IT’S NOT ABOUT SWEARING<\/strong>
\nBecause most religious people put a high value on using clean language, they do not use four letter words — at least not in public. They would especially avoid using Jesus’ name or God’s name in a way that would be offensive to other religious people. And if they can do this, they congratulate themselves for being obedient to the third commandment.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Not swearing is considered to be a mark of righteousness. Using only clean language\u00a0when others are listening<\/a> \u00a0is an unwritten religious rule in a system of religious rules.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>People who observe this rule take pride in their righteousnes<\/a>s and\u00a0earn praise from fellow religionists. Using only acceptable, clean language is a way of making a good name for themselves<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

People who have a habit of using Jesus’ name and God’s name in an offensive, non-religious way would eventually be called heretics. They will be unwelcome at religious gatherings where only clean, religious language is allowed.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Using clean language seems reasonable and right according to man’s religious rules<\/a> which are based on a wrong understanding of the Third Commandment.\u00a0The clean language rule disagrees with God’s habit of judging the heart — not the external person<\/a>.\u00a0 The truth that religious people fail to understand is that the so-called “Third Commandment” is not about using the literal names of Jesus and God in speech. It is much more complex and spiritual.<\/span><\/p>\n
