Excellent response!
:-)
Up your meds...NOW!!!
And as will yours.
Have you finally stopped beating your wife?
ROFL!!!
My father didn’t say it but my brother used it as a second language.
And he became a lawyer lol
I think I stopped because I got reprimanded on this board by so many people when I did it a few times.
That’s a GOOD thing :)
My father was famous for getting lost and being willing to drive 3 states out of the way than admit he needed help :)
Good grief....
IF he said this (I haven’t listened)...but I agree with your reply.
I, like you, just don’t allow this to be used in my company as God is SO good and I don’t want Satan to control my tongue.
Let us never assume that if we live good lives we will be without sin; our lives should be praised only when we continue to beg for pardon. But men are hopeless creatures, and the less they concentrate on their own sins, the more interested they become in the sins of others. They seek to criticize, not to correct. Unable to excuse themselves, they are ready to accuse others.
Listen first to what was actually said... too many ignored the ‘subject’ and allowed a military person’s language send them over the cliff ... How would you describe ISIS and their wholesale slaughter of Middle East Christians? We the US dispatched them ... you think we did that in Satan’s name?
I know what it means, it means using His name lightly, not reverently, using God’s name to “damn” something or someone.
God’s name was so sacred to the Jewish people that they wouldn’t even write it in its totality.
If you think you’re going to convince me that God doesn’t mind someone swearing by His name, then you don’t know much about God or His Word.
There are many posts on this thread that explain what it actually means; I suggest you look for them and take it to heart!
And one of the two times he said that phrase, that is driving some of you insane, WAS A QUOTE! What do you expect him to do...start the quote and then say BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, like some deranged madman?
Yes, many Jewish sects do NOT say nor writ God's name...which is NOT GOD, but just use consonants and leave out the vowels. OTOH...they DO say and write GOD, which is one of HIS titles.
For Christians, "CHRIST" is NOT Jesus' name; it's one of HIS titles! Please stop patting yourself on the back; it's not appealing.
Well ,I want to
Know WHAT Exactly
Trump said.
Then I thru in a Snarky
Comment.
Hope that helps.
You are so over the top. One of those judge mental people who would rather have Obama back again. I hope to never run into you on the street.
>>> I consider using God’s name in vain is when you do evil and then say you did it for the Lord. Like Islam does everyday.
Actually, it is to falsely represent God... i.e. False prophecy.
To claim “Thus sayeth the Lord”... When the Lord did not instruct to speak on His behalf is a form of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit... which is the unforgivable sin.
God knows Trumps heart.
I believe Trump Loves Jesus and he will be convicted in person by what he said and, he is forgiven.
I love Trump.
Jesus loves Trump.
I forgive Trump.
You should too.
Send your message to him.
I hope that he does not quote in that way again.
It’s not a reflection of his heart, it is an expression of his passion.
He got carried away and he is a young Christian.
Think about it.
Good article. Thanks.
I always thought doing something in vain meant you did it in an unserious way. If i open a savings account in vain, then I’m not serious about saving.
If Trump said “those GD democrats” he could well have meant it. And they probably are.
What he say?
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. So it sounds like a better translation than “Thou shall not take God’s name in vain” would be something like “Do not use God’s name to advance Godlessness”, or something to that effect.
