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.

Idk what you'd neccassarily (sp) call a Christian that cusses, but I believe it is important to try and use better words to express how we feel, and try and use kinder words. Everyone I think has said a not-so-good word at one point or another, but if you do this on a regular basis, I think you might want to try and widen your vocabulary just a tad. A clean mouth, that speaks kind and eloquent words to others, is evident of a good and wholesome mind.

Well you help me with mine. I try to find ways to help you but I never know what to say. I'm just saying I'm sorry for it.

Does it say in the bible cussing is a sin too?

Report as
Yeah
Report as
No it does not. If you think it does, show me a scripture where it says "Cussing is a sin".
Report as
Yep..Do not take the name of the Lord God in vain..
Report as
So God is now a cuss word?
Report as
Only if you abuse or curse HIS name.. Yes it is considered a cuss word and for the reason I mentioned..
Report as
It is stated in the Ten Commandments..
Report as
Well I don't think this asker was refering to using God's name in vain. And when I asked this question, I most certainly was not. So again, my question hasn't been answered. Is cussing a sin now? And if so, give me scripture proving it.
Report as
I think it says someone, let nothing come out of your mouth, but that which is pure... Can't find the reference though.
Report as
If that's the case, that is just plain ridiculous.
Report as
Depends on the person doing the asking..Cuss can mean diffirent things to different people but as a Christian, Taking God's name in vain is a valid answer..as also the source..New Testament ..Ten Commandments..Have a good week...
Report as
You're being out of line ton, I know using God's name in vain is a sin. I have read the commandments. AS I've stated three times now, that is not what my question was for. If you don't have an answer, don't comment.
Report as
Refer back to shaylen I do not read the bible as much as I should :/ so I cannot give you the exact words, but it is a sin.
Report as
It just says in the scriptures that our words should edify and uplift others... Another scripture says kind words are as honeycomb: health to the bones, and sweet to the ears. (Something like that) I think that just means to try and keep our language clean. But no, it doesn't say anywhere it's a commandment.
Report as
Thanks shaylen. So when you ask for forgiveness, do you ask forgiveness for using bad words too?
Report as
So you're a Christian, who is saying something is a sin, with no proof. Typical on here.
Report as
Cj, are you grumpy :-)
Report as
No. Why would you think that?
Report as
Yes, though sometimes I forget.
Report as
shaylen, at least you tried. My comment was meant for Casperboxer. Not you.
Report as
Oh sorry. Lol I can never tell sometimes who comments are directed at.
Report as
I should have said so to begin with. LOL
Report as
Lol. No worries!
Report as
I said I didn't remember and I am not about to go get out a bible just to look for something I know is there just to repeat it back to you in the exact words.You don't believe me okay then keep cursing and see where you go. And that's all I have to say about that, Cj.

Doesn't really mean anything. Although some link swearing (meaning crude words other than improperly using "God") to sinning because of one of the Ten Commandments. "Thou shall not take thy Lord your God's name in vain."

Nobody should ever say bad words, but it has nothing to do with believing in the Bible.

You can not call yourself a christian if you are a cuss

Yes, you can. People on this Earth sin you just need to ask for forgiveness every once in a while and try and stop the habit. I know how hard it can be. There's so many things out there influencing people to curse.

You are not living as an example of what a christian should live like; and you have a very limited vocabulary.

Words are but garbled sound, in which we put a meaning. It is not necessarily the words that you speak, but the meaning and emotion behind them that count. Granted, words can be a powerful thing.

The church teaches us that to cuss, it is an act of degradation of our community as cussing is a form of verbal abuse, as considered by society.

But I think otherwise. Cussing has became an involuntary act of communication. People swear, and use it as a form of saying casual stuff. Sooner or later, cussing is bound to become less taboo in society.

Anyone who makes no mistakes in speech is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. The tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed among our members as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of nature, & it itself set on fire by Gehenna. All creatures can be tamed by man, but no-one can tame the tongue-- a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord & Father, & with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing & cursing. Read the book of James. You will find what you seek.

It means you do not have true respect for Jesus your savior. If we love Christ ; we clean up our action & words.
