How do you feel about cursing?
I don't understand what the wrong in it is..
I've looked up several places online where it says in the bible that cursing is wrong but it doesn't say that it really is.. It mainly says that words that bring people down is bad and you are to use your words to lift people up.. I can fully understand that saying God's name and Jesus' name in vein is bad as they are holy names.. But the other curse words, I don't understand. I guess for people who say they are bad, it would be taboo to say it in front of them. But when you're around people who accept cursing, it's a way to lift them up by adding curse words into your vocabulary so by cursing, you are lifting them up which is what it says in the bible..
I really have no one to talk to about this except you guys.. I asked my girlfriend who is a Christian (I'm a Christian as well) but she's the type who is 100% bias against everything and it's her way or no way.
@ Jamie, I completely agree with you.
@Elmo, you gave me a good laugh. Your last line goes against your third line.

Like with any words, the meaning relies entirely on the context in which they are used.
When someone says "s**t" or "f**k" after having just stubbed their toe, there's no reason for anyone to take offense as it's just an exclamation.
However if someone were to say "f**k you, you piece of s**t", then they are obviously intending to offend.
The only people who are against 'curse words' period are those who don't have a very thorough understanding or appreciation of language.

I curse satan, poverty, sickness, unbelief, depression, lack, loneliness and things of such like all the time but I do hate that filthy communication.
Ephesians 4 : 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Colossians 3 : 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Does it say that? I thought it was just using the Lord's name in vain, and that cursing wasn't much of an issue back then. Well, ****.
