For common sense sake, try replacing your farhers name in the stead of God and see how disrespectful you'll feel (towards your father).But, here we are talking about God! Unfortunately, many Christians are ignorant of the grievous sins they're committing when they say this.

TAKING THE NAME OF GOD IN VAIN: What does it means

Exodus 20:7 – “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." (KJV)



I. What’s in a name?

So what’s in a name? Why is God’s name so important that God includes this commandment as part of the Ten Commandments? We must understand that a name is more than just a label. A name signifies one’s character, reputation and authority.

First of all, a name signifies one’s character. [/b]When we think of God’s character we think of how God has revealed himself to us: through his word, through his titles in Scripture, through his attributes, his law, his works and his deeds. All of this is wrapped up in Gods’ name. In John 17 Jesus prayed to the Father about his disciples. He said, [b]“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word; And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it” (John 17:6,26) In both of those verses what Jesus literally says is this: “I have revealed your name to them. I have made known your name.” God’s name signifies God’s character.

Comedians using God's name to crack jokes.

God's name is so sacred in Judaism that a Jew will kot call Yahweh without a serious reason.

This generation trivialises and abuse grace

Amberon11:


It means to call the name of God purposelessly. Just like most people use "Jesus" as an exclamation.

Please the Bible didnt say CALL the Lords name in vain, the Bible said TAKE te Lords name in vain. Taking Gods name in this case is you arent supposed to answer or take the names God had put for Himself Alone. Eg: Holy, Reverend, Lord, etc.

OLAADEGBU:


What does it mean to take the Lord's name in vain? Does taking the Lord's name in vain mean more than just using it as a cuss word?

OLAADEGBU:


Are you saying those who use the title reverend before their names are blaspheming?

The idea that the truth of God or our existence can be bound in any human system by any human creed, by any human book is almost beyond imagination.God is not a Christian, a Hindu or a Muslim. All these are human systems which human beings have created to try to help us walk in the mystery of our existence.
Religion has always been in the control business and that's something people don't really understand.It is in the guilt producing,control business.If you have heaven as a place where you're rewarded for your goodness and hell as a place you're punished for your evil, then you sort of have control over the population. They create this fiery place that quite literally, has scared the hell out of a lot of people.It's all part of the control tactic and an invention of the church. The church doesn't like for people to grow up, because it can't control grown ups. That's why we talk about being born again. When you're born again, you're still a child. People don't need to be born again, they need to grow up and accept responsibilities for themselves and the world. This stuff about obeying some commandments handed out by God to Moses on a mountain when no-one was around is just a tactic by the church to get people to straighten out, to get them all in line because they were basically stupid and lacked the intelligence to question anything . why ten commandments? Why not eleven or twelve or even nine? The reason is ten sounds official and sounds believable too . it's a psychologically satisfying number and people back then were too dumb to think for themselves.
