Blog on Cursing the Christian Perspective

I've been around some people that say they are Christian, while they are constantly either cursing and/or putting other people down. I'm not saying they are not true believers, but they are definitely not mature/maturing Christians based on the Word of God, which I agree! I'm not here to judge, but as the Lord did, be put on a lamp stand, be the lamp and let the Lord shine His light through us. I know that brothers/sisters who do still have worldly tendencies and this is the result of either them pausing/stopping their pursuit in the Lord with all their heart, their mind, and strength or refuse to make God Lord (master) not just Savior. So, lets read the following bellow. Again, not to rebuke the individual, but rebuke the sin so that the person may be edified by the Truth, so that they cannot say I never knew that. This is what the Bible says:

1.
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Eph 4:29
2. For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech." 1 Peter 3:10
3. "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water." James 3:9-12
4. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

So therefore brothers and sisters, do not settle in living without seeing, pick up your Bibles and learn what God calls us to be for this world, salt to preserve and light to shine the Truth and the glory of Jesus Christ. It will not save you playing dumb and saying that "I didn't know." (Read the parable of the 4 types of Christians, only one will make it all the way, the one who seeks and tests the Word, which will see the Truth and use it in their life). Well I hope this truly shed some light. It is not meant to point a finger at the individual, but instead point out the works of the inner man that must be put away before we can claim a true believer.

God bless in your walk with Christ.
