What is blaspheming?
Blaspheming is taking the name of the Lord God in vain, mishandling His Holy name, disrespecting God, and is a sin against God Himself.
When we sin, we are not sinning against other men, or ourselves, no, sin is against God Himself. Know that all sin is sin against God.
Did you take the name of the Lord in vain today? Are you sure?
Using the name of God when swearing is blasphemy. Swearing is to use profane or obscene language.
When you say the words “Oh my God” are you praying or worshiping God?
If you are not praying or worshiping God, or addressing God, when you use that phrase, you are taking the name of the Lord in vain. You are using the name of God irreverently. You are blaspheming.
Whenever you use the precious Holy name of our Lord inappropriately, irreverently you are blaspheming.
God is Holy. God's name is Holy. God's Holy name is NOT to be used as an adjective to describe something!
When you use the name of God, other than in teaching, or worship and prayer, or communicating with God, or in any way irreverent, you are blaspheming and taking the name of God in vain.
God is our Heavenly Father, our most precious God, our Saviour, the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of all things, Jesus Christ who died for our sins, so we can live in His loving care forever.
Our Lord God’s holy, beautiful and precious name is being misused as an adjective to express delight or dismay about everything from the color of someone’s car to the smell of food.
Taking the Lord's name in vain is appalling and needs to be stopped!
Secular expressions that are used in the world to defame, ridicule, belittle and blaspheme our Lord God's Holy precious name, should NOT be tolerated by believers of Jesus Christ.
As believers, we should NOT condone such sayings and we should never use the devil's language like the lost of the world.
We are NOT the lost of the world, we are believers of God the Almighty, we need to start acting like it! We need to take a stand for our LORD!
We as believers are the children of God, and we should stand up for our Father, our God, who we worship, our God who we love, and our God with who we have the eternal hope of salvation and everlasting life.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.Mark 8:38 |
We must educate each other.
Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.Isaiah 52:5 |
God knows everything. God knows that His name continually and everyday is blasphemed.
When someone takes the name of our Lord God in vain, when we hear someone blaspheme our most High God and precious Saviour, use His name as garbage, defile His name, we as the children of God must stand up and tell these people that we are not going to stand for it, we are not going to take it anymore.
Stand up for your God, your Saviour, the one who made you whole, the one who saved you from sin and death.
Don't let the devil or people belittle or take anything away from the name of your Lord God in Heaven.
We need to say, "you can't say that about my Lord God", "I won't stand for blaspheming of my Lord and Saviour", "My Lord God is the most treasured name in my life, please refrain from using His name in vain". Saying anything is better than saying nothing. When we say nothing, they think we believe as they do, that it's okay to use the name of the Lord God in vain.
Counter blaspheme with praise
Some times we are unable to say anything directly to the person blaspheming, maybe we are too far away from the source of the blasphemy. What I like to do in these cases is to give a shout out to God, I like to say, "Praise the Lord God", "Jesus is Lord", "Bless His Holy name". I like to counter the blaspheme of others, with a praise to the Most High God. Maybe I am just being silly, but I think that my "Halleluiah! Jesus is Lord", or "Praise the Lord", cancels out their blasphemy, it does in my heart anyway.
We need to stop being foolish and disrespectful.
Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. Psalm 74:18 |
We need to grow up and realize what we are saying.
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.1 Timothy 6:1 |
