It was a vulgar expression of frustration and alarm, but not a "swear" because he was not making an oath. The modern use of the term "swearing" is only distantly connected with the practice of making oaths. Jesus spoke about this... He said "Let your yes be yes and your no be no; anything further than that is evil" (a paraphrase). There was a practice, and still is, where in order to convince someone of your truthfulness, you swear, perhaps "on a stack of Bibles"... that's making an oath. I have never been in court, but I've often wondered what I would do if told to put my hand on a Bible and swear to tell the truth. I would consider opening the Bible, reading that passage, and saying to the judge, "Yes, I will tell the truth". I might get a contempt warning with that though. ;)

I recall discussing the issue of certain four-letter words with my Dad when I was a teen. I argued that sometimes, such words are the most precise and concise expressions of thought and feeling that you can muster. I'd say that Q in the movie clip did exactly that, even if some would be offended by it.

Just use "dung" as this is a bible word (Philippians 3:8 among numerous others).

You can start a new trend among the dirty minded!

Shouldn't the ideal that the word may be improper be a big enough reason to refrain from using it?

A good rule of thumb is if you have to question if it's sinful, it probably is.

Cause... all words have meaning and those that use bad language are bad people.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks so a person with a filthy mouth is a filthy person... and that should be a red flag that maybe this is not a good person to be hanging out with or doing business with.

Dirty people do dirty deeds... so, unless you like being done dirty...

i still say that if in doubt leave it out... but then i read the tounge is like fire it sets your whole being a light but ths should not happen...and then i read from the same opening runs bitter and sweat water... so there i say it could be that the tounge is evil that spreads hate as no one as been able to tame the tounge....

Forgive my stupidity on this topic but i just wanted to get a diffrent perspective on this matter.. as i type with my fingers im trying to tame my fingers.. but its hard. lol

Its hard enough trying to tame my tounge but i am getting there but i know ill never truly tame it coz the bible says that no one has been able to.

I see that some still sees this word as a sin so i will refrain from using it anywhere in her from now on and i do apolagize if this thread as displeased in anyway..

So why ask,,,,,well its because i want to stop using this word and worried i might be sinning ...

I just wonder if its a sin to panic.. coz often when i panic i say this word amongst others..

But its hardly or not at all when im level headed..

The thing is tho How can i tame my tounge other than cut it out ?

Yes. There are two kinds of swearing- promising and fowl language.

"Don't not let any unwholesome talk come from your lips, but only what is useful in building others up."

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord."
