cussin' n' cursin'

Jesus on Cussing and Cursing, Part 2 « As a Blog Returns to its Vomit - hahahahah, good point!

matthew 15, 11, 15-20.... Jesus tells the disciples that it's not what goes in the mouth, but what comes out of it that defiles.... but the way in which He responded (rather 'vulgarly', shockingly) defines exactly what is - and is not - the kind of stuff comin' out that He means..... (follow the link above to get the greek word breakdown)

my version:

Jesus says, hey peeps, it ain't what goes in yer mouth that mucks ya up, doncha know!!!

the people say, eh?

so Jesus says, what are ya clueless, still? cancha tell that what goes in yer mouth jus' gets turned into goo, man, an' it gets dropped in the crapper?! man, its the junk that comes out of yer mouth that makes ya dirty, boy, cuz it just goes to show the evil crap in yer heart.... that's what mucks ya up.

to me, its the heart of the person.... wickedness? murder? adultery? sexual immorality? theft? lies? slander? not so much cussin'.... cuz we all know we can have wickedness, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, lies and slander in our hearts....and not cuss.

where's God's priorities? truth, righteousness, love.... and sometimes He told us that in a way that offended the religious folk.

digest that!
