Why is it bad for Christians to say the F-word?

Question

I have never seen anywhere in the Bible where it says not to say F---, I never say D-mn or the Lords name in vain but I say words like sht, fk, and crp a lot because I don't see anything wrong with it.

Answer 1

Well, denotes low education

Answer 2

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

This verse isn’t just about the vocabulary, but also the content of what you are trying to say. We all should try to speak kindly, and use inoffensive language just as a matter of good manners. But since the bible was not written in English, no modern English words are prohibited outright. But it is an issue of the heart no matter what culture you are in.

Answer 3

Those particular words are not listed, nor would they be. However, here's something Paul says in the New Testament:

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it."

At the very least the f-word could be considered foul and crude (which could mean unwholesome or worthless talk), don't you think?

Answer 4

Ephesians 4:29- Let a rotten saying not proceed out of your mouth, but whatever saying is good for building up as the need may be, that it may impart what is favorable to the hearers

Ephesians 5:3,4- Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greediness not even be mentioned among you, just as it befits holy people; neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor OBSCENE JESTING, things which are not becoming, but rather the giving of thanks

Answer 5

When you consider that the F-word honestly originated because people in the United Kingdom ( I believe it was the UK) were being arrested
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, then to use the F-word is to honor sexual immorality and that is written throughout the Bible.

Answer 6

dont forget *****, sIut, and h0e. oh wait to some extent they're all the same thing.

I dont see anything wrong with saying any of these words either. After all "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"

Answer 7

Much the same reason as to why you call it the F-word.

Answer 8

it's called having respect for yourself and others around you.
