Subject: How important is God's Name? |
Bible Note: Hello, HisImpress, your claim that God has a name that is Hallowed is SOMEWHAT correct. His names (plural), ALL OF THEM, are hallowed. You stated that “God” isn’t a name, it’s a title. That’s true, but, just like all of us, people refer to us with various titles, Father, Dad, Daddy, Grampy, Honey, son, brother, cousin, T’oma, Mister, hey you, etc. Each of these “titles” will get the same response - my undivided attention. And, when I am in a foreign country, my name changes accordingly. If they call me Senor, I respond. It matters not that T'oma is Hebrew. God’s names include but are not limited to El, Elyohim, Adonai, Shaddai, YHWH, Father. The verse in Jer. 33:3 instructs us to call upon Him and He will answer us. Without looking it up, do you know which “name” Jeremiah refers to Him as? Jesus instructed us to call His father Father. I do and will. And God, my father, responses to that no matter which language I or anyone else uses. T’oma |
