Comment on Judaizers – The Law vs. Grace by Matthew Zowada

Matthew Zowada — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 00:45:35 +0000

Love you thoughts on how grace applies to our lives. Usually people think that walking by the Spirit means walking without temptation. The Spirit filled life is not a life without temptation, but a life of victory in the midst of temptation.

Thanks for your thoughts.

The Westboro extremeists forget the fact that God dislikes any who spread error & false teachings. To win people we use only Agape love, that’s our God’s nature. It’s not God but the devil who sends death + tragedy to sinners. Maybe God allows the devil to send it to judge all sins done in our nation. I do hate the revolting sins done by homo’s & those who hurt children. But I won’t provoke people to outrage by blamng God for the results of sins not forsaken.

Comment on Christianese Dictionary by A.L. Howard

The answer is right here in the text you sent.
This usage follows the Jewish practice of substituting the spoken Hebrew word ‘Adonai’ (translated as ‘Lord’) for YHWH when read aloud.[2]

The Jewish people are very reverent and cautious about the Lord’s name. They do not even write the word, “God” They spell it “G-d” for fear of mistyping it.

“Lord” has many meanings like any word in the English language. When it is spelled out in ALL CAPS in the Bible, you can be sure it means Yahweh.

Hi again Modern Christian Issues,

I found this reference to The LORD in wikipedia

“People have often used the term ‘lord’ in religious contexts, where, The Lord refers to God in Judaism or Islam, or to Lord Buddha in Buddhism, or to God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit in Christianity. In the Anglican Church there are also Lord Bishops. In many Christian Bibles (such as the King James Version), the Hebrew name YHWH (the Tetragrammaton) is rendered LORD (all caps) or LORD (small caps). This usage follows the Jewish practice of substituting the spoken Hebrew word ‘Adonai’ (translated as ‘Lord’) for YHWH when read aloud.[2] Following practice in Hebrew, the Septuagint mainly used the Greek word Kyrios (Greek: ??????, meaning ‘lord’) to translate YHWH. As this was the Old Testament of the Early Church, the Christian practice of translating the divine name as ‘Lord’ derives directly from it.”

Am I correct it understanding that:
The LORD is like a title for God of the Bible, like it is for Allah and Buddha
But God’s proper name in the Old Testament is Jehovah/Yahweh/JHWH etc
And God’s name in the New testament is Jesus Christ and he is also the LORD
And the reason why God’s name is not in my bible tons of times is because we as Christians follow
the Jewish practice of substituting God’s name for something else(Addoni/LORD)

All of this does not seem right, or is it?
I didn’t want to load all of this on you, if you can help me find the answers I would appreciate it.
If you are not able assist me, can you suggest where I can look

Regards

Alex

Yahweh (or Jehovah or Yehovah) is translated The LORD (All uppercase) in all but nine places in the KJV

Out of reverence, I am sure.
