Oh I completely agree with you. I just like to provoke people's thoughts. But I have never ever rebuked anyone for calling God God or anything else, as long as they're acknowledging Him for who He is. I call Him God and Jesus and other things myself. The heavens nor the universe can contain Him; I'm positive theres not just one name that can contain Him either. I do still believe that there isn't as much respect/reverence for God's names (even the word "God") as there should be. I've been to Israel and I have plenty Messianic Jewish friends (one is a pastor in Jerusalem) who believe so as well, and they themselves are ones who don't ever say His name but rather they say "Hashem" --which means The Name-- when reading for the bible. That can become religious like, but so can going to church. It's a matter of the heart. It isn't something that we absolutely must do, and therefore isn't anything that is required to be "saved"; it's just som'm to help one out in fearing Him methinks. He's our Abba --our daddy-- yet He's still on we have to fear. _________________ So I was thinking the other day about yogurt. |

Well, the fact that names God and Jesus Christ have become explatives let you know of our respect... Wow, this is extremely off topic. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

No. But I used to drink that garbage when I was little. From a glass bottle no less. I'm old. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

I came back out a few years ago, and that's when I found out how flat and bile-like it tasted. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |
