Is it talking about profanity and swearing? Can you misuse God’s name without saying anything at all? http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203:5-8&version=NIV 2009-09-11T10:24:26-05:00 Christians are to put behind them all of the traits of their sinful nature. That includes filthy and profane speech; we're to make sure that the words that we speak bring honor to God. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%202:16&version=KJV 2009-09-04T12:10:31-05:00 Christians are to avoid any kind of profane talk; such language does not promote godliness or encourage others to be righteous.
