Here’s what I learned as a child and still believe; If you are talking to or about God, then using his name is ok and good and right, however use of his name as a cuss word or exclamation is SIN which MUST be taken up with God personally.

As a young girl when my parents (who divorced when I was seven were still married). all I ever heard from them when they spoke to each other was constant cussing, alot of use of the Lord’s name in vain and telling each where they could go constantly screamed at each other. Having accepted Jesus at age five, I did alot of crying over this and chose to never do this and to hate it.
