By their fruits you will know them - Bible. There is a heart problem. He can't be reading his Bible every day like he claims with a mouth like that.......
The word shit refers to a substance produced by, or as a verb to an action performed by every living human being (actually, every living creature). It is a crude and rude expression, yes; but it is not abuse of the Lord's name or blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
We'd prefer he not use it, as it gives fuel to the anti-Christian element ("see, I told you he was faking religion"), but he is human like us.
Really? Where is the bible does it say you shouldn't say "shit"? Please point out the chapter and verse.

True:
No more attacks on our homeland soil
No hostage situations that involve hundreds of school children being killed
The respect and loyalty of many fine Christians
The respect and love of a woman who inspires respect and loyalty
Honors his parents and family
I am not looking for a debate about the current state of our President's soul. However, it seems somewhat presumptive to make the judgement call that he is not reading his bible everyday and that he has a 'heart' problem.
I would venture that the heart in question bears more of a burden than we are aware of. We all fall short of the glory, and sometimes we use cuss words. He is falliable, as we all are.
His use of sh*t has not caused this sister to stumble.
I question the 'heart' problem of the media that chose to print this exchange.
I don't like to see Christians curse. I believe it hurts the body. But I don't see an out and out prohibition against it and I think that there's a larger heart problem on the part of the judgers and nay sayers against fellow believers. I can read my Bible every day and still sin, I'm sorry to say. But it doesn't mean Jesus is not in my heart.
How about if he says "Holy $#!+"?
This post is for tmp02s benefit: Were you born stupid or did you have to train for it? I have never seen any passage in the bible that forbids the use of the word Sh**. Please indicate it for me/us.
Which is more foolish, to think that, or to post that on FR? Normally, someone posting obvious flame-bait is considered a troll!
Oh get off your high horse. The president is a human just like all of us
I do recall Jesus saying something to an accusing crowd, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"...which I guess is you, right tmp02?
Excuse my ignorance but I am not aware that the Bible addresses this word? Can you enlighten me?
Thanks.
Watch that log in your eye.
Barbara should wash his mouth out with soap.
As it happens, the KJV is sprinkled with salty words like piss and whore.
Grow up twerp. You must be a nerd if you have NEVER used that word.
Time for a bit of a language lesson.
AFAIK, there is only one "curse" word in the English language - the relatively mild "damn." More rare (and generally considered even miler) are "swear" words - "by Jove," "by jiminy," etc. Most common are the vulgar words -- those words that were once common usage, but have been replaced more polite terms: "sh*t" and "p*ss" were replaced by "feces" and "urine," for example. Other vulgar words include words that describe various bodily and/or biological functions. I will leave those as an exercise for you, dear reader.
Now, then, we see that President Bush did not curse anyone or anything, nor did he swear. Instead, he was guilty, at worst, of using moderately vulgar language. Considering that St. Paul himself had a standing request for certain people to emasculate themselves (see Galations 5:12 if you don't believe me), referring to Hezbollah's actions as "sh*t" seems downright mild, doesn't it?
You are an idiot.
Show me in Scripture where cussing is a sin.
There are numerous reasons why you can't use Scripture to say cussing is a sin.
But, here is the basics:
1) Scripture only explicitly says saying God's name in vain is a sin.
2) Scripture does say we are to use honorable language.
However, there is no objective answer to what words would be honorable or dishonorable. In the Middle Ages people were shocked and considered it cussing if you said "devil."
Now, shit barely phases anybody, and yes, I used the word. Deal with it.
tmp, you may not like it, but by saying he is immoral by using A ****HUMAN**** STANDARD for what is moral or immoral....and that is what you are doing because again, there is no BIBLICAL, OBJECTIVE way to judge what is "honorable" or "dishonorable", you are relying on man's ways and not God's.
You are an idolator. Now, I wonder what God would find more offense...saying shit or listening to the vain traditions of men instead of his Word.
Considering Scripture is filled with warnings against following vain tradition, I somehow think he would be more concerned about that.
Saying shit is not a violation of the commandment against using God's name in vain.
Grow up.
Are you for real?
