Your classmate introduced to you a very catchy somg but has a direct mockery of God on the lyrics to make it funnier. With your understanding of the 2nd Commandment, how would you rightfully address the situation?

I will honestly tell my classmate that the song is catchy, but the meaning behind it doesn't seem right. I won't make him/her change his/her taste in music, but I'd suggest to go for songs with better intentions and meaning behind it. It is important to understand the song as well.

Answer:

Knowing the context of God's 2nd Commandment "Thou shall have no other gods before me." and His 3rd Commandment "Thou shall not put My Name in vain.", I would feel concerned and responsible for my friend. It is my duty as someone close to them to educate them about how they might be hurting God's feelings as they play/sing that song. I wouldn't get mad at them of course, I would only tell them that there are things that we need to avoid because we wouldn't want to pain our Father. I could tell them to a clean or edited version, or let them know it's not right to listen to that specific song at all. At the end of the day, I would pray that God may guide my friend to the path of righteousness and holyness.
