For a number of years now, I've taken to mostly using the name Hashem (Hebrew for "The Name"), which is commonly used to avoid saying or speaking God's real name. The Tetragrammaton, YHVH (Yud Hay Vav Hay), was never spoken by anyone except for the Kohein Gadol (High Priest), once a year, on Yom Kippur. He went into the Holy of Holies in the Temple during one point in the service and pronounced the Name a total of three times, and had a rope tied around his waist. In case he died in there, someone could pull him out without going into a space they weren't permitted. Since it was only spoken by one person and never written down, people today don't know how to pronounce or spell it, which is why the Tanach (Jewish Bible) renders YHVH as Hashem or Lord, in small caps.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824539601044491117.post-5002025631005950032015-04-29T21:53:08.820-07:002015-04-29T21:53:08.820-07:00I'm hesitant to use the label God, Great Spiri...I'm hesitant to use the label God, Great Spirit, or any other name.

I like the idea that where all religions meet, that's where I am a believer. God is the mystery, the energy, the is that is, everything and nothing, love and life. If it helps to give it a name and/or a face, that's great, but I do wish people would stop fighting over the one true god. Seriously.

His response was, "Because he loves diversity." Seems to go right along with your "Coexist" word here!

Men create the dogma to suit themselves. In my mind, God resides in the seed and in the heart. I don't need ceremony to come between those and my celebration of this life.

The Yahweh name always makes me chuckle because I had a very heated argument (well, heated on her side) with a co-worker (who calls herself extremely religious) and she insisted that Yahweh was a false god and not the True God. I tried to explain to her it is "her" god, but she wasn't having it! It's always their way or no way and even other religions are "wrong". I don't get that. Why can't everyone be a bit right? Besides, it's not like every single religion is not a rip off of another or has very similar points. The more we discover, be it through science or archaeology or other methods, the more religion should change and adapt. Every single other aspect of the world does that...if not, we'd still believe the Earth is flat, that left-handed people are minions of Satan, etc. I like to get all the information I can, then make my decisions based on that, not just what "I'm told" by a group slinging a book at you, but that's just my opinion (and wow, that might possibly be the longest comment I've given during the challenge...well done Stephen!).Keebleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824539601044491117.post-32701272573016876422015-04-29T07:20:34.979-07:002015-04-29T07:20:34.979-07:00Yes I do. :-)Yes I do. :-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824539601044491117.post-33993612764558962392015-04-29T07:07:23.271-07:002015-04-29T07:07:23.271-07:00I do believe in a higher source.

All I can do is tell of my God experience, Jesus the saving Son and my relationship. Seeds planted is the best we can do. The rest is spiritual. Oh and SUPER important is this, I need to love others, because that is the heart of God. I struggle with that one. :)T.
