1Pet.2:23 Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

Have you ever noted when Christian's fight, that is, argue most uses a scriptures to put down their opponent? Christ often corrected those that came after him to distract from his message, but he did not go looking for trouble. In other words, many Christian's do not understand what cursing is, they think in terms of foul language, but cursing can be judging others with the law.

John 12:47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

In fact, often the bible speak so this type of cursing for Christian's where they themselves have been freed from the curse of the law, and return evil, by cursing others with it. In other words, it much like the self-deception politician's use when verbally destroying their opponent calling it just good politic. Christian's often uses similar thinking as long as they call down evil by using God's word's it's holy and good. But Christ didn't do that, his heart was not full of evil for his opponent's, he did not sin and return evil for evil calling it righteous and good.

Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."{Deuteronomy 27:26}

Many Christian's cannot understand when the scriptures clear state that Christ judge no one. Than they read elsewhere Christ correcting people making it sound like he was judging? Christ did not judge people under the law, the law that he was completing by his perfect life. In fact, much of why Christ was murder because he forgave sin, an impossible thing according to the law, sin could not be forgiven it must be atoned for by blood. Let us not return to the curse of the law, by mistakenly judging others by it, thinking it God's righteousness returning evil for evil. Rather let us bless others with Christ.

Luke 5:21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
