Did some research because of your comment, found some very interesting info. Thank you for posting.

It seems there are many references to God, the Father, and what his worshippers call Him. But as you said “I Am” is what he told Moses. So for us, references will have to do. And in that view I still feel if someone is using even a reference of the Lord’s name in vain, it still counts as so. But as some have already mentioned, it’s not the only way to place the Lords name in vain, actions do as well.

Very good info out there. Thank you. 👍
