No. Jesus never said "yhwh", let alone the other false names. That and all the other alleged names in the OT were remnants of the polytheistic precursors to rxbbxnical sxtxnism which were not in the original, which those... other people I apparently can't name added back in, corrupting the text we have now.

[@realamericanz4641]

I’m great for this particular teaching. Had a recent conversation with folks about cursing being the meaning of this idea. However, Mikes view makes so much more sense from the text! ❤

[@mbgrafix]

Excellent teaching, and a perspective that I had not heard before. It brings a greater understanding, in that...if I am supposed to carry, or bear the name of the Lord not in vain, then I _absolutely_ should not use His name flippantly...or as a curse word...but as Dr. Heiser has revealed...that is only the beginning, for it is SO MUCH MORE than just that!

[@joshuastoltzfus4910]

I like the way you phrased that. For a while as a Christian I used to utter the Lord's name in vain. Over the years, I really think the Spirit convicted me not to do that. Also over the years, I think He has convicted me to write the pronouns referencing Him with a capital letter. I am not saying that my convictions ought to be everyone's convictions, but I don't think God wants me to say His name apathetically or reference Him with a lower-case and reference myself, "I", with an upper-case. When I see His pronouns under case or His name uttered in a discarded manner, it takes me back. I used to swear like a sailor, make crude jokes, and apathetically utter the Name of salvation and of the God of creation. I really think the Spirit has written it on my heart not to do that. I don't think it represents the character of God well.

[@mbgrafix]

@@joshuastoltzfus4910 Outstanding Joshua! I applaud the attitude which you possess...that being, the desire to be holy before the Lord without appearing religious, or self-righteous before others, but rather...genuine. One whose attitude and actions are a clear indication to others of a transformed man, so that they sense that your devotion to the Lord is true, rather than a dog and pony show for the benefit of their eyes.

@@apracity7672 not if that person doesn't actually claim to follow God. Plus a person's god isn't NECESSARILY God the Creator. Lots of people worship themselves. If they're saying OMG in this irreverent way and really they are their own god, they're not taking the Name of The LORD in vain. You have to remember, the 10 Commandments were only given to the people of Moses. There's a whole world out there of non-God-worshipping people. It doesn't do to be offended by all their frivolous speech. Besides. All of that is external to the ACTUAL ISSUE - which is, people labeling themselves as followers of the God of Abraham without being transformed by His character acting in their lives. Stop trying to turn this into a legalism thing when it isn't.

[@wk1810]

My sister thinks "taking God's name in vain" is simply cussing with God's name. I said to her: "do you think the Israelites were walking around saying Gdammit or OMG?" I think of the scripture which says "these people praise me with their lips but their hearts are far from Me" and would consider THAT to be closer to taking God's name in vain. And, if that's the case...many Christians would be guilty of it.

And bring honor and glory to our Lord. I know it’s hard! I’ve made many excuses over the years! But the first step is the hardest… each step afterwards gets easier and easier. Before you know it your walk is now a race! Run you race as to win! Give me YOUR strength Father! I can’t do this alone! Shame is too heavy on my soul to keep carrying! I run much faster with a clean conscience. But again, I can’t do it alone ABBA! But only with your Spirit in me, can I overcome! All honor and glory to YOU FATHER!

I grew up with a mother who would be diagnosed later in life with narcissistic personality disorder. She would often use God as some sort of shield so that others wouldn't find out that she was secretly cruel and controlling. Any time myself or my sister would challenge her unreasonable anger, she would threaten us with hellfire. She was taking the Lord's name in vain.

[@Zknwlf]

I feel for you. Same exact situation. A mother who literally God, not Jesus, not the Holy Spirit, talked to her M-F 7:30 am to 9am from spring of '77 to fall of '78. Sadly, some of the things she would claim would be true, thus confusing people as to her sanity/insanity vs prophetess status. Like you experienced, often such people are secretly cruel, controlling to the millimeter, and profoundly narcissistic. Thank God she's been gone for 11 yrs. Hope you find peace - as I know the hurts and scars of such an upbringing last a lifetime. Just thankful you didn't throw God out with the dirty water!

[@bman1742]

Yea alot of people think to take the name in vain as swearing but it's actually to claim beliefs and not commiting but continuing to claim

There is no mention of hell in the Hebrew Bible, therefore the whole Christian invention of hell is carrying God's name in vain. The idea that Jesus is God in the flesh is also breaking the third commandment.

I agree with Dr Michael. It has been my understanding and belief for many years. Taking the name of the Lord is meant to be understood as being a "carrier" of His Name. Much like a wife takes the name of her husband, and being known as Mrs X. Her behavior, whether good or bad reflects back to her husband and his honor and reputation.

I'll have to read the book referenced. Being raised in the Deep South a hundred years ago, I'm quite familiar with the concept of 'bearing' a name. However, when I looked up the word in Logos, FactBook uses the application as a to verbally lift up - 45. to use ⇔ lift up† - to use something, for example verbally, conceived of as lifting it up. Stems: qal, 4. qal Ex 20:7 לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֛א אֶת־שֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ while 'bearing' as I understand the explanation here is used in other verse applications. Great!

enlightening !! (by the way, i discovered in the Septuagint that the list of precious and semi-precious stones on the High priest’s breastplate in Exodus 28:17-20 precisely matches the stones listed in Ezekiel 28:13 irrespective of translation. But in the translations of the Masoretic Text, (i.e., the current and only extant Hebrew text), Ezekiel 28:13 reveals no correlation to Exodus 28:17-20 in any translation; and from translation to translation, the types of stones widely disagree and so too the given orders they are given, in both passages.)

This is powerful. I always felt that the correct name for "God" was not in the Bible. I knew a Jewish professor who expounded on this...the known name is spoken with reverence and hushed tones...and only by the elder rabbis. To write the name when making a handwritten copy of the Torah, the rabbi must undergo a special cleansing ritual before writing the name of God. Even the secular interpretations of Yahweh and Jehovah are incorrect, but he would not even repeat those names out of reverence. So, while I am disturbed when I get angry and use the word "God" in what followed, I questioned if it was the same thing. This gave me a whole new perspective on this "sin."
