And do swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. --Matthew 5:36-37
that verse in the Bible is not talking about cussing, its talking about saying something like, "I swear to God that i'm not lieing", "i swear on my life that she likes you", etc. BUT that's not saying cussing isn't wrong.... i personally do not think the actual cussing isn't wrong, or that being angered is wrong, the only time I think it's wrong is when we use it to put down others, or in a hateful way, etc. BUT! (once again) saying damnit is the most serious curse u could utter because that is saying you want somethign to go to Hell, the reality of which none can fathom, and, saying God damnit is the most blashphemous (sp?) thing you can say because by very nature and promis God is in the business of saving, not damnation, and any utterance otherwise is purley evil. back to my original "cussing isn't wrong" though... the only way i personally belive that makes other cussing wrong is when it offends someone else and causes them to sin... read Mark 9... specifically verse 42.."And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.
in James it says, "with the same mouth we praise God we curse our brothers, and this shall not be." take it in whatever context you want. but it says cussing shouldn't happen.
i still think that goes along the same lines... but thats just one of those things we can agree to disagree on, and i will respect your opinion when around you... =D!
that verse isn't necessarily about cussing, but there is still plenty of verses in the bible about it. cussing in general i hate being around and i can stand it for the most part. the things i can't stand is like you said "god damit", "oh my god" and "f---". the first two are for obvious reason: i LOVE God and i hate when people throw his name around like that. not that i haven't slipped before...i'm human ya know. and the last word is just the connotation of it. i just hate that word and there is no way i can ever let that word slip. i have slipped on every other word but i just can't let that one slip for some reason. i hate that word. it makes me shudder. so that is my opinion. and i totally respect yours.
