Are Euphemisms Offensive?

Is it ever appropriate (or inappropriate) to wear clothing with slogans that others could find offensive? For instance, MAGA hats, BLM shirts, the Let’s Go Brandon phrase, or quoted song lyrics about shaking peaches. There is biblical guidance for this question (of course!), and the Scripture verses cited might just surprise some.

This is episode five of five that were recorded while live streaming. The full video of the entire recording session (assuming the technology cooperates) is available on Rumble at the Household of Faith in Christ channel.

The panel:

Troy Skinner. Pastor of Household of Faith in Christ.  www.HouseholdOfFaithInChrist.com

Daniel Razvi. Pastor serving The Church That Meets at Imran’s House.

Stephen Yerger. Elder with The Shabbat Gathering.

The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth.  Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”.  In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another.  The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.

Frederick Faith Debate

The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth.  Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”.  In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another.  The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.

In other words, The Frederick Faith Debate is home to conflict resolution on the issues that matter most.  We can’t truly resolve anything without understanding.  And we can’t gain authentic understanding without honesty.  So, that’s what you get here.  A safe haven for honesty.  We share what we hold to be true and why.  Where there’s disagreement, we hash it out.  Because we know why we’re here, there’s no worry over hurt feelings.  At the end, if we fail to persuade each other within the confines of our program’s allotted time, we will at least know not only where we stand, but the reasons that we camp out where we do.
