I know this has nothing to do w/this blog, but please forgive my ignorance, you are the new writer for Pastor Foster I believe. And if so I’m blessed to meet your acquaintance and am looking forward to fellowshipping w/you. Your friend…Tony

Shofarsound, thanks for answering my question. I’ll check out both links.

I appreciate your question you asked, and I also appreciate Bro. Tony responese. It is out of reverence for the name of G-d, and not to take the name of G-d lightly. Judaism does not prohibit a person from writing the name of God(it is not a sin).

Here is two links below:

I hope that will assist you. G-d bless you and Bro. Davis. Again thanks Bro. Davis with your response to Angela question.

I did alittle research, old teachers habit (smile) and found that they are a “prophetic” ministry geared alittle towards Israel in prophecy. But this you might’ve known already, Israel as you said reverenced God so much they never said God, but referred to him as “Adonai” meaning “LORD.” Thats where you get the word “Yahweh” a name for God or the scholarly pronunciation if you will, the “Tetragrammaton” (YHWH). Hope I helped Ange.

It sounds like you’ve explained what “shofarsound” means. Thanks.
What I’m asking specifically is why he doesn’t spell the name of God.

I’m only curious, because I’ve never seen someone do that before.
There must be a significant reason for it.
I’m guessing out of reverence…?

I know this discussion isn’t about the spelling of God’s name, and I apologize for veering off.
The answer can be e-mailed to me, in order to stay on topic.

If you would allow me, and its my guess perhaps our friend, or friends are of “Messiaonic” affliation. Due to the term “shofar” which was a horn blown on “Rosh Hashanah” (Feast of the Trumphets) and “Yom Kippor” (Day of Attonement). The horn was blown to usher in the people and to warn them of danger. It was definetely an instrument of spiritual significance.
