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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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...
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
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'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 🙂
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.
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!
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.
@@GEES44DC you're right. So go ahead and trash his name through the mud all you want. Great point. Some folks have absolutely no clue what they're saying.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lord means Baal in hebrew strong's concordance. In vain means falsehood, lies, worthless hiding His Name. YaHWeH 7,000 times removed from His scriptures time to Restore it back. HalleluYAH🙌💜
@@hugoramirez7510 then don't read Hebrew. Lord is an English word. Lord in English means someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler.
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
Sure, because we are supposed to be mindful of our words and actions to see that they glorify God whom we worship. But to say, "OH MY GOD!" or "Jesus Christ!" is not "taking the name of the LORD" at all, let alone "in vain." To "take someone's name" is to identify as a member of their family, as in when a bride takes the name of her new husband or when an qbandoned child takes the name of his adoptive father. In our case, we are adopted into the family of God, so we "take his name." If we take his name without being changed/born again into the new Life he gives us, we take his name "in vain" or uselessly, without effect.
@@PeaceIsYeshua yep, I thought long about all the angles when I wrestled with the "don't take the name of the LORD your God in vain" verses. I agree that we shouldn't be frivolous about it. However, that issue is unrelated to this specific commandment.
@@decepticonxhunter4850 actually, God said not to take His name in vain. That is what the commandment says, and that commandment is ONLY for people who believe in Him. Notice, God didn't give that commandment to the whole world - he gave it to MOSES, who was leading ISRAEL at the time. Stop putting words in God's mouth. Or don't. He'll deal with you in His own way and time. I know someone else who likes putting words in God's mouth and twisting scripture; the first time this person shows up in the Bible, he looks like a snake.
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. ◄ 7723. shav ► Strong's Concordance shav: emptiness, vanity Original Word: שָׁוְא Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: shav Phonetic Spelling: (shawv) Definition: emptiness, vanity NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from an unused word Definition emptiness, vanity NASB Translation deceit (2), deceitful (1), deception (1), emptiness (2), empty (1), false (9), false visions (4), falsehood (7), lies (1), vain (18), vanity (3), worthless (4).
How does this relate to the blasphemer who cursed and was stoned to death in Lev 24:10 in the sense as he said it is not cursing or what comes out of your mouth? Lev 24:10 is about exactly what is coming out of his mouth and cursing.
IN VAIN - without success. Do not take the Lord's name without success. For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name without success. Or using the Lord's name to vainly elevate yourself for your own ego and not for his purpose.
One way to really know if what he says is true and Biblical is to cross-reference it with teaching in the New Testament. Paul warned believers about their Christian witness because we bear the name of Christ. This lines up with the OT. Paul pleaded with the early church about how to carefully live among the heathens so they would see a favorable representation of Christ that could lead them to a true faith. Otherwise, the name of Christ is dragged through the mud...very much like it is today. It's why unbelievers call Christians "a bunch of hypocrites" and often refuse the Gospel message b/c they do not see Christians live what they preach. We present a powerless religion. So...YES Heiser is correct that it is more than cussing.
8:50 The double representation of God by man, Gen 1.26: "God said, “Let us make man in our image [by default, all people], after our likeness [to bear His name, to act appropriately, to be God-like, Christ-like, good, virtuous, holy]".
Did you know MESSIACH is in Hebrew, Messias in Greek/Latin manuscripts, Messiah in English. No need to change it unless making a new religion. Constantine
@@hugoramirez7510 Of course, everybody knows the word Messiah is from Hebrew. It means the anointed, translated in the gospels/Greek as Christos. Its the same meaning. That's outside the topic here, anyway. What change? What new religion? A translation is not a change.
A lot of good stuff though a bit of wooden literalism as nuance does include speech. No matter what, not a false either/or, we are to honor God in deed/speech.
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.
All you need to do is understand what the word "name" means in scripture. The Hebrew word for "name" is "Shem".....Orthodox Jews call God "HaShem" ( The Name ). Shem was the second son of Noah who received the blessing of "AUTHORITY" , and from whom the "Shemites" (Semites / Hebrews / Israelites) came to be known. The word "name" means "AUTHORITY". " You shall not bear the AUTHORITY of God in vain "
In English name means name. Don't use the name of the Lord vainly don't represent the Lord vainly if you're calling yourselves a christian, it all applies. Get away from the Hebrew and read our Bible in English. Unless of course you don't believe we have the word of God today then go ahead and learn Hebrew.
@@garyg7549 ......So, what is His "name" ? Is it "Jesus" ? Is it "Yeshua" ? Is it " Joshua" ? Is it "Emanuel" ? Is it "Yahweh" ? NO, these are "TITLES". The word "name" in the Hebrew is "shem". The word "name" in the Greek is "onoma" . BOTH words mean "AUTHORITY", and have absolutely nothing to do with ANY proper "name". You're still stuck in the "flesh", and don't have a clue.
Dr. Heiser started me on a journey two years ago of reading the Bible afresh. After learning some of my tradition's beliefs contradicted scripture (independent fundamentalist Baptist) I started evaluating the claims of different traditions, and in the end, the Bible made me Roman Catholic after a multi-year process. I'll be starting RCIA this September and I can't wait to receive our Lord in the Eucharist. ALSO - a note to anyone who's anti-Catholic, if you're anything like I was, then you think Catholics believe they save themselves through their good works, worship Mary and the Saints, believe in a cannabalistic eucharist, blah blah blah. Through my study I found none of this to be true. If you want to know what the Church actually teaches, then go straight to the horses mouth, not the mouth of your anti-Catholic pastor. I found all the caricatures of catholic beliefs my pastor told me were hopelessly untrue. I honestly felt betrayed. Anyways, God bless anyone reading this!
Have you read Roman but not Cathalic by Jerry L walls? It's a great book that captures my perspective. With that said, Catholics are clearly Christians and fellow followers of Christ.
I've nearly gotten an ulcer from trying to explain to people that saying "my god" isnt taking the lords name in vein. Some people dont really wanna know the reality or truth they just wanna keep doing what they are doing
But what is it that they’re saying when they say, “Oh my, God!”? If they’re calling out to God that’s one thing, but most are using His name frivolously when this is said. I even had a guy tell me that he studied what taking the Lord’s name in vain meant, and he came to the conclusion that saying, “God, D- it” wasn’t taking the Lord’s name in vain, so he continued to use this awful phrase. :/ Whatever the case, why is is so hard to just say, “Oh my gosh?”
This is another problem with Dr Michael heiser. He causes confusion and States many untruths with his doctrine. He is incredibly revered though full of errors. Of course it includes any derogatory speech or language or irreverence towards our God. Even a child knows that.
Excellent exposition on bearing His name. However, I'm surprised this clip did not delve into what it actually means to bear it in "vain." The word vain in Exodus 20:7 is šāv' , which means (emptiness, vanity, falsehood), is the same word used in Psalm 12:2, where can see the practical definition of what it means to take God's Name in vain. "They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak." All the lying, false teachers in the world today speak to their congregants with flattering lips and double hearts, standing in a place where they are supposed to be representatives of God. As the latter part of verse 7 says, "..the LORD will not hold him guiltless.."

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.
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.
There is a chipmunk squeaking in the back ground. please repost. Inuntelligible audio.
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.
Born 2 Times, Heavenly !!
Born 1st Time, Physically !
Born-again, 2nd Time, is REQUIRED, Spiritually !!
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.

Stop crying. You're gonna get your pants wrinkled.
@@hugoramirez7510 then don't read Hebrew. Lord is an English word. Lord in English means someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler.
Wished you guys can fix the audio and repost this, I'd really love to hear this one!
Audio issues
wow, this makes so much more sense. i can't believe i misunderstood this commandment for so many years
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.
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
Awesome
Good stuff Mikey 😎👍
No audio except squeeking sounds
Audio wasn't working until until I got to the outro. Other videos play fine.
Thanks!
If you cuss like a sailor, I would count that as Bearing the Name of God poorly.
Sure, because we are supposed to be mindful of our words and actions to see that they glorify God whom we worship. But to say, "OH MY GOD!" or "Jesus Christ!" is not "taking the name of the LORD" at all, let alone "in vain." To "take someone's name" is to identify as a member of their family, as in when a bride takes the name of her new husband or when an qbandoned child takes the name of his adoptive father. In our case, we are adopted into the family of God, so we "take his name." If we take his name without being changed/born again into the new Life he gives us, we take his name "in vain" or uselessly, without effect.
@@blacksheep6365
Saying those phrases is using God’s name lightly-something we should never do. ❤️ So many people say these things without thinking. 😔
@@PeaceIsYeshua yep, I thought long about all the angles when I wrestled with the "don't take the name of the LORD your God in vain" verses. I agree that we shouldn't be frivolous about it. However, that issue is unrelated to this specific commandment.
@@blacksheep6365 That issue is not unrelated to the 3rd commandment because God explicitly said that ppl are not to misuse His name in any way.
@@decepticonxhunter4850 actually, God said not to take His name in vain. That is what the commandment says, and that commandment is ONLY for people who believe in Him. Notice, God didn't give that commandment to the whole world - he gave it to MOSES, who was leading ISRAEL at the time. Stop putting words in God's mouth. Or don't. He'll deal with you in His own way and time.
I know someone else who likes putting words in God's mouth and twisting scripture; the first time this person shows up in the Bible, he looks like a snake.
I still believe that using ‘Jesus Christ’ or ‘Oh my God’ in anger is entirely disrespectful.
It still most likely is.
Audio all messed up, sure hope it can be fixed.
No audio! Is love to hear this!
I hope sound gets fixed. Soon. Maybe it's just my side.
If u can't hear the audio , try ear phones then it will work 👍🏻
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.

How does this relate to the blasphemer who cursed and was stoned to death in Lev 24:10 in the sense as he said it is not cursing or what comes out of your mouth? Lev 24:10 is about exactly what is coming out of his mouth and cursing.
IN VAIN - without success. Do not take the Lord's name without success. For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name without success. Or using the Lord's name to vainly elevate yourself for your own ego and not for his purpose.
One way to really know if what he says is true and Biblical is to cross-reference it with teaching in the New Testament. Paul warned believers about their Christian witness because we bear the name of Christ. This lines up with the OT. Paul pleaded with the early church about how to carefully live among the heathens so they would see a favorable representation of Christ that could lead them to a true faith. Otherwise, the name of Christ is dragged through the mud...very much like it is today. It's why unbelievers call Christians "a bunch of hypocrites" and often refuse the Gospel message b/c they do not see Christians live what they preach. We present a powerless religion. So...YES Heiser is correct that it is more than cussing.
No audio
Voice audio extremely quiet for me whereas the music is loud, any one else?
Thank you for this video lesson
Excellent. Agree 100%
For some reason there is no audio coming through.
8:50 The double representation of God by man, Gen 1.26: "God said, “Let us make man in our image [by default, all people], after our likeness [to bear His name, to act appropriately, to be God-like, Christ-like, good, virtuous, holy]".
Did you know MESSIACH is in Hebrew, Messias in Greek/Latin manuscripts, Messiah in English. No need to change it unless making a new religion. Constantine
@@hugoramirez7510 Of course, everybody knows the word Messiah is from Hebrew. It means the anointed, translated in the gospels/Greek as Christos. Its the same meaning. That's outside the topic here, anyway. What change? What new religion? A translation is not a change.
Audio is fine. It takes a few minutes to complete the audio on TH-cam. Just wait or reboot it will work
I don't have any audio on this video....
A lot of good stuff though a bit of wooden literalism as nuance does include speech. No matter what, not a false either/or, we are to honor God in deed/speech.
Exactly. Not sure why the thumbnail States it's not cussing.
FYI your audio in this video clip is all messed up
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.
Question: Dr. Heiser, what is the ancient, extrabiblical Hebrew teaching on this passage and does it support your interpretation?
It is a sin to say certain things that insult God’s name. Saying ‘Jesus’ as a vain reaction to bad things is insulting to Him.
Ne1 else having trouble with the audio?
No audio through Apple mobile
No audio on smartphone.
Audio isn't working for me...
Use both wireless earbuds to hear.
All you need to do is understand what the word "name" means in scripture.
The Hebrew word for "name" is "Shem".....Orthodox Jews call God "HaShem" ( The Name ).
Shem was the second son of Noah who received the blessing of "AUTHORITY" , and from whom
the "Shemites" (Semites / Hebrews / Israelites) came to be known.
The word "name" means "AUTHORITY".
" You shall not bear the AUTHORITY of God in vain "
In English name means name. Don't use the name of the Lord vainly don't represent the Lord vainly if you're calling yourselves a christian, it all applies. Get away from the Hebrew and read our Bible in English. Unless of course you don't believe we have the word of God today then go ahead and learn Hebrew.
@@garyg7549.....The Father has NO "name".
WHO was before Him to "name" Him ???
@@TheWhyisthatso LOL "I am" probably named himself.
@@TheWhyisthatso but you're getting closer. Of course there's a name above every name.
@@garyg7549 ......So, what is His "name" ?
Is it "Jesus" ?
Is it "Yeshua" ?
Is it " Joshua" ?
Is it "Emanuel" ?
Is it "Yahweh" ?
NO, these are "TITLES".
The word "name" in the Hebrew is "shem".
The word "name" in the Greek is "onoma" .
BOTH words mean "AUTHORITY", and have absolutely nothing to do with ANY
proper "name".
You're still stuck in the "flesh", and don't have a clue.
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.
Dr. Heiser started me on a journey two years ago of reading the Bible afresh. After learning some of my tradition's beliefs contradicted scripture (independent fundamentalist Baptist) I started evaluating the claims of different traditions, and in the end, the Bible made me Roman Catholic after a multi-year process. I'll be starting RCIA this September and I can't wait to receive our Lord in the Eucharist. ALSO - a note to anyone who's anti-Catholic, if you're anything like I was, then you think Catholics believe they save themselves through their good works, worship Mary and the Saints, believe in a cannabalistic eucharist, blah blah blah. Through my study I found none of this to be true. If you want to know what the Church actually teaches, then go straight to the horses mouth, not the mouth of your anti-Catholic pastor. I found all the caricatures of catholic beliefs my pastor told me were hopelessly untrue. I honestly felt betrayed.
Anyways, God bless anyone reading this!
Wow!! Usually it’s the opposite-that reading the Bible turns Catholics into non-Catholics. God bless you on your journey. 🙏🏻
@@PeaceIsYeshua I'm really thankful for your charity!
@@taylorj.1628
Aww, you’re most welcome! 🙏🏻💕
Have you read Roman but not Cathalic by Jerry L walls? It's a great book that captures my perspective. With that said, Catholics are clearly Christians and fellow followers of Christ.
Another wonderful Dr Michael Heiser convert. Excellent results and wonderful testimony to the doctor's methods, subject matter, and direction.
I've nearly gotten an ulcer from trying to explain to people that saying "my god" isnt taking the lords name in vein. Some people dont really wanna know the reality or truth they just wanna keep doing what they are doing
But what is it that they’re saying when they say, “Oh my, God!”? If they’re calling out to God that’s one thing, but most are using His name frivolously when this is said. I even had a guy tell me that he studied what taking the Lord’s name in vain meant, and he came to the conclusion that saying, “God, D- it” wasn’t taking the Lord’s name in vain, so he continued to use this awful phrase. :/
Whatever the case, why is is so hard to just say, “Oh my gosh?”
I didn't know that was a cause of ulcers.
This is another problem with Dr Michael heiser. He causes confusion and States many untruths with his doctrine. He is incredibly revered though full of errors.
Of course it includes any derogatory speech or language or irreverence towards our God. Even a child knows that.
@@kelle0285 he said he nearly got one. Reading is fundamental.
@@garyg7549 Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Excellent exposition on bearing His name. However, I'm surprised this clip did not delve into what it actually means to bear it in "vain." The word vain in Exodus 20:7 is šāv' , which means (emptiness, vanity, falsehood), is the same word used in Psalm 12:2, where can see the practical definition of what it means to take God's Name in vain. "They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak." All the lying, false teachers in the world today speak to their congregants with flattering lips and double hearts, standing in a place where they are supposed to be representatives of God. As the latter part of verse 7 says, "..the LORD will not hold him guiltless.."
Audio is gone for me.
There's no sound to the video
Is it just my device, as there is nothing but garbled audio.?
But what about the vain part? That wasn't addressed directly.
Audio problems, worked on tv, not the phone
