The following link gives us some insight into the origin of the slang word "bloody": http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbloody.html Interesting anyway!
The Word says "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
"The inward man is being renewed day by day." (2 Corinthians 4:16)"As the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." (Ephesians 4:21-24)

Now that we have all taken a breather, how 'bout we all come together in an effort to educate the ignorant rednecks in this group, namely, me. I would like some facts, or lacking facts, some opinions, as to what constitutes profanity. How is it measured? Is profanity the same as cursing? Why is it offensive to some and not to others? When do I have the right to be offended by another's language? When is God offended by language? Why is "Bloody" offensive in England and not in the USA? Anyone?Terry ----------"Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
