Nah man...nothing in the account implies that he got on bad to the point of swearing.

John 2: 13And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

That is exactly my point.

I know the road is long and hard etc., however, I find it shocking to see the behavior of some who should not be so easily influenced, and if all else fails should just follow the &quot;word&quot;.

There are some on this board for example, <span style="font-weight: bold">Compry, Mrs Ahmidis and Church Dude</span> and a few others who conduct themselves with such grace that you do not have to guess that they are Chistians. Isn't that what it should be about?

I understand the hardship but with God on their side, shouldn't that be half the battle won, or is it an individual initiative? </div></div>

I personally can't see why I have to stop cursing. I have yet to understand why cursing is such a &quot;bad&quot; thing, and when did those words become so taboo. I don't see where in the scripture it speaks out about those particular words. I was having that debate with my pastor. I don't (or should I say rarely ever) curse AT people or ABOUT them. It's just that when I talk one or two words will fly out....whats the big deal? </div></div>


Admittedly swearing doesnt feature much in the bible,however,The choice should be with the individual whether to use colorful language or not,if you call yourself a christian and set yourself above others on a moral pedestal then your words and actions should reflect what you say you believe in,christians cant have it both f...ing way,and they shouldnt ,...practise what you preach. </div></div>

Amen! You've said it!! That is exactly what I thought.

I know that there aren't any specific words that were carved out as &quot;curse&quot; words, however, there are words that are generally used to <span style="font-weight: bold"> insult, incite and cause anger, shame or hurt. </span> Those words should be avoided by people who claim to be Christians, and that is my point.

If the person on the pulpit who is suppose to be &quot;winning souls for Christ&quot;, is F'ing and what not, just as a drunkard, whore or people of the world, then how does he or she expect to be viewed with any respect? Isn't that like mocking God?

Wasn't this addressed in 1 Corinthians: 13-11 (When I was a child I speak as a child...) and even the parable about separating the Goats from the Sheep in Matthew?

How could Christians/people who say they are saved expect to help others to Christ if they are not behaving or trying to behave differently?

I think it is hypocritical. My grandmother was a Christian and a stern disciplinarian but I have never heard her curse, and I am very certain that it was down to the fact that she was trying to set an example.

Christians who curse. Could they be cursing God?

Re: Christians who curse

@ this thread


ok..the Bible does talk about grievious words...I would imagine curse words are grievious words. But context is king. I can use the F word as a noun, verb, adverb, etc etc. And they take on different meanings each time.

But regardless it is still socially unacceptable. Just like you wouldn't scratch your rear exit before others because it is vulgar and nasty, you should not say curse words because it is vulgar and nasty.

Re: Christians who curse

But these are just words, who is it that made them bad?
If it was man who called the words bad and not God then it doesn't matter.
Grevious words could be the way you talk to someone an put them down leaving them feeling a way about themself.

How do you guys feel about Christians who say that they are saved, sanctified and filled, who curse at a moment's notice?

I have found that this behavior has become more acceptable by others in the church, and wondered if I am just too old-fashioned.

I've thought all along that although no one is perfect, the aim of christians is to be as Christ-like as possible and not to try and blend in with non-christians so much so that people are shocked when they are told that you are a Christian.

Have I just been too traditional? </div></div>

so what the (censored) is the problem if christians curse?
what's the big (censored)ing deal?
these (censored)ers are making a big deal out of nothing

Re: Christians who curse

Paul says dutty water and clean water can't come out a the same fountain - so u can be cussing with the same mouth u praising Jesus. Ya, Jesus say let ur ya be ya for u will be judge for all idle wuds. Paul says no more course talk when u become follower of Jesus. So Christian shouldn't cuss, lie steal, carousing, lusting and whatever else the master says for them life must model Jesus. Because people go church and say them is Christian no mek dem so. I think one life\action that model Jesus would better identify Christian cause the name Christian means to be like Jesus. Yes, Jesus got angry but never curse. Paul says it ok be me mad too. Once up and a time only thugs used cuss... hah haa

Bad words are Grevious words...just as you referenced. Would you really expect God to call a word &quot;bad&quot;?

&quot;You're not getting any tonight&quot; is a series of 'grievous words.' Do those count?
