"You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain" is retained from the KJV for tradition's sake. But it is not correct. In fact all the people in the Bible said it, and all the writers wrote it, because it was not prohibited until the second-temple period, when Jesus only said it outside of Judea so they wouldn't stone him to death. That's because the correct translation is "you shall not use the name of Yahoweh for falsehood." That is, don't use it for trickery or deceit or scams or false flagging or to justify evil, like the redactors of the Torah and other books did, just as he said about them, "Look, the false pen of scribes makes [Yahoweh's law] into falsehood!". But the world and the archons do not want us to call on that name, because "everyone who calls on the name of Yahoweh will be saved," who redeemed us from the curse of the law of the gods of this world by taking the curse for us, "cursed is everyone who hangs on a pole," so that "the just will live in his faith."

Oh ok, so that means you can ignore all the other parts about God's name being holy that I mentioned. Ok, gotchya. And because God didn't originally give the law before a certain time period then it can be ignored. Ok, gotchya.

And God never said to not use his name in vain? Well. Ok.

You completely ignored what I told you about those false translations. And if it really meant "in vain" as in don't say it at all, why does everyone in the old testament say it all the time? It was in the new testament too, until they removed it because the orthodox Jews were offended.

Because, as we have identified multiple times in this thread, you do not understand basic English words, grammar and prose.

I'm aware that "vain" can refer to falsehood. But it is a broader term than that, and you are using that broader term to justify your argument.

Sure.
