2.God’s commandment

2. God’s commandments
Dear brothers and sisters!
Do you know the town of Pavol Bielik? I assume you are now answering in my mind the question: The corrupt one Mayor of  Ratsha. Maybe with an ironic addition: Thief as well as other politicians. He was sentenced by a special court to 5 Years of bass … I do not know if you have noticed in the media that he was fully released from under indictment by the Supreme Court, as the evidence presented did not imply his guilt and one witness.
The statement is a statement against a statement. You may say resignedly: the judges were also bribed or out of it Attorney cut out … Law enforcement is minimal in our country … On the other hand, the fact that most of this we have cases from the media. If we are critical of each other, we have to admit that we have only the media about the reality of bribery. And the media is not always about the truth, but about the cause, the curiosity, the piquancy … where the truth adapts, not It reveals. Against the background of this picture, Bielik’s innocence today is hardly believed … Some media could be said to have killed his good name because they were pushing the public that suspicion as guilt, indictment as judgment, as a certainty … This damaged name or reputation can hardly be corrected …
2. God’s commandment: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain! For the Lord will not leave him without punishment
His name in vain. ”(Ex 20: 7) God clearly states that He does not want His name to be taken lightly in the mouth, was disgraced. He cares about his name. Why does God protect him so much? What is a “name”? We understand it in two ways:
1. A name is something that “creates the possibility of addressing, calling” indicates the wearer, his identity. Name is
“Addressable Me” The name thus makes it possible to establish a relationship. God, by revealing his name to us, “enters relationship with us and allows us to enter into relationship with him. However, this means that in some way is embarking on our human world. He became reachable and thus vulnerable. It takes the risk relationship with us. ”(Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth I, p. 160)
2. A name as a reputation, that is, some of my media identity, a second identity, indicates how I perceive myself. Reputation = the rumor, “what is spoken of me writes.” Whether I want it or not, for people I am just like me  perceive. I exist for them as a photo. Based on this perception, they form a relationship with me. This perception does not really change the true identity of man, that is, what it really is, but determines our relationship to him. Reputation is often distorted. It conceals the truth, but not in pure form. That’s why God keeps watch your name, your reputation! He does not want us to be caught in a false image of him, a false one reputation. Because it is our cartoon of God that is in us that keeps us wrong that God, in fact, is
is how we think, and it causes our infidelity, indifference, distrust, distance … It makes us practically unbelievers ….
So if he commands us to deal with his name with great respect, it means to create the right opinion that frees us from wrong access to it. Since God is supremely good, has the right to a holy reputation. Therefore, curse in the name of God, wage unjust wars, commit terrorism, do forbidden things, to swear in the name of God, to limit the freedom and rights of man, God and his symbols to use on so-called. National policy against someone, justifying harsh parental approaches in raising children (Lord God will punish you …) or justify unsettled sexual relationships by the fact that God’s love always wishes for love is gross abuse of God’s name, tarnishing his honor.
Following the example of God, we too should protect our good name. For we are evil offended by the bad name. According to st. Francis
Sales is a good name as a signboard, which denotes the house where the virtue dwells. (Filotea VII) The Root of Good the name is the truth of good life. Virtue is like a scent that will break through. Therefore, if we are private individuals, we do not have to completely anxiously protect their reputation. However, if we have public offices, posts, offices, if we are public officials, for the sake of authority, we have a duty to defend our name. For many arise and fall with us. “Therefore, nobody in anything we give no offense that this ministry be without shame ”(2 Cor. 6: 3) says St. Paul.
