[Teachldsseminary] QUES: Section 63

[Debbie]

I hope this doesn't appear as sounding stupid, but........

As I prepared to teach Section 63, it referred me to the student manual 
324-325.  It referenced James E. Talmage for Section 63:61-64.  It 
talked about other ways we take the Lord's name in vain other than 
profanity.  I wanted to discuss this with my girls and give a few 
examples, but when it came to reasons 3 & 4, I was stumped.  I didn't 
want to appear like I didn't know what I was talking about so I asked my 
family to help me out.  They weren't sure either.  Has anyone taught 
this yet and used this reference?  I'll quote what is written just in 
case you don't have the reference immediately available.  Any help with 
examples for numbers 3 and 4 would be great.

Thanks,
Debbie

*D & C 63:61-64, "Let All Men Beware How They Take My Name in Their Lips"

To take the name of the Lord in vain is often thought of only as 
profanity.  Elder James E. Talmage offered a broader definition:

"1.  We may take the name of God in vain by profane speech.
 2.  We take it in vain when we swear falsely, not being true to our 
oaths and promises.
 3.  We take it in vain in a blasphemous sense when we presume to speak 
in that name without authority.
 4.  And we take his name in vain whenever we wilfully do aught that is 
in defiance of his commandments, since we have taken his name upon 
ourselves."
