Taking the Lord's name in vain.

I care about the Name of Jesus to. But for the 47th time. The name is Jesus! Not Jeez, not Geez, but Jesus.

the moral relativism here is sad. Moral Relativism is anti-God and anti-Christ.

The Jews were falling into the same trap

Mat 15:1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
Mat 15:2 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat."
Mat 15:3 He answered them, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
Mat 15:4 For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'
Mat 15:5 But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is given to God,
Mat 15:6 he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.
Mat 15:7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
Mat 15:8 "'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;
Mat 15:9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"

Is it acceptable for preachers to say "Well, Bless GOD!!" In the manner that many do.

I don't get the scripture you posted...why are you bringing the neo-pharisee's into this?

And J--z or G--z is an EUPHAMISM of the name Jesus. To say J--z is to treat the name of Jesus with disrespect or contempt

The fact that you have to type it out in order to differentiate between Jesus and Jeez, pretty much proves the point that they are two completely separate words!

I brought the Jews and how they treated the word of God into this and moral relativism..I never mentioned neo-pharisees. BTW you can be a liberal and be a pharisee or a neo-pharisee.

LOL!!!
