'Carrying' The Lord's Name in Vain?

- Does this commandment have something to do with our Baptismal Covenant?

- The Hebrew word for 'take' is better translated as 'carry' or 'bear'.

- The same Hebrew word can be used for 'forgive'.

- It's all part of a spiritual economy.

 

The following scriptures are all part of a baptismal narrative:

 

Mosiah 18:8- 'BEAR one another's burdens'

Mosiah 26:18- 'who are willing to BEAR my name'

Mosiah 26:31- 'FORGIVE one another your trespasses'
