Does Jesus take his own name in vain when he is upset?

nope - Jesus has never and will never commit Sin

I'll take a stab at this one - \n\nI think it may be because of the incredible power and glory the name of Jesus has!\n\nThe Bible says that "...at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phillipians 2:9-11)\n\nBecause that day has not yet come, our Enemy is doing all he can to stain the name he fears, and influences people to misuse the name of Jesus at every opportunity.

God is jealous in the sense of what His name means. That He is a God that requires our undivided love, devotion, attention and worship in spirit and in truth. He so requires this because this is the way He feels about us and adores us so by sending us His one and only beloved beautiful son Jesus Christ to take our place of death on the cross. Because God gave us His all, He demands the same from us which I believe is a fair request, don't you?

Well first of all it is not a sin to get angry. Now it is a sin if you let anger control your life and rule over you. So when Jesus told the people in the temple and temple courts to get out of his fathers house it was a sign of an emotion he had. But that anger was only for there sin of using God temple to trade and sell food there. Jesus showed a few emotions according to scripture.\n\nNo offense to the first guy but jesus was not a sinner. You need to read your bible..

Sure, Jesus was a prophet and we don't know what he looked like but there are lots 'pictures' of him around and people have played Jesus in movies. I don't think God gets upset about that if you have respect in your heart. I wouldn't want to adhere to a religion where you would be punished or executed for drawing a "likeness" of a prophet.

The primary question, as written, demands an answer of "nothing." There is a considerable amount of written text attributed to Jesus' followers, though perhaps to no one who actually knew him. But I've yet to run across anything that claims Jesus' own authorship.

Jesus DID say "whatever you ask for in my name, you will be given" and nowhere in the Bible did anyone ever speak (pray) to someone who was dead, Saint or otherwise. Jesus is not dead so we are as free to speak to Him as when He walked the earth... Mary and the Apostles all died, none rose from the dead so we cannot speak to them. Prayer is a form of worship and is restricted to God/Jesus

Yes, Jesus Himself stated it was those that acted, and followed the heeding of the Spirit, not those who knew his physical name, but His Spiritual name, the Name of meaning and purpose.\n\nBe confident, God is Just. People are the abusers not God, but forgive as God does, Love as God does. \n\nEven St. Paul said knowledge puffs up, but love edifies, so love and you'll be wise, patient and all the other great things. Have knowledge only and "...pride comes before a fall.".

There will always be people who claim they are doing something in the name of God.  They are not thinking whether or not this is something Jesus would do.  I am sure this is something Jesus would not do.  These people are turning people away from Christ and are giving Christians a bad name.  It angers me to see something like that.  They will have their day when they have to give God an explanation for their actions.

I asked a similar question a few weeks ago.\nI think that the answer is that they've forgotten that being a Christian means to be Christ-like.  The only people Jesus ever got angry with were the moneychangers who were in the temple.  (Look out all ye preachers who get rich off of your parishioners...televangelists better take cover...)\nWhat I learned (in Catholic school, believe it or not) is that we are not to hit people in the head with our religion, but to live a good and happy life, b ased on the teachings of Jesus, and just show people by example how great it is to be a Christian.  \nJesus never said to get angry with those who  disagree with you, or with whom you disagree; He said, "Love your neighbor  as yourself".\n\nRight on, Rainchaser77!!!!

Not necessarily.  I know of some Christians who are persecuted because they are jerks.  Then, when they complain, they use "it's because I'm a Christian" as their defense.

Bashing the Christian religion is not the same as bashing Jesus.\n\nJesus made it pretty clear how He felt about corrupt and self-serving religions when he trashed the money-changers.\n\nUnfortunately the various Christian churches that have evolved since then are more closely modelled on those money-changers than on the Man/God who cast them out...

The sad thing is that many people are just as the words above describe them.\n\nJesus loves all people and thankfully judges our hearts, but on behalf of the children of the Living God, Jesus Christ, I apologise for those who give our Lord a bad name and represent Him falsely.  \n\nJesus is amazing and being His child is awesome.  Some people who claim to be His children, do not really know Him.  Please remember that.\n\nBlessings upon you.

Jesus was an OK guy.  He believed that we should love one another.  It's the Christians that are really annoying.  Too often they think they have all the answers and it usually goes, "Jesus is the answer!" But what is the question?  Furthermore, when there is no doubt, there is no need for further inquiry, brain atrophies and emotions elicit violent anger when "true beliefs" are confronted by empirical evidence.  Intolerant certainty leads to arrogance, haughtiness, condescension, and self-righteousness.  I do not want to spend eternity with brain dead Christ fans.

The bible even foretells that Jesus true disciples will be ridiculed and persecuted, so don't be surprised.\nOne more thing, you should try out spell check, it works wonders.

I had to break the habit of saying, "Jesus Christ" when I got angry.  I broke the habit by making myself aware each time I said it and, as the previous person stated, replaced it with the word "damn" to myself or under my breath.  It worked for me.\n\nBottom line is that a habit can become an instantaneous response without you're even realizing it is happening.  Become aware of the unwanted behavior each time it occurs which is half the battle.
