So I believe that these catagories of curse words are words that God has told us are wrong. In our fallen nature God has placed that knowledge in our conscience.
I think I understand what you are saying, Scott. I don't believe that specific words are written on our hearts but my quote does seem to imply that. Would it be wrong then to say the pattern of right thought is written on our hearts (but our sinful nature supresses it), so that the Scriptural injunctions we have to make our speech acceptable helps us to know what kind of speech is wrong (coarse , vulgar, calling someone a fool, etc.?) Or does it only mean that we should let Roman 7:7 be the rule?
Now I will go back and re-take English 99 (I'm not ready for 101 yet :bigsmile:.)
