Cusing What part of the Bible tells you that you shouldn't cus? I mean I've been looking for it but i can't find it. Can someone give me the exact line/lines in which it says. Then maybe explain it to me so I will understand better? Thanks...

The truth is... the Bible doesn't tell you about cussing. The Bible asks you to be respectful to to your neighbors, family, and God. Cussing is a local thing. Most of the curse words we have today didn't even exist in biblical times. The real issue is socially, several words are unacceptable and show ignorance and low class. If you have a strong enough vocabulary you shouldn't need to resort to a 4-letter word. And you should certainly respect God, your neighbors, and your family but the reality is, cursing is a socially unacceptable thing... not a biblical thing. So rest assured, the occasional 4-letter word does not necessarily mean you are doomed to an eternity in hell! ]
I don't believe it's a sin, just frowned upon.
To elaborate a little more on what the other person said, how you dress shouldn't effect how people look at you, but it does. It says a lot about you, how much time you take to look nice, if you have money, the effort you put in, etc. Your language is the same, it doesn't mean that everyone who cusses has poor values, it's just that it's not very charismatic and people could very easily judge you wrongly. ]
Trust me its totally there. I will put a few scriptures down for you:
Ephesians 5:4 Foul language is not fitting for a Christian
Colossians 4:6 Our speech should reflectour relationship with God
1 Timothy 4:12 Our speech should be an example to others
If you have more questions or need more help i would be happy to help! :D Our language should show people who we are and what we are about. Not swearing and being nice makes people wonder why we are so good and we can say because of the greatness of our Lord. Remember if u have ANY questions send me a message in my inbox!

PS i think u spell cus, cuss. :P ]
the only one i know if is in the 10 Commandments and it says not to use the Lord's name in vain.
like saying G-D and stuff like that. I'm sorry I don't know where the 10 commandments are but i'm not sure that the bible even says anymore than that on it. ]
