Profanity & cussing

I once witnessed a woman standing in line for a concert, and she began bashing a preacher for "cursing in the pulpit".
He had spoken a word for which she never shared, but as I listened for what she considered "cursing" and quickly became aware that she was Not knowledgeable to the words she was utilizing to prove her point.
Her misinformation had her stuck in a world of make believe.
A Gentleman ahead of us stated, "I'm sure you can't even tell us what the message was because you got lost on the first sentence huh?"
To which she replied, "no, I don't know what he was talking about because he should never have said what he said across a pulpit".
I then offered my 2 cents worth of trying to Establish clarity. "Perhaps a better understanding of the Word "curse" would have shed Light on the message and gotten rid of the distraction of the enemy to prevent You from Hearing the Message."
To Which she growled back, " I know ain't no preacher got no business cursing in church and I even waited for him to correct himself thinking it was a slip of the tongue but he repeated it again and again."
I then chose, "Well maybe that was the only word he felt could truly give meaning to his message."
She cut me off with, "The Bible speaks against cursing".
That was my cue... "It Needs to be understood the context and definitions of the Bible as It was Written. The Old Testament is written In Hebrew & Chaldean due to the Captivity in Babylon & the New Testament was written In the Greek under Roman rule. Therefore it takes the access of these languages to express the context and content."
She totally ignored that and kept on with her slogan to slander this preacher except she now borrowed the words profane & profanity after I gave a quick reference to their meanings vs. cursing with the knowledge I had of the difference.
This debate has inspired this blog...
Let us examine the word profane which happens to be Sacrilegious(dis Respect of that Considered Sacred) or irreverent(not relevant), vulgar(lacking manners, taste, etc.) or bast(desecrate or debase). This from the freedictionary.com and from Webster's New World dictionary Profane; Not connected with Religion. Not hallowed, showing disrespect or contempt for Sacred things, Irreverent.
Biblical for The Old Testament is #2490 of The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.
It's first Appearance in Scripture is Leviticus 18:21 Under THE LAWS OF Sexual Morality:-And You(CHILDREN OF GOD) should Not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Mo lech(a pagan god), nor shall you profane the NAME OF Your GOD: I AM THE LORD. There are other mentions Leviticus 19:12, 20:03, 21:04, 06, 07, 09, 12, 14, 15 & 23. Also Leviticus 22:02, 09, 15 & 32. Numbers 13:17, Jeremiah 23:11 & Ezekiel 21:25.
In the New Testament It appears In Matthew 12:05- Or have you not read in THE LAW that on the Sabbath the priests in The Temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?
This presents another # of the Strong's #953=to desecrate.
The Word in past tense profaned appears in Leviticus 19:08, Psalms 89:39, Isaiah 43:28, Ezekiel 22:08 & 26, 23:38, 25:03, 36:20, 21, 22, &23.
Also Malachi 01:12 & 02:11. For these Scriptures the same word # 2490 references;
to wound, to dissolve; to profane(a person, place or thing). To Break(one's word) or defile. Take Inheritance, pollute, sorrow, stain & deadly wound.
Now revisiting secular definitions applied to the word profane:

sacred - concerned with religion or religious purposes; "sacred texts"; "sacred rites"; "sacred music"

For the Wikipedia policy on profanity, see Wikipedia:Profanity.June 2009
In cartoons, profanity is often depicted by substituting symbols ("grawlixes") for words, as a form of non-specific censorship.A profanity is a word, expression, gesture, or other social behavior which is socially constructed or interpreted as insulting, rude, vulgar, desecrating, or showing disrespect.
The original meaning of the adjective profane (Latin: "in front of", "outside the temple") referred to items not belonging to the church, e.g. "The fort is the oldest profane building in the town, but the local monastery is older, and is the oldest building," or "besides designing churches, he also designed many profane buildings". Over time this meaning changed to the current meaning.
Other words commonly used to describe profane language or its use include: curse, pejorative language, swearing, expletive, bad word, dirty word, cussing, strong language, irreverent language, obscene and/or indecent language, choice words, blasphemy language, foul language, and bad or adult language.
Did ya notice how at one point definitions says "overtime" the word changed to current meaning...
Scripture Says "JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME yesterday, today, and forever. Do Not be carried about with various strange doctrines. For It Is Good that the Heart Be Established by GRACE, not with foods which have Not profited those who have Been Occupied with them(Hebrews 13:08-09)."
THE LORD HAS DECLARED, "MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT your thoughts Nor are your ways MY WAYS & SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOES FORTH FROM MY MOUTH; IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME void, but IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I PLEASE, & IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THINGS FOR WHICH I SENT IT(Isaiah 55:8 & 11)."
I'll choose GOD over Mankind anytime & anywhere.
Biblical profane is devoid of GOD or anything Associated with HIM.
After viewing the Spike Lee's Movie, Malcolm X, a new revelation developed when I observed the character, Banes explaining to young Malcolm that "a man cusses because he doesn't have words to express how he feels."
I spent days just repeating and dissecting every word of that comment until It Resonated deep within my intellect. I witnessed myself whenever I chose to angrily defend or disrupt order I'd speak a word rarely spoken by me but used it to drive home the scoring run(that's baseball for proving a point). For decades it seemed to have ground I'd use the words considered "bad" or "dirty" or "cussing". Cussing is the new term for profane and cursing is the Biblical term for wishing ill or danger on another. Like on the road when others use to cut me off, I'd retort, "I hope your tire blows out withing miles" now that was inciting a "curse" but other times I'd shout out "#$/&" or "bad" words that was cussing. Though I chose not to express the emotional thunder I was experiencing at that precise moment, however the anxiety of anger is well received for some reason.
I now choose to be Understood as meant therefore I take my time to define my anger while hopefully neutralizing it and offering everyone viewing alternatives to the norm.
As I've Searched through Scriptures and Observed many Conversations & dialogs amongst the authors and characters, I think Peter was a man that "cussed" aloft because of this quick temper and under duress it's not possible to be calm.
Hopefully through Scripture we Can Obtain the Knowledge GOD INTENDED when HE PERMITTED THE HOLY SPIRIT To Inspire The Writers-2 Peter 02:20-21.
When debating about Scripture Know the Content, context & language not just assuming or repeating pulpit tales without Studying to Show Yourself Approved by GOD 2 Timothy 2:15.
