It is appalling to me how many different opinions we can have amongst Christians, on the use of bad language. Some feel it is ok, some don’t. For me, I am one of those people that does not like it, I don’t think there is ever a time where it is appropriate…and that is not to say that it does not happen. Since we are human and we do sin, it is going to happen. However, the blog about bad language got a little out of control. Apparently there are some that think it is ok to take the Lord’s name in vain. That it isn’t a big deal. The Ten Commandments plainly state…
20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
or if you are used to the NIV version of Exodus 20:7 - You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
Do the Ten Commandments not mean anything in this world today? Sometimes I wonder…someone blatantly used an example that took the Lord’s name in vain on that blog, and that is something I cannot tolerate…and I don’t understand those that can. It is NEVER ok to misuse the name of the Lord. NEVER. And those that do, or those that think it is no big deal, will answer to that someday. Not to me, but to someone much bigger.
So I am hoping that the blog on bad language is done, over, finished, because I won’t be making anymore comments on it, nor will I make any comments on this blog. I love it when people comment on my blogs, and I enjoy commenting back. But in this blog, I will not be commenting. You can say what you want, but remember, cursing or using the Lord’s name in vain, will get you reported.
