    When did I "judge" anyone?

    I simply responded to the topic, giving my opinion, just like every one else.

    I adressed no one person individually

    Tom...

    I say a few of those regularly. The reason I do is because of the witness it projects. It makes very clear, to the hearers, the words that I am *choosing* to NOT say.

    :thumbs::thumbs: This is what it boils down to. The op and some others on here are looking for excuses to be vile. Unbelievable.

    Yep... looking at the wrong word... it is at the end of the sentence not the beginning.

    The question was: Can Christians cuss ?
    My answer is yes.
    Just like a Christian can get drunk, or brawl, or smoke, or behave generally like a child of the devil instead of a child of God.
    Now, if the question had been: SHOULD Christians cuss, or MAY Christian cuss, my answer would've been "no".
    It is not expedient for a Christian to cuss, or get drunk, or brawl, or smoke, or behave generally like a child of the devil instead of a child of God.

    Then you didn't read the OP carefully. Not surprising really.

    Um... no. The argument leveled against me repeatedly is about offending people. But not all people are offended by it. Therefore, the language can change as the company changes.

    The human company may change, but God is always there with you. Would you use that language in God's presence?

    Does it not matter to you if the language you use is offensive to God, regardless of the human company you're in?

    The better question is "Does that language glorify God?"

    If God is offended, which is really the core issue, then I would avoid it altogether. But God, who created language, I do not believe is offended by the appropriate use of certain words.

    Oh, I did. Your comment just above reinforces what I said. The fact you believe there are appropriate time to speak inappropriate things is not only dead wrong, but rebellious and ungodly.

    That's a very thin veil to make a stand on, but you're welcome to it I guess.

    Or you are dead wrong in saying that certain words are inappropriate at all times. I don't things words like s*** are necessarily inappropriate. But since certain members of society thinks they are, I avoid the use around them and reserve it for specific occasions.

    In the context and way I used it in the specific situation I mentioned... absolutely.

    The burden of proof remains on you to show not only how there is an appropriate time, but the words are not inappropriate.

    :thumbsup: ...And this is why this thread has lasted as long as it has.

    Unbelievable? Sadly, I'd say pathetic is more appropriate.

    Agree completely. Christians, trying to justify having a sewer mouth.
