Calling Someone An Idiot. -Christians should not call other souls "idiot", "stupid", or "morons." yes even in playing around with each other. Jesus says that to do so can place us "in danger of hell fire." -
It is foolish to belittle one’s neighbor; a sensible person keeps quiet. -Proverbs 11:12 But I say, if you are even angry with someone,[ you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. -Matthew 5:22 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. -Ephesians 4:29 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! -James 3:9-10
