Of course, we all know there’s conjecture about the translations + pronunciations of the tetragrammaton on account of Jewish traditions not to speak the name aloud, and the tendancy of their scribes to write in short-hand.
But indeed, our God is our warrior and our strength, lest we forget this and think to raise a sword in his name without his saying so.
Ha. I was going to use one without the tetragrammaton so there wouldn’t be any confusion.

hehehehe, it’s ok
xD
You couldn’t slip that one by us
That was a nice verse!
No emoticons from me though! *smile!*
Why did you translate the tetragrammaton as “Lord” the first time but as “Yahweh” the second? (For what it’s worth, I don’t think it was ever pronounced “Yahweh.”)

Joel that’s HCSB and it was their verse for the day. I didn’t give any thought to the translation. I certainly can’t translate!
Jeff
Joel H,
I too wondered. I was a bit curious about the same. Perhaps, style?
I don’t mind either way, I mean there are so many names for God that the list is endless, and perhaps that is the point!
(or about him)
God could be trying to take the legalism out of it – not that I can say for sure, of course, but yeah… I think he knows when we’re talking to him
