Profanity
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me"
I beg to differ with the above.
Words are in fact powerful tools. Unkind words or names can be harmful to the one who uses it as well as the one being spoken against. What do lawyers use to build their cases? Words.
What are printed on the newspapers? Words. What do government use to speak to its people? Once again, words. Even God used Words to create the earth by speaking everything into existence.
We, therefore, need to watch what we say and not say.
Bible tells us that when a man curses or uses profanity, it is a sign of evil that is in the heart of the man. It is somehow common for men and even women to curse/use profanity. It is a "norm".
Some uses profanity to vent their frustration. Think about it, how does profanity help in solving problems?
I am always against people cursing, not since young though. I do admit that I swear pretty much in the past and I still do when I get frustrated. But now, it is certainly to the minimum, like once in a month. The very attitudes of cursing is demeaning and often put down people. That's the reason why I detest it so much. I've told you many times that I hate it. Hate is a strong word and I've used it here.
"go to hell". This definitely comes from the devil who wants you to join him in hell. So why use it?
Do not render evil for evil,
But render blessings for evil.
I am still human being. I do make mistakes as well. Do not shoot me even if you ever caught me letting out words of foolishness.Labels: Bible reading
