Is this really using Gods Name in VAIN?!?!?

Question

When People Say, "GodDa*nit?" is it considered a swear word? Because really its a command, not an insult or whatever. You're simply telling God to Damn it/Something. Just curious, I need to hear both sides..

Answer 1

In Jewish thought, a name conveys the nature and essence of the thing named. In taking Gods name in vain, we are not talking about a harm done to a word; we are talking about harm to a reputation. So it would seem not to be taking His name in vain. But ... Because a name represents the reputation of the thing named, a name should be treated with the same respect as the thing's reputation. For this reason, God's Names, in all of their forms, should be treated with enormous respect and reverence to say the least!

Being that by definition a swear word is: "The unacceptable and rude words of a language," I would say your word qualifies as one.

Answer 2

Supposedly, to take the name of the Lord in vain originally meant to swear an oath to God and break it. A modern example would be lying after you place your hand on the Bible and swear to tell the truth. You'd be taking His name in vain by abusing it and using it dishonestly.

But cursing is covered in the Bible by stating that we shouldn't use vile language. It says the human tongue is the most wicked part of our bodies, and is extremely difficult to tame.

Answer 3

God = G+o+d...=7+15....=26=2+6=8=h
God Jehovah = G+o+d+ J...=...=e
God Most High=....=h

thus your jewish-isreality homesexual God Jehovah(ie the one doesn't want real men who have had sex with woman(ie defiled themselves)with his son on mount ZION is not God most high.

that honour belongs to
LORD GOD TODD who sums to a
Yes a penis with a small scar on his lilly white skin above his penis ie the a also the A which is Stevens.n because both are formed from .I7 mixed up and sealed together.

I is God
IiIi as the lilly white ONE put together and truthfully occasionally i li(e) to spare others feelings and to test the spirits.

and remember your place Jehovah fallen sovereign Lord of ancient Israel, Cryrus also once defeated your forces, don't make Me mad cause your positions have always been precarious, atleast from my studies uv history.

so JOIN Me luke and together We shall Rule the Galaxies.

so perhaps when Moses said LORD rules the world He meant an english pronounced WORD that was the LORD.

Answer 4

If God were to really damn someplace or people, it would be like asking God to destroy it. We have no place in using these terms, we are not the judges he is and he will take care of it when he comes. This is like putting a curse on someone.
It is not for man to use the name of God like this and it is very very wrong..

Answer 5

I think attempting to command God into doing something bad to another human being counts pretty high up on the "taking God's name in vain" scale, don't you?

Can you imagine what it must have been like to have someone say "Damn you!" a thousand years ago? It must have sounded a bit like someone wishing cancer on you.

Answer 6

You never tell God to do anything much less command Him. You can ask Him to do something, but it is entirely up to Him to do what is best. To ask Him to Damn somebody is also blasphemous. It is completely up to the Lord as to who He wants to damn. Not you. Read your Bible.

Answer 7

Yes cause the word God is in the sentence. You can't use the word God, because it's forbidden. Use the word Satan instead. If you take Satan's name in vain, you'll be okay.
Anyway this is what the church people told me.
