This, at best, is a mischaracterization of me and this discussion.
Word games? hardly. I refer you to this:

You are also failing to recognize the difference in calendars, etc.
Insertion of saturday, sunday, etc. Is not a translation from the original texts, it is an addition by men, men with an agenda.
If rendering the text so that it is more easily understood by the modern man with none or little biblical/historical knowledge is an agenda, so be it. |
This is the crux of the issue. Rauoool, on many posts, speaks out against what he feels are the misdeeds, false doctrines, etc. of New Testament Christians, he claims our beliefs are based on flawed, uninspired writings of MEN. Then in the next breath he is promoting the use of the addition of man's idea to support and develop doctrine which is not true to scripture and the commandments of God. (Sorry, I let out the '*' or the '_' when spelling GOD cause it isn't His real name anyway).
Rauooool seems to be playing both sides of the fence, posting whatever convoluted distortion of the facts which best support his flawed views.

The Jewish practice of not using G-d's name or title. |
If I'm not mistaken, the reason some Jews omit the "o" when writing "God" has to do with His name rather than with His title (e.g., Isa. 48:1). Jews today, not wishing to misuse God's name, choose not to use it at all and instead use titles such as Adonai and HaShem. Today Jews who follow this practice claim that it is a way of honoring God, although I have found no biblical instruction to support this practice or their reasoning for doing it.
So, if you have no objection to satisfying my curiosity, what's your reason for doing it? Thanks.

Well, the word god is not a name of G-d, but rather just a title for Him. The real purpose is so that someone does not print out the text and take it some place that is profane. Not that anyone would ever print one of my post.

It is mainly just the custom. |
