[QUOTE="doubtingmerle, post: 76846088, member: 6687"] Now that we are on the subject, it occurs to me that perhaps even the word "God" is not an acceptable name for God. For the word "God" isn't even a word in Hebrew or Greek. So the Bible writers never even heard of that name. So, where did it come from? I looked it up and found this: [URL="https://etymologeek.com/eng/god"]God etymology in English | Etymologeek.com[/URL] . It turns out the English speaking people just ignored the name for God, and substituted their word for "good" when they heard people speak of the creator. So if I believe that Good so loved the world that he sent his Son, is that acceptable to YHWH (or whatever his name is)? What a pity it would be if you got to the pearly gates and professed your faith in God, only to find out that God (good) cannot save you. Just saying. [/QUOTE]
