2 | why are some Christians ok with swearing | Rom 12:14 | Makarios | 97016 | ||
Greetings Louierocks, The Bible denouces cursing, and it should not be practiced by Christians (Col. 6:4).. Romans 12:14, Exodus 22:28, James 3:9 Romans 12:14 "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse." Ex 22:28 "You shall not curse God, nor curse a ruler of your people." James 3:9 "With it we bless (our) Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;" I will not go into particular words, since anything from haughtiness to lewd speech to gossip is unwholesome and should not be part of our lives as Christians.

Thank you, Makarios, for backing up your belief with scripture. It makes it so much more concrete. I agree with you whole-heartedly, but whenever I try to explain the very thing to someone else, they follow up with the questions, "What is cursing then? Is it relative to our culture?" How do I answer that? | ||||||
