Comments on: Is it OK for Christians to CUSS? http://blackandreformedministries.com/2008/04/04/is-it-ok-for-christians-to-cuss/ "But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises."

Too often we flaunt our liberties. However, the scriptures give us a clear pattern of when it's okay to cuss. Remember "cuss" is slang for "curse". I believe that false teachers are the one group who made Paul and Jesus "cussing mad". Jesus mocked and insulted false teachers. Many of the parables humiliated the pharisees- and he clearly used "damning" language in Matthew 23:13-39 and Luke 11:37-54. Paul uses langage that can be literally translated as modern "cuss words" in several places. The same Paul who wrote Ephesians 4:29 also cursed false teachers in Galatians 1:8&9 and 3:10. He used "gross" or "offensive" language in Galatians 5:12 and Philippians 3:2&7. We shouldn't cuss to be cool- but Paul was happy to cuss false teachers.
