but is cussing actually a sin? I can see someone being sinful AND cussing, maybe being mean to someone while tossing out cussing and other abuse at them. But what about just using swear words as exclamations? (not taking God in vain ones)

Yeah, that's always puzzled me. I think, for us Christians, anyway, the "biggie" is cursing involving blasphemy...Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

I realize that's different from Tourette's Syndrome's coprolalia, but I think, like with my gramma, you have to realize "that's not really that person".Originally posted by Sparko View Postyep. God doesn't hold us responsible for physical or mental problems when people are not in control.

Back around 2005 I swore in front of my boss and he was shocked noting that he had never heard me swear before (in something like 3 years).
Now, unfortunately, partially due to the folks I work with, I swear all too frequently. Something I need to work on.For Neo-Remonstration (Arminian/Remonstrant ruminations): <https://theremonstrant.blogspot.com>

Originally posted by One Bad PigEntirely out of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving.
Ephesians 5:3-13
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
. . . .
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
If you read the whole chapter, in context it's saying that we shouldn't talk about sexual sins in an approving way, or even in a joking way or neutral way. Instead, we should only talk about them in a condemning way.
