What on earth are you on about? I'm no anti-Semite, and I didn't spend a thread mocking your beliefs. If your insulted by my Christian assertions that the Law is outdated by Christ's death, that's not my problem- take it up with the NT.

You know what? You're correct. I had you mixed up with another poster, so I apologize for that. I hope you can accept my apology.

Sort of like when one becomes a Christian, we've got to put off some former things, our speech should change, we all fail at many things, but we should encourage each other to try. We've got to talk with grace and salt, with grace is like treating others as God treated us, ie. when someone says talks nastily to us, answer with kindness. With salt is like not talking as the world talks anymore, ie. not blaspheming or swearing. How will anyone know we are different, that Christ changed us, if we talk just the same as the world?
There are some pointers in Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." and 1 Peter 4:11 "If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God." would God swear? Is swearing edifying? Is it necessary? Is it gracious? Is it salt, does it stop the decay in the world? When we don't swear, people notice, they wonder why, they might ask ... it provides a chance to tell them.

No problem. I'm just glad you're not part of the epidemic of posters who like to put words in people's mouths.
