Tonight during his rally, President Trump REPEATEDLY took the name of the lord in VAIN...!!!
Do you take your mothers name in vain Mr. President??? I tell you YOU DO NOT!!!! But tonight you DARE to take the Lord Gods name in vain!!! Do not be deceived....GOD is NOT mocked!!! Please, STOP it !
Deuteronomy 5:10-11 But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands. You must not misuse the name of the LORD your God. The LORD will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name.
Exodus 20:7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold guiltless anyone who takes his name in vain.
Matthew 6:9 Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
This is a warning to all who think God will 'overlook' the act of blaspheming His name. HE WILL NOT. I will not matter if you are a street sweeper or the leader of the greatest Republic on earth......GOD will drop you like a stone.
Do not be deceived....GOD is NOT mocked!!! Please President Trump, I beg you....STOP it !
Is that aimed at me? You're a dim bulb if it is. LOL
I emailed the president tonight and politely asked not to do that again. Told him I support him, but please do not use the Lord’s name in vain.
At least he acknowledges the existence of God.
Count your blessings.
We all know how the other side feels about such beliefs.
But as I said in that post, there are endless examples; most far worse than that. :-)
I guess you just can’t take ‘yes” for an answer. You are right, I am wrong. Can we let it go?
He didn’t and what color fainting couch do you own?
We are sons of God. So we are all Gods.
Then made YOU
heard the phrase
President Trump
Used!???
Show Us All
Where the Bad
Man Touched You.
Would you mind telling me what in the heck you’re talking about????
Yes it is!
What does the commandment actually say? What does “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain” mean?
If I were to invoke God’s name falsely by saying “Thus sayeth the Lord, “ after some pronouncement that came out of my own imagination, wouldn’t that be a sin? It seems an oversight on God’s part if it isn’t. Indeed, I offer that you proclaiming that Trump saying G.D. is what the commandment refers to is itself dangerously close to violating the commandment.
The interpretation of falsely invoking God’s authority as what the commandment is about is definitely in keeping with the adjacent commandments. Things like worshiping no other God’s, not worshipping any graven images, honoring the Sabbath day, and not accusing people falsely are all very much in keeping with the notion of not claiming to speak for God when you aren’t.
Then there is the matter of what the Name of God actually is. Clearly “God” isn’t the Name of our God. We might differ on that question. I have a favorite answer: His Name is what He supplied to Moses when asked for His Name. He said “I am ‘I AM’” just like I might answer “I am Bob” if someone asked for my name. I believe the name supplied to Moses was “I AM”
I agree with you though. Trump’s use of profanity was coarse and unpresidential, and Trump should mind his tongue.
Well, he worked for that nasty Tudor family. The more elegant and genteel Plantagenets would not have put up with the dirtier parts of his plays.
Yes, he did, I heard it. I love the president but I love God more!
What came to my mind were the images of those beheaded and those put in cages and drown for being Christians. I think these beast are in deed ‘damned’ and ‘we the people’ elected two times a godless man that aided and abetted the ungodly beasts.
Deliberate or not, it was said. He did state it.
Would have preferred another phrase but the fact that he did what he did changes absolutely nothing in this
perspective. He remains ‘my HERO’.
Exactly so and what I haves been posting about, in reply to a poster who doesn’t understand 16th century English and who not only probably never read, but never heard of such books as “THE BAWDY BARD” and quite a few others of the same genre.
Not all of them were actually all that "genteel". But they sure were, when compared to the Tudors!
I emailed the president tonight and politely asked not to do that again. Told him I support him, but please do not use the Lords name in vain
God finds your efforts lacking and driven by self worship.
Oh you should have heard my dad. GD N*****r, GD bearded freak. GD truck.
He hated trucks. Couldn’t see around them when driving and that was the time we heard all that stuff the most was riding in the car with him. JC was used just about as much.
And may GOD damn all those who are BEARING FALSE WITNESS; a Commandment that quite a few, here, on this thread, have repeatedly done.
