An Impossible Arguement.

Small chance, but that may work. I'll try it. But like I said...common sense isn't a factor in this man's basic thinking. He's uh...what's the word? Oh yeah, cajun.

Using God's name in vain is saying God is doing or saying something that He actually is not saying nor doing at all. When someone mentions God's name and then speaks something as though he is doing it, God is not actually doing it which makes the statement one using His name in vain.

Whenever he curses something personal to him, tell him that you are praying that God answers his prayer. However, you need to have the faith that God will answer your prayer for him.

Sure, and it's kind of disrespectful to utter such an All-Powerful Name in just everyday use, I believe is the gist. There's actually a pretty interesting study in the layers of heresy, hypocrisy involved in uttering that phrase--a complete denial of Grace, etc.

And, if one will proceed as if anything anyone tells them is not true until verified, one might escape the "listening to men" curse whereby we essentially do the opposite--believe everything until proven a lie.

Bbyrd, actually there is truth in what you say about using the name in careless fashion. A song I love says, "It's more than just a swear word, more than an I don't care word, how can we use His name so recklessly." That having been said, we are to do all whether in word or deed in that name. Therefore, if the name is used in prayer, or holy conversation (which should be always if one is Christian), then it is permissible to use the name.

Ha, ya, but I do respect why a Jew hesitates even then, even if I do not. It just avoids things like this, which even a lapsed Jew would not even consider saying.

I do not know whether I would use that myself, however I did find that amusing (I am not sure whether or not that is a good thing).
