Let's start off talking about my day at school. I started off the day with PE, probably one of my favorite classes because we just talk and have fun. For our final project, our teacher made us teach the class for a day, and today the group teaching did a decent job. Next I had band. Personally, I don't really like band because it's kind of boring, but I guess the music that we get to make is pretty cool. Following band I had science. We did some writing about the milk, food coloring, and detergent experiment. Science isn't that bad of a class, but just not my favorite. After Science was Language Arts, the least favorite class of most of the students in our village. Recently, our teacher went on maternity leave, so we were left with a substitute teacher. We do not accomplish much in class, and many people do not pay attention. I don't even think they're teaching the curriculum. While other classes are doing grammar and such, we are reading some story and doing nothing. Then I have History. History is a class I decently enjoy. The teacher is really chill and makes learning about US history fun. Lastly, I have math. Math is one of my favorite subjects, and today we learned about special right triangles.
Today we will be discussing: What does the bible say about cursing?
In life, whenever we are frustrated or something doesn't end up the way we want it to, we tend to swear. Some of which include the f-word and s***t. As we continue to do this, it slowly becomes a habit. Naturally, you will begin to say it more often without even thinking. Now, what does the bible say about this?
In the bible, the concept of swearing is used in how we relate to people. In Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, he talks about the consequences of swearing and cursing another person. He said, " You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgement. But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgement; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be liable to the hell of fire.(Matthew 5:21-22)
When people curse us, our first instinct is probably to curse them. However, Jesus wants us to do the opposite. In Luke 6:27-28, Jesus tells us to love our enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. These people that are cursing you, may need encouragement, or acceptance because of the way they have been treated. Before we blurt out some dirty words, we should think before we speak.
In Matthew 15:10, Jesus says, " it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth that defiles a person." This quote is telling us that unclean words come from an unclean heart. As we speak more and more unclean words, our purity goes lower and lower.
What can we do about this? One way to prevent yourself from swearing is to read God's word. The bible purify's your thoughts and will affect your actions and words. We should try to filter what comes out of our mouth, so that what comes out is positive and uplifting, instead of the words that can hurt feelings.
