Where does that leave us Jews who don't see the English word "God" as the same as the Tetragrammaton?

While I will not write the Tetragrammaton nor attempt to pronounce it, I see no reason to treat the vernacular placeholder of "God" the same way.

I see your point...It's valid, however, I've gotten used to it...

Is 'God' a Jewish word?


Seriously - 'G()D' is all Consciousness.

Richard, you don't know "all about Christianity" at all. For your information,
the Son and the Holy Ghost appear in the Gospels and the Creed of the 1st century,
they are basic beliefs handed down from the beginning of the Church, not 325 "CE",
which I prefer "AD".

Why is it important then to spell it g-d when it isn't even a Hebrew word?
