Sin is defined as transgression of the law(1 John 3:4), and the law is defined in the Torah (1st 5 books of the bible) for any newbies on here that dont know that. But here is my story.


The other day I was at a light in heavy traffic and it turned green a lady behind me started honking for me to go through the intersection, to the point where I would have been blocking a busy intersection. She has honking and screaming and almost hit me because I wouldn't go, so I got very angry and gave her a Hawaiian peace sign with my middle finger and called her a female version of mans best friend for the way she was acting. I know I was wrong and asked for forgiveness, but my friend when I told her what happened said I didnt sin, I just made a mistake, so I asked if calling a woman a B___H is okay in the eyes of God to her regardless of how they were acting.

She goes on to say that it was a mistake, not a sin, because its not in Torah. So because the bible does not specifically say "do not curse at someone" in the Torah, does that mean its not a sin to curse because its not in the Torah? I know alot of others that think like that too.



It is a poor habit, calling a woman a ***** of course is a sin, as it is not showing love. Using the word ***** of course would not be a sin. Actually foul mouthed people appear less educated, and most people would not choose them as associates. Can you picture Jesus and the apostles cussing during their conversations. While not necessarily being a sin, it would show a lack of maturity in a Christian sir.

You should not condemn someone you know, nor curse a stranger.

I agree that in today's culture, usually the use of profanity does indicate a lack of ability to express oneself appropriately. It does make one look bad.

Having said that, Jesus had some rather harsh words for the Pharisees. At times, the apostle Paul was rather direct in his assessment of others, as well.

No doubt all the apostles stated was not written down Rick Jn 21:25. God's people come to know Him sir, and while most who do not belong to Him realize that fowl language is an undesirable trait, we who do know and serve Him would consider it a sin. Make no mistake though, many of us on occasion use "french", I know I do, and wish I could quit. As I am getting older I find it much harder to control. My mom became bad about it prior to her death, and I see myself graduating that way, and I certainly do not like it.

As we would agree Baptist, Jesus' words were not sin, nor were they out of line. What he stated was true, and he has been given the keys to life or death, so he makes the call. I understand why he did it, they tried to undue every bit of good things he did. Of course Christians are no stranger to this, observe how many try to undue the good seeds I plant. No doubt Jesus takes note of this sir.

And of course saying the word hell is not either, but even though you increased the serious of the word no, you really didn't use it in it's intended way.
