20 Bible Verses About Cursing and Swearing
Bible Verses About Cursing and Swearing
Bad words should not be used in any way. It is true that many times they can leave when the person is irritated and has no self-control. When this happens, you have to let time go by to calm down and ask for forgiveness. These types of words are regularly pronounced by involved or to get attention.
In either case, a Christian should never mention them. A person recently wrote to me telling me that a member of the Church had said that he was open-minded and not conscientious, so he asked that others be of broad criteria not to judge him lightly, since the case merited saying those swear words.
Cursing and the Bible
Cursing, the misuse of God’s name often happens thoughtlessly. In the third of the Ten Commandments (see Bible book Exodus, chapter 20), it is about that meaningless, empty use of His name. Cursing and swearing is entirely contrary to the purpose of creation; life for the glory of God and the benefit of fellow human beings
Jesus is a Name. Jesus is not an exclamation of annoyance. No careless interjection. No expression of intense emotion. Jesus Christ is the name of the Son of God. He came to earth 2,000 years ago to die on the cross and conquer death. As a result, our existence can get meaning again. He who says Jesus does not call a term of power but calls on Him.
God is a name. God is not a stop word. No exclamation of surprise. No cry to vent the heart in case of a setback. God is the name of the Creator of heaven and earth. The God who made us serve Him. Also, with our voice. Therefore, speak boldly about God, but never use His Name unnecessarily.
