There may be times when euphemisms (saying something negative in the nicest way possible) might be useful (such as in long-term counseling), 
but they often serve to excuse our sin, get us off the hook, keep us from feeling guilty about our trespasses, etc.
Questions:
1. What euphemisms for sin have you heard?
2. Did Jesus ever use euphemisms for sin? Why or why not?
