Sugar-Coated Cuss Words. Should a Christian say Gee?

To love one another.

 

Haw haw haw.

 

"...what life they have is spent in sniffing out heresy, and making earnest men offenders for a word. Into this spirit may we never be baptized! Whatever I believe, or do not believe, the command to love my neighbour as myself still retains its claim upon me, and God forbid that any views or opinions should so contract my soul, and harden my heart as to make me forget this law of love!" ---Charles Spurgeon

You have some good points. What has someone accomplished that has perfect curse free language and proceeds to the remote church corners to flap their jaws and gossip? If someone has perfect curse free language with anger and hate in their heart towars another, what have they accomplished?

Not that I want to ever hear the words, but you are going to hear it at work. If one can compare one bad situation to another, I would rather hear the person who slips with an occasional word without hate, anger, and gossip in their heart compared to the examples above.

It was mentioned about every idle word being accountable. That includes thought, attitude, etc.

By the way, the term "OMG" or any other term expressing the name of God or His qualities does not fit into the catagory of "sugar coated words." I would rather hear the most vile four letter word than OMG.

 

It's wrong to gossip, and it's wrong to employ vain, idle or meaningless chatter. One is not worse than the other. They're both sins of the tongue, and you WILL give account for every word.

 

Euphemisms are a joke. Are you trying to float one passed the FCC, the school board or the PC committee? Don't waste your time. God knows the intent.

 

How many threads are you going to post this on. So far it's been 2 I've seen.

If you want sugar-coated curse words, just learn to speak East London English. We grew up with them all.

That's right. I think others here are trying to minimize the sinfulness of their sugar-coated cuss words.

 

Just because someone makes an exclamation in either frustration of excitement does not mean they are always trying to cover up some ugly word.

 

Of course they are. Why do you think these expressions are called sugar-coated cuss words? Folks are trying to cover-up something more ugly-sounding in exchange for a less offensive term -- they are using euphemisms.

 

No....they are not. Not every instance of exclamations made in excitement of frustration are sugar coated curse words.

 

Okay, "Wow!", "Oh!", "What!" would be sinless exceptions to the general rule.

 

God looks at the heart and knows the intent of whatever anyone says or does.

I know of one guy who danced in his underwear as an expression of worship to God. I heard his wife criticized him for it. I think his name was David.

 

Personally, my relationship with God is not affected, nor is my disposition knocked out of joint, if someone uses the word "heck" or any derivatives thereof. But, to prevent us from offending another board member, perhaps those who take offense at words like "heck" should publish a list of do not use words in order that we not offend their religious disposition.

 

Yes, these are vile expressions from heck.
