That's what a preacher said, but has nothing to do with the bible, does it?.
How does swearing lead to more sinning?

Sure some "Christians" will curse but the majority do not. I don't like swearing but I'm use to hearing it in my everyday life.
dubious.
WWJS (What Would Jesus Say)
I have another post on here that explains it. Hopefully it helps. In response to swearing to sinning, Christians are called to be in the world but not of it. Because the world is under sin, God wants Christians to be his example and his image. The "Salt and Light of the Earth". Words like cursing or profanity bring others down and using God's name in vain is a violation of the 4th commandment.God however wants to raise people up with good and encouraging words. The pastor was trying to help the church out when he explained this. "Any pastor that will use profanity in his pulpit is childish! That is one of the most carnal things you will ever see and it speaks volumes of the pastors lifestyle outside of the church. The bible says that if the tongue is out of order, the rest of the body is as well, so, you just got your sign on whether or not this is the person to bring your family under". Its a spiritual issue for us Christians trust me.
