Ephesians 5:3-13

. . . .
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.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

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".

This same question could be asked about someone with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Is a believer with one of these conditions considered less a believer if they have forgotten anything they knew about God?
I believe that God is in charge of keeping my salvation, not me. And if a medical condition arises that takes away my conscious knowledge of Him, He still knows me.
Don't know much about Tourette's, but it seems to me that if a person has a condition over which they have no control, God doesn't hold that against them.

Originally posted by The RemonstrantThe context is not narrow enough to be confined solely to sins of a sexual nature; you are correct.
I used to not understand what it meant, or why "jesting" would be condemned, or what exactly "foolish talking" meant. And then I looked at the passage real closely and figured it out.

It's also kinda like suicide... people ask, "if they commit suicide, do they go to hell"? And I answer "if they die of cancer, do they go to hell?" I think, in many cases, suicide is a kind of sickness - deep depression, or whatever (I don't pretend to understand it) but I think often it's the result of a sickness.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

And so we leave those situations in God's hands. Because only He knows the heart.
