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:There are many ways people use the name of The Lord in vain, even committed Christians, without knowing. Some of the most common nowadays are: 'there's God o', 'God's watching you o' (jocularly), 'blood of God' etc. Haba... For common sense sake, try replacing your father's 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 do this. 41 Likes |

sonofthunder:Thanks for the mention bro. Op, this is the meaning: At the time this command came, there was not much of the revelation of the Names of God and/or the Holy Things like we have them today. However,like the first answer rightly said, this is the amplified version of that command: 1. You shall not use or repeat the name of the Lord your God in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely]; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. Exodus 20:7 2. However, it also means we should not act in ANY way that will make others blaspheme God's Name: lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. Proverbs 30:9 Just like David was judged because as a result of his immorality and murder, he gave ,"... great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme" (2 samuel 12:14) 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Daviddson: You are right. Even the use of the name "Jesus" as an expression of disgust could also pass off as using the name of the Lord in vain. No one will use the names of their mothers when expressing disgust. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

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. 1 Like 3 Shares |

To use God's name to justify or legitimate an action that is not justified or legitimated by God. For an example making war on another country and claiming it is "God's will". Claiming God said something that he didn't. Using God to place a curse. Using God's name to elevate your own position. These are examples of blasphemy. Saying words such as "Oh my God" is an exclamation not a blasphemy. 2 Likes |

By naming Himself, God not only discloses who He is, but He does so in such a way that we might know Him personally. To live by the terms of the third commandment is to recognize and confess that God deserves the highest honor; that He has singled us out by putting His name on us; That we would be entirely lost were it not that for the sake of His name He keeps and protects us; and that He calls us to live after the example of Jesus, glorifying God on earth. We are the bearers of the name of God; may all our conduct show it. 1 Like |
