Why write GOD as G-D?

[Constant]

True that. If you are referring to God, write God not G-D.

If it doesn't matter then why use a capital letter instead of just writing "god"?

Well the problem is that the Old Testament teaches us, as it did the jews of that time to call on His name, Praise His name, and exalt His name.

[IreneM]

in the old testament no one knew the real name of God and those who wrote of Him did not do it out of respect they did it out of fear

Just saying the name of God was fearful to them (Jehovah)

So when writng it they left out letters as they do today............

now it may be out of respect but not originally.........

I was raised a catholic true but am half jewish on my mothers side other half french.

My grandparents came over from poland and did not tell any one they were jewish were afraid to do so did not know myself for many years since then have been studying my hearitage........

A good study is

Jewish Literacy

(the most important things to know about Jewish Religion , its people and its history) by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin

the book is about 30 dollars but worth it .........

John 17

verse 6 "I have MANIFESTED YOUR NAME to the men whom You have given Me out of the world....

11 "Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through YOUR NAME those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in YOUR NAME.

26 And I have declared to them YOUR NAME, and will declare it...

Proverbs 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? WHAT IS HIS NAME< AND WHAT IS HIS SONS NAME , IF YOU KNOW?

Gen 13:4 And there Abram called on the NAME of the Lord.

Is 26:13 Oh Lord our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we MAKE MENTION OF YOUR NAME.

Mal 1:11 My NAME shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to MY NAME, and a pure offering; For MY NAME shall be great among the nations says the Lord of hosts.

God does have a name, not just a title. Yeshua/Jesus means salvation. That is His name. But that said, look at Psalm 138 1-2

verse 2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise YOUR NAME for Your loving kindness and Your truth; For You have magnified YOUR WORD above all YOUR NAME.

It is His WORD that is Magnified. And who is the WORD according to John? Yeshua is the WORD made flesh and dwealt among men. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, Amen

Um... It doesn't Matter God and G-D are the same of a matter of fact writing G-D to some people is respecting God's name, you can't force you culture on other people you know? When i am writing back and forth with Jews i respect there Culture by writing G-D. To them you are being disrespectful for writing God, its i culture thing

That is all that matters At first I thought people where spelling God wrong lol. I understand now. It just gets confussing sometimes because even though you have explained it, I still don't fully understand it.

I learned the hard way.....no one told me this before , when I came in

to post in the forums. Sometimes there are heated discussions, as you know,

and I didn't understand why.

It is because ......

We have people of different kinds of religions ,and beliefs that

are here, from all over the world. We all share our beliefs with each other. As long as we keep our respect for one another with, Godly Love and Fellowship.

Also, as I had said ... as long as we serve the same GOD.

And , GOD to be Glorified through us .

LOVE and PEACE to everyone,

True that! It is amazing how many arguments and heated discussions go on on the threads. People get nasty and rude because we all do have different beliefs and opinions. I also think that sometimes people forget what kind of boards we are on!
