I’m totally gonna throw this in my next email…LMBO super funny! On a side note, I just got an email from my church about a Workshop for Women tomorrow night…wanna go?

LMAO,,,, oh, oopslmbo,, don’t feel any different, but still laughing. and spell check doesn’t like LMBO,,, maybe my computer isn’t saved!?!?!

Since that quote says it’s okay to say things from which people can benefit, it sounds like swearing IS okay if it cracks people up and makes them feel at ease. I’m good to go, though that doesn’t really permit me to call people c***s when I’m driving.

Bah, the whole “cusswords are bad” thingy is just another way for Christians to try to set themselves apart from others in a way that has no Biblical foundation. Paul is not talking about profanity here…and only those who desire to read that into the passage should see it.Indeed, Paul essentially used the word shit in one of his own epistles [Philippians 3:8...the word nicely translated as "dung, garbage, refuse, rubbish," or "filth" is pretty close to the Greek "shit."[shortest comment yet!]

When my husband was in some language class at Regent College he learned that about the Greek ‘scubula’ that Paul used which is translated as “loss.” I count everything as loss. Yeah right! Paul said shit.

I am reminded of how people used “hocus pick” instead of “holy shit”. “Shuckey darn” was also big with Mennonites.

bobby this was a reference – lmbo- to balls, no?btw i just used this reference on my facebook status. i didn’t even know that this was a censored slang word. and i used it. man, scary. actually i didn’t even know what LMAO was. I AM SO PURE!

I agree. I’ve tried to teach my kids this, too. However, I also want them to think before they speak whenever possible. For whatever reasons, it may offend a good friend of mine if I say, “shit” but they have no issue with me saying, “crap.” I just find that so bizarre. But it’s better to not lord your freedom over someone else that might struggle with it–that’s even scriptural.

I smell homeschool on Big Doofus.

I gotta get me that LMAO shirt!

“Butt” sounds more vulgar than “ass.”
Isn’t it merely a matter of interpretation?
(Oh no, don’t mention that word! Drives some people nuts. Particularly those who act as if Scripture originated with the KJV.)
