Oh, Man!

If you were exclaiming, “Oh, Man of Holiness!” or “Oh, Man of Counsel!” then I’d have a problem. By saying, “Oh, man!” it seems to me you’re identifying a different subject.
Moses 6:57
“Man of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the Son of Man”
My understanding was it’s only ‘in vain’ if He’s not going to help me.
This, I take it, is wrong.
;)
Don’t forget to add golly gee whiz to that list too.
that’s it!!! I am now officially taping my mouth shut with Tuct Tape.. I guess that means Holy Crap is out too????
Sally, stick with ‘Oh my heck!’
I think that one’s still safe.
If one wanted to take the whole son/man concept even further, one could claim “Oh, brother!” and “Oh, boy!” fall under this commandment as well.
Crap doesn’t appear to be a minced oath (profanity warning).
So are you saying “Oh, man!” is a minced oath? Is there historical support?
No, I am not.
that’s really funny. thanks!
I have read that saying “Oh, man” is actually calling on all of mankind as a witness to what you are referring to and not an appeal to God.
