1 | why are some Christians ok with swearing | Rom 12:14 | Makarios | 97027 | ||
Greetings Louierocks, Here is more Scripture to meditate on regarding the words that come out of our mouths... Psalm 19:14 "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 39:1 "I said, "I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle while the wicked are in my presence." Matthew 5:17-18 "Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man." Colossians 3:8 "But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth." James 1:26 "If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless." 1 Peter 3:10 "For, "THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT." And there are many more.. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, Jesus didn't use profanity. By the way, in what verse does God swear by Himself or is He said to have sworn by Himself? I can't recall. Colin. |

Greetings Colin, I most certainly agree, Jesus never used profanity. I believe that Hebrews 6:13 is the verse that you are looking for. But what the Lord means by "swearing by Himself" does not mean that He is using 'profanity', but it means that He is making an OATH that only God can uphold. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, thanks for the reference. I asked because I'm studying Islam. The god of the Koran swears by the sun and moon, not by himself as our Lord, the true God, does. For me this is the deepest condemnation of that particular slave system and a good speaking point in witnessing to Muslims. Colin. |
