Why Don't Christians refer to god as yahweh
October 14, 2013 at 6:54 pm
Why do you always hear Christians refer to god as the lord or God, but they never call him Yahweh or elohim, which is what he is called by Hebrews in the bible. Intact many don't even seem to be aware that God's name is Yahweh and that by saying god, your not taking anyone's name in vain
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Because god is easier to spell and pronounce..?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

The Jews are aware...they spell G-d instead. No jew is even positive how to pronounce 'YHVH'.

And they should call Jebus, "Emmanuel."

Because most Christians believe in the trinity, so to them, Jesus is good enough. Lord = Jesus.
