Amen. It is so extremely sad that even preachers/teachers these days are showing they do not respect God and are teaching others to likewise not respect God. Matthew 18:5-7 (ESV) "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!" Corey, you are playing with fire. You dare to teach to the babes in Christ and to children that it is ok to blaspheme the name of God. I haven't followed your videos much, but have seen a few from time-to-time, and thought you were Biblically sound. Obviously not. Please repent of this total evilness!

Yep, to the point where we might even be saying it wrong today, because the true pronunciation of YHWH might’ve gotten lost because they respected his name so much… where’s even half of that respect today … apparently it’s gone out the window because people just toss his name around without a care nowadays… if anyone should be standing against this it should be us Christians …

Amen my brother it’s really said back then writing the lord’s name was heavily taken into consideration.

@@aaronlee6821 Amen.

Amen! And some scribes would even wash themselves before writing down His name because of how holy He is.

Amen. Great comment, brother ❤️

@@thebibleisrightperiod Thank you very much sister. ❤

The tv programs us to just shouting out jc

God is who he is, not his name.

Amen brother. We also need to be careful of minced oaths which are just as bad, as they carry the equivalent meaning.

Then they are not followers of Christ.

With all due respect. Christians are walking contradictions because the only thing that is offensive is cursive language and yet when it comes to Stuff like putting children on a stripper pole, CRT, drag queens grooming kids And the like....crickets.

I don’t see why Corey would think it would be a problem. Other than there’s cuss words in the middle.. but what’s the difference?

Yeah, I think "You don't care about God 24/7, but it still is in you to call on him, when something terrible happens". To me that is proof that God imprinted right and wrong in everybodies heart.

@@sisterbecky411 I try to love God. I love His law and everything He says makes sense. But how do I know I love Him? I rarely have any peace or any joy. I'm always so anxious and so on nerve it seems like I couldn't be saved. Why doesn't God allow me to be happy?

@Sister Becky I thought I had christian friends who cared. I'm living with two really long time friends who are Christians. They don't live like Christians, and one of them even got mad at me for talking to one our atheist friends about God. I also feel like I'm constantly mad at God and I don't know why.

@Sister Becky That makes sense. I've caught myself cursing God and I feel so guilty... I've never been so dissatisfied and honestly miserable. I always feel so guilt ridden and I'm always asking myself, when did I become like this. I could be having a perfectly normal day, and out of no where I'm just mad. Mad enough that I'm tempted to just break things. It makes me question my salvation all the time. I honestly don't know.

@@CaptainPantys The sign of a true Christian is a heart that has been changed. If you don't have a heart that has been changed, then please, with a totally open heart, accepting that you are nothing but a convicted sinner, full of love for sin and self, repent to God and ask Him to change your heart. Have a heart that is willing to accept Jesus Christ for all that He is. To be willing to accept Him as the complete Master of your life. When He gives you a new heart, you will no longer love sin/self. With a new heart, you will hate sin, die to self, and live for Christ. Of course, even a true Christian still sins, but a true Christian does not continue in sin, and has a heart, via God's Holy Spirit, that is convicted of sin and seeks to repent from all sin and follow Christ. There are so many professing Christians that only say it with their mouth, but in their heart they are still the same old self. Don't be one of them. Be a true believer. Don't be discouraged by those professing Christians who aren't. Seek out a good church where there are people who you can see their good fruits, which are a product of a converted heart. I know it's hard for some to find such a church, but please try, and have fellowship with true believers. Most of all, as a true believer, keep reading God's Word daily and in prayer.

This is 100% blasphemy.

Exactly. I cringe when people say God's name in a vain, irreverent way. I prefer people to use ordinary profanity deemed by society than to use "Jesus Christ" or "Oh my God" in replacement for "curse words".

JC, I absolutely agree with you. Substituting God's name/title/reference to Him, in place of a profanity, is trying to equate Him with that profanity. Absolutely 100% complete blasphemy. And adding to that, minced oaths which are nothing but substitutes for it are just as bad, if not worse.

@@thebibleisrightperiod I’m exactly the same way, it burns me up to here the Lords name tossed around like that, especially by Christians…

Agreed. I love Corey’s teachings but he is wrong on this one. The lord shall not be mocked

That means to carry His name invain! If you are using the names of God as you do a four-lettered word than I would say that is carrying His name invain! I would also say GD is invain! I wouldn't say His name unless it's calling upon Him!!! 🙌🏻🙏🏻

So it's ok to take God's title or anything that refers to God in vain, just not His name? Absolutely not!

Wat shouting out jc all time ?

We cannot just say His name in an irreverent way either.

So because it's God's title, then that makes it ok to take His title in vain? Whether a name, title, or some other word, if it refers to the person/being, then it has the same effect. If you refer to the "President of the United States", everyone knows who you are talking about, even though that is his title. And if you make some threat to the life of that title, the Secret Service will come knocking on your door and charge you with a serious crime. Or if you use the recently coined phrase, "Let's go Brand___", you are using a minced oath which carries the meaning of using an expletive to refer to President Biden. The same with God. Whether we use His name, His title, or a minced oath of His name/title, we are referring to Him, and will be held accountable for our words.

​@@aaronlee6821amen

I wouldn’t say it. It’s just feels wrong. I would err on the side of caution.

@@Mr.MacMan right

Well “God” is a title not a name. But I see where you’re going. There are Christians who refer to God as Dios, Elohim….some even say Allah which is simply “God” in Arabic The common denominator for believers is simply Jesus Christ. People can go on and on in regards to language but The Father knows when you are referring to his Son and our Lord

That's even worse. Don't say "Jesus Christ", "God" or any name of God in a flippant or irreverent way.

@@sisterbecky411 AMEN

The idea that people are using “God” as a replacement for curse words just doesn’t make sense. Nobody is actually doing that. Watch the nonsense that is produced when I literally do what you’re saying people are doing (I’ll try to soften the language while giving you the drift): OMG does not mean, “oh my fudge”. JFC does not mean, “sheesh fudgin’ Christ”. If someone spoke like that, they would receive looks, and not just because of profanity, but because they are using language very strangely. If the number one thing Gosh wants his followers to do is spread the gospel, so that others will find their ways to him, what is the worst thing you could do? Would it be using coarse language in your daily life? Or would it be draping yourself in the righteousness of Gosh for your own ends? Ends that might actually result in people thinking, “They are good; I am bad. Gosh evidently hates me, so why bother with all that?” And we know what is described in Exodus 20:7 is the worst thing you can do, because it’s the only commandment that says something to the effect of, “for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain”. I can violate all other commandments (to include taking lives), ask for forgiveness, and have the slate wiped clean, but if I say OMG I’ll never know Gosh’s grace? Huh?

Amen, brother. Might I just add, that in browsing through the comments here, I'm so encouraged to see so many other people saying the same thing. Sometimes it seems I'm alone in trying to proclaim how wrong taking God's name in vain is. Well, in seeing so many other believers who also see it as taking God's name in vain, and seeing how many of us are offended when hearing those words/phrases, it is important for Corey and anyone who thinks it's ok to use them, to realize how they are offending brothers/sisters in Christ, and in effect trying to teach them that it's ok to go against what God has placed on their heart as being a sin. It is absolutely in no way loving of your brothers/sisters in Christ to be using those words when speaking to them. And not loving your brothers/sisters in Christ is the mark of an unbeliever. Thus, Corey and anyone else in that position, you seriously need to examine yourselves to see if you are even in the faith. Your actions of standing up for your rights to use such words, when you could just as easily use words that in no way refer to God, are simply proving you do not love the body of Christ. This is a very serious matter, you (Corey) need to reconsider, repent, and ask yourself if you really are even a Christian.

@@aaronlee6821 Yes brother I’m glad to see so many give push back as well. However, none of us are perfect brother, and sometimes we’re ignorant to certain things even after we’ve been in the faith for some time, so let’s not question brother Corey’s salvation, but instead pray that the Lord opens his eyes… let’s just pray that he and others see our criticism and becomes convicted or at least gives it some thought and consideration… hopefully people don’t just brush our thoughts and opinions off, and just because we’re the little people in the comment section and Corey’s the teacher haha… Pray for the body bro, May God bless

@@Muzicboy3 Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Yes, I totally agree that none of use are perfect, and we each have our own issues. And we most definitely need to be considerate of others when we approach them with matters such as this. My take on Corey's personality is that he's very thick skinned, so I naturally take a bit harsher approach to people who are thick skinned compared to those who are not, because I think it takes more to register for a thick skinned person. But, of course, I could be wrong. The other thing is that being a teacher, we must be held to a high standard. In this case, in my opinion, Corey is teaching that it's ok to disrespect and blaspheme God. Now, of course Corey doesn't think that way, but to be teaching others this, many of us who do think it's wrong, to varying degrees, and to be teaching that it's ok to new Christians, is really unacceptable in my opinion. Also, I believe Corey has been a Christian for a long time. Of course, even mature Christians have learning that needs to be done. Anyways, due to a combination of those factors, plus my personal low tolerance to hearing God's name being used in vain, my reaction was quite strong. I hope that my comments are taken in the way they were intended, and not at all meant to hurt the body of Christ.

"Oh my goodness" is just as bad, if not worse. It is a minced oath that means "oh my God". It was created so that non-Christians so that they could take God's name in vain, without using the word "God", and thereby get around cultural norms back at that time, when it was not acceptable to publicly take God's name in vain, where people in general held God in much higher esteem that people in general do these days. It is supposedly not as offensive, but should be every bit as offensive to a Christian. Please look up the history of this phrase, and you will see what I said. If someone says words that take God's name in vain out of habit, with a habit they learned before becoming a Christian, I'm certainly understanding. If you catch yourself though, in my opinion, it is appropriate to immediately apologize to the person you spoke those words to, and of course to ask God for forgiveness. Think about the people of the world, how they watch Christians like a hawk. Then think about how your testimony in front of people of the world is totally destroyed when they hear you speaking words the show a complete lack of respect for the God you claim is Master of your life. It will sound to them like you are a complete hypocrite. That is why, in my opinion, if any Christian does slip up, an apology to those who heard it is necessary.

@@aaronlee6821 Thank you!

@Aaron Lee To elaborate, it never occurred to me that Oh My Goodness would be a vain thing. It sounds more like, "something surprising happening in SPITE of goodness". But I still need to study! Thank you again ☺️

@@mandalovescatspandas1781 I'm happy to have helped at least one person to see that. In actuality, it never dawned on me for quite some time that it was even a minced oath. I knew that others, such as "Gosh", "Gee", "Golly" were minced oaths, even from an early age, but it wasn't until much later that I realized "Oh my goodness" was as well. And of course, I don't hold it against anyone for using a word/phrase that they were not aware of the meaning of. It does though cause one to think that maybe there are other words they are using, which they don't know the meaning of, which may be inappropriate if they learned the meaning/origin. I would recommend anyone/everyone to look up on the internet a list of minced oaths, and see if there are others that they've been using. Regarding "oh my goodness", when you think about it, along with Mark 10:18, "And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone."", it suddenly makes so much sense why someone long ago coined that phrase as a substitute for "oh my God", being only God is good.

@Aaron Lee wow, language is super clever. Being that God alone is goodness, yeah. That really does sound like a curse. And with all these G word exclamations out there (gee, golly, gosh, geez) and people using them when unexpected things happens, it's like cursing God almost without knowing it. Satan wants us to curse God and blame him for all of our problems. It's what Job passed through during his trials. Job never blamed God for his issues and his love remained. That's tricky I'm not too sure about other exclamations, but I have noticed that there is this cultural thing with the words Goat and Sheep. Mt 25:32,33 tells us that, "All the nation's will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a Shepard separates the sheep from the goats." "And he will put the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left." In society, being a Goat today is being the ultimate awesome person, you know what I mean? And being a sheep... well, it correlates with how society views people they find mindlessly following blind without a thought of their own. (This sounds more like zombies than sheep, but that's just my opinion) But God specifically tells us he will separate goats from sheep. And Jesus loves his flock. Just something to think about. I'm happy I got a chance to talk about that! It's been on my mind for so long :)

The 'G' could also be 'gosh'. If that's what you intended, then it's perfectly fine.

@@markisaki979 NO, it is not perfectly fine! 'Gosh' IS a different word for 'God'. It's what's called a minced oath. It is just as bad, if not worse that using God's name/title, because you are in effect recognizing that you know using 'God' is wrong, so you think you are being cute or being excused for substituting a different word, with the same meaning, and somehow then it's ok. It is in no way, shape, or form ok to use such evil words of Satan to blaspheme the most precious name of God.

@@aaronlee6821 How is it a different name? Did God declare it so in His word? Also with what you're saying, then it's also wrong to use any other English word substituted in place of God? Please brother, do not be a Pharisee. God is not referred to as anything other that what He has outlined in His word. It is out of reverence that you are purposefully not saying 'God' directly. "Oh my (whatever)" is an American expression that came way after the canon of Scripture was closed. If it was being said in Scripture in this way, God would have made it clear that substituting His name for another word would be wrong.

@@markisaki979 Let me be a bit clearer. 'Gosh' is a minced oath which means 'God', but the word was coined to be used by people wishing to take God's name in vain, but not wanting to run afoul of moral/legal regulations, or social norms. The meaning of it is an intentional taking of God's name in vain / blaspheming of God, but whereby the speaker of that word can supposedly 'get away' with it, whereas if he used 'God' instead, he might cause himself problems, depending on the people/culture/etc., where he used it. Back to your comment prior to your latest, you said, "If that's what you intended, then it's perfectly fine." Sorry, but communication is not one-sided. Communication is meant for a speaker to transmit a message to a listener(s). The intention of the speaker and how the listener interprets that message are both important. Let me give you a often used example: If you go into a crowded theater and yell, "fire!", and the people panic and it causes deaths in being stampeded/crushed, you will most likely be found guilty of a serious crime. It matters not one bit that you were just joking and didn't mean anything by your word. What matters is that the audience took your word to mean something, and you should have realized that they would take your word to mean it. The same here. If you say "gosh", that to me, and many Christians is taking God's name in vain. So, regardless of what your intention is, if you realize that to many Christians it is taking God's name in vain, you are, in fact, attempting to communicate that thought to us, regardless of your heart. You are every bit as guilty of blaspheming God, regardless of what the intention of your heart was. Back to your most recent comment. Do you not know of the teachings of Jesus? Such as to look at a woman with lust is to commit adultery in your heart. Or to hate your brother is the same as murder. The Pharisees were only concerned with the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law. But Jesus taught that the spirit of the law was what is important, not the letter of the law. The same here. You say that by the letter of the law, 'gosh' is not taking God's name in vain. While strictly speaking, 'gosh' is not God's name, by the spirit of the law you are every bit as guilty of taking God's name in vain as someone who does so with the actual real name of God. Thus, your claim that 'gosh' is not breaking the law is exactly what the Pharisees did. They obeyed the letter of the law, but without any love in their heart whatsoever. As to your comment, "God would have made it clear that substituting His name for another word would be wrong.", how could God possibly state with complete precision all things that would be considered a sin, and all things that are not? It is impossible to do that. The Catholic Church has tried, and failed miserably. The entirety of God's commandments was summed up by Jesus Christ in Mark 21:30-31, "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these." Taking God's name/title/reference to Him in vain, is breaking both parts of what Jesus commanded us to do. It is not loving God, by disrespecting Him, and it is not loving your neighbor, by disrespecting the God they love in front of them.

So, because "God" and "Lord" are not His name, it's ok to use those words that are His title or that refer to Him in vain? It matters absolutely nothing that those words are not His actual name, because we all know who it is that they refer to when people use them. If you refer to "The President of the United States", it is obvious who you are referring to. The title does refer to the person. If you use the President's title and threaten the life of that title, you will be charged with a serious crime, just exactly the same as if you said the same words but used his name instead. You will in no way be innocent. Likewise, nobody will be held innocent for attempting to associate empty words or profane words with God, whether using directly His name, His title, or any word that refers to Him. The whole concept is that God is sacred, holy, and to be respected/loved above all, not merely His name.
