but the words of the wise bring healing.
Colossians 3:8

8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
Originally posted by SuzianneI think the Bible verses that I found, tend to link the sin to the state of mind, the intentions, etc. of the person speaking. Nowadays, many of us don't have ill intent or any specific intent at all, when we use words that would have led to discipline when we were little.
I do not think 'cussing', or maybe more properly, 'cursing', is all that sinful.
Blasphemy, now, is FAR more sinful.

If I were you I'd begin to worry how others may view your never ending attempt to get me to converse with you everywhere I post a comment. I post and sure enough..there you are.
Let it go and find another to harass or whatever it is your doing.......
