This was something I did not know, so I am glad I asked. If this is the reason, I can respect this, God has laid it on my heart, that anytime I write or type a pronoun referring to Him, that it be capitalized. Grammatically this is not necessary, but if I don't do it, it is sin, because He told me to. This is just a personal conviction between me and God, as I am sure Beth leaving out the letters is with her. <br />I just did not understand. Thank you to Jerry for answering my question.

However, if someone is speaking the truth about God or to God, it is not in vain to use His name - He did not command us NOT to use His name, but not to use it in a wrong manner. For the record, saying G-D or L-rd in an innapropriate way (as a substitute for God or Lord) is just as much using His name in vain...<br /><br />One thing that bugs me about Beth's prior posts here (and I am assuming and hoping she is doing it unintentionally) is that she does not do the same with the names of the Son of God, such as Jesus, Christ, etc. If she was convicted that this was the proper way to not use God's name in a wrong manner, why is she not doing the same with the names Jesus and Christ, etc.? Does she not believe He is God? If she does believe He is God, then she should be using His name in the same manner.<br /><br />But again, God NEVER tells us not to use His name - in fact, He identifies Himself by His name as the true God, and we are to use those names in witnessing to others - but tells us not to use them in vain (ie. in a worthless, unworthy, profane manner).<br /><br />Beth, I am assuming you just never thought this issue out in relation to the Son, and that this is not a deliberate attempt to downgrade His deity in any way - however, when you reply to this and these other comments, it would probably set all our minds at ease if you tell us exactly where you stand on the deity of Christ.<br /><br />P.S. I was not going to address this issue - but seeing as others have brought it up, I decided it was time to speak my thoughts out on it as well.Jerry Boueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939572388745111915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458704418802617760.post-58279521609356352222010-05-29T10:56:06.262-05:002010-05-29T10:56:06.262-05:00I was wondering the same thing?

I have seen sites where those words were offensive. (I will not go back to those sites). However, this was intended for a Christian audience, why would it be offensive? I do not mean to be rude, I would just like to understand.Robbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337533524694241174noreply@blogger.com
