I learned about those names at Dordt fortunately but never really considered whether or not you should say Yahweh instead of God. Personally I don't think it is probably crucial which you say of the two but it's very interesting to ponder. Another thing that comes to mind from Dordt that might be worth looking into is something about when the Israelites made the golden calf and called it Yahweh. But my memories from that class are vague and therefore hold no real meaning lol I've looked into that idea and haven't found a whole lot to back that up yet. Plus I'm sure you were educated much better than me on this subject and the Old Testament in general so you'd probably know if there was anything to that idea. Anyway I got sidetracked, great blog once again.rlog41https://www.blogger.com/profile/02396008526327507349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681953675443018008.post-44116630735731160622012-03-06T15:47:57.578-06:002012-03-06T15:47:57.578-06:00I say "God" rather than "Yahweh&quo...I say "God" rather than "Yahweh" because the New Testament uses either θεος or κυριος when saying "God" and "Lord." I understand that the NT was using Greek/Aramaic to discuss OT terms, but they were still used that way by Christ and his apostles.Cameron Shafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373231190625204161noreply@blogger.com
