Does the bible say anything against using profanity?
It is definitely a sin to swear (curse, cuss, etc.). The Bible makes this abundantly clear. Ephesians 4:29 tells us, “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.” 1 Peter 3:10 declares, “For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.” ” James 3:9-12 summarizes the issue, “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.
I am a Christian, have been for a long time. I don’t think it says don’t use profanities, I’m not sure though; but it does say do not curse. In other words don’t wish bad things upon anybody/anything else. But you also have to take into account the fact that we as Christians are supposed to be living models of Jesus; so we try our hardest to represent him. Think of it this way, WWJD, would Jesus use profanities? Profanities can also be considered curses if they are used out of anger, or bad feelings. If you mean well when you say whatever word it is [maybe if you are talking about the literal meaning of a word for example], then nobody should take it the wrong way, therefore no problem.
