I'm pretty sure the "using the Lord's name in vain" doesn't refer to Christ but instead it refers to God's actual name instead, which means you technically can't use his name in vain since I doubt anyone knows what it's supposed to be. :mumeiaoa:
You're joking but by the concept of the Holy Trinity they're the same.

It has little to do with the words used for the name, though that may be a part of it depending upon interpretation. Too many Christians get all huffed and angry about saying "ohmygod" and then turn around and actually use the name "in vain" because they don't have reading comprehension, and for some, it's easier to try to make a slur out of it than actually confront internal narcissism.

It's the invoking of God for ill purpose, using it for vanity. It's saying "God told me to do something." when he didn't, or saying that one is a righteous person when performing an act that isn't so righteous (narcissists do this, usually), or using the name to curse someone or grift, like the many megachurches built fundamentally on a charismatic grifter. Boomer Catholics have ruined the interpretation and made a slur while they keep on saying it's righteous to beat their wives/husbands or whatever.

Fwiw, if Rev were grifting here (I don't really think he is, it's a strange thing to tweet though) it would be a textbook definition of using it in vain without saying any "name" in an ill manner.

Trinitarianism was a mistake. Return to the wisdom of Arian, the only branch of Christianity not corrupted by the edicts of a pagan emperor, and the first branch of Christianity adopted by germanic peoples.

If you haven't yet I suggest reading through older Saint writings on that heresy so thay you can understand exactly why it is condemned.

For all this arguing I'd say to everyone go read the Imprecatory Psalms.

Roll in with modern-day Unitarians/Jehovah’s Witnesses vs. super awesome converted emperor dude who saw visions and normalized Christians empire-wide? That’s not even a question. Not that Constantine was, uh, perfect in his belief, or that it wasn’t motivated by other, maybe selfish reasons. Ends justify the means, and all that.

I accept the Catholic claim that the line of Popes leads back to St. Peter himself even if I disagree with the idea he’s the only valid church. It’s not super disputable. I would trust them more on matters of heresy than I will other groups in that time period, otherwise you have no standard and we could end up with what the Nordic polytheistic religions were up to!

I propose that it is time to implement the "community stoning" part of the thread title.

It’s ~200 words… and it’s an “off-topic” thread.

You might have a point if someone were here preaching but it’s just discussion? Perhaps off-topic?:confusedshuba:

That's on the Spanish for bringing black and chink pirates with them when they started colonizing the island. Unlike Americans, who got the """bri'ish""" and a few hollandaise autists hitching a ride on the Mayflower, we got refuse from the get go.

Offtopic but it's funny that I've actually seen several people really think that this is the real H3, despite the @ having productions misspelled and the name saying parody.
Didn't get get Anisa with this one or am I having a Mandela effect moment!??!
