Is It Acceptable for Christians to Swear?

[other one]

Most of the words we decare as swear words are simply words we have decided are culturally not acceptable....... then one has to decide who gets to choose these words.

Words that take the Lords name in vain are definately a no no, however society has it's own list outside of sinfulness...... we shoud be careful what we call sin.

People who use the "F" word and those of us who let the "S" word slip out when we're excited over things can be called social outcasts, but be careful calling things sin.

Na... who is calling things sin ? Other One ?

Ungodliness ...is meaning not Godly .

Godly means... pure, clean and Holy...as Our Father God is.

Who is saying anything about Sin ?

I don't think anyone said these people are sinning. The scripture verses given in reference also do not say a man sins if he speaks with a foul mouth. They simply - and strongly - admonish that we as God's people, use grace and wisdom in our speech.

As Christians, we are to be a witness to those who are outside of Jesus. Being like the world, makes no impact for Christ.

Swearing is probably not acceptable for Christians, but I wouldn't necessarily discount someone from being a Christian just because they swear... as in the OP.

Still it is probably best to watch your language in general.

Please, I never said the woman wasn't a Christian. I only said she called herself a Christian. I do not know if she is one or not. I do not know her well enough to know what her spiritual state is. She joined my friend and I for lunch and her topic of conversation was swearing.

As for the woman in my church and her swearing, I never once indicated she wasn't a Christian. My gosh.

[Oh Hamburgers!]

My apologies, I see it was your friend who made that claim.

Well, this is probably unconstitutional but it is the standing law in Oklahoma:
