge other's religious practices. Do not judge others race. If you do, I will judge you.
If you think we're at war,
you've already lost.
