A. That we must not by cursing,[1] or by false swearing,[2] nor yet by unnecessary oaths,[3] profane or abuse the name of God; nor even by our silence[4] and connivance be partakers of these horrible sins in others; and in summary, that we use the holy name of God in no other way than with fear and reverence,[5] so that He may be rightly confessed[6] and worshiped[7] by us, and be glorified in all our words and works.[8] _______________ [1] Lev 24:10-17; [2] Lev 19:12; [3] Mt 5:37; Jas 5:12; [4] Lev 5:1; Prov 29:24; [5] Ps 99:1-5; Isa 45:23; Jer 4:2; [6] Mt 10:32-33; Rom 10:9-10; [7] Ps 50:14-15; 1 Tim 2:8; [8] Rom 2:24; Col 3:16-17; 1 Tim 6:1; 1 Pt 3:15
100. Q. Is the profaning of God’s name, by swearing and cursing, so grievous a sin that His wrath is kindled against those also who do not help as much as they can to hinder and forbid it?
A. Yes, truly,[1] for no sin is greater and more provoking to God than the profaning of His name; wherefore He even commanded it to be punished with death.[2] _______________ [1] Lev 5:1; [2] Lev 19:12, 24:15-16; Prov 29:24-25
