Cursing Christians

Postby **Shellie** » February 4th, 2008, 3:57 pm

With the little guys at school, the "S" word is stupid, the "D" word is dummy, the "F" word is fart. I don't know why I posted, just seemed to fit here somehow.

What ever happen to when you tried to be more like Christ, then to see how close we can be like the world and not feel guilty? Not going to stay around and lession to some one sound like the devil and talk about Christ.

So are you saying all other words but "Yea and Nay" are cuss words?

See...Dewayne doesn't let evil come out of his mouth. The rest of you need to be more like him.

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Oletimer, this verse alone doesn't really address the subject at hand.

Some how I believe that you know better. Maybe you tell us what Christ meant when He said this.

Before I got saved, I could meet a sailor face to face. Now I want to please God in word and deed. Yes when I first got saved, I had trouble at times with a couple of words, but I kept going back to the Advocate till I got victory over them. But isn't that what we are taught to do in the bible? Victory isn't as easy as acceptance, but a whole lot sweeter. Words are just that, "words". It is the intent from the heart that makes a different. If you are in a country that have words that are different from our and used in the same way as some of ours, then don't be a reproach. Our words are evidence of what is in our heart.

Go ahead and enlighten us. Maybe you can do it without preaching a sermon.

Oletimer, wait, are you telling me that you want to put out a scripture and apply it to a conversation and you want FQ and myself to explain what it meant?

To me, I can't explain what you are trying to say because that scripture doesn't apply to the conversation. Honestly, I don't know how that applies to the conversation at all.

So, since you are the one using it, feel free to explain it to us.

Thanks

Mr. Danger with all do respect that verse has a lot to say about this. As do others. In other words let your conversation be to the point, avoid things that can cause offense. If you couple that with other scriptures that have been posted it shows that we are to guard our conversation. It does seem like many want to get as close to being the world with Christ in the other hand. I am finding nothing is wrong anymore. Drinking, cursing, smoking, drugs, divroce/remarriage, homosexuality. These things are all finding themselves a part of more and more denominations. I know this will get tore apart but living without "condemnation" does not mean to except all sins and say we are covered.
Blast away I will duck the bullets while i run the isle with my flag :lol:

Is it a sin to Cuss? I don't think so but should we as Christians cuss No.

I think that the problem is as soon as a Christian says a Cuss word everyone begins to Question his Christian Walk. Both Christians and Non Christians.

While I won't question someones heart, esp over saying a word. Like what was done on the show, but when it comes to Dog and the things we have on his show I do have some questions. I heard the language as well as going to strip clubs, Hiring strippers and his sons "getting" with srippers to me if that is going on it may not crossed the line into sin you are very close to it.

hey rappers say "thank the lord" when they win awards. Yet they rap about murder,sex, violence etc. There has to be a limit.
I love the show "dog" but i class that the same as the rappers. Anyone can say a prayer and mention christ but it does not make them saved and does not mean there testimony is a good thing. As I said rappers do it all the time, yes even 2pac did many times, he used ot be my favorite :shock:

But the fact is he was a drug addict and a very violent person tied up with the biggest organized crime person on the west coast "s. night" but he praised God many times in his cd's :roll:
