I would have to say that I personally wouldn't have been comfortable with my pastor using such language. Thank God for Holy Ghost filled pastors.

The name of God may be "Jesus" as we know it. However, saying "GD", and even "bless God" violates the principle of "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain".

Brother, this is one instance in which that combination of words were used properly and in context.

That's fine. When it is used when someone stubs their toe, it violates the principle of "thou shalt not."

Also, the commandment is to not "take" the name of the Lord in vain, not "use" the name of the Lord in vain. God gave me an interesting nugget on that scripture a few years while I was sitting at a McDonald's eatin some grub. I've posted it before. Maybe I will do it again.
