That is so many of the problems. When people say they speak for the holy spirit, and blasphemy, are also part of that same thing, spoken in the Bible.

If your going to mess up, everyone makes mistakes, but don't say you are doing it for God. I couldn't believe a group of bankers said that. Still wonder if that was made up. Although they never answered my questions on that topic.

If you do use the name of God, you end up making God look bad, unless you are perfect, and no person is. If he wants you as on his side, he will cover small mistakes, but most people use the names for the way it creates an impression in other peoples minds.


And people do that with both good and bad names. That is part of Label Trap.

If your point is valid, you shouldn't have to invoke what a group considers to be divine name of God.

I think Jewish people, some of them even say they should not even say or type it at all, so write it without vowels.


So many of faith end up ruining a faith for many by how they put so much bad into what people think it is. My faith had to survive what I thought it was about from so many people running around talking about it in ways that are really bad.

So I think that guy is right, people should not invoke divinity to make there point. The point should show its value, not attaching a noun to it.

Yea there is no way to know if God is on your side, Lincoln said that best. And there are many people that use one noun, while speaking about something else. There are even some that think they follow something and actually follow something else.

So I try to avoid usage of names also, although it calms down many people of faith to know that I can, so for comfort I occasionally make statements of belief, but not statements of saying what God chooses to think or the mind of God.

Nobody can know for sure. Although no Christian can say a person is not on God's side becuase of hardship, since they said to Jesus, take yourself down from the cross. And Job was said to be a worthy servant, and had hardship. So even someones situation wont tell you if God is on someones side. And you don't know if someones lot for today is same for tomorrow. So in faith, there are lots of ways people seem to judge people 'value' based on some circumstance, that according to teachings has nothing to do with there 'value'

So I try not to judge.
