out of reverence and not wanting to become too familiar with God's name, many Jews will sayAdonai (Lord)HaShem (The Name)As referenced in another post, Matthew's Gospel, the most Jewish of the Gospels, referred to the Kingdom of God as the Kingdom of Heaven.When writing His name, writing it as G-d serves the same purpose. You may also find the reference L-rd. It is a way of expressing reverence for the ineffable name formed by the transliterated Hebrew Y-H-W-H, which the name Yahweh is substituted (rendered Jehovah by some, but there is no 'j in Hebrew). Only once each year will Orthodox Jews actually use God's name and it is during Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.Why do so many write/say Church when the Greek is ecclesia and should be translated Assembly? Tradition I suppose.Why do so many write/say Baptize when the translators, who were Anglicans and believed in sprinkling, rather than translate the word immerse chose to coin a new word and render it baptize?By the way, I suppose I should include this disclaimer on future posts: I am not a Judaizer. Yet, I do desire and attempt to be a disciple of Jesus (Yeshua, Yashu) and seek to emulate Him in word and deed. Not perfect but striving to walk in His ways. I also strive to adhere to the words of the Apostle Paul and rightly divide the word of truth. God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led
