What Does it MEAN to "Take God's Name in Vain”?

- 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. - บันเทิง

Anyone else having audio issues?
Yes
Yes
I'm not
It played normally for me on an Android phone.
Try ear phones will work
For some reason on some devices there's no audio. The video sounds normal on a computer but on some phones does not. We are looking into it.
Thank you.
😭
It sounds like a robot ant at my end 😀
Sound is fine, using Samsung Galaxy 9. Hope Mike is doing well.
Weird, my divide is one of them, sound if I get it is like weird computer distortion
I have learned more [have my eyes opened} from Dr. Michael in a few few years than I have all my life. He can teach like no other and being highly educated as he is he never teaches over peoples ability to learn, that is what I need, simple truth.

I'm from a rural community in South Alabama where everyone knows everybody. My daddy would often tell me, "Remember who you are." My family had a good reputation & I was not to tarnish it.
Sounds like a similar situation to us and God.
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.
I feel for you. Same exact situation. A mother who literally God, not Jesus, not the Holy Spirit, talked to her M-F 7:30 am to 9am from spring of '77 to fall of '78. 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!
Yea alot of people think to take the name in vain as swearing but it's actually to claim beliefs and not commiting but continuing to claim
There is no mention of hell in the Hebrew Bible, therefore the whole Christian invention of hell is carrying God's name in vain.
The idea that Jesus is God in the flesh is also breaking the third commandment.
God will heal your wounds from your childhood. He didn’t hurt you. God bless.
EXACTLY!!!!!
This is the best teaching I think I've ever heard on the 3rd Commandment. I have always known in my lev that there was much more to it than simply refraining from cussing or saying inappropriate words or whatnot. Thank you , Dr. Heiser!!
Shalom,
Alan
How about doing a rerun of this with some audio. Turned the sound way up and then the signature chord almost blew me out of the room. LOL.
I really do dig this brother... He teaches stuff I always figured was correct but could never prove
I refer to him and am always showing people who either have the same question or wrong doctrine.
I and my husband couldn't get audio on our phones, but the transcript in the Description Notes was available and was awesome
Every Step(Action) you take in your daily life is to reflect the GOD we serve that he is GOD and there is No Other.
Shalowm and Amen HalleluYahh.
THANK YOU!! Such a simple, short teaching, yet SO PROFOUND! I so appreciate every teaching you offer, and I am so grateful.
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.
It's like I tell people...
"Whatever you do, for good or bad, reflects not only on you, but on your family as well."
It's the same when you serve the Lord.
I listened to this in my car...the audio was very strange, but the content was excellent as always. We're still praying hard for you and your family doc, and we'll continue to do so. 😎
I'm listening to this in my car. As I'm writing this comment, I'm weaving in and out of heavy traffic at 85 mph. Uh-oh, here come the Popos.
I got good audio on windows desktop - but not on android handheld device. No idea why.. but a really fascinating topic!
Same, audio is messed up on my Android. Android probably wants ppl to keep thinking that commandment is about "OMG"
That's interesting, 'cause the audio for this video isn't coming through for me all that well on my pc. On the other hand, the intro at 16 seconds in sounds great (lasts 5 seconds). The outro at 9:21 also comes through well, though not exactly on par with the intro, but slightly softer. Everything in between is blah...
My Bluetooth headset is working OK with this video, streaming from my android still. Some spots are still a little fuzzy though.
@@blacksheep6365 saying OMG irreverently IS taking the name of the Lord in vain and must be repented of, lest "the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain"
@@apracity7672 not if that person doesn't actually claim to follow God. Plus a person's god isn't NECESSARILY God the Creator. Lots of people worship themselves. If they're saying OMG in this irreverent way and really they are their own god, they're not taking the Name of The LORD in vain. You have to remember, the 10 Commandments were only given to the people of Moses. There's a whole world out there of non-God-worshipping people. It doesn't do to be offended by all their frivolous speech.
Besides. All of that is external to the ACTUAL ISSUE - which is, people labeling themselves as followers of the God of Abraham without being transformed by His character acting in their lives.
Stop trying to turn this into a legalism thing when it isn't.
This is an important video & all people need to see this & understand.
Excellent teaching, and a perspective that I had not heard before. It brings a greater understanding, in that...if I am supposed to carry, or bear the name of the Lord not in vain, then I _absolutely_ should not use His name flippantly...or as a curse word...but as Dr. Heiser has revealed...that is only the beginning, for it is SO MUCH MORE than just that!
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.
@@joshuastoltzfus4910
Outstanding Joshua! I applaud the attitude which you possess...that being, the desire to be holy before the Lord without appearing religious, or self-righteous before others, but rather...genuine. One whose attitude and actions are a clear indication to others of a transformed man, so that they sense that your devotion to the Lord is true, rather than a dog and pony show for the benefit of their eyes.
God bless you!
@@joshuastoltzfus4910
Wow, I love your comment so much! Praise God for your transformation! 🙏🏻🎉
@@joshuastoltzfus4910 I can totally relate to your comment. Same thing happened to me. God bless 🙏🏻
The thumbnail says it's not cussing. So go ahead. According to Dr heiser.
There's no audio with this video. ☹ Hopefully he'll upload it again.
I heard audio.
Using my android speakers I only got all the S sounds. Using Bluetooth headset I can hear the teaching but some spots are a little muddled.
The voice is out of phase. Therefore you will hear nothing through a mono speaker like a phone, but will hear audio through stereo speakers. Please rerelease this video with the phase swapped on one channel.
@@mattdudamusic Good catch
The sound was clear and in phase for me.
Powerful teaching! Thank you!! ❤️🙏
Thank you for all.
May you be well.
Thanks, Dr Heiser. I've wondered what the correct interpretation was of that command & now I think I got my answer. + I didn't have audio issues @ all but I'm on my laptop; not a phone
I'm on fone, no audio
Always such a blessing ❤
wow, this makes so much more sense. i can't believe i misunderstood this commandment for so many years
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!
The single great cause of Atheism, is Christians…
Who profess Jesus with their lips, then go out and deny him by their lifestyle.

What if I stumble?
I used to tell people to look to Jesus for the example, not me! I’m flawed like you!
But that was and is a cop out. 🤔
No matter how true, we are expected to grow in the faith. And bring honor and glory to our Lord.
I know it’s hard! I’ve made many excuses over the years!
But the first step is the hardest… each step afterwards gets easier and easier. Before you know it your walk is now a race! Run you race as to win!
Give me YOUR strength Father! I can’t do this alone!
Shame is too heavy on my soul to keep carrying! I run much faster with a clean conscience.
But again, I can’t do it alone ABBA! But only with your Spirit in me, can I overcome!
All honor and glory to YOU FATHER! In your Sons most precious name, YESHUA! Amen
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.
There's an audio problem
For some reason I do not have audio…. ✡️
That hexagram isn't gonna help you either.
FINALLY, a well-known source covers this!
No audio for me 😞
No sound could you please repost
I couldn't hear this,but I know the Dr.Tells a good lesson... praise YAHWEH
HalleluYahweh
Thank you. This is so clear.
fantastic teaching. I wish I had found Dr. Heiser much sooner.
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
Wished you guys can fix the audio and repost this, I'd really love to hear this one!
Thank you for this video lesson
Am I the only one who got a kind of hissy sound the whole time he talks, but then the little song after the beginning snippet sounds exactly correct, but then it goes back to being a kind of hissy noise? Google subtitles are showing up properly as well.
I was taught " your name precedes you", your life actions, people will know/hear before they meet you & hear your name the character of you/name.
Thank you so much
Another respected biblical scholar who talks about the name Decalogue, or bearing God’s name, is Dr. Carmen Imes, for anyone interested. In fact, she was interviewed by Dr. Heiser on the nakedbible podcast episode 302.
For those having audio issues, it seems to only be an issue for headphones which use a stereo connection. If played aloud on your phone or other device without headphones it works fine.
Closed caption still works
Thanks
Am I the only person having audio issues? I can't hear anything.
I could only hear when I put ear phones in
Audio is off.
Audio is fine. It takes a few minutes to complete the audio on TH-cam. Just wait or reboot it will work
Short but excellent. 👍🏼
I'm short and excellent.
Good stuff Mikey 😎👍
For some reason I'm having audio issues on this video... I clicked on other videos and they were fine, just this one. Doesn't seem anyone else is having it though. I'll try watch on another device.
greatvideo as always

Question: Dr. Heiser, what is the ancient, extrabiblical Hebrew teaching on this passage and does it support your interpretation?
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.
Audio for Mike's voice is NOT working. I can hear the opening"logo music" but then it's pretty much silent except for some "warbly whispers". (?)
CC does work, though
Thank you 😊
There’s no audio

Wow, that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing that! Be blessed!
Excellent explanation.
Confusing, because here he says it does not includes speech at 0:50, but in Naked Bible Podcast episode 288 at 48:15, he says it DOES include speech. He does go on to say that it is more than just speech, but it sounds like we can’t just dismiss the speech aspect of it either.
July 13 - no sound on PC or kindle with 4 different browsers. Still broken although The captions work, it is disappointing not to hear Dr. Heiser.
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 🙂
For some reason there is no audio coming through.
I can't hear a thing except for the music that plays at the beginning
No audio! Is love to hear this!
Audio all messed up, sure hope it can be fixed.
Is that software he uses available on his website?
Excellent. Agree 100%
Awesome
No audio problem here...
Sounds like mice squeaking to me. Other then that, no audio
I’m pretty sure I heard either a podcast or an interview with he saying that Satan was not in the garden of Eden. If it’s not to say so. It is a no wondering what you think of Ezekiel 28. Thanks for your consideration
That makes alot of sense.
Good thing l Am Not
Blind. Really should Redo the video so people that have eye problems could watch also. Shalowm and Amen HalleluYahh.
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."
In vain means falsehood, lies, worthless, the Tetragramaton is YHWH is YaHWeH 75%of scholars agree. Time to Restore His Name back 7,000 times removed. We know what will happen to anyone that removes or add to His scriptures.

I always took it to mean to not use His Name as a curse or demand that he curse someone. We are only to use His Name to talk to Him or about Him.
I don't have any audio on this video....
Yes no sound here either
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.
Audio wasn't working until until I got to the outro. Other videos play fine.
Voice audio extremely quiet for me whereas the music is loud, any one else?
This is so awesome to hear someone else say this! The Ruach led me to this some time ago! What conformation!
Audio issues
Where can I hear the rest? It sounded like he was still going when it ended...
Is the sound not working for anyone else? Just this video has garbled sound, all others are fine!
Scripture always gets me crying lol. I’ve been saying “hey I want the name of the Lord in me too”. I didn’t know this is what was going on. Understanding this however now is terrible lol. Because now I’m thinking about how the North American church has soiled his name over the last 40 years. This isn’t good church.

Idk why but the audio is messed up for me. Anyone else having this problem?
Amen 💖
Is there an issue with the audio volume?
There is no audio.
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.
What sound did Mary hear when Gabriel specifically told her to name Messiah? That is the sound, frequency, pitch that has power. Why has this name been lost in translations? Satan does not want us to repeat the sound for messiah that was ordained by God the creator.
There's a name above all names and it's Jesus Christ. Satan doesn't want you to get a grip of that.
