Is talking dirty to close friends detrimental to ones spiritual progress or is it harmless fun?

"Whatever things are true,

whatever things are of serious concern,

whatever things are righteous,

whatever things are chaste,

whatever things are lovable,

whatever things are well spoken of,

whatever virtue there is

and whatever praiseworthy thing there is,

continue considering these things."

--Philippians 4:8

God Expects Us to Fight Our Weaknesses

How dirty do you mean? everybody has a different definition of talking dirty, and something different would come to mind for each person here

By my definition:

I say harmless fun, as long as you keep your wits about you.

Words are words, and if you're close friends, everybody is probably on the same page as far as knowing that everybody else is just kidding

Question is, is there anybody around that could potentially be hurt by it? If you are mature enough to handle it, and they are as well, then why not?

Jedidiah is not a real book of the bible.

-Edit- In response to seenotes, ABOC's answer

Lol, obviously, seenotes, you work with kids that go to church. Try working with those that have never even considered living a godly life. Or possibly getting to know some real people with real problems for once, instead of things like 'i think the music is too loud at this church' or 'my friend doesnt read his bible 5 times a day, should we excommunicate him from the church.' And for the record, I love those little pervs and would never wish any harm upon them.

Why's'a brother gotta hate??

Detrimental.

Biblically speaking,You, being a youth pastor are held seven times MORE accountable- you sound very foolish to me! Jesus himself said that if ANYONE were to cause these little ones you call pervs to stumble that a millstone should be tied around their neck and tossed into the sea- any questions?

You really should re-evaluate why you are in the youth ministry- OR resign. Kids today have more on their plate than having to deal with perverts like you!

If you lust by looking at someone lustfully you have sinned.

"Talking dirty" is just another footstool for the devil to trip you up.

It's not worth it.

Edit: "Liberalblahblah-everyonehatemepls"--one of the answerer. It is sad your mind is so warped it converts things to immoral thoughts. It's a good thing you are surrounded by Christians here. Jesus loves you, hates your sin though.

If you find fun in THAT... then of course you don't have to worry about your progress...

Good luck! And don't talk dirty - English is such a beautiful language!

Maybe detrimental to your phone bill if they live out of your area, but that's about it.

We are called to live a life that shows we are Christians and not of this world

my close friends knows better

It's quite harmful . . . In Jedediah 3:14 we read that, "Ye shall talk with dirt no more, lest ye raven pluck your eyes from your head . . ."
