Where in the Bible does it say that a person cannot use cuss words?

Answer 1

lotsa places

go to biblegateway.com and reference the word "profane"

Answer 2

It doesn't. However, cuss words have a strong negative connotation that people really don't like hearing. It's likely that people who are offended by such words would protect their right to not hear them with a conviction that is similar to following rules set by the bible... so that's probably how people got the misconception in the first place.

Answer 3

Who cares if it is in the bible or not. Using cuss words shows your level of intelligence or lack there of. The smarter you are the more you can express yourself effectively without cusswords.

Answer 4

It doesn't... it simply said don't use his name in vain. This means don't swear an oath to do something by god and not follow through with it after. There was an instance in Judges where one claimed that he would sacrifice to God the first thing he saw when he returned home after war. Sadly for him, his daughter ran out from his house when she saw him arriving on his carraige and woke him... so he HAD to commit blood sacrifice in order to appease God over his oath. So that tale apparantly showed the danger of making idle oaths to God... though personally I thought it meant "people who take their faith to seriously are a danger to themselves and others".... but there you go.

There is NOTHING wrong with screaming the F-bomb in the middle of church. Why would God be offended? He gave us all genitals to use and the pleasure with it to make it enjoyable. Sadly, sex is fun and religious zealots are sad and miserable people who need to punish others for the pain they inflict on themselves. There's nothing wrong with the various words for poop either, else God would have given us all buttplugs. Poop is just very wretchedly fragrant and offends people to think of it... so then aghast christians naturally claimed that god was opposed to all fecal matter. What about "Damn?" Well, it only appears in the bible 13,573 times... so I guess god's fine with it.

To claim that other words that are references to anatomy are dirty and sinful is a DIRECT INSULT to God who made all those parts. What does God care which unscientific word you use to describe a penis, vagina, anus, breast, etc? He made them all and he's surely proud of them. He sure made certain they'd be the most pleasurable parts to touch too, so that right there is God's plan.

Don't believe the faithful liars!

Answer 5

I don't know any versus but I remember things about a loose tongue and a tongue like a double edge sword and stuff like that. It's not one of the ten commandments and isn't considered that bad but if your a follower of Christ it's frowned upon mainly ,I think, because of the anger or hatred behind the words.

Answer 7

In Matthew Genesis 5, verse 346, it says "Thou shalt not cuss". The next verse says "Thou shalt not fart in department stores".

Answer 8

It doesn't say this but one of the ten commandments is " Thou shalt not say the Lord's name in vain." Feel free to be a trash mouth if this is your calling.

Answer 9

It's in the ten commandments

--"Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain."

My mom used to say that we weren't allowed to take HER name in vain, so when I first remember learning the commandments, I automatically thought she must be God.

I'm STILL not convinced they're separate people . . .

Answer 11
