The Profanity Debate: Can It Serve a Godly Purpose?

Credit :

Like the name of his last album, Andy Mineo never has a problem bringing up "uncomfortable" topics. In a recent twitter discussion, the rapper posed a question that had some of his Christian brothers and sisters up in arms.

"Do you guys really think if a person uses 'profanity' (words we've given meaning) in their music they couldn't possibly be Christian? Why?" the Reach Records emcee asked on Twitter.

The question immediately ignited a heated debate, where Mineo and many of his Twitter followers went back and forth on the matter.
User Osasere pointed the rapper toward scripture stating, "Well 'blessings and curses come from the same mouth, this shouldn't be.'" To which Mineo replied, "What are 'curses' in that text? The words in our culture we deem 'curses'? His cultural words? Or actual CURSES?"
