Question 113. What are the sins forbidden in the third commandment?

A. The sins forbidden in the third commandment are, the not using of God's name as it is commanded; the ignorant, vain, irreverent, blasphemous, superstitious, or wicked mentioning of it; the profaning of his titles, attributes, ordinances, or works; the misusing of his name by perjury; and all sinful cursings, oaths, vows, and lots; the breaking of our oaths and vows when lawful, and the keeping of them when unlawful; the murmuring and quarrelling about his decrees and providences, and the curious prying into and misusing them; the misinterpreting, misapplying, or in any way perverting the word, or any part of it, in profane jests, curious and unprofitable questions, vain quarrellings, or the support of false doctrines. Also, abusing the name of God to any creature, or to any thing that is included under the name of God, in witchcraft, or in any sinful lust or practice; blaspheming, despising, reviling, or in any way resisting the truth, grace, and ways of God; making a profession of faith for hypocrisy and wicked purposes; and dishonoring or betraying the name of God by any unwise, unfruitful, or harmful practice.

 

Sin is not believing the words of Jesus Christ. This is not a word spoken to those who do not come into Jesus Christ, but to those who say they believe in Jesus but do not believe the words of Jesus.

John 16:8-11 "And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not in me; of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."

Jesus received the authority to forgive sins and the authority to judge from the Father. Therefore, He forgives all sins to those who repent and come into Christ. Those who come into Christ died with Jesus on the cross, so the saints have already been judged by God and have received resurrection life. When the Holy Spirit comes, He will testify. This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Not believing this is a sin. That sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

Commentary on Christian Doctrine (Westminster Confession of Faith Larger Catechism)

  Commentary on Christian Doctrine (Westminster Confession of Faith Larger Catechism)   There are many denominations in Christianity, and each denomination has its own doctrines, and there are parts that are interpreted and defined differently. The reason why they set their own doctrines and make themselves exclusive denominations is that Christianity has become a religion. This is because they focus on how Christianity is different from other religions. However, Christianity is not a religion, but life itself toward God. People simply left God and created their own religion. This is what happened because the Christian community tried to differentiate itself from other religions. Originally, Christianity had no doctrine, but if there were to be a doctrine, it would only have two words: the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and the resurrection. In addition, if necessary, it would be helpful to have a commentary that interprets the meaning of the Bible for important pa...

Question 99. What rules must we observe in order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly?

  Question 99. What rules must we observe in order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly? Answer. In order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly, the following rules must be observed: 1. The law is perfect, and requires that every one follow its righteousness fully and for ever, and that he should thoroughly and completely fulfill all his duties, and forbid any sin, even the least. 2. The law is spiritual, and covers not only words, actions, and manners, but also the understanding, will, affections, and all other parts of the soul. 3. The same things in various respects are commanded or forbidden in several commandments. 4. Where a duty is commanded, the opposite sin is also forbidden, and where a sin is forbidden, the opposite duty is commanded, and where a promise is added, the opposite threatening is included, and where a threatening is added, the opposite promise is included. 5. What God forbids is not always to be done, but what he commands is always ou...

Question 3. What is the Word of God?

  Question 3. What is the Word of God? Answer. The Old and New Testaments are the Word of God and the only rule of faith and practice. According to the law of faith, the word of God can be found in the two main branches of the law and the gospel. The law can be said to be a commandment of action, “ Do or do not do, ” but the word of the law is a word that makes people realize that they are beings who cannot completely keep God ’ s commandments and to find Christ, and the gospel is that Christ has come, and if you enter into Christ, you will be saved. Therefore, the word of God can be said to be the law of faith that leads to salvation. However, if we look at it based on the only law of works, the law can be transformed into legalism. Because legalism emphasizes works, the gospel can be separate from works. If you enter into the faith of Jesus Christ, you will be saved, but it attaches a condition that works must follow. Attaching this condition is legalism. James 2:14-17 W...
