Kekel Curses in Public Sermon

In  Kekel's latest sermon entitled "The Sign", He quotes a Battalion Commander saying the words "To hell with that".  So what's the big deal?  There is not really a big deal here other than we are just pointing out more hypocrisy and double standards.  How often were we taught that we could not say the word "heck" because it was a social curse word and a replacement for the word hell?  If we said "heck" or "golly" or "gee whiz", it was because we had sin in our heart; and it was coming out of our mouths in the form of social curse words.  Maybe kekel has been watching too much devil-vision.  You know, "Garbage in, garbage out.", as Joey Olson used to say.  Hmmn.

Old-Fashioned Punishment for Cursing :
Sitting with a bar of soap in your mouth!

The ntcc has compromised its own standards.  Ntccers will read kekel's post; and they will start using the word Hell in their conversations just because Kekel used it.  Hell is a word used in the bible many times; and when used in its proper context it is not considered a curse word.  Damn is another such word.  In fact just about every curse word has a meaning that, in and of itself, wouldn't really be a curse word if it were contained in its original context.  When people use these words as expletives in general conversation and take them out of their original context they become curse words.  

For example:  Let's say that Kekel were to tell you that you could not wear shorts in public because it was lascivious.  Which one of these answers would be appropriate?

a.  "To hell with that!  You let your son wear shorts in sporting events; why should I follow your rules when you can't even enforce them on your own household?"

                                                           or

b.  "Okay Sir, I don't want to end up in hell; so I'll blindly obey them that have the rule over me."

Minus a little sarcasm here, "b" would be the correct answer.  In example "a" hell was taken out of its original context and used in general conversation as an expletive, a curse word.  

It would be interesting to know if the word actually came out of Kekel's mouth while he was preaching or if he just included it in his written sermon.  Either way it sets a precedent for the bible school students and church members of the ntcc. We all were trained like dogs to conduct ourselves in a certain manner.  We were told over and over how important our Christian testimony was and how we were to guard our hearts from compromise.  If non-believers were to hear us curse, then they would use that as an excuse not to serve God.  They would say, "You are just like the rest of us; and your salvation isn't real."  I remember preachers blasting folks from the pulpit for cursing.  They would say: "The reason God isn't blessing the church is because there is sin in the camp.".  They were getting ready to run someone off for cursing.  You all should run Kekel off.  Tell him you don't want his filthy mouth preaching at you anymore.  Tell him that you don't want to read his ungodly filth on his blog anymore.  

It might seem like we are nitpicking here; but there have been quite a few people rebuked in the ntcc for less than what Kekel has included in his sermon.  It will be interesting to see if Kekel deletes his curse word from his sermon, as his deleting finger has gotten a good work-out in the past.  He has used the delete key many times in the past; because his own sermons bring to light his own hypocrisy. If he does delete it, have no fear; because we have a copy of his entire sermon and would be glad to display it.  In fact, here is the portion of kekel's sermon, displaying the curse word:  

Excerpt from Kekel's latest sermon, "The Sign":

The news of this wish did not sit well with 2nd Battalion Commander Chandler Johnson, whose temperament was every bit as fiery as Howlin Mad’s. “To hell with that!” the colonel spat when the message reached him. The flag belonged to the battalion, as far as Johnson was concerned.
