Subject: What about Christians swearing? |
Bible Note: Darcy, There are many words in the KJV that have changed their meanings over the course of 400 years, and they are to be read and understood while knowing that it was not the KJV translators' intentions to profane the Word of God. As for sex: any sex, outside of marriage, is always something that is detestable in God's sight. Lev 18:6 ¶ 'None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the LORD. Lev 18:7 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you are not to uncover her nakedness. Lev 18:8 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness. Lev 18:9 'The nakedness of your sister, (either) your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether born at home or born outside, their nakedness you shall not uncover. Lev 18:10 'The nakedness of your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for their nakedness is yours. Lev 18:11 'The nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, born to your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness. Lev 18:12 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your father's blood relative. Lev 18:13 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's blood relative. Lev 18:14 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother; you shall not approach his wife, she is your aunt. Lev 18:15 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. Lev 18:16 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; it is your brother's nakedness. Lev 18:17 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, nor shall you take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are blood relatives. It is lewdness. Lev 18:18 'You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her nakedness. Lev 18:19 ¶ 'Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness during her menstrual impurity. Lev 18:20 'You shall not have intercourse with your neighbor's wife, to be defiled with her. Rom 13:13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. Eph 5:3 ¶ But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; 1 Thess 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; (that is,) that you abstain from sexual immorality; And there are many, many more!! Darcy, do you not know these things? How long have you been a Christian? Not for very long, I assume? I have many more verses that I can post that speak to all of these issues, and I will not let you alone if you continue to speak otherwise. Makarios |
