God’s name

The Bible warns of this.Leviticus 24:16וְנֹקֵ֤ב שֵׁם־יְהוָה֙ מ֣וֹת יוּמָ֔ת רָג֥וֹם יִרְגְּמוּ־ב֖וֹ כָּל־הָעֵדָ֑ה כַּגֵּר֙ כָּֽאֶזְרָ֔ח בְּנָקְבוֹ־שֵׁ֖ם יוּמָֽת׃if he also pronounces the name LORD, he shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone him; stranger or citizen, if he has thus pronounced the Name, he shall be put to death.The words translated as "blaspheme" in Hebrew are derived from the root "NeKeV" meaning to "say expressly." The LORD does NOT want HIS name used indiscriminately. In fact in our generation HE does not want HIS name used at all!The Holy Name in the Bible is spoken of as something that is sacred and in need of protection against misuse.
