Can Christians Cuss? w/Mike Winger

As Christians, is it consistent to have this kind of language in our mouth? What does the word of God say on this subject?

I like to talk about the big questions of faith, progressive Christianity, and skeptical claims against the reliability of the Bible and the truthfulness of Christianity.

I believe the God who created the universe with his words finds words more importantly than we think..

[margarethebert]

This is the verse that comes to my mind when I slip (or almost slip): “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭

Thanks Mike, Biblically sound teaching as usual, cussing is indeed something we as Christians should not do.

[DavidMccallister]

I think this is one of those "Duh" topics. Anyone that truly has the blood on Christ painted on the door post of their hearts knows that it is not the perfect will of God for us to drop f bombs or any other bad words. Trust me; I'm guilty and struggle but I can't sit here and lie and try to justify it. C'mon guys

I always say there are several things that make speech sinful. Your own conscience condemns it. The cultural context is inappropriate. The Bible specifically forbids it. As far as the cultural context, some words are acceptable in some culture and are considered profanity in others even in the same language (American English vice British English, Mexican Spanish vice European Spanish.) Somethings are made inappropriate for no other reason than they are deemed inappropriate by a society that we are called to live righteously in. Some speech like lies and obscenities are specifically forbidden by scripture.

I don’t swear/cuss as much since receiving the Holy Spirit. I just haven’t “needed” to; and I want to reflect the Lord. I don’t judge anyone who does though as I have done my share of turning the air blue. It’s the Holy Spirit that convicts and transforms and I welcome that change. Xxx

I like to remember the verse that says “do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs that it may benefit those who listen. Gives the idea of what we should be saying to others. 🥰

I am a frequent cuss slipper, repenter, asker for help to think before I speak. Sometimes my brain just gets going in situations of anger or high anxiety and it just slides out! It is WRONG and I believe it is definitely a SIN. Sometimes I think the cuss word and feel Then the repent, forgiveness, asking for help to think before I formulate thoughts starts again! And it is one that I struggle with because I know it is WRONG! I won't give up this struggle. God Bless 🥰

NO cussing! but it does slip out, repent and stop it

[HarleyPebley]

This reminds me of the sermon on the mount where Jesus has the various passages of "You've heard it said... but I say..."
To paraphrase this in that context: You've heard it said "don't cuss" but I say "don't even speak foolishly."

[Candican]

I am personally not a big "Cusser" but to me, not all uses of curse words are obscene. I hold this point of view loosely so I am interested in hearing an alternate opinion.
To me, cussing is only obscene when it is used against someone or against God. To me it's obscene when it is violating something sacred.
But swearing because you bucked your toe, or you hear an idea that you think is bunk and you call it BS. Neither of those things are obscene to me. So I tend to have no issue with it.
I wouldn't even consider it careless use of words in those contexts.
That being said, if it'll make my brother stumble, I won't insist upon using it. But if a Christian curses and it's not against God or another person...I've got no problem with it. It really doesn't offend me.

Cussing is sin and I have to ask for forgiveness, everyday. It’s one of the many bad habits I have picked up from my youth from the world. Thank God, He corrects me in love and forgives me in love. I only cuss only once in awhile instead of everyday. Getting better for the Lord. ♥️

[terrimobley]

This feels very much a place of personal accountability. Having someone chase me around about saying darn is a way of creating division.

[Serpents_and_Doves]

Anything profane is ultimately incompatible with a Holy God. That's me holding myself accountable. It's not an area to express our freedom.
Set your heart like a flint and think on this...
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

[LorileiSuesHonestReviews]

I cussed like a sailor before I became a Christian. After I was saved Jesus changed me and I didn't want to cuss anymore or talk in a way that displeases or dishonors God.

[blancajimenez]

The word of God says that we are in the world but not of the world.I believe that as a Christian we should let our light shine even in our way we talk.

[frost]

I'm a Christian, but sometimes when I get angry, frustrated, out of patience i cannot hold myself to cuss like "f*** this, s***" etc

[randombanana]

The only argument that I find compelling is that in some sub-cultures, cussing isn’t viewed as obscene. So my question is how do we define what is obscene? That changes with cultures.

I dont like swearing, but it is not because l am better than others that do .We all have faults to bear and if correcting someone, only do it in humility and love !
