Is cursing a sin?

Question

If you say yes, please give me a Bible quote to back it up.

Answer 1

Vain Words = sin of the flesh.


Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Psa 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

Deu 23:23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

Num 30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

Lev 5:4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with [his] lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever [it be] that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be guilty in one of these.

Psa 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Psa 106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

Psa 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Pro 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

Pro 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.

Pro 16:27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips [there is] as a burning fire.

Pro 23:16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

1Pe 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

and this is from one of the big 10:

Exd 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Here is something to think about when you sin.
1. what does the sin do to your spirituality?
How far will that sin take you from your belief? That is what sin is, it's something that separates us from the Holy Ghost because when we sin the Holy Ghost can not dwell in us and we must repent.

2. Does this sin become a practice that will control us?
This is the second danger of sin. Once it controls us it will make us ashamed and we will start to become less christian and more evil.

3. Does your sin cause others to fall from grace as well?
Sin doesn't just affect us. It also affects those around us. If we are causing others to sin as well then we may cause one of them to loose their faith as well.

God doesn't want to restrict your joy. He knows that if you follow his teachings you can be happy. But you have to pray to him and allow him to help you. You need to talk to him, even if it feels like you don't deserve it, you do! He loves you as a son and will forgive a sin you over come. He will also help you over come it. But don't try to over come sin by your self. Have others in the church help you. You need to find some one to talk to.

The first step is to find a church that can help you be a Christian in the truest sense.
