Maybe you have even said it yourself. It's even used in text language. Whether you have heard it, or used it, have you ever wondered Well, even if you've never thought about it, today I want you to. Every now and then it's good to stop and think about what we do compared to what the culture does. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.
My brothers and sisters, this should not be. When you think of cursing you often think of the use of what we call foul language which includes dropping F-bombs, or using 4-letter words.
In fact, back in the day, there was an expression, "cursing like a sailor," which meant a person used a lot of foul language or had a foul mouth. I used to work at a major delivery services company, and let me say the language I heard was really bad. Honestly, the women cursed just as much or more than the men did. It was another reminder of the day and age we live in and that was twelve years ago. One more thought on cursing. There are other ways cursing is used and defined in scripture.
For example, cursing can be a form of condemnation or judgment. Blasphemy is when you slander or speak abusive language against God. There are many instances in the Bible where blasphemy occurs and what you usually see is a blatant disrespect for God or the things of God. Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them. God wants us to know that His name is important. Damaging a Church Vandalizing a church is a form of blasphemy. This is because you are destroying a religious object. It also falls under sacrilege. Defined as the sin of pre-marital sex, fornication includes all cohabitation outside the bonds of marriage.
Another definition takes it as the sexual intercourse involved in prostitution, while a broader sense includes all forms of adultery. All Sin is not the Same While God does see sin differently we now have Jesus to forgive us of our sin. Envy is one of the Seven deadly sins in Roman Catholicism. OMG has a number of meanings ranging from excitement to disbelief.
For a vast number of American teens, it has replaced the exclamation mark. It's nothing to be thought about. I don't know if that's a fair way to think about it. But it's how I make myself feel better. Julian Schneider, 14, agrees. For hundreds of years, people have found ways to avoid using the Lord's name in vain. Words like gosh and golly, both dating back to the s, served as euphemisms for God. Every Christian should be outraged that the name of the Lord is used with such disrespect.
The point is that people use his name as an insignificant figure of speech. Officially, Yahoo avoids the conflict altogether. Stanley Hauerwas, a religion professor at Duke Divinity School, takes a different slant.
He has been known to liberally salt his everyday speech with profanities. It usually has the grammar of a lament. It is used five times as much by women as by men. In fact, our culture is more tolerant of profanities than obscenities.
