[BC] How far is ok?...

Sure, no problem.

The Bible (chose any one you wish, but the NRSV would be my choice) uses 
words which are easily identifiable as F-words or S-words.

Easily identifiable!

Really, this is not a choice of "success" vs. "failure", as postulated by 
the quoted writer, but a choice to use "formal" language vs. "informal" 
language ... "street talk" vs. "OED talk".

I'm fairly certain that Jesus chose to use the language of the street ... 
he was, after all, ministering to ordinary men (and women), not the 
higher, educated classes.

IMO, of course!
