Featured Christianized Foul Language

I can see doing that if you're quoting, i.e. a story where someone else has said something and you just don't want that type of language on the screen.

But we've got some foul-mouthed people on here, and some who seem to be getting more and more liberal with their speech on here and on social media.

Like I've said before, don't spit in my face and then call me Brother. Likewise, don't cuss me out and think that all is well just because you put in a #,@,!,or * in the word instead of spelling it out.

I'm in complete agreement with you Rolfe and it should not be the way Christians communicate and I don't care how mad you are. But it tells me what people have been putting in themselves if when squeezed that's what comes out.

 

Yep. But they are angry so they feel it's justified. And it again goes back to what we've put in ourselves.

I've mentioned several times about how the church likes to go on and on about the proliferation of homosexuality in the movies and on tv, but doesn't say much about the "normalized" proliferation of gutterized heterosexuality in EVERYTHING.

And we do the same with foul language. We figure that it's not "that bad".

At this rate entertainment media(tv, movies, etc.) is becoming a lot like it is in Europe where they will show soft porn. And when we've got Victoria Secret Angels prancing around half dressed and nary a tv show that doesn't show or imply heterosexual fornication as though it is natural, I'm not surprised more and more folks who say they are Christians are talking like they aren't.

If you're watching and listening to the same things that lost, unchanged people listen to and watch, that's what is gonna come out.

 

There is not often that I will leave a conversation, or no longer support a ministry. When one engages in use of expletives even when quoting someone else or even substituting symbols, I consider it displaying a weak character.

I grew up with a father who couldn't put a sentence together without coloring, and even in my old age, the words fly back into my thoughts. But that is no excuse to use the words - even occasionally.

Now, I have heard that when some suffer strokes, that at times the lock on the gate of unacceptable and inappropriate speech is irreparably broken. I pray if that happens, God will grant me total silence rather than disgrace Him.

 

Why pick out one violation of the teachings of Christ over a boat load of other violations found in various posts on this board?

 

Perhaps the other "violations" are a little bit more subjective dependent upon who you ask. With the language, there's no question about it being a violation of the teachings of Christ.

 

Don't you think you should be a bit more specific?

Perhaps you can share the "boat load of other violations."

I don't journey away from the "Baptist debate forums" very often, and so perhaps you are witness to violations that I am not.

 

It makes them feel more righteous.

 

I'm not one who uses foul language very often... I have control over my tongue and especially my keyboard. However, for the sake of argument, how do you deal with the harsh language in scripture?

Ezekiel was particularly bad about it. I won't post it on the website so as not to break the rules, but here's the official Southern Baptist translation of a notorious passage that is quite faithful to the Hebrew.

 

The worst sins are the ones we don't commit.

Do you say "urinateth against the wall," or quote the KJV directly and condemn that particular translation?

 

The elevation and degeneration of words over time is fascinating.

And I agree with Baptist Believer, in that my keyboard is much easier to control than my tongue.

 

I don't think the Lord is offended by the s-word, if that's what you're asking.
