The bible never said you can’t swear. It did say not to use God’s name as a swear.

You are correct in that the commandment which forbids the taking of the Lord’s name in vain does have a specific meaning, however there are many passages on the issue, and I think you are in grave error not only denying the application of those passages, but actually advocating the same to others.

There are four subcategories, swearing, obscenity, vulgarity, and profanity.
There is also a positive principle, that your speech must always edify.
Others have said here that cussing is a sign of low intellect, but that is not your problem. Your problem is that one day you will stand before the terrible white throne.
“...for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain!”

Believing these people who justify their corrupt speech?
THAT is the sign of low intellect.

Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
