Truth..right what else is there lol. "God" really is the wrong word. It for me does not even  begin to describe Him..I tell Him this all the time. Not really wrong but God GoD G-O-D there is no right way. For me its not His name. There was a reason they would never speak His name. Yet Christ has come and we are sons/daughters children of "God" our Father.

The great thing about Him is.. Hes a personal God. For me I can believe since there is no end to Him we can keep getting closer and closer and closer.. oh yes amen

Good grief.

GOD IS SPELLED G-O-D.

NOT G-O-O-G-L-E.

  In the sense of seek and find as opposed to copy and paste. 

It grieves me to have started this particular topic. The point was not how to spell  God. The point is to emphasize the difference in seeking Him for answers as opposed Google for answers about Him. Then respond by copying what may appear to be presumed by others as being right then pasting it as though it was a well SOUGHT OUT answer. Only responses I get are....well figure it out.  Good grief.

I agree mostly, however

When God and I have silent conversations throughout the day, my address is Lord, or Father, or Abba.
It is usually Father for mercy and praise and thanks, Lord for help, and you can guess why I call on Abba, when in the spirit.

For myself, google is like an indoor hand held GPS. It is an aid.  The King James Authorized Bible has 783,137 words. (looked that up on google) .  I may remember a part of a verse, I type it in, and up comes the location (chapter/verse). Then, yes then I can study what I was looking for. Not comments of others that I purposely avoid 90% of the time lest my understanding become biased, from the 'herd instinct' to think as the mass. I try to think for myself and accept the consequences. I admit I don't always. I have a strongs concordance, Greek and Hebrew interlinears, and other reference books I have used for over  30-40 yrs. They were very time consuming when looking up words, parts of verses, or scriptures that had escaped my memory but the light was still in my 'sub conscience' waiting to be clarified. My original bible has been rebound three times. (On my 4th computer:)

Google is like my e-sword Bible for searches of scripture, but quicker and tolerates misspelled words better.
God is the creator originator of any/all "man made" technology. It can be used for good or bad, the lazy or the diligent)
I copy/paste often for different types of reasons, mostly in business, U-tube DIY's to find out how to repair/replace broken stuff,  or often scripture locating/study. I rarely read other commentaries or interpretations. Like this post, 'How to spell God', I have learned that within the "written scriptures" there is 950 different scriptural references on how God's people addressed Him.
All with scriptural references. I started to copy/paste them but, well, you understand.

But I can get some insight to the understandings/ideas of others here on the internet forum, which is like an extended arm of information on google. If you was a purist, Dan, not trusting what others have posted in/from google, doing all your research from reading, you wouldn't be here participating in this internet forum either. I believe you have discerned many who simply copy/paste the ideas of others, which I have been guilty of at times. Usually because it was what I believed and well put together with scripture to verify. Lazy maybe, but the word is the word wherever or however you find it.
Then we also have the best access to God's word through Wi-Fi. The Holy Spirit within us. Wireless...

I would not use any of the names for God outside of sanctified worship. God is Holy and we are to be Holy.
