Taking God's Name In Vain - Matthew245 - 10-19-2024
Some people tend to think that taking God's name in vain means attaching a word like "damn" to the end, by all means it isn't pleasant, it's disrespectful to God.
Taking God's name in vain means using His name for empty causes like trying to get people to convert to their religion or beliefs by means of hate and/or violence, provocation and any other means that God regards as sinful. Granted that God made the commandment not to use His name in vain long before Christianity started, but Christianity is directly associated with God.
Many Christians break this commandment in many ways. They go around calling themselves Christians, yet they don't act like one. This in turn makes God look bad along with the whole Christian religion. Be careful what you sow, it's not a good idea to anger God.
