Subject: Is harsh language appropriate? |
Bible Note: At times, harsh language does indeed have its place. Paul himself used it. So did our Lord Jesus Christ. I am not an apostle, but nowhere do I find in Scripture that harsh language is to be used only by Messiahs and apostles. We are to rightly divide the word of truth and be discerning toward unscriptural notions and heresies. Unrelenting and unrepentent heresy certainly calls for harsh language sometimes to convey the seriousness of the matter, especially when it is confusing believers and causing some of the brethren to fall away. We are indeed to judge, using as our standard the word of God. --Joe! |
