I stopped calling God as God for a whole year and start calling Him, Lord, Most High, or YHWH.  I've always felt like calling Him "God" was so impersonal. I call Him Father during my personal prayer time. Heavenly Father when praying publicly. I don't call Him Lord as I think that title is for Jesus/Yeshua and they are different. Personal choice, I think He knows we're talking to Him no matter how we address Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal choice, I think He knows we're talking to Him no matter how we address Him. Unless I add the word, Lord in front of "God" I'm not comfortable addressing Him as simply that. I know it probably isn't, but it almost seems a little irreverent. Yes, rather impersonal and distant. Most of the time I just say, "Dear, Jesus." That's extremely personal to me. Father is excellent when telling Him that I'm His child. And simply, "Lord" is very often used. Well, that's what works for me.  Edited June 29, 2020 by BeauJangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus said to pray "OUR FATHER," . . . When I pray to Him I always pray HOLY FATHER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s another word the Bible, the book in Greek, fun fact a old port town where most of the worlds papyrus paper was made back in the day was called Byblos.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a bit silly.. He aka GOD never once told me asked me "Call me by my Jewish name". To know they (Jews, Israel) tried to never write or speak His name. To me speaks how HOLY He is. I have said to Him many times.. I have no clue what GOD means. I don't mean the definition of the word lol. I don't know about you but in just talking back and forth.. never once said CALL ME.. just talks. Nor do I ask "ah.... is this Jesus? The Father? Ah.. Holy Spirit?" lol I just know its Him. Truth.. it is the sweet holy Spirit that we hear talking. Which is God. Who else could search the deep things of God " for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." So we really do understand just WHO HE IS right? If He wanted you to call Him by some name.. a He will tell you. Hes ABBA Father. He LOVES being called that.. Ask Him. There are times He is GOD where all you do is fall flat and don't move. Lol So why not just ask Him what name He would like you to use. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until now, I've never really thought of that. I do know what He told Moses when he asked the question. Exodus 3:13-14 13And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
