Anonymous asked: Just cause more than cursing falls under unwholesome, doesn't mean you can excuse it all. "But that is not going against cussing, cussing merely fits under that category." If cursing is unwholesome and the bible says to speak no unwholesome thing, then it is wrong. Also, there's an awful lot of personal interpretation with saying what is equivalent to what was spoken of at the...
Anonymous asked: i am not looking at you poorly, nor am I judging you I am just being honest. haha
Anonymous asked: I came off as ignorant when I did try and argue with people, it is good to read the Bible and learn all that you can but God will be the one to show you how to interpret things.I find now that I am much more loving and open minded to others, more people are willing to listen and try out going to church with me than ever before :) back when I argued over every little thing I was looked at poorly....
voiceinthewind asked: Romans 6:1-2 What the NIV translates as “By no means!” is the Greek “Me genoito” which is the strongest Greek idiom to indicate repudiation (refusal to accept and implies a casting off or disowning as untrue, unauthorized, or unworthy of acceptance) and even conveys the idea of outraged indignation. In other words, it was equivalent to today’s “hell no!”
voiceinthewind asked: Phil 3:8 "garbage" in the original greek is skybalon meaning dung or excrement. It was a vulgar word but Paul used it to get his point across. It has been found in ancient graffiti and in manuscripts linking it as pure profanity! Paul purposefully uses a vulgar and offensive term in his letter in order to grab the attention of his readers and get into their faces. But this isn’t...
Anonymous asked: Unwholesome: Not characterized by or conducive to health or moral well-being. It is not necessarily tearing someone down if it is unwholesome. It only means it is helpful to moral well-being.
Anonymous asked: There's no place in the Bible that says you can use unwholesome things if they act neutrally to those around you.
Anonymous asked: If you would stop trying to make me continuously prove what I did and prove what you're saying then you would have a case.You can do things that are positive with your words, but I'm talking about cursing in particular and with swearing, it is not neutral nor positive.
Anonymous asked: "Why should I have to prove it?" Because if you can't then it is invalid. You assume that I am already wrong, but I have proved it by taking it straight to scripture and you haven't done that. Also, I did prove it. I said If you can prove that it is not a sin, then please show me. It is unwholesome talk and the bible says black and white that "no unwholesome talk should...
Anonymous asked: It is your opinion that swearing isn't sin. Interpretation of the Bible is one, but application is many. One can't say something is a sin and another man say it is not. It either is or it is not. If you can prove that it is not a sin, then please show me. It is unwholesome talk and the bible says black and white that no unwholesome talk should not come out of your mouth.
Anonymous asked: "Also, people keep saying that I am saying it is okay to sin if you have the right motives, I am not. At all. What I am saying is that if you swear without false motives it isn’t a sin." That sounds quite contradictory doesn't it? Swearing is a sin because it is considering unwholesome talk, unless you can prove otherwise. Which would mean that if you swear "without false...

Super duper antsy. I can’t sit still.
No offense to Naomi, Ijust find this to be a pretty funny ‘Coincidence’
Anonymous asked: To "voiceinthewind": Where does Paul use sh** it in the bible? Even if Paul did, does that mean it's okay? He's human which means he is imperfect and sins. We're not to look at the example of men, but rather God. You say that the bible doesn't say our words are displeasing to God, but where does it say our motives are? I believe is says what sin is and tells us not to...
Anonymous asked: Also, the sake of argumentation is not to "pick apart people's views", but rather to defend the faith to bring those closer to Christ. If those aren't your "motives" then even this is wrong.
voiceinthewind asked: Here is a point. Duper is a curse word in Polish. Shall we eliminate it from our language? (for those keen kids that say super duper) Fuck is not a curse word in England (so I'm told) should we make them eliminate it from their language? Words are not displeasing to God. The bible never says that. Your meaning behind those words are. Should we be set apart? Yes. But it should be our actions...
Anonymous asked: your post says Good night More views to be picked apart tomorrow.
no offence but being a Christian isnt about picking other peoples views apart, its about loving the lord and loving everyone because of him. You are supposed to teach the lords teachings with love. when you go after people with your opinion like this it only scares people away. Trust me, I learned the hard way. God...

Goodnight.
More views to be picked apart tomorrow.
I am done.
If you cannot make sense of your own words then I cannot make sense of them for you.
My point was not that the light switch had sinned, but that you had sinned by using the light switch and not giving glory to God. I am pretty sure a child could have figured that out.
