How does that follow ? We have to watch out for what is often called " holy namers ' . It usually comes from certain groups , even cults ,which put a spin on the ' name ' of God . They make a big deal about God's name ( or Jesus) and they tell others that they are the true followers because they know how to pronounce the name of God the most correct way. Take the Jehovah's_Witnesses, for example .There entire attack on christianity is based on the fact they claim to be the only group that correctly uses the name of God .' Jehovah ' . From this they have managed to dupe millions into accepting their ' translation ' to include all the times they think the name has been ' removed ' . This paves the way for them to change other parts of the bible .

The name of God in context to me is descriptive until it is relational
Meaning man's name for God is seen by what HE did.
God the Creator
God the Father the first Cause uncaused.
Lord God the self-existent One
Lord God that heals
the Lord Who Provides
The Lord God who delivers
By His nature: Lord God all-powerful, the Lord God who knows all, Lord God the merciful, The God of Love unmerited
