What is the definition of taking our Creator’s name in vain?
Shemoth (Exodus) 20:7 You shall not take the shem (name) of YaHuWaH your Elohiym in vain [#7723]; for YaHuWaH will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain [#7723].
The word vain (pronounced sha-oo, not shoo-ah) means the following:
#7723 shav’ shawv or shav{shav}; from the same as 7722 in the sense of desolating; evil (as destructive), literally (ruin) or morally (especially guile); figuratively idolatry (as false, subjective), uselessness (as deceptive, objective; also adverbially, in vain):--false(-ly), lie, lying, vain, vanity.
As you can see, it means to lie about his name, to call his name evil, or to make his name desolate by refusing to pronounce it!
This is the same thing as taking his name in vain!
Those who lie about our Messiah’s name and say that the “shuwa” in Yahuwshuwa means something evil, need to repent!
The word “repent” in Hebrew is “t’shuwa” (teshuva)!
The word “t’shuwa” also means salvation, and deliverance!
The lying pen of the scribes did the same thing with the Prophet Elisha’s name!
The fuller spelling of the name Elisha (Eliyshuwa) is found in two places in Scripture, 2nd Samuel 5:15 & 1st Chronicles 14:5.
The name “Eliyshuwa” (Elisha) means “Elohiym is salvation!”
