I’m not understanding this, so if someone can explain it that would be great.
It’s a short clip, yes it’s The View.
They were discussing a British story about how certain commandments might be obsolete (to their credit they were not so open to this idea.)
But why in the world was this, in effect, bleeped?
ht/ annie
“This was a poll of British Christians!”
All twenty of them?
I reckon they censored “Jesus” to meet British Government broadcasting requirements. Jesus Campos, what is this world coming to?
Why the perplexity? The name of JESUS has been a profanity to many humans for ages.
Sadly, I take it that more are offended by the name Jesus than by Mohammed.
Everything uttered by Whoopi Blacksnatch should be bleeped.
So now it’s 8 words you can’t say on television
Don’t forget to add Hillary
Yo! I take it as sharia creep – you don’t say “mohammed” so they’ve added Jesus to the “don’t say list” because he’s viewe as a prophet to the camel and goat jockeys as well.
But I say, “Nothing is so sweet but the name of…”

Jesus The Christ? Jesus the Lord?
so they bleeped “the”
No explanation except for not wanting their heads cut off.
Sorry, can’t read most of this! Still laughing about some commandments being obsolete! That’s a howler!
Two scenarios ; actually three, it could the combination of #1 & #2
#1 – a sign of disrespect therefore pleeped, Taking the name of Jesus in Vain, For Christ’s sake !, Jesus Christ ! (Exclamation, Not in a praise worthy voice or inflection)
Deuteronomy 5:11
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.
——OR——
#2 – satan has blinded the lost;
God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are not to be spoken by the blinded.
2 Corinthians
3 should But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world (satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,shine unto them.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
The Devil avoids the name
of Jesus,as do his minions.
They are right in the “bleeping”
open about it too.
Like these whores follow the 10 commandments. The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Saying “jesus Christ” when someone does something stupid makes sense. It’s like invoking a short prayer.
What gets glossed over, and is sometimes considered “nice” and holy is actually taking the Lord’s name in vain – like when some idiot gets a hit in baseball and standing on 1st base he kisses his fingers and points at the heavens. Or kisses a crucifix.
Really?
You think God has a rooting interest in this game you are playing?
If you’re thanking him for getting a hit, I’ll bet you are praying to him to get a hit.
That IS TAKING THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN.
Fur: I think you have it exactly ass-backwards.
Let me expand a bit. If you use the name of Jesus as an expletive, or swear word, that is using His name in vain, it is not “a prayer”. An athlete who points to heaven after a touchdown or scoring a hit, is honoring God or thanking Him for his God-given talent.
They can hide His name and attempt to remove His references but then there is … winning!
Luke 19:38-40
38 BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”
40 But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”
My Grandma was really nailed down about this subject. As kids, she would fuss at us if we even said words like “gee”, or “gosh”, or “darn”, because she knew that those were just substitutes for swear words or words that actually took the Lord’s name in vain.
She never owned a TV, but if she were living today, just one prime-time show would probably give her a heart attack.
Blaspheming Jesus can be forgiven, but not blaspheming the Holy Spirit
Jesus!
