The only things I know that are referred to as D.V. are domestic violence and digital video.

You might be referring to the Latin phrase "Deus Vult", meaning "God wills it." It began as a battle cry used during the First Crusade.

i don't know exactly, but i had also wondered this. i think the D is the God bit (As in A.D.) and V is the willing bit. someone above thought it mite be limited to the Catholic church, but i'm a Baptist and we use it. i think it is latin.

Deo volente = God Willing
It is a latin term so it is probably used in the Roman Catholic religion.

God isn't mocked in simple terms signifies that even with the indisputable fact that brazen human beings get in mocking God, they received't do it with impunity. God sees to it that they arrive head to head with their folly. imagine human beings arguing and killing one yet another because some position self assurance in Santa Claus and some do no longer. i have not come throughout lots of those who're prepared to die in putting forward that Santa Claus does certainly exist, or prepared to kill others to silence them for believing in Santa Claus. even with the indisputable fact that, you'll locate those who do not position self assurance in God well-known using God's call as a swear note and being hateful and illiberal of those who do position self assurance in God. If God would not exist, than why do you imagine all this skill is spent through Scientists, Philosophers, Dictators, and non secular instructors to defame and debate the existence of God. If God quite does no longer exist, then my question is: who're the fools? those who believe that he exists or those spending their very last drops of skill and dedicating their total lives to disprove the existance of God? you would possibly want to truly call those that position self assurance in God ignorant, yet in case you quite believe that God does no longer exist isn't it outright foolishness to commit your existence to disproving the existance of a being (God) that some believe to exist? i assumed so, too. My suggestion: stay faraway from mocking those that position self assurance in God, or worse yet, mocking God. If God would not exist as you recommend, then the mocking of a non-existent being is extra setting up of those in psychological asylums than of those that are of a valid options. thanks. i'm a Christian.

KenF. Yes, as above, Deo Volente means God Willing and is said for example by someone who might say "I will be there on Friday, D.V. This could mean I shall be there on Friday as long as I am still alive and well and there is nothing to stop me.
