What Does it MEAN to "Take God's Name in Vain”?
Ойын-сауық
So, the question is raised: were you automatically an image of God, bearer of the name by being an Israelite? The question really is, are they representative of Yahweh? Well, if you're worshiping Baal, the answer is obviously no. That isn't something that happens by default. Check this out!
In this video Mike engages with the scholarship of Dr. Carmen Joy Imes. For more on her views see her excellent book - Bearing God's Name: amzn.to/3jzPtef where you can find this information in detail.

It doesn't do to be offended by all their frivolous speech. Besides.

Pretty good message. You hit a lot of good points. It's Christ in me as you say, I can't do it alone. Thumbs up.
I’m starting to believe that just as God groomed and prepared men to write the holy Scriptures, possibly you have been groomed prepared and inspired to teach man the things that you have studied and learned. You are a greater man than you know.
I grew up with a mother who would be diagnosed later in life with narcissistic personality disorder. She would often use God as some sort of shield so that others wouldn't find out that she was secretly cruel and controlling. Any time myself or my sister would challenge her unreasonable anger, she would threaten us with hellfire. She was taking the Lord's name in vain.

Sadly, some of the things she would claim would be true, thus confusing people as to her sanity/insanity vs prophetess status. Like you experienced, often such people are secretly cruel, controlling to the millimeter, and profoundly narcissistic. Thank God she's been gone for 11 yrs. Hope you find peace - as I know the hurts and scars of such an upbringing last a lifetime. Just thankful you didn't throw God out with the dirty water!

I like the way you phrased that. For a while as a Christian I used to utter the Lord's name in vain. Over the years, I really think the Spirit convicted me not to do that. Also over the years, I think He has convicted me to write the pronouns referencing Him with a capital letter. I am not saying that my convictions ought to be everyone's convictions, but I don't think God wants me to say His name apathetically or reference Him with a lower-case and reference myself, "I", with an upper-case. When I see His pronouns under case or His name uttered in a discarded manner, it takes me back. I used to swear like a sailor, make crude jokes, and apathetically utter the Name of salvation and of the God of creation. I really think the Spirit has written it on my heart not to do that. I don't think it represents the character of God well.

enlightening !! (by the way, i discovered in the Septuagint that the list of precious and semi-precious stones on the High priest’s breastplate in Exodus 28:17-20 precisely matches the stones listed in Ezekiel 28:13 irrespective of translation. But in the translations of the Masoretic Text, (i.e., the current and only extant Hebrew text), Ezekiel 28:13 reveals no correlation to Exodus 28:17-20 in any translation; and from translation to translation, the types of stones widely disagree and so too the given orders they are given, in both passages.)
Beautiful, We agnowlage that we have the correct information but we don't put it in PRACTICE as we should. We condemn ourselves with our own mouth. Guilty as charged Lord God. Psalms 136:1-26
Thank you for all. May you be well.
No audio for me 😞
I'll have to read the book referenced. Being raised in the Deep South a hundred years ago, I'm quite familiar with the concept of 'bearing' a name. However, when I looked up the word in Logos, FactBook uses the application as a to verbally lift up - 45. to use ⇔ lift up† - to use something, for example verbally, conceived of as lifting it up. Stems: qal, 4. qal Ex 20:7 לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֛א אֶת־שֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ while 'bearing' as I understand the explanation here is used in other verse applications. Great! Now I have to tell my wife I'm buying yet another book 🙂
I had audio issues. Initially I only had my rh ear bud in my ear and could only hear the intro music. Then put in both ear buds and could hear it all including his speech. But the weird thing is, with both ear buds, everything seemed to be on the rh ear bud, nothing on the left with both… Great lesson. Although we should all be respectful of how we use God’s name in speech, that commandment was saying something totally different. Thank you Doc!
Thank you. This is so clear.
My sister thinks "taking God's name in vain" is simply cussing with God's name. I said to her: "do you think the Israelites were walking around saying Gdammit or OMG?" I think of the scripture which says "these people praise me with their lips but their hearts are far from Me" and would consider THAT to be closer to taking God's name in vain. And, if that's the case...many Christians would be guilty of it.

Excellent explanation.
I agree with Dr Michael. It has been my understanding and belief for many years. Taking the name of the Lord is meant to be understood as being a "carrier" of His Name. Much like a wife takes the name of her husband, and being known as Mrs X. Her behavior, whether good or bad reflects back to her husband and his honor and reputation.

One way to really know if what he says is true and Biblical is to cross-reference it with teaching in the New Testament. Paul warned believers about their Christian witness because we bear the name of Christ. This lines up with the OT. Paul pleaded with the early church about how to carefully live among the heathens so they would see a favorable representation of Christ that could lead them to a true faith. Otherwise, the name of Christ is dragged through the mud...very much like it is today. It's why unbelievers call Christians "a bunch of hypocrites" and often refuse the Gospel message b/c they do not see Christians live what they preach. We present a powerless religion. So...YES Heiser is correct that it is more than cussing.
There is a chipmunk squeaking in the back ground. please repost. Inuntelligible audio.

This is powerful. I always felt that the correct name for "God" was not in the Bible. I knew a Jewish professor who expounded on this...the known name is spoken with reverence and hushed tones...and only by the elder rabbis. To write the name when making a handwritten copy of the Torah, the rabbi must undergo a special cleansing ritual before writing the name of God. Even the secular interpretations of Yahweh and Jehovah are incorrect, but he would not even repeat those names out of reverence. So, while I am disturbed when I get angry and use the word "God" in what followed, I questioned if it was the same thing. This gave me a whole new perspective on this "sin."

This gives me the idea that the numbering of the commandments is actually wrong, but I'm not demanding dropping it. The third commandment is actually more like just aspects of the commandment relating to God, along with the 1st, 2nd, and 4th. Of course the Israelites likely never saw it as 10 commandments, just commandments. Probably they knew it just as Christ summed it up, only two, one referring to relationship with God, the other towards fellow humans.
8:50 The double representation of God by man, Gen 1.26: "God said, “Let us make man in our image [by default, all people], after our likeness [to bear His name, to act appropriately, to be God-like, Christ-like, good, virtuous, holy]".

IN VAIN - without success. Do not take the Lord's name without success. For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name without success. Or using the Lord's name to vainly elevate yourself for your own ego and not for his purpose.
Unbelievers wont curse God for the words you say when youre under extreme pain (like smashing your finger) but they will when you bear the name of Jesus and dont LOVE the way Jesus did.
Excellent exposition on bearing His name. However, I'm surprised this clip did not delve into what it actually means to bear it in "vain." The word vain in Exodus 20:7 is šāv' , which means (emptiness, vanity, falsehood), is the same word used in Psalm 12:2, where can see the practical definition of what it means to take God's Name in vain. "They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak." All the lying, false teachers in the world today speak to their congregants with flattering lips and double hearts, standing in a place where they are supposed to be representatives of God. As the latter part of verse 7 says, "..the LORD will not hold him guiltless.."
