It was always my experience that profanity stemmed from a lack of vocabulary.

Meet Tony Campolo, Evangelist and Bill Clinton's counselor during the Monica controversy.

".. I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don't give a s**t. What's worse is that you're more upset with the fact that I said s**t than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.”

the pastor is a woman. it is modernist liberal church. cursing and swearing are the least of the church’s concerns. does not hold to any real doctrine. so his is just example of how there are certain denominations (mainstream) have fallen from God. Look at the United Church of Christ denomination - its church leadership example of jeremiah wright. ... dam. America. Can we believe that someone like Barack obama is a Christian . Look at the fruit he bears - lying, deceit, fraud, division and hatred.

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

“I don’t think church leaders should pretend to be something they’re not.”

Like pretending to be a Christian.

Should pastors swear to be more "real" and "relevant"?

No! But if a Pastor should slip and swear, he should not be treated as a pariah either. He's just another sinner, saved by grace.

I find it very interesting how Mormons think G.A. J. Golden Kimball was oh so special with his colorful language. And he was a coffee drinker? LOL

Jesus didn’t cuss when he was teaching.

As we say in Alcoholics Anonymous, “profanity is not a sign of spiritual growth.”

Forget what you’ve been told about the golden rule — God doesn’t love you more if you do good things, or if you believe certain things. God, [Bolz-Weber] argues, offers you grace regardless of who you are or what you do.


True, but to use the language she believes in, too bad the stupid biiicth never excepted that grace.

It is about money and nothing else on the so called pastors part.

Profanity stems from within the heart that is not clean. Have I ever used profane language? Rarely. Why, because the couple times I did, I felt that it grieved the Spirit, and was not showing that I was being conformed to the image of Christ. What happened to that part, anyway...the “being conformed to the image of Christ”? We are also to be careful not to encourage the weaker brother. When we don’t allow the Spirit to change us, we are showing the weaker brother that a halfhearted attempt at the Christian life is good enough. We are not saved by our works, but our works and the things that proceed from our mouth give testimony to the work of the HS within, and that is very important. Important for the growth of others, as well, as we are examples to others, whether we realize this or not.

She provides evident that Paul knew what he was talking about when he wrote this under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost:

“Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.”

1 Timothy 2:11-14

No, taking the name of the Lord in vain is a serious sin.

Any pastor who swore would not have any credibility with me.
