"Taking in vain" refers to another admonition not to call upon God for a trivial or selfish favor, out of vanity. Of course it would also refer to asking for something of no significant consequence.

OK I''m back to lurk mode.

No I don't think that naming the name of Jesus as an exclamation is wrong.

What's wrong is people that think they're so high and mighty they can judge another's motives and intent by making arbitrary conclusions because they have nothing else to go on.

Beat a dead horse divegeester. See if I care.

That would be a good one dive if it weren't for the fact that you completely missed the point.

But at least it gave you the opportunity to reveal how your mind works.

Well, if nothing else at least you know it's just your opinion.

Rather strangely (considering my atheistic leanings) I wouldn't say 'Jesus' as an exclamation and would feel uncomfortable doing so.

Now I see why my Father always said don't get into any arguments about Religion. It could go on for ever, and never come to a solution. Told me arguing about Politics was another lost cause. Was he ever correct!!!

The NT often showed conflict with the mindset of the Pharisees. See Luke 7:36-50 for a particularly good example.

From Wikipedia:
"The New Testament, particularly the Synoptic Gospels, presents especially the leadership of the Pharisees as obsessed with man-made rules (especially concerning purity) whereas Jesus is more concerned with God’s love; the Pharisees scorn sinners whereas Jesus seeks them out... Because of the New Testament's frequent depictions of Pharisees as self-righteous rule-followers (see also Woes of the Pharisees and Legalism (theology)), the word "pharisee" (and its derivatives: "pharisaical", etc.) has come into semi-common usage in English to describe a hypocritical and arrogant person who places the letter of the law above its spirit."

Hypocritical, arrogant and self-righteous 'rule-followers'. Indeed.

I suppose you could say, "Great Caesar's ghost!!!" or something similar. 🙂

Plus Russ himself came down from the clouds to bless them, as
touted by Judas in this or other thread, I can't remember anymore.

That's why, almost ten years ago, Russ implemented the "spirituality forum".
To keep those crappy, useless and heated discussions (about practically nothing) out of other forums, especially this one.
But then again i see that in this very thread the posts discussing Rhp as the OP suggested are very few and not considerated.
Just see as this thread quickly degenerated over silly things.
Same old, same old....

Sir,
A little bit of everything gets discussed in this forum. As a rule not much in the way of religion until someone brings up something about using the Lords name in vain, then it starts a big conversation about it. Just the way it is!
