Fowl Language?

Question

Can someone give me some verses from the bible on how god feels about cussing?

Answer 1

I cant think of any versess at the moment that explicitly mention cussing, but I think this applies:

Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way."
- Romans 14:13b

Cussing isnt seen as "Christian," so then it should not be done.

Answer 2

HERE'S THE BEST VERSE OF ALL

Romans 12:14
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Obviously misuse of the Lord's name is wrong and swearing by it, as stated in the second commandment.

Ex. 20:7 The Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.

Lev. 24:15 If anyone curses his God, he will be held responsible.

James 3:9-10 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.

Num. 30:2 When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.

Swearing is forbidden when it is done falsely, thoughtlessly, or in sinful, uncertain, or unimportant matters.

Lev. 19:12 Do not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.

Matt. 5:33-37 You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, "Do not break your oath but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord." But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne, or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your "Yes" be "Yes" and your "No", "No"; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Bible narratives: Peter swore falsely and thus committed perjury (Matt. 26:72). Certain Jews swore to commit murder (Acts 23:12). Herod swore in an unknown and unimportant matter (Matt. 14:6-9). Jephthah's thoughtless oath (Judges 11:30-40).

I can only think of one reason why profanity is wrong, it is not love toward your neighbor.

Galatians 5:14
The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

1 John 3:15
Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.

Answer 3

Ephesians 4:29, 31

(New King James Version)

Answer 4

Ephesians 4:29 tells us, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

1 Peter 3:10 declares, "For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech."

James 3:9-12 summarizes the issue, "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."

Answer 5

Apparently the church in Ephesus had this problem, because Paul wrote to them about this very subject. My kids know this one because I have them quote it when they are insulting toward eaech other or resort to name-calling:

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." - Eph. 4:29

Turn the page and Paul goes on:
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving." - Eph. 5:3-4


Finally, "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Eph. 5:19-20

Answer 6

No, but here are some verses about FOWL

Leviticus 1:14 - "If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons."

Leviticus 11:13 - "And these you shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,"

Deuteronomy 14:11 - "You may eat all clean birds. "

Answer 7

READ THIS DONT JUST PASS OVA IT

9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

James 3:12

Answer 8

On a serious note GEORGA is 100% right
On a more silly note, I have only heard one fowl swear: That was a duck...right after he Quacked up! Bugsie

Answer 9

Foul. And you probably ran a spell check too, didn't you. There should be a word usage check.

I don't know any verses, but it seems God is against foul language.

Answer 10

God hates fowls that speak, so he made all fowls mute. If you find a chicken that talks, it is the work of the devil.
