No, it just means you stumbled. Human's can't be perfect. That's why we have confession and grace and forgiveness.

No, this does not automatically make you a bad person. It may just indicate an area in which you have to grow and develop some discipline.
Or you may have just stepped on a Lego for the 10th time in the dark!
It also depends on what you call "cussing". What is a cuss word on the East Coast won't even cause a raised eyebrow in the Midwest. Cussing is cultural. If it bothers your conscience, though, perhaps you should work on it.
The Christian life is a journey. You're going to mess it up a lot, because you are a human being. Just dust yourself off, apologize where necessary, and keep going.

If you don't use the Lords name in any way that could be seen as a bad example then you need to ask for forgiveness. If you use anything else that is considered worldly. That does not mean you are a bad person you fell, skinned your knee, will get up and go on. In the New Testament Jesus keeps referring to the physical father. He did this so we could understand. Just don't use the expletive that was heard around the world. The news media might hear. We are by no means a perfect people. Sometimes the ways before hearing and believing come sliding back in. Ask forgiveness and go on.

No, it does not make you a bad person. It makes you human. We all make mistakes. If you believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin, then you are a Christian and a stumble or mistake cannot take that away.
If you do not use the Lord's name in vain cussing is not a sin. It might not be nice, but it does not rise to the level of sin. I think most of us cuss on occasion, don't you?
God bless you.

Cussing is bad, but it is not going to stop you from going to heaven. The thing is, everyone sins, it is just that when you are a Christian, you try not to. But since everyone makes mistakes, God will forgive you. It doesn't mean you should do bad things just because you can get away with it. It means that God loves you and if you are sorry he will help you do better and forgive you.

Cussing is wrong, but that doesn't make you a bad person. A verse in the bible says, "And whatever is Good, righteous, and just, think on these things." God loves you with all of your blemishes, just because you made a bad choice doesn't automatically make you non-christian. :)

A person becomes a Christian in one day.When that day comes is different for everyone.Many are called and few are chosen. It is written two will be walking and one will be taken. Cursing "Christians are in two categories. ones that have been called and really sad those that attend because their family does. The other group are the backsliders that have not yet accepted their forgiveness.
Most of us Christian and not sin everyday, but not all of us are forgiven.The true believer feel remorse when he sins and seeks forgiveness and tries not to sin again.
As to your question, in the eyes of God there are no good people. Only God is good and man can be nothing God is.

No not at all. While cussing is not a good thing if you are not taking the Lord's name in vain there is nothing in the Bible that I am aware of that says don't do it. It is like any other bad habit it can be kicked. Ask the Lords help and just try to be aware of what you are saying. Don't worry if you have relapses just keep trying.

Once you ask Jesus into your heart, and He moves in, He's gonna begin redecorating. Evidently, in your heart, as in everyone else's (mine included), there are some major renovations that need to be made. Your use of cuss words may be one of those renovations. Give Him time, work with Him, and, eventually, He will make a beautiful Temple out of what was once a slum...
He's still working on me. But we're making some progress, in spite of the numbers of times He's had to work around me. If He can change me, He can change you, too.
God bless!!
