Taking a vow or oath, swearing upon God's name and then you were lying. Or then you did not do what you said.
This is using his name in vain.

See the previous question, the Pledge of Allegience. One Nation Under God. With what we do, sometimes we give God's name a black eye! That's taking the Lord's Name in Vain!

It means using God's holy name in an attempt to glorify or garner praise for ourselves, rather than him.

That's 'in vain'. God's Name is not to be taken lightly, it is not to be USED lightly, or for mere linguistic emphasis. It is to be used with the respect it deserves.

The truth is that 'invane' is not a word. 'In vain' however means to use it in any OTHER context than referring to him directly as God.

the use of the Lord's name in vain is to use it in a manner not invoking or calling upon God, ie, not in prayer or in praise.

To use it in Vain means that you are directing God to an action or direction that only he can perform. If you say "God damn it" you are directing God to do something, to Damn whatever YOU wish damned. "God do this" or God do that" In your Vanity you propose to direct God.

to use god's name IN VAIN (not invane) means to use god's name when you're not directly talking to or referring to god.
