Didn’t want to hijack RS’s thread www.actscelerate.com/viewtopic.php?t=83668I hear so much of it where I work, I don’t pay much attention to it. There use to be a point years ago where I would ask the person cussing to try to speak without cussing so much and normally it worked. But now-a-days it seems cussing is just accepted and expected. People do know that I am a Pastor and after they cuss some do apologize, but I do get tired of hearing it and I wish just for one day not to hear a single cuss word.
What is cussing?
It bothers me a lot when it comes from believers.
Something to keep in mind as well, is that cussing largely depends on what part of the world you live in. Nevertheless, Christians ought to let their speech be becoming of a life in Christ.
It bothers me when people refer to God or Jesus in a disrespectful manner. Adults cussing around my children bothers me.I was taking the kids to the zoo, and a couple of guys in their early 20’s walked by, and right as they walked by, one of them dropped an F-bomb in his comment to his friend. I was surprised that I started to get a bit angry. I was thinking of telling him to watch his language around the kids, but he was gone, going the other way, and I figured it was better to leave it alone. It also bothers me when people involved in the ministry cuss. I realize there are some cultural things with some blakcs being a bit more free with the word ‘Hell’ in their culture. I was watching some videos, not religious videos, but videos from a guy who does street evangelism overseas who has a Christian blog. And he dropped the F-bomb a couple of times, had the s-word in the title of a video, and made a joke insinuating that the women of that country were loose women. That sort of thing bothers me________________
We heard someone say a cuss word at church Sunday.Another parent asked my daughter if that bothered her.She said No, she was in the stands at the Gator game on Saturday. She heard some words that she was sure was cussing – but didn’t know what they meant________________
If its out in public I always try to handle it with a bit a humour. If me an momma comes up on a group a folk talkin trash, cussin an carryin on, I look em dead in the eye an say You folk think ats cussin? You don’t even know what cussin is. I then reach over an grab some cash outta momma’s purse an tell her Hey, this is mine. Then I let her go off on em wannabe cussers. By the time momma gits finished goin off on one a her Kentucky Kuss-Fits, hey, them wannabes just walk off shamed an red faced.
Not if you are referring to the literal place.But telling someone to go there is a curse in the Biblical sense of the word________________
Jesus said fornications proceed out of the heart, too. Fornication is an f-word________________
Yes!!!If I start to watch a movie and they start cursing I change the channel.I wanted to see the movie about the sniper but refused to hear the language I hear was in it________________Recorded Sermons @ http://www.pastorwiley.com

Misusing God’s name really bothers me too. God’s name is something that should be held in reverence.NBF wrote:
