MT>> Shonshona, I am curious why you spell God as G-d?
It is understood by most that the omission of vowels in G-d, L-rd, 
and the like, are for the sole purpose of showing reverence, and, so as 
not to, advertently, or inadvertently "blaspheme" the NAME of the Most 
High.  While this may appear to be a grand gesture on the part of 
most, we would do well to understand that, in truth, it holds little 
value at all.  Firstly, the name God (Gawd, i.e. pagan deity) and Lord 
(the anglicized transitive of Baal) have no place in dialogue 
concerning the Heavenly Father.  Secondly, and most important, YaHshua 
stated that - He came in His Father's name (the name that they would 
not receive-even unto this day) (John 5:43) "AND" He states:  "Holy 
Father, keep through thine own name, those whom Thou hast given me."  
Therefore, while many think to conceal his name, the MessYaH wants it 
to be manifest!  While some won't speak His glorious name (out of fear 
of blasphemy [???]), the Saviour councils us to speak His name as we 
petition the Father, that we may obtain the things that we desire and 
have need of.  Besides, why put a (-) in words that we think to be only 
titles, yet do you not spell "Jesus" out?  If Jesus were the true 
name, would you not be uttering the unspeakable?  Did the MessYaH not 
say: (Again) "I am come in my Father's name"?  Does not 
scripture inform us that YaHVaH is ONE, and His NAME one?  However, those 
of understanding know that Jesus (Iesous) stands for Zeus' healer, and 
that the true and most wonderful name of our Redeemer is YaHshua the 
MessYaH.  Use it and Live.  For there is only one name given whereby we 
MUST be saved.  Why will you die, when the power to live extends from 
your heart to your lips in the very utterance of YaHshua!
Thanks for reading Mark.
