Will you go to Hell for using the Lord's name in Vain ?

Answer 1

Yes if you don't repent of your sins you will go to hell ( using the Lord's name in vain is a sin)

Answer 2

Well...According to the general Christianity belief, no you will not go to hell, if you repent for it. Even if you don't, you will most likely just go to purgatory and stay there until you are 'burned' and fully repented for your sins. Then again, there is the scientific view, in which there is no heaven and hell. When you die, you die. End of story. I'm not entirely sure of other religious beliefs, but in Christianity, God/Christ is all-forgiving. All you need to do is go and repent, also known as reconciliation(confession). In the end, it all depends on the personal belief. Is there a hell? Is there even a God? And even if there was, does using His name in vain, really send you to hell? Those are all unanswerable questions. However all will be answered when you die.

Answer 3

No.
God is no longer interested in whether or not you sin. Sin all you want. Its old news, hes been there and done that. Sin is actually an archery term meaning you missed the target. Doesnt matter by how much, you just missed it, your out. God actually said you were conceived in sin, so you didn't even need to shoot to miss. But wait, theres a guy out there picking up the arrows and sticking them right on the bullseye for anybody that wants it. Oh, your not interested, your happy with your shot. OK, looks like he's moving on to the next guy. He will check with you again later

Answer 4

Well, of course certain sins are defined in the bible like using the Lord's name in vain, stealing, etc...

But ultimately God is the judge of all.

For us to say who is a greater sinner or to make a judgement upon others is a sin in its self.

Jesus said “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Answer 5

We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners.

Unless you become convinced of your sinfulness, and that you have no hope except through Jesus Christ's vicarious death and resurrection, you are doomed to hell.

You can easily avoid this. You can turn (this is called repentance) from your sin, and receive Jesus' free gift. He paid the penalty for your sin by His death. When you do this, He exchanges His righteousness for your sinfulness, and you are saved from the penalty of sin.

Taking the Lord's name in vain (using it in a way not intended) is merely one sin that causes people to go to hell. But no one has to go. When they do, it is by their choice. They have to walk over Christ's dead body to get there.

Answer 6

No. To take the Lord's name in vain is when it's used to deceive someone.

Hey I don't like hearing it and try to refrain from doing it but just to say "Oh my God", is not what is meant.

Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

VAIN H7723 שׁו שׁואo shâv' shav shawv, shav
From the same as H7722 in the sense of desolating; evil (as destructive), literally (ruin) or morally (especially guile); figuratively idolatry (as false, subjectively), uselessness (as deceptive, objectively; also adverbially in vain): - false (-ly), lie, lying, vain, vanity.

Answer 7

I doubt it, we have a house of them here, and no-ones gone to hell for using their names in vain. a couple have gone to prison for using a lords name!

Answer 8

The second commandment states "Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord thy God in vain". Meaning do not use pretty ajectives such as "goddam**". If you regret it sincerely, go to confession, and make an effort not to do it anymore, God will forgive you. The same goes for all of your other sins.

Answer 9

Only God knows your heart. We can't decide if anyone is going to hell. Why not repent (turn away from) your sin and count on Gods forgiveness.

Answer 10

If so, it must be the Lord who is vain!
