"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."- Ephesians 4:29
The verse isn't talking about swearing tho its talking about harmful words that break people down ie calling people stupid, retarded etc when it's not necessary
@@upzyys9286I think James 3:10 works better then, "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be." or 2 Timothy 2:16, "But shun profane and vain babblings: for they grow much towards ungodliness."
@@mariolimbaga5427 Read everything in context and its original languages
The scriptures condemn hateful speech that separates souls and severs bonds and breaks hearts
This means any word you ever use could potentially be profane or corrupt talk
Even words which aren't taboo words within their native language
Fuck shit damn etc. aren't profane corrupt or vulgar by themselves... you just hear and think of them that way because you're a product of your environment and society...
Those same words can be used for good and for uplifting and for love and even for might and motivation...
Its not the words used to say something that God's going to judge in the end.. its what you're saying to people and why that God cares about...
For example if I made a powerful statement about God to help allure people to God and my biblically based teaching but I happened to use a few "cuss" words.... Someone would unleash a swarm of harsh criticisms and condescending remarks towards me with pure hatred... They are the ones in danger of hell fire rather than me being so..
Jesus said who ever calls a brother fool or raca is in danger of hell fire
John said whoever hates his brother has not the love of God and does not know God
@@mpdebate6239 Thank you, I so rarely see people actually understand this and it's so frustrating. I appreciate your response, God Bless you :)
@@mpdebate6239 OK we'll get real into context. In 2 Timothy 2:16 the Greek of Profane is bebēlos, which means unhallowed, of men, ungodly which applies to our Profane words today which is against God's nature. We are to reject these COMPLETELY to avoid ungodliness and mortal sin because it may be fine in the eyes of men but certainly not to God
Swearing has been a weakness of mine. I usually slip when I get startled or angry. My habit came back when I worked for enterprise car rentals(I was delivering trucks in Houston. On Highway 45.) that level of crazy traffic can make a nun swear lol 😆. Seriously I nearly got into a crash so many times because the drivers are insane(almost suicidal) on Highway 45 & I-10. But Yeshua(Jesus) has helped me calm down with that and I’m getting better every day. Plus I quit that job two months ago. I want to live past 28. Lol 😆. 😎🕎👍🏼🇺🇸
I can relate to progress, too! 🙌
What the BEEEEEP are you saying!! Beeeping Beeeep!!
Yashaya not Yeshua :)
Haha bro! I am in the same boat. I swear when I'm mad. At things that aren't working right. Idk how not to? Certain words have a special weight to them so using them in the way I do clearly demonstrates my frustrations. I know it's not good but that's my justification n I don't see a way out...
Shalom my friend 🙌
"Owwww, my ears!" That's me when ever I hear someone blasphemy Jesus' name. I always do find it strange when I hear Christians use swear words. I know plenty who do, and some of them even say that they've swore their whole lives so it's a part of them. As for unbelievers, I don't even flinch when they use cuss words and I never say a thing. But, when they misuse my Lord's name... ouch!! Many of them will even apologize when I say, "Owww, my ears!" after they say JC.
Yeah. Its painful.
I have been working on not taking God's name in vain over the last year, but I have always felt okay with other forms of crass language. That's because, as someone that loves words, I believe that intent matters more than the word itself. If I call my friend an idiot after they hit themselves on a glass door, that's nowhere near as hurtful as if I call a stranger an idiot in the same circumstances. My friends know my intent but the stranger doesn't. We could use modern cuss words in the time of the Bible and they wouldn't have any meaning, because back then when someone swore, it was serious. It was an expression of ill will. F*** you has no meaning, but 'May your fields wither and your herds die of plague' was a legitimate curse. Those were actual curse words. What's an f bomb compared to that?
All that said, after watching this video I have come to the conclusion that I should refrain from crass language. I've become a bit too comfortable in its usage and the point made here is pretty valid. How can I exemplify what God can bring to your life if I'm indistinguishable from a non believer? I will be monitoring my crass language from here on out.
I like that, I'm going to try that! I've started asking the people who use my Lord's name as a curse word, "how is that God's/Jesus' fault? He didn't do anything to you!" Or an altered form of that point. It's been working with my family so far! Lol
I dont understand what is up with Christians using Oh my goodness as a substitute these days, either. Nobody in my church says like Gods name in vain outright but Oh my goodness is like the same thing and yet they think it is okay. It just feels wrong bc ppl these days mean it as the same thing, just another word for it, and God is our Goodness, he is the ultimate Good, so it just feels wrong. And I hear sooo many Christians say it, I just dont know how to tell some ppl not to bc not everyone actually thinks its bad. Am i the only one who feels this way about saying Oh my goodness or am I alone in this?
@@devinvanleeuwen1671 I'm with you on this, but I'd rather hear that then the alternative. Personally, I try to avoid using all those phrases.
I'm so happy that you mentioned that we shouldn't be pushing this on to non believers because what they say is not as important as what they believe
Sure but even so you can still encourage and try to lead people into the right direction
@@stareyes453 as soon as they give it to God yes. But when they aren't, it's hard to get the world to stop
I used the f-word so often just a few years ago. It was just part of my vocabulary I thought and it was kinda fun. I came across a RUclipsr who answered some questions in an Instagram story and he explained why he never says the f-word. He's a Christian and explained that swearwords never add value to your language instead it is just dirty. That was the first time I thought about my speaking mannerisms. I also came closer to Jesus and now I really don't like using the f-word. Last year I had 3 slip-ups but compared to my previous behavior, using the f-word multiple time daily, I made a huge improvement. I also don't like to listen to songs with dirty language in them. It changed IN me. JESUS changed me. And I'm so grateful for that.
Me too it’s a problem of mine.
That intro was kinda funny
Personally, I think that swearing is immature, inappropriate, and disrespectful to yourself and everyone around you.
That said, the entire concept isn't really mentioned in the Bible (yes there is 'cursing' but that is not comparable to modern day 'swearing' as the latter is entirely a social construct) so it's not like I believe it's a sin.
It's cussing.
Idk why people say cursing, when it's not curse
Not to mention, swearing in an argument makes you look uneducated.
@In Christ Alone I live in the UK and it's the same here.
It can be, depends on if you're just swearing up a storm for no reason(these people annoy me lol) or just letting out a swear here or there. I think we should be careful with our words, but there's no verse that says you shouldn't swear, they will reference all the verses that say "stay away from foul speech" and such... But not the verse where Paul says "I am rubbish"(which, btw, he literally says the Greek equivalent of sh*t in that verse lol)
@Tony McGurk And we call it cursing in Canada lol, but obviously the Biblical term "curse" is not the same as "swear"
I used to swear So much, all the time ...it was normal to me even when becoming a new Christian I still did....it wasn't until recently the last couple of years in my walk that I had a Heavy conviction about my foul language, long story short I prayed God would take it away from me and give me clean speech .... I no longer use the language I once did, and actually now when I Do hear people use it it burns my ears ...I understand though because I was once that way...it's just so crazy how differently I see things now, all glory to God 🙏💜
I think the reason parents used to teach their kids not to swear is that it encourages self-control. Now that so many have stopped that simple lesson has been lost and with it a host of other uncontrolled emotions.
Thanks for that! Because my dad told me that saying the "n" word isn't bad but it doesn't sit right with my spirit. He knows I'm a Christian so he said that sometimes you have to say some words like that to relate to someone. I'm glad that you reminded me of Ephesians 4:29. Ephesians 4:29-31 is really good 👍🏼
Changing your speech to relate to people is called "code switching." It's a philosophy that is inherently built on assumptions and stereotypes, and in most of the contexts it is used is actually racist. The people who promote it say that if a black person gets a job at a workplace, then the white people should change their language to accommodate the black person. This assumes that the black person grew up in a certain environment, speaks a certain way, and acts a certain way simply by the color of their skin, which is racist garbage.
I'm a Christian too and I recently learned about this code switching stuff from college, there was some online seminar with professors. The world is bonkers
Considering the N word was constructed as a racist term of hatred I don't believe we, as Christians, should be letting it come out of our mouths. Pretty much, whatever you see the rest of the world doing, the ungodly masses that is, do the opposite. If most people are cursing or using foul language, partying etc, etc, then don't do those things.
@@PaladinThizz Yes, thank you ✝️🌷
I had a dream that I was swearing and I just woke up,5 minutes later I recalled the dream and was like "did I just-" for some reason I thought I swore in real life..felt real..
YES. i have similar dreams but with a different sin!
I've had those dreams... Isn't weird waking up from a dream and still being in that moment?
I have similar experiences but with other things ....my dreams can be So vivid it freaks me out sometimes because I feel like I was really there and that really happened, and it's definitely not always good 🥺😬 I ask the Lord to forgive my thoughts (even though I know we don't have control of our dreams) I still feel bad if it was a bad dream
@@faithfulwhispers333 Ohhh yes,I understand completely what you're saying,but you know,most of our "inappropriate" thoughts aren't even from us,they're from the enemy..even so,I too can't help but feel like I'm the one thinking those thoughts...even now..I am tormented by inappropriate thoughts/words...
@@Vauxatios I understand completely! It's crazy because I remember struggling So much in the beginning of my faith because I thought once I accepted Christ that I was never gonna have a wrong thoughts or never sin....(I know I was very naive) but I did think this , until I learned that isn't exactly the case ...we are new creations but we still do have to fight a battle ...like u said I still have random thoughts I wish I didn't have and even though I know they aren't from me, I still rebuke them and ask God for forgiveness that I can even carry such a thought....it's refreshing to hear people like u being honest about this....because I was told by someone before that I should (never have a bad thought since I am in Christ, and if I do I'm not "really saved" !) So it's nice when people can tell it how it is 😇🙏🌹
I think it goes farther than even curse words by definition. I think it goes into Intention as well. Evidence for this is when Jesus says we can even sin in our hearts. Meaning, even if we say frick instead of f**k, if in our heart we mean to say f**k then we're still cursing. So even replacement words are curse words if the intention is to curse.
So true. I always say that about the replacement word of oh my... "gosh," it's literally a replacement of two letter's.
@@jess1987 Yep. And Oh my goodness is similar, I mean God is the ultimate Good, and if you look up both words in the dictionary in the context of the phrase (oh my going before it) then it literally says that it is a substitute for taking Gods name in vain.
@@devinvanleeuwen1671 Very true! Yesterday, I was actually thinking about that; when people even replace it with 'word,' or 'days, it's still really the same.' I know a lot of people will go on the attack when you try to explain it to them. I'm glad I'm not really one to need to say the "oh my..." phrase!
For those of you struggling with cussing, it’s possible to remove it from your life. After deciding to stop doing it once I started college, things hit differently for me and the peers around me. Now I’m at a point where cuss words don’t even appear in my mind, even when it used to pop up mentally in certain situations during my college years. Keep it up and have faith in God to work through this issue!!
“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” Colossians 4:6
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to everyone who doesn’t say the word “fuck”… does that sound correct? No, because our views of blue collar language are human and we use those human rules we’ve made to ignore preaching to millions of people
@@waypasttheline That may be true for some, but not for me. The gospel ought to be preached to all, regardless of their background or word choices.
Jesus was salty so we can be too, but that doesn't mean we need to use profanity
“But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Matthew 12:36-37 NASB
Haha, that opening, I was like
What the frying pan? Did you just flossin cuss there? woah, that's fasting weird you son of the kingdom...
3:27 - “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” Ephesians 4:29 🔥
Ok why is the word “fuck” corrupt? What Biblical reason? You can quote all you want, but it doesn’t mean that the verses that you’re quoting even fit the subject other than by human standards.
This issue is very close to my heart because people like you believe that my ministry is a sin. And for lack of a better explanation you want those souls that I’m witnessing to to stay lost. That’s very unChristian in essence.
@@waypasttheline I never said that in my comment. I simply quoted a verse about speech that builds people up and gives grace to those who hear.
@@waypasttheline You’re making a lot of false assumptions about me, Rusty. Anyways, Isaac does address the concerns you have at around the 7:30 mark. Not sure if you watched until the end to hear that part.
Unsure why I had to manually come back to see your reply… weird… either way what you did is a bit of a gas light considering the context of the comments you made. No you didn’t explicitly say those things, you just went to a video about swearing and posted two verses out of context that very clearly lean one way. I took that lean to its full conclusion
I think its complicated. It doesn’t look nice or sound nice but also in some cases it’s an appropriate word for conveying emotion
I offer that it may feel *adequate* but that's not the same as "appropriate".
"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify."
It's not appropriate at any time. Demons swear. How can you be a temple for the Holy Spirit and be a temple for the devil at the same time? We're not called to be led by our emotions and even if we were you can convey your negative emotions without swearing. If you wouldn't swear in church why do it at all?
@@PaladinThizzPaul swore
After 20 years in the Navy, I was saved in 2020 and stopped dipping and cussing in that moment.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
Amen Byron
I think something to add is that circumstance plays a huge role in what words you should be using. For example, if I fall on my shin and say "Damnit", that would be inappropriate, but if I am talking about sin and I say "All sin can damn you", it would be completely appropriate. Why? Because there's nothing inherently evil about that noise coming from your mouth. All that's "bad" is the meaning behind the word. And since damnation isn't something we should take lightly, it's not a good thing to shout when you hit your shin, but it is completely appropriate to talk about when speaking of sin.
I used to swear a lot (not because it was "cool and edgy" but because nobody in the community understood me if I spoke otherwise)...but ever since the Lord lifted me up, I try very hard to refrain from cussing. It don't cuss now unless I am extremely frustrated e.g. when one of these Hare Krishna guys tried to convince me the other day that the LORD prohibits eating meat and "everything, incl. the rocks and trees and animals does have a soul" and I told him it's pure BS (and felt really bad for saying that).
I used to cuss all the time before Jesus saved me about two years ago, the cussing went away for me pretty quickly
That’s what exactly happened to me all I needed to do was to not talk so aggressively
Ngl... I cussed and looked down and saw this video.... Oh boy....
I've had a swearing problem when I was a non-Christian to make friends and look cool. It has been hard trying to get rid of swearing. I don't swear in front of people now but when I get angry at times I do occasionally cuss and I hate it. Swearing is a sin and in my case it was one way of expressing extreme anger and rage. By no means think it's ok to swear as Christians, it's not cool or helpful and in fact will confuse unbelievers
It is so hard to stop cussing once you’ve made it a habit and have been around it so much and for so long. It’s a daily battle that I am too struggling with. It’s mainly something I do now as well when an accident happens or I’m upset about something which is a problem in many ways and something I am really trying to work on. We can do it!! Through prayer and support of those around us 🙏
Someone help me understand.
Why is it that "Frick" is okay, but not the actual word?
Same with "Shoot". Why are the actual words censored but not these?
It's literally just different ways of spelling them.
❤ “He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.”
Proverbs 16:20 ASV😊
If cussing is sinful, in time my body will collapse like a dying star and go full supernova. LOL
I think context is really important. There are times when harsh language is necessary.
That said, it is also an issue of conscience; not just your conscience but the conscience of those around you. "Don't cause your brother to stumble" and all that.
Your role is important too. If you are even thinking of going into ministry for instance, it takes much less to cause others to stumble.
Agreed 100% - I don't think we should try to completely rid harsh language from our lives, as there's times when harsher language is necessary and times when softer language is better(and when people act as religious as Ned Flanders type characters... It seems incredibly shallow) - We're supposed to be like Jesus, and even He flipped tables and used harsh language when necessary
This issue is not to resemble the world since separation is a key factor in the Christian walk. Neither does the passage where Jesus flipped tables state that he uses a form of cuss word. Even if he was angry, it doesn’t imply he used “cuss words.”
If the world views a certain word as vile, then the Christian has to understand they cannot use that word anymore since it is now offensive to those who hear. Like the word “ass.” The word itself is not sinful in nature, but the context which is used often in insulting someone, it now becomes a sin. Again, even if you do insult someone and not use a swear word, the act of insulting someone is the problem in itself as we are to build each other up.
There is no such thing is cussing needing to be necessary. “Harsh” doesn’t have to include cussing at someone. It can just be the tone of which a person speaks to someone.
@@jherandsoleil6335 "harsh" can also be necessary. Jesus, for instance, had some very harsh words for the pharisees in Matthew. Like you said though, the actual words themselves have very little to do with it, but rather the intent is what is important.
A great example I saw in this very comment section is someone recanting how someone was being verbally abusive towards their mentally handicapped friend who, being mentally handicapped, would be unable to let it slip past them like most people can. And so the commenter, loving his friend, quietly, but sternly, simply said "f off," which conveyed everything he needed to.
That kind of response doesn't even necessarily mean that the commenter hated the man, but rather he wanted to protect his friend because he loved him.
We are supposed to protect our loved ones from harm, even to the point of violence; Jesus said that thinking wrongly towards someone is lawfully the same as murder; if thoughts can be counted as murder (sin), and physical violence can be counted as righteousness in the right circumstance, than there is a point in the middle where what you say (which is not physically violent) can be harsh, righteous protection with the correct motive.
And if you want to discuss the cultural view of certain words, both Jesus and Paul called various people and groups "fools," which culturally was a much worse insult than just about any words we call people today. The important parts was motive, truth, and context.
@@Destractoid If we're going to focuss on the passage where Jesus flips the tables or chases the people out, let's breakdown the passage in Matthew 21:12-13
Jesus went into the temple of God, cast them out that sold and bought in the temple and threw the tables and seats. Then told them that his house is to be called the a house of prayer and they made it a den of thieves.
1. This is a description of an event that took place and demonstrated how Jesus acted. When Jesus speaks to teach a lesson, he will tell the person directly or in a form of a question or parable. The actually lesson that Jesus wanted to teach is that the temple was made for prayer, not business. He didn't flip the tables and say "these actions have I shown unto you, that ye may cleanse all the defiled temples."
2. The specific issue at hand is about swearing, the verbal response one has. We cannot compare Jesus' action to learn how we should verbally respond. Like I mentioned, afterwards, Jesus reminded the crowd the temple's true purpose in the midst of false purpose.
Now lets look at other verses
Ephesians 4:29
A verse you've seen throughout the comment section. The first half commands us to not speak corruption, which you may say cursing isn't corrupting depending on context. But the actually purpose for that command is for the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
In your example, of the friend defending the other friend, where is the grace in those words? Did his response of "fuck off" direct the man to God's grace to bring him towards Him? Even if one were to say "please, get out" it would be against the scripture. Rather, the command is that in all that we say, it should point and bring glory back to God.
1 Cor 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."
Now, is a swear word in itself inherently evil? No. The word by itself is just a word. Using a "cuss" word can be defined as "lawful" but is it edifying?
When someone unsaved sees a Christian who swears, I have never seen them say "wow, that Christian is so relateable to me, I want to know their God." Rather, the typical response is "what a hypocrit."
I was at work once and a Dr wouldn't give pain meds for a patient who was hurting. I had to convince him for 10 mins that we need it. At the end of the conversation, I hung up, and yelled "fuck" since it was frustrating I had to do that for a person in pain. Now, using your view point, it is justifiable in the sense it was a stronger word to use to explain my frustration for a good deed I was aiming to do. However, the first thing a co-worker said was, "I have never heard you swear before. Aren't you a God follower?" He wasn't mocking me, we are good friends. But that's how he saw cursing as well. A Christian's testimony is very important.
10:31 - doing all to the glory of God. Nothing with my single comment of "fuck" brought glory to God, but rather made my co-worker question my action. In your example, if the gentle who received the "fuck off" states "wow, glory to your God who made you defend this special needs child." Then I would stand corrected. But unless a day comes where unbelivers who hear Christians swearing as glory to God, then the act of swearing cannot be justifiable.
The only counter-argument would be "oh but what if someone said 'I ***king love my wife!" used as a positive gesture. But until unbelievers no longer see a Christian who swears as "hypocritical" then to their ears, it will not being glory to God.
@@jherandsoleil6335 before I respond, a couple questions:
Firstly, how do you see the verses where Jesus flipped being relevant to what I said? By brain could just be giving out on me right now, but I just don't see how it has anything to do with what I said.
Secondly, what would you have the man from the other comment do in order to protect his friend if it is like you say, and you are not suppose to even say to "get out of here"?
My issue isn’t with cussing out loud (because I have no desire to cuss anymore) but with cussing mentally in the form of intrusive thoughts or second nature. There’ve been times I’ve almost died and my final thought would’ve been an f-bomb. I’m not okay with that but I have no idea how to make it stop. I’ve just asked Jesus to help me and to cleanse my mind and if there’s anything I can do about it I prayed that He would reveal it to me.
“Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.” Ephesians 5:4
Yet Jesus speaks harshly to people and calls them names.
I'm glad that you've defined this as cussing. When people call it cursing, it confuses the issue. Curses, to put a curse on another, is unequivocally a sin.
I have a bit more lax opinion about cussing than you, but I think it's from the same heart. Those words should be used sparingly, if at all, but if they are used, they are shorthand. My best friend in high school had cerebral palsy and we were hanging out with a group at a local bowling alley. There were some other guys near us that started talking about him, then started to mock and bully him. Finally, one of them sat down next to him and did the super-nice bullying thing..."Hey, Name! How are you doing? It's great to see you!" He wasn't answering, but the other guy kept at it, "Why aren't you talking to me buddy?" Would I have been able to sit down, look at him and say "I think that what you're doing is inappropriate, you're hurting a friend of mind, and if you don't leave now, I'm willing to escalate my defense of him?" Maybe? I sat down, looked that guy in the eye and said "F off." He got everything I meant in that moment.
Like I said, sparingly. VERY sparingly. But if used in that shorthand way...give yourself a little grace.
Speak no evil.
Colossians 3:8 AMP But now rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene (abusive, filthy, vulgar) language from your mouth.
The NLT says
Colossians 3:8 "But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language."
Thanks for allowing comments! It's really interesting to see the different views on the subject
As a church we tend to get caught up in rules and regulations that aren’t necessarily biblical but they are cultural, this is one of those things. Someone could go their whole life without saying fuck, but still talk bad about someone behind their back. Obviously in society we want to be taken seriously so people are open to hear us talk about the gospel, and swearing comes off as inappropriate in society today, so as christians in most cases swearing does more hurt than good. Swearing isnt a sin though, so therefore it isn’t relevant really and definitely not salvific.
NOT THE OH YEAH YEAH PFP NOPE NOPE NOPE
As.a new Christian myself I thank you for putting these videos out. They have helped me alot yo understand
I love that you speak truth. Thank you for taking these topics.
Saying what the "flip" is something we should also grow out of. Let's bridle our tongues.
"But now rid yourselves [completely] of all these things:anger,malice,slander and obscene (abusive,filthy,vulgar) language from your mouth." -Colossians 3:8 (AMP)
Apart from the conviction of being immodest. Blaspheming and swearing were also something I was convicted on straight away. Once I knew it was wrong, I immediately told my son and we truly made all the effort to change. I can't stand hearing swear words.
I mean this in the nicest way possible but you’re a funny man 😂appreciate the video good work
For once I appreciate something you’ve said. 4:16. Seems like either Christian’s shut down when I use an expletive or tell me not to at all. I call bullshit and (this is where I disagree) that they can be very fucking useful to help convey emphasis or tone, to contribute to the meter in verse, or to indicate tense.
when I'm around friends who occasionally swear, I say like "watch your language" or "there are children here", in kind of a joking way. So that they also like laugh and agree, "aight, I won't".
Supprised you didn't bring up the "I count it all rubish" passage.
Personally, I had a moment in my life where I said words I regret, but I'm a million times better now. It's better to just avoid them like some people avoid alcohol.
I mentioned in a conversation with my pastor that sometimes bad words slip out, and his response was that impure things should never come out of our mouths.
Words have meaning and the Bible clearly says to not be vulgar and to not curse God. I try to follow those rules in reference to cuss words.
Great, practical example in the opening!
I can see plainly when someone's witness is being hurt by just the words coming out of their mouth, from cussing to hatefulness to bitterness to inappropriate comments-you name it. Cussing is definitely one of the ways Christians can instantly lose credibility as representatives of our holy God, Jesus.
Excellent caveat about non-believers!
I always love thoughtful questions for self-examination, too.
Super post on a topic a lot of Christians view as no big thing (not that condemnation belongs here, either).
We are the temple of God. We present Christ to the world.
I notice lately I’ve been getting a bit vulgar and telling dirtier jokes, thank you for this view
First, I absolutely despise the word ‘cuss’. it sounds so childish lol.
Second, I don’t prefer to hear foul language but I work in a factory. It comes with the territory. But I don’t use such language myself unless something really upsets me.
But the one absolute thing that I cannot stand is when people swear at children. There’s no reason for that other than intimidation.
I agree with you about everything you said
I’m trying not to swear but every now and then I’d let a “damn” slip out. It’s also a good way to force yourself to verbalize your ideas more
Cool but what does that have to do with this video
Funny story along these lines lol. I come from a very conservative denomination. My brother in law and I went to the same Bible College. And I wasn't at this particular church service when this incident happened but he was. We had a friend there at school who was from Jamaica, who had a call to preach (last I heard he's pastoring a church in Jamaica right now 😊). So anyway he was in the ministerial department. And the "preacher boys" as we call them are given different opportunities thru the school year to preach, even if it's just a 10 minute (sometimes improv) sermon. So our Jamaican friend was preaching at a church here in the states. And in his message he said "You all probably don't know what the h--- I'm talking about." In Jamaica the h word, in that context isn't a swear word and he had no clue it is here 😂. Somebody kindly approached him after the service to let him know not to say that here like that 😂. On the other hand they have words there that are swear words that aren't here. The same Jamaican man was trying to tell my brother in law without saying it. So he asked my brother in law "When you're cut, what comes out of you?" "Blood." "What is fabric made from?" "Cloth." In Jamaica putting those 2 words together is a swear word.
I work on an RCF unit in a hospital, where many of the men I watch over often use foul language quite often. As a Christian, I try to encourage them to not use such language. As Paul told Timothy, let your words be wholesome and edifying. Many of the guys who have been there for a while have started to apologize to me when they let out a cuss word, which I give an encouraging smile and nod back with a thank you.
I grew up in a household where cussing was and still is normal and any time I hear a swear word it frustrates me. I've struggled and still is struggling with it. At sometimes I don't even know that I'm doing it. I'm still working on it.
How long are you without swearing?
Dude this channel is gonna blow up, keep it up man awesome content!
Not gonna lie, swearing is my go to when I'm frustrated, hurt, or angry. I used to be vulgar 10000% of the time. I've only been saved for a couple years and can feel my heart steadily changing, but I definitely still drop f-bombs too easily.
Before I got saved I use to cuss at people all the time in my head. Eventually it just stopped though. Jesus really does a good work inside and out
This video came just in time because I’ve been debating this for characters in a story I’m writing.
I swear ocassionally, but I keep the conversation and situation/person in context, at times as a means of self expression. However I have never and will never use the Lords name in vain. Even hearing someone say JC makes me seethe.
I have never sworn to bring attention to myself. If its a friend who knows me and its chill then its fine. But to a new christian who has just come to God, or around children, then I wont...I just follow Gods leading. The key also is just to keep it moderate, as excessive swearing is juvenile, and a sign of ill intelligence and low communication skills.
I respect and appreciate that you didnt go the holier than thou routine trying to nag christians for swearing. If you had I would have switched out. Other christians have tried that with me, and it sounds self righteous and just makes me resent them. So cheers
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Now I don't remember exactly where this verse is in the bible, but this seems pretty clear that if you're cursing like a sailor all the time it's a pretty good indication your heart and soul are polluted with wickedness or maybe even that you have a demon. Seek Lord Jesus Christs deliverance and guidance from the Holy Spirit on all these things my brothers and sisters. And I am learning that generally when I question whether something is sinful or not, or whether I should do something or not, that I probably shouldn't do it and that it is sinful.
I think we also should refrain from using ANY word in the same context as cussing.
I'm a Catholic Christian and I'm looking at this is really legalistic legalistically speaking the Bible clearly states that you will be judged by all idle conversation that scares me way more than my cussing does I admit I cuss when it comes to being around my family and friends I have since I was in 5th grade I understand my church's view on this this is always been a difficult situation for me because sometimes I cuss in my prayers when I'm frustrated I don't ask for forgiveness for it because I truly believe in the context of your conversation and I have yet to see any biblical passage when it comes to actual curse words I do believe the Christian white Throne of judgment that every conversation both private and public will be shared even every thought everyone will know everything about themselves in about everyone else going into heaven
Matthew 12:38 "36:But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. ... 36"
Just the video I was looking for. Great points
Cursing is generally known as words of expression to express anger or hate more specifically but what if I said "AH FLIP!!!!!" as a word of expression for anger and hate? Isn't that the same thing as cursing? What difference is it to say flip or the other word when they both serve for the same purpose it's just a different word
Exactly!
Love the content🙏💪✝️
Love your content!! Thank you so much!
No Christians are not allowed to CUSS it's a sin. My mom used to tell me that cussing is the devil's language. Also your intro is funny.
What verse says that?
@@squidy2902 Ephesians 4:29. The verse talks about how you should let nothing corrupting come out of your mouth. As Isaac explained in the video, curse words themselves are just words, but it is the meaning behind them that is corruptive. When we say curse words, from a worldly view, we see anger. As christians, though we fail everyday, it is that same anger that we need to lose and help turn more people to Christ (Jesus is the ONLY one who saves).
@@lovebrosracing2559 that's so true, thanks for the verse :)
@@lovebrosracing2559 so what's the difference between the f word and sex or feces and the s word?
@@themysteriousnavi6850 I don't quite understand what you're getting at.
Fun Fact: The King James Bible says the P word 6 times in the Old Testament.
If a message is for a group of people, it's for anyone who pi**eth against a wall."
I admittedly swear with some friends when we joke around, and there are times I say "d*mn" when I'm mad, but I do my best to not curse like a sailor. I don't say "F, F, F" like there's only 10 other words in existence. I try to watch my language often; I don't usually care for people cursing just to curse.
I also think context is key. I don't like to hear something pointless like: "How the F are you?" But if you stubbed your foot into a wall or burned your hand and said "Ah, F!" I'd understand. Your language wouldn't be your first concern.
So I agree, I don't like profanity as a whole, but there are circumstances where I wouldn't be bothered by it as much.
It's hard not to swear. Once it becomes habit it's very difficult to stop. I try not to do it in front of people (not a good witness) though. I mostly say it to myself.
Yeah I understand that, all bad habits are hard to break and the good habits easy to break
But the key is consistency
And try substituting curse words with other words
I’d highly recommend to refrain from mental cursing. 1. The LORD sees all things and our thoughts
2. “Out of the abundance of the heart so speaks the mouth.”
The LORD has shown me through the Bible that any sin begins in the mind and is won in the mind. This is why every thought must be captive to Christ.
God bless
Yes cursing is a lot harder than I thought to stop. At least a couple of times a day id let one or two slip out especially if I’m angry. But in the end I know it will help me be able to vocalize my thoughts in a more productive manner
Saying dang, darn, or any other word that has a cuss word counterpart is called Christian cuss words which are no better than the regular cuss words if you use them in the same way you would a regular cuss word.
This is good and true. But I as a Non-American am often confused about those "replacement" cuss words that are frequently used like "frick" instead of the "actual" F word if you want. Isn't that a a thing where everyone knows which word is actually meant and then just a way of sugarcoating your anger or whichever emotion makes you say that? And isn't it in the end a heart issue then?
That’s hilarious, I love the hesitation when he says frick at 1:00
I appreciate the skits. They're added value to the video. God bless
A few years back I was in the camp that it's easier to reach people when you sound like them. That has since changed but my vocabulary has unfortunatly remained the same.
Bro his sister probably got the belt when he mistaken the f word for frick 💀
Used to say a lot but I stopped because I thought it's childish to keep on saying bad words intentionally. I only say them on accident now like stubbing my toe. Funny how some people who use bad words think they're cool and mature while I think of the opposite
If you just curse all the time, it shows that you aren’t speaking because you have something to say. You just like to hear your voice.
All the PKs in the audience felt a weird sense of deja vu when he said "just kidding, I didn't cuss, I just said flip"
So all the bleeps he didn't actually swear, or that would have be super hypocritical.
Great intro lol and video altogether!
It’s only a curse word because we give some much power over us, once we stop caring, it’s just like any other word.
I disagree, the power of a word is significant to the use of it. If words didn't have value why would we use it. Thus if we didn't give swears power then what is the point. There is meaning behind every word that is why we must be careful at all times
That's easy to say but perception is huge and a real thing. Speech is a part of how we convey our level of maturity, respect for others, class, and even where we come from. God should be Lord of our lives, including taking us to new levels in how we present ourselves and our witness to the watching world.
I will admit that as a believer in Christ when a lot of the peers of humanity get on my nerves, I have a loose tongue toward them; failing to rebuke them excluding cursing words.
I’m a Christian but the occasional swear word will slip out when I get angry or frustrated.
There is a reason why we call them "curse words" We as Children of God should not be using these words. God bless you all! 🙏 ❤
What I noticed some brothers and sisters in Christ is they don't use the bad words in church, but outside the church, they do.
Btw, certain 'edge' words (such as 'frick' and 'crap') are actually considered swear words by some, with the former word being derived from the F word translated to German (remove the 'R' and you get the German F word).
Yes I can be a troll, also this is my second comment but idc =)
True
Here within the first hour.. let’s go! 🍿
I made a short on this and I used this exact verse😂 but I made it before I watched this!
Personally, I used to cuss like a sailor or worse. I just came to Christ last year and it was the first habit/sin that the Lord changed in me. I am so grateful for that. Now, I can't help but realize that cursing is intellectually lazy. I'd rather have a varied and astute vocabulary to honor my Lord with more professional speech.
Well done Sir, how old are you, and did you get baptized? I know baptists hate cursing, did you feel Christ's spirit enter into you, and remove the swear demons?
I’m really glad that swearing has never felt natural to me.
It became a second language in the military. Its extremely hard to not do, especially when it's not angry. You can recognize when you're mad and want to swear. My issue is the happy "ohhh fuck yeaaaa bitchh!" Kind of swearing
FOR IT IS WRITTEN,……..THERE IS THAT SPEAKETH LIKE THE PIERCINGS OF A SWORD : BUT THE TONGUE OF THE WISE IS HEALTH .PROVERBS 12 : 18 KJV
I always say:

If you use the most vulgar of cuss words all the time, nobody can be shocked by anything you say. If I said even the most mild of cuss words, people would be like, “Hey, she’s serious”
A person who drops f bombs all the time can never get that communion of, “Hey, this is a dire situation.”
I’ve had to get creative to replace the cuss words that used to fly out of my mouth. “Son of a nutcracker!” has become a very well loved expression of irritation and I also resort to a little British slang. I really don’t like, a**, b****, s***, f*** or c***. Especially the last two. Those two since I’ve removed them from my vocabulary sound especially harsh. The others I just find too crass. I can’t help but wonder someone’s level of intellect if they are dropping cuss words left and right. Because you don’t have to use them. You can use other words.
One of the great errors being spread in the church is pastors saying “we are just like you all!” But if an unbeliever looks at your life, they should see no similarity between themselves and you and the only hope they could ever have if being anything like you is if they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” Mike Riccardi. Brothers and sisters, we are not relatable to the world anymore. We are aliens, new creatures, consecrated, set apart, and holy. Not of ourselves but by the grace of God. We have nothing in common with the world anymore. How we talk shows where our hearts are living. Do we talk like the world?
1:56 "Should we pee?"
Bruhhh the intro make my heart shatter
The only thing that slip out of my mouth is SH##
The intro made me roll haha. Got bless you man and keep up the videos!
So I actually have been going through a study of the sermon on the mount, and in it, Jesus uses the word "Raca", although indirectly.
Granted, there is debate as to how severe this word is, but based on His words saying " those who say Raca are in danger of the courts but those who say Thou Fool are in danger of the judgement" I'd say that it's a pretty severe word to use.
Plus, Jesus surrounded himself with sailors and other sorts of people from backgrounds where crass language would be common. Whether or not he emulated that language outside of the written texts isn't exactly stated, but he does also curse a tree and essentially tells it to go to hell. (However I'd need to check a concordance for myself as it's been a VERY long time since I read that passage)
I feel like there might be some instances where curse words might be more necessary than other forms of speech to show severity. After all, the words are only considered crass because we as people say they are. (An episode of Recess comes to mind where the gang made up a word and the TEACHERS decided it was foul language when it was a meaningless word)
But in general, words themselves being considered foul is a rather recent invention. And many words of that nature have perfectly serviceable and innocent proper meanings. The only words I can even think of that have explicit intended meanings are the D word, the F word, and maybe the S word since it intends to be excrement. (But crap is usually accepted and other words involving excrement are also similarly accepted)
Even then, the D word is losing its punch in modern society.
In my understanding, it's not necessarily our duty to monitor these changes of words as the world will have words mean whatever it wants them to, but it is our responsibility to use the words as they are intended to be understood, and to make sure our meanings are clear. Sometimes this will involve foul language, but the majority of the time, the VAST majority of the time, it won't.
I mean I’m a Christian and I cuss quite a bit I know I shouldn’t but I do it a lot but trying to not say bad stuff as much I should due to the Holy Spirit convicting my heart
I say profanity, although can be seen as "inappropriate" and "rude" are only that way around people who believe so. I find it that way, so I avoid it. I only occasionally use it for certain times. As long as I'm speaking life and love, I'm speaking right.
Would you use profanity in front of Jesus or at a church? The thing is if you change yourself for different places you're at you're being a hypocrite. The fact is swearing is sinful and not becoming of a Christian
@@PaladinThizz Same thing can be said about our posture and clothing we wear though. So many people dress up to go to important meetings but couldn't care less about what they wore to church. Mean while for me with profanity I find it to be unnecessarily harsh language that shouldn't be practiced especially as Christians, but I wouldn't define the word itself as a sinful thing
