Gerioke, we are not contradicting you about God having more than one name. We are only asking why you would think He is not called God at all?

Are you not the one to title your own song "Good God" ??

I'm not saying He is not called God at all. He's God with a capital G. The God He even calls himself the God. Not a god.

God is His title just as Lord is His Title.

Do you think that when people take God's name in vain, they are thinking of the Father of Jesus? I believe those people are diminishing a generic god as I don't believe God damns anybody. We each make our own personal choice to end up where we do.

In short we can call God, God because that's what He is not who He is.

'Cuz they know they have no power, as God does. So much for God not making His presence known, huh

Yep.

I also think, that an immediate reaction to a bad situation is to sin, or to react in a bad way. Since the names of Mohammed and Buddha are totally meaningless, using their names in 'vain' is not a sin - and not really a 'bad reaction' to a bad situation. However, the name of Jesus is all powerful, and using his name as a reaction to anger or frustration, indeed IS a sin, therefore a natural reaction.

Oh forgive me Gerioke. I was under the impression that you didn't believe He is called God at all because you stated:

however, I don't believe that "God" is actually His name.

So you are saying that you don't believe God is His name or do you? :P

Sorry, I'm confused.

God is His title, not His name.

His name is YHWH...... Yahweh, as far as we know. There are a couple of places in the Bible that calls Him Yah.

God is His title, not His name.

Can you explain the difference in definition? The reason I ask this is because I thought the Power is in His name.

Can you provide Scriptural support to your claim of "God is His title, not His name." Please don't mistake. I do not have a dogmatic attitude.

Also, what denomination of churches do you go to? I strive to understand, not to challenge your beliefs.

President Obama. Is President his name?

Officer Stedanko. Is Officer his name?

Exodus3: 13 Then Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?"14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"15 God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.16

Notice God refers to Himself as "THE GOD". I don't refer to myself as "the Gerioke"

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
