    Conclusion:
    What does it mean to take God's name in vain? To make it useless or worthless. We are to respect and give respect to his name.

    Next time in Part 2:
    Is translating God's name using it in vain according to scripture?

    Is Hebrew the sacred uncorrupted language of God? Is there going to be a NEW language in the future?

    Does just pronouncing God's name, make someone holy? Is it possible to do miracles in the name of God and not really know God?

    Does God only have one name?
    Has God's name ever changed in the past?
    Will God's name change in the future?
