Should a child be reprimanded for saying jesus christ?

[TIF]

The child is not from a religious background and is in an educational setting.
It is a public school

 

[DrDeanCrosby]

It's important for Christians to insist that all children in their presence,even children from non-Christian families, not break the Ten Commandments.

only if he was taking the Lord's name in vain. otherwise he said someone's name, like saying molly or susan.

 

[LostSoul1]

For Christ's sake ,,,,,,,NO !

 

[eee]

Yes taking the Lords name in vain is a sin

 

[john]

jesus christ no

 

[Alex]

nope

 

[fireball]

yes that is swearing=wrong wrong

 

[evaohell]

Why make a big deal out of it? I'd say "Jesus Christ? He died for our sins." then show the boy pictures and give them a history lesson on the Real jesus christ.

Punishing that child will only reinforce the idea that saying JC like that will elicit a response from adults...and be very funny for him.

 

[GodismySalvation]

if used as a cuss word yes

 

['AbdulMasiih]

Of course not. If the child is being generally disruptive than any child should be reprimanded and taught that this type of behavior is unacceptable.

 

[Kaboose]

I think they should yes.

 

[Anni]

If it's against the rules at school, yes.

 

[DreSheldonCooper]

Is this a parochial school they are attending?

 

[JoeP]

Depends on why, how and their attitude when they said it.
