In the last couple of months there has been a very disturbing trend that has spread across social media through most of the Nigerian internet comedians.
This trend is the use of the Lord's names name in vain. If you are a very attentive person you will notice the voice they include in their videos screaming 'Jesus' all in a bid to make the video funnier.
How ignorant can people pretend to be when the know the consequences (that those who do this will die) of their actions but still go ahead to do this without fear.
This comedians will feel hurt emotionally if a friend makes fun of their surname(fathers name) in anyway and would never tolerate anyone making jest of their precious mother's name but they boldly use the name of the Lord who has given them breath as a thing of comedy all in a bit to make money.
Another thing to note is that even the Muslims or any other religion will never try this but those who profess to be Christians, go to church on Sundays and have pastors who even pray for them without reprimanding them go ahead to commit this sin boldly.
Well, I am here to remind you and not to judge you because you have already been judged by your words and you know the consequences of your spoken words and it's either you repent from this or be prepared for whatever comes as a result. Shalom.

Who told u they are using in vain?who are u to judge the utterances of people u hardly know?why not leave judgement to God,oga preacher?

Oga, who told you he was judging. He was simply highlighting the issue of using the Lord's name in vain even if it was for a joke.

The issue of always jumping to 'judge no one because one is not God' is hugely misinterpreted to mean no one has the right to condemn the other person's actions even when they are wrong.

What the gentleman above said is that there should be some sort of respect to the name like Muslims will say SAW whenever they mention any prophet

It would be fair if you actually read what was written there to understand and not just to reply. Telling someone he has done or doing wrong is not judging them. The attitude of always referring to reprimand as judgments is why our society keeps getting farther away from God, and to correct you if you care to listen
1st Corinthians 2:15.
The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.
John 7:24
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment

I am a believer, and the bible is the reference for all things. The name of the Lord is truly a strong tower.the last time I check Jesus is a name,like a very common name. There is a footballer with the name jesus. It matters which name they are calling. You can't come and call the name of the Lord just like that. There are many factors that makes it the name you are calling.

Ok o let's use the bible since you have started.


The name of the Lord by the angel is Emmanuel..
There is Jesus and there is Jesus the christ. A name that has been made to be a strong tower can never be used any how, there is a Gabriel Jesus,there is a Jesus navas.


Let us be very sincere with ourselves. Only God can judge, if the Lord makes a name to be a strong tower, then there is a system used to access it.

Sorry I'm just responding to this now, it's been a very busy day at work.

Back to the topic... Are you saying that the commandment 'thou shalt not use the name of the Lord your God in vain' was referencing to a name that's 'accessed through a system'? I'm confused here!

Your contribution in there being other people with the name Jesus is very true to some people but they are very few. But I can assure you that in this case when one decides that God's command is not clear enough for him/her then his/her conscience will do the job he's trying to escape from. 100% of Nigerian Christians who use the name of Jesus in vain knows deep in their conscience that the Jesus they called is Jesus the Christ and they can only try to convince themselves otherwise. Remember God searches the heart and even our thoughts are like words to Him.
