this one is for sarah, we pretty much covered the main resons why i chose to call the almighty what i do....i think we toss the name G*d around like a sack of potatoes some times...it is very easy to use the name, and not think about the power behind that name.....when i utter the name Yahweh, it makes me stop and think even if only for a moment....it is a strange name to hear to those of us not of jewish decent...so it catches attentions too...and it is a beautiful way to start a conversation with someone who is far more open to talk to you about Yahweh than the "god" they HEAR about way too much and never SEE...does that make sence??? when i refer to Jesus as yeshua...well actually i have a more personal reason for that....when i can call him by the name that he was actually called in his earthly life, i feel like i am speaking more personally of him....it is like say i have a french friend named lionel....in english we would say it like you see it....like lionel richie....right....but in french you would pronounce it completely diffrent....it would sound more like "yonel"....it puts a bit more of him into perspective...and in the case of Yeshua a bit more of his humanness into the mix....still with me? so basically they are just personal choices that i have made, i dont expect anyone to agree with me, or change their minds. this is just where my feet are right now...
like i said, we have already pretty much talked about this, but i wanted to get it down too....i think scott was little curious also...by the way scott your blogs are very interesting....make me think make me think....thanks for the link....
