Hi everybody! I want to remind everyone to join our DRMSH exclusive community. We are going to have tons of exclusive content like weekly live sessions, protected articles, and more. So, sign up now! community.drmsh.com/

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.

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.

Anyone else having audio issues?

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

For some reason I do not have audio…. ✡️

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 and my husband couldn't get audio on our phones, but the transcript in the Description Notes was available and was awesome

The single great cause of Atheism, is Christians… Who profess Jesus with their lips, then go out and deny him by their lifestyle. - DC TALK 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

I really do dig this brother... He teaches stuff I always figured was correct but could never prove

I got good audio on windows desktop - but not on android handheld device. No idea why.. but a really fascinating topic!

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.

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!

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’m great for this particular teaching. Had a recent conversation with folks about cursing being the meaning of this idea. However, Mikes view makes so much more sense from the text! ❤

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.

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. 😎

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.

This is an important video & all people need to see this & understand.

wow, this makes so much more sense. i can't believe i misunderstood this commandment for so many years

Powerful teaching! Thank you!! ❤️🙏

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

FINALLY, a well-known source covers this!

There's no audio with this video. ☹ Hopefully he'll upload it again.

Closed caption still works

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.

Thank you for all. May you be well.

I couldn't hear this,but I know the Dr.Tells a good lesson... praise YAHWEH HalleluYahweh

Thank you so much

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

Always such a blessing ❤

There's an audio problem

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.

AND YE SHALL NOT SWEAR BY MY NAME FALSELY , NEITHER SHALT THOU PROFANE THE NAME OF THY GOD : I AM THE LORD . LEVITICUS 19 : 12 KJV

Thank you. This is so clear.

There is no audio.

Yes no sound here either

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!

fantastic teaching. I wish I had found Dr. Heiser much sooner.

No audio for me 😞

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Am I the only person having audio issues? I can't hear anything.

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.

No sound could you please repost

There is a chipmunk squeaking in the back ground. please repost. Inuntelligible audio.

No audio except squeeking sounds

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.

Audio is off.

Good thing l Am Not Blind. Really should Redo the video so people that have eye problems could watch also. Shalowm and Amen HalleluYahh.

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.

Good stuff Mikey 😎👍

Thank you 😊

No audio problem here...

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.

That makes alot of sense.

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.

Short but excellent. 👍🏼

No audio on KZfaq

There’s no audio

Thanks!

Thank you for this video lesson

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

I hear some Christian’s joking around saying God told me I’m your spouse. I’m like bro I’d be shaking in my shoes making that statement

Audio is fine. It takes a few minutes to complete the audio on KZfaq. Just wait or reboot it will work

Excellent explanation.

If u can't hear the audio , try ear phones then it will work 👍🏻

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.

If you cuss like a sailor, I would count that as Bearing the Name of God poorly.

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]".

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.

Audio wasn't working until until I got to the outro. Other videos play fine.

I still believe that using ‘Jesus Christ’ or ‘Oh my God’ in anger is entirely disrespectful.

Taking an oath, take the name. When you say "I swear to God" or "God is my witness" when you are lying. Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says’-when the LORD has not spoken. Ezk 22:28.

Wished you guys can fix the audio and repost this, I'd really love to hear this one!

Audio issues

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.

Question: Dr. Heiser, what is the ancient, extrabiblical Hebrew teaching on this passage and does it support your interpretation?

Anyone else got audio issues on this vid?

Excellent. Agree 100%

I hope sound gets fixed. Soon. Maybe it's just my side.

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.

Unbelievers wont curse God for the words you say when youre under extreme pain (like smashing your finger) but they will when you bear the name of Jesus and dont LOVE the way Jesus did.

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.

Audio all messed up, sure hope it can be fixed.

“The nations blaspheme my Name because of you”.

I can't hear a thing except for the music that plays at the beginning

Amen 💖

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 "

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!

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
