Bible Question: Can you stand Christians swearing around you though? What makes it ok for Christians to swear? |
Bible Answer: I don't have any Christians that do. I don't see thou shall not say... But here are a few verses. I think you must use your judgement. And see the context of what is being said and the mood of the person (Is he saying it out of haste, has he lost control ect.) Prov 12:18 There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing. Prov 15:4 A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit. Prov 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles. Isa. 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters wickedness. Heres an example the "F" word makes the act of sex that God gave us as a dirty thing. |
