1 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | justme | 112365 | ||
Rowdy: Thank you for suck a kind response. Often it is easier to say the Scriptures say thuss and so, than o actually dig and find the passage. I know because I am guilty of this often myself. Psalm 148:13 and 14 sum it up very well. That the entire universe is summoned to praise the LORD Almighty. We are sure that the LORD told Moses He was "I AM". Jesus refered to the LORD as "Holy Father". I am concerned when I hear it said "God is my friend or close buddy". That to me is way out of line any not in accord with Scripture. There suould be a deep desire to show not only respect but a Holy awareness that we are addressing the Higest of any thing we will ever have the privledge to address. I have always wanted to just see a President of the united States. I would consider that to be a real exciting moment. I would especially like to see President Jimmy Carter. I respect his office, but even more his Christian efforts after leaving the office. As a retired Navy person I can relate to your experience as a retired Military person. Which I say thank you for serving our country. Perhaps you can relate to me wanting to see a President/ If I would feel so privledged to see President Carter, how much more to address our Holy Father! That Rodwy is where I am coming from. Thank you for allowing me to dialogue with you on this very important issue. Blessings brother Rowdy. justme |

I have to agree with the overall gist of your statement. We absolutely MUST approach God, our Father with the utmost in respect and reverence but I also believe there's nothing with developing a very close and personal relationship with Him. I agree with you. When I hear about people praying to God, in public and addressing Him as "Buddy" I cringe in horror. Basically, my post was motivated from the perspective of being able to refer to God with virtually any legitimate name in any language on earth that means the same thing. I'm hoping that there is a similar Noun or Pronoun meaning the same as God in all those languages. God bless you and thanks for your post. |
