accounts, and you should get rid of them also. Why?
I’m not getting rid of my Yahoo!
e-mail accounts because of Yahoo’s leftist political bias, although it is irritating to see
it when I go to yahoo.com to log in.
Google may be politically biased also, but I’m not subjected to it when I go to
log in.

I’m not getting rid of them
because my Yahoo! e-mail accounts have been repeatedly hacked, while my Gmail has never been
hacked.

I’m not getting rid of them
because their spam filter is worse than Gmail, so that I get vast amounts of
spam–some of it filthy–while I don’t have this problem with my Gmail
accounts.

While all of the above are
problems, and they would justify people leaving Yahoo! Mail, I wouldn’t take
the time to write a post on them, and I wouldn’t say that if you reverence God
the Creator-Jehovah, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit-you need to
get rid of Yahoo! Mail.

So why am I eliminating Yahoo!
Mail? Why have I told people in my contact list to not
e-mail me at Yahoo! in the future, but to use my Gmail address? Why am I
moving electronic notifications from the bank, etc. to Gmail and out of Yahoo?

It is because Yahoo is boldly and
unashamedly forcing you to see the holy Name of God taken in vain every time
you go to their homepage to check your e-mail.

Let’s review the 3rd commandment:
Thou shalt not
take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Exodus 20:7)
take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Exodus 20:7)
Yahoo! now has, on the right side
of its homepage, an icon that has the letters “o,” then
“m,” and then “g,” the modern acronym for the common way
that the wicked seek to profane God’s Name today, saying “Oh my”
and “God” when they do not have the slightest thought of Him, of
praying to Him, of reverence for Him, of fear of Him, of love to Him, or
anything else whatever to do with Him. Such wicked speech is a plain,
blatent violation of the third commandment. This abbreviation is a
plain, blatent violation of the third commandment.

I noticed this blasphemy
emblazoned on the Yahoo! homepage a few days ago–the very same day that a
headline news article on yahoo.com flashed on
the screen, with the statement “oh my g–“–and, no, God doesn’t even
get a capital “G” when Yahoo wishes to blaspheme Him–right in the
center of the webpage. So not only must you rest your eyes on God’s holy
Name being blasphemed every time you go to yahoo.com
to log in to your e-mail, but you should expect to see news stories right in
the middle of your screen with blasphemy in the headline.

What does God think of His name
being blasphemed? Consider Leviticus 24:10-16:

And the son of an Israelitish
woman, whose father was an Egyptian,
went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; And
the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and
his mother’s name was Shelomith,
the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) And they put him in ward, that the
mind of the LORD might be shewed them. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the
congregation stone him. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. And he that blasphemeth
the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as
well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name
of the LORD, shall be put to
death.

He established in His OT
theocracy that violating the third commandment was a capital crime. God
can’t stand it when His name is blasphemed. We aren’t in a theocracy
today, but God still can’t stand it when His name is blasphemed. No,
“the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”

What was the attitude of the godly
in Scripture if they heard someone else blaspheme God? They would rend or
tear their clothes as an expression of great sorrow and horror (2 Kings 18:37;
19:1; cf. 2 Kings 18:28-35; 19:3, 6). So what should your attitude be
about this crass defiance of God on the Yahoo! homepage? You should be
horrified. You should hate it. You should be outraged. You
should be unable to stand it. You should tell your Redeemer, the Holy One
of Israel, that you do not in the least agree with this abominable wickedness
displayed boldly on their homepage. No, your attitude is “HALLOWED
BE THY NAME,” not “let thy name be blasphemed”!

The third commandment comes
before the sixth and the seventh commandment, folks. Would you keep your
Yahoo! Mail if, whenever you went to yahoo.com,
you were subjected to a violent video clip where someone was murdered in a
grisly way? Would you keep your Yahoo! Mail if, whenever you went to yahoo.com, you were subjected to graphic pictures
of people committing adultery? No? Then you should get rid of your Yahoo!
account because, every time you go to their website to log in, you are
subjected to God’s holy Name being blasphemed. Don’t try to minimize this
sin. Don’t try to explain it away. Don’t rationalize it.
Don’t keep using Yahoo, so that you get used to seeing blasphemy and so that
you become desensitized to it. It is wickedness. It is
unholy. It is vile. It is Satanic. God hates blasphemy the
way He hates murder and adultery. So should you. So, get rid of
Yahoo Mail, and get something else. Encourage your web filter–I use Hedgebuilders–to block out Yahoo the way they block out pornographic, violent,
and other immoral sites. I know that on any secular search engine one can
search for evil things and find them–but here you have to see the evil without
searching for anything. Contact Yahoo here and tell them why you’re
leaving. (Make sure, when you do let them know, that you write
considering the Biblical principles discussed here.) Tell others about this blog
post and get them to drop Yahoo! also. If enough people drop them,
perhaps they will change. Do you think Yahoo! is going to put a picture
of Mohammed on its front page? No, because they would get a big reaction
from the Muslims–riots, perhaps a lot of people dead. Since Christians know they are to love their neighbors
as themselves, do good, and act kindly toward the wicked, Yahoo is not afraid
of them–and the company does not fear God, so they don’t care about
blaspheming Him and violating the third commandment. However, at least we
can affect their profit margin–they care about that.

Remember the words of king David
in Psalm 101:2-3:
in Psalm 101:2-3:
I will behave myself wisely in a
perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a
perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of
them that turn aside; it shall not
cleave to me.
perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a
perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of
them that turn aside; it shall not
cleave to me.
Walk within your house with a
perfect heart–including when you check your e-mail. Set no wicked thing
before your eyes–like you do if you go to the Yahoo! homepage. Rather,
hate the work of them that turn aside, and do not let it cleave to you.
Reject and abandon Yahoo! unless it repents and removes the blasphemy from its
homepage–and let them know why you are doing it.

Let us say that someone who knows
computers well can work with his cookies and saved pages to avoid the Yahoo!
homepage to log in to e-mail on his home computer. Even so, is it realistic to say that you will never visit the
Yahoo! homepage? What about when
you check your e-mail from another computer? The fact is that if you keep Yahoo! mail, you are certain to
be confronted with blasphemy, blasphemy you could have avoided if you used a
different e-mail program–and thus, blasphemy seen voluntarily.

Perhaps what I have written in
this post seems extreme–perhaps you really don’t care if people say “Oh
my” and “God” when they aren’t praying or thinking about giving
Him reverence. Perhaps you regularly blaspheme Jehovah’s Name
yourself. If so, you ought to examine yourself. You are either a
very backslidden, worldly, carnal, and weak Christian, or you are yet
unregenerate and need to be born again. Find out here how you can receive eternal life and a new and holy nature that loves God and reverences His holy name.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. . . . And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. (Revelation 4:8-11; 5:11-14)

Get rid of your Internet connection all together, if you don't want to keep having to dance around switching from one account to another. These companies never claimed to be Christian, and Google is at the top of that list.
Anonymous,
It's good that you stayed anonymous, because your "argument" (it's not even an argument) is ridiculous. If you don't want to deal with the world then go live away from civilization or a deserted island. There is something in between being a hermit and going everywhere and joining everything that God wants us to do, and he lays it out in the Bible.
By the way, tone police people, that like to criticize tone. Where are you?
The e-mail and phone # at the bottom are better than the link
You can leave a message at the phone #.
After reading this, I looked all over my Yahoo home page and yahoo mail page and did not see this. I agree that it is bad. But I'm wondering if it is on all pages? Or if it is on some, or on at some times and not at others? I tend to never look at the ads and other stuff on the margins, so maybe it's been there, and I just never noticed.
Thomas brother you can always have your yahoo mail forwarded to your Gmail account…
Instructions are fairly easy to come by..
Have any questions I'd be glad to help.

"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Exodus 20:7)"
Brother Kent,
Though I believe your intentions are in line with other biblical principles, using this verse against the world is really not using it in its correct context.
First, this verse was written to the nation of Israel who was to represent the Lord God to the world. Secondly, it is they who "took the name of the Lord" when thy promised the Lord God through Moses that they will do all that the Lord God hath spoken (Exodus 19:8, 24:7, Deuteronomy 27, etc.).
So, taking his name in vain, as applied in type today would be one who called himself a Christian, but is not a Christian in doctrine or life and therefore "took the name of the Lord God in vain", being guilty of "cursing God" through his life, words and actions.
We're to live in the world but be set apart ie behave holy in the midst of all yahoo,Gmail etc. This means you don't send crazy emails nor stir trouble racist comments etc on yahoo but just communicate through it. You are in the world but not of the world. Say you stop yahoo so have you seen the Dollar, the abominable signs on it, so you're not gonna use cash too? Lady just be holy use what is in the world in a good way.
What a tortured existence…running from things that aren't chasing you.
Look up the word "gad" in Strong's Hebrew concordance. Gad was a Syrian or Canaanite deity of good luck or fortune and was pronounced "gawd" … I think you're on to something here, however. I would venture to say that it's the actual word – – – hoo and the exclamation point at the end and not the word derived from the Syrian/Canaanite religion.
