foreboding Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 8 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: I’ve often thought this was gravely misunderstood. You’re not supposed to take/use the Lord’s name in vain. It doesn’t say that you cannot say his name. So you are not supposed to use the Lord to swear/promise/threaten anyone, as if you have some authority over what God does or doesn’t do. Nor are you to tempt the Lord to do anything. It’s perfectly fine however to say his name in worship and adoration. Would being named "God" possibley be considered a little vain or no?

Amy Grant released a very popular Christian song “El Shaddai” in 1982. It includes the name Adonai. She pronounced it “ah-doe-nigh”. Adonai Mitchell’s parents may have heard “El Shaddai” on the radio or at church. I know I did. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 My real first name supposedly means “God like” so I got that going for me, 😁🍸🚬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 We need Key and Peele to give us the correct pronunciation. Watch, his parents will be like “We wanted to name him Donald, but that’s too common. So we decided on “A Donny” or Adonai” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a little knowledge about the Bible and the Judeo/Christian religion does not preclude also having some knowledge about football and the Bills.

Putin Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 20 hours ago, Dan Darragh said: Having been raised in the Jewish faith this name never fails to crack me up. "Adonai" is Hebrew for "God" and religious Jews are so careful of observing the commandment of not taking God's name in vain, they actually won't say this word unless engaged in formal prayer. In other cases they substitute the word Hashem which means "the name." I can't wait until he catches a Hail Mary pass. Amen 🙏🏻 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that "Jehovah" was contrived from the consonants of YHWH and the vowels of Adonai (and dragged through a couple languages other than English). It's now a "word" ... but it literally does not appear in the original languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
