I think Bro Bassett said it best when do sinners become saints and how
else unless taught. Most of our missionaries have said curses on the
foreign field while learning a language. Our culture is so fractured that
the shock of Hellsvision (TV) has made this a accepted norm that is not
the norm. How many others use bywords. (please don't list the swears
here!) yet they do not know they are still swear words to many. Bro Dan
Seagraves mentioned this on one tape of his holiness series. I think it
is a part of discipling to tell converts how to act look dress and yes
how to talk. When we became christians years ago we startled many by
answering "Praise The Lord" on the phone for a greeting.
