Not to worry. You can say anything you want to say. As loud, and as often as you want. And you won't go to hell. So go ahead. Practice that free speech. Say it loud, say it proud. No worries about nothing. You will be fine.

There's a difference between "said" and "use". To use God's name, you're supposed to be in the act of making an oath, or a promise, as in sealing a contract, which is what the 5th Commandment refers to. The crime is using God's name in sealing a contract that you didn't intend to honor. Notice that the Commandment doesn't say, "Thou shall not ever utter the Lord's name", but that you don't misuse it.

no, you havnt. if you didnt mean to do anything wrong how could you have sinned? God will forgive you for making a mistake. Dont listen to the other people who have given answers - only God can judge you.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Perhaps this is a sign that your humble household pet is actually the reincarnation of God. Dog be praised - may we worship at your dog bowl of love.

Well, if you do, you won't be alone? Seriously, a slip of the tongue like that does not get you a one way ticket to hell. God is forgiving.

The devil's gonna turn you into a shishkabob, and then feast on your insides while his imps do table dances in the background.
Hope you got good sunblock.......:P

You are mocking God. Consider yourself condemned. Repent!
