Name something that is a sin, that most people don't consider a sin. Why don't most people think its a sin? How is that sin, a sin? (my bestfriend is at work and this girl was playing a game that asked her that question_

Really, anything that is not Christ-like is a sin

My question is what constitutes fillthy communication of your mouth? That has always been up for debate. Technically, if you say "Waaammp you" and there is malice behind 'wamp' then its profanity. Now if you say... "That sh!t was hot" whats wrong with that? Sh!t is a great all purpose noun and and there is no malice, anger, wrath, blasphemy behind it in context. Its just another word. Now if you say "You ain't sh!t!!!" thats different. Plus i'm sure it wasn't around in biblical times and although it may be profanity to us it isn't to people in other languages. I think it what is profane depends mostly on how it is used in context. Thats just my opinion tho.
Look at it like this "filthy communication of your mouth" is any that you know is inappropiate. I do agree with you that regular words used with malice behind them is just as bad as cursing, however using curse words I believe isn't acceptable in any situation. Ok let's use your quote for example. Would you say, "That sh!t was hot" in front of your mother? Or would you say it in front of your church? Or better yet would you say it in front of Jesus? Probably not, and you know why? Because despite what argument you give, in your heart and in your mind you know that there's just something inherently wrong with cursing...

The question is what is cursing... i think u missed my point earlier. If you look at the bold according to that scripture you posted regular word with malice behind them ARE the same as curse words, not just as bad, they are one in the same. Now as for the last argument u have a good point. It has been bought up a million times before though and it really is subject to opinion. Deep down in my heart i don't consider them to be profane but I also respect others enough not to use what they consider to be foul language. As for the church/parents thing... lets be real honest here, if i did say "**** or sh!t' in front of the church of course they would be shocked. But how many in the congregation use language liek that on a daily basis. Also what it really boils down to is what is the origin of these words and why are they considered to be profane in the first place. Things change and there was a time i couldn't even sa "****" in the house but now the word **** is accepted as common language and people don't think twice about it (thats another argument). So to me the only way to distinguish is how these words are used in context. BTW I'm really just trying to present some other perspectives. I believe and understand where u're coming from i'm just tryin to present some other perspectives because i believe people can be a lil too close minded about things nah mean.
