Okay. I'm really glad this topic came up cause this is one of the few things I know about...
Firstly, the Bible talks about certain things, for instance, dung. If you look at the old translations you will see that word is actually, in today's culture, a profane word. A curse word, for instance 'ass', is wrong when we take it in the wrong context. If we call some one an ass, we are being demeaning and it's used in a derrogitory way. If I was to say that 'I have to wipe my ass. :)' I would not being using the word in the derrogatory sense. If I was to say f**k in the wrong sense, then it would be wrong because it is derrogatory. If I was to say that 'I am going to f**k', then I would be using it correctly and therefore not wrong. Who knows. Jesus could have used some of these words. It doesn't say He didn't. But this is the logical way of thinking about it. Did you know 'SHIT' actually stands for 'Ship Higher In Transit.' ??? Because some of the cargo on the ships were being mixed with manure accidentally. Ha. Learn something new everyday. Well, I hope this helps. Haha. Ask Uronacid. I have the mouth of a sailor. Oh, it is also wrong when it offends some one. Haha. Nuckas. Also, about taking God's name in vain....That's a hard subject for me. I will never say God damnit unless I'm using it in a sentence like this one. I feel like God is going to strike me down with His vengeance. Haha. But, I rarely take God's name in vain cause I respect it so much. And it kills me when people do. Jeremy. |

So basically lets say I really hated someone and said to them: "You are a f*cking retard" that would be wrong in god's eyes therefore sinning but if I said the curse word just to say it such like this - "F*ck, I can't believe I forgot" then it's okay? Cause if that's what your saying I TOTALLY agree. As for taking God's name in vain. I know it's wrong but of course I still do it but I have to admit everytime I do it I do feel that guilt in my heart and I try my hardest not to do it again =] |

I mean afterall it doesn't say in the Bible that we cannot cuss all it says is this under the commandments - "Love your neighbor" and "Do not take the Lord's name in vain". |
