Is cussing a sin?

Some people say that there are no evidence in the Bible that says cussing is a sin but they really haven't done their research and study.

sketchtwennytwo, you have a brain - its people like you who give me hope for Christianity's future..

yes, i do agree that swearing isn't sinful UNLESS used with malicious intent.. the same applies to insults that DON'T contain swear words or references to fecal matter, etc..

"you're not worth the oxygen you breathe!"

thats pretty harsh.. not colorful, but still as harsh:

"you're a fucking waste you piece of shit!"

This is how I see it. The Bible does basically say that we should only speak things that lift others up..I hear that. But it does not cite specific words that should not be said. In my opinion, "cuss" words IN AND OF THEMSELVES are not necessarily sinful. I believe that the sinfullness of using a cuss word lies within the INTENT and/or MOTIVATION of the user...in other words, when they are used to demean someone or in rage its sin. But I think in the context of, say,

Thankyou for humbling me with this great vid, I can see my own hypocrisy with this matter now in a much clearer way

yes SWEARING is a sin, that means not to swear as in "i swear on the bible,God... etc.,that doesn't mean cussing,there is a difference

Yes, it's a sin. Even the early chapters of proverbs command us to depart all evil words from our lips and tongues.

I too was always under the impression that by swear the verses in matthew were referring to making a promise like when people say stuff like "I swear to god" etc not as in cussing... As for the other verses I think they just mean horrible, malicious sayings or insults in general...

Words only have as much power as we give them. And sometimes it's okay to cuss. Paul did it when he was angry at a church for misbehaving. There's such a thing as righteous anger.

And I think the verses in Matthew mean swear as in promise, not swear as in cuss word.

@nuclearartist for whatever period of time for god is a huge punishment when you realize that after u die He is the only thing youd want..hell is definitely worse but in my mind if you tried to go to hell on purpose it woyuld take a lot of work unless u had a malformed conscience or knowledge of good and bad...basically hell is for EVIL people not those who killed a man and harted himself for doing it and repented or felt sorry for it or whatever christians believe

@nuclearartist earth to be used as examples..look cussing IS NOT as sin unless it is directed at some to hurt them otherwise it just words..KILLING IS a sin unless its a complete and total fluke beyond a shadow of a doubt...but either way if God created us and loves us the only reason we should go to hell is by completely denying him your conscience and anything else..ever heard of Purgatory? that is the punishment we should ALL get for sinning because Purgatory is a cleansing and having to

@nuclearartist its been awhile... look i get what ur saying but no way would God ever punish us on earth if He did that why are there still terrorists and shit who get off scot free in yemen or wherever..God doesnt punish people by striking them with lightning or whatever example u wana use God chooses people to die A NATURAL DEATH for a reason for example in the old testament when the angel of death killed all those people did they do anything wrong? no! god chose them before he created the
