Sorry I ha...Hello Anonymous and thanks for reading! Sorry I haven't been very active checking comments here and need to get back to blogging again....so that is why the late response to your question. I wrote that 4 years ago. I was newly learning things at that point and out of respect for my Jewish brethren, as a courtesy to them (in case they would come across my blog), I decided to leave the "o" out of God. Yes, I realize it isn't a name. And since we really don't know exactly how to pronounce the tetragrammaton of YHVH, (even though I often use Yahweh personally) I want to be sensitive and not let the issue of that be a barrier to draw others, especially my Jewish brethren to come to know Yeshua as Messiah. Salvation is to the Jew first, then the Gentile. I want to be sensitive to this and not do anything to hinder Jews who may find that "o" offensive. Blessings and Shalom to you :)Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578453082676797617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583279336745648938.post-81114090333628719432014-10-30T20:24:47.225-07:002014-10-30T20:24:47.225-07:00Why do you leave the "o" out of god?

To take his name in vein doesn't mean to not speak it; That is told to us by the Pharasies and Jewish legalism. In fact, we are told to not let his name come to not; and to call upon his name. Yes, we are not to throw around the name uselessly, but to proclaim his name and to call to the HIM. If it was so wrong to use his name why is it found written so many time through out the Torah?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583279336745648938.post-34329099747473318732013-12-16T18:22:50.028-08:002013-12-16T18:22:50.028-08:00When it says that it will be like in the days of N...When it says that it will be like in the days of Noah I had not thought about it that way. I always thought about how great the sin was. Not about the persecution that he was enduring from all those around him. "Being radically obedient will bring persecution by others. That is nothing new." Very true!!! I have wondered. If I am not being persecuted by someone am I really being obedient? <br />esthersfaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403176861718693134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583279336745648938.post-27636896924790003192013-12-16T15:02:44.488-08:002013-12-16T15:02:44.488-08:00Well spoken my sister!

I find it disrespectful and slightly irritating when people try to shorten my children's names. They all have a specific meaning , when you take letters off it changes the meaning. Samuel means "asked of G-d", if you take off the "el" what does that speak?<br />Perhaps that's why some people take salvation so lightly, they just don't see the depth, and identity.Joanne's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181367170090788942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583279336745648938.post-88521385584891904352011-03-29T08:18:22.397-07:002011-03-29T08:18:22.397-07:00Oh, I am always adding, deleting things from posts...Oh, I am always adding, deleting things from posts...a work in progress so to speak...and this one just got revised!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578453082676797617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583279336745648938.post-37243106017728504342011-03-29T06:26:06.403-07:002011-03-29T06:26:06.403-07:00Shalom Sigalit and Todah for your kind comments!Shalom Sigalit and Todah for your kind comments!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578453082676797617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583279336745648938.post-74302008950980662642011-03-29T04:39:38.293-07:002011-03-29T04:39:38.293-07:00A very lovely explanation, however imperfect =) To...A very lovely explanation, however imperfect =) Todah, {thank you} for sharing!Sigalit Chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203173562787295381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583279336745648938.post-29803689084303487302011-03-04T15:15:27.206-08:002011-03-04T15:15:27.206-08:00Shalom...a word which has no equivalent.
