| Profanity Is Not Innocent |
|
| |
5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Profanity is not just harmless words for the place of eternal torment and feces. As popular as vulgar language has become, it’s not as cool as it’s cracked up to be. There are many pitfalls to profanity. Here are a few. The use of profanity:
fuels inner anger, frustration, and rebellion,
creates unthinking, habitual patters of speech,
hampers heartfelt communication,
fills human minds with gross thoughts and images,
hinders personal and spiritual growth,
offends many people and causes them to think less of you,
causes adults to sound like immature adolescents,
takes away self-control,
programs the mind for misery and self-destruction,
limits creativity,
creates the appearance of lack of intelligence,
indicates a passive surrender to verbal peer pressure,
sets a bad example for others
shows disrespect for yourself and for others.
As believers in Christ, shouldn't we rise above using profanity and use wholsome, clean, and uplifting words?
Shouldn't we avoid watching movies and programs that spew forth profanity?

| Does that mean that HBO stands for Hell's Broadcast Offerings? Rap music is so bad even Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton condemn it.There's not a movie made in filthy Hollywood that has a rating above G that's not without profanity laced in it. PG-13 has become the old r rating in move making. The Clinton's open the door for lots of the filth being poured out on America. Do ask and don't tell.... |

| Praise: Personally, I try not to watch anything worse than PG. Rarely I will watch a PG-13 if I hear it is not too bad. |
