Must I point out to you that I do not believe your etymology is correct? It's not like the anglo-saxons spoke lombardic anyway. Also
No, I don't think taking the name of the Lord in vain is a good idea. There's a reason early Christian writers did not disagree with Jews on replacing the tetragammaton with Lord.
That you concede that it is acceptable to address the Lord under a name also applied to the pagan god of the Canaanites demolishes your argument.
GOD vs. YHWH

Yeah because your belief doesn't change the etymology. You're praying to a pagan deity.
Well the Lombardic was who the Gothic Bible was made for, genius. And the Gothic Bible was the Saxon standard and how they were introduced to YWHW Jesus' father.
Lord Wellington? Is that taking it in vain. Lord of the Rings? Is that taking it in vain?
Jesus yelled Eli Eli while dying the on the cross, "Lord lord! Why have you forsakin me?!".
Jesus didn't speak English.
Why do you persist on calling Jesus's father after GODAN?

Dude, there is not a single person. Not a SINGLE person that has in mind any of the retardations you are making up when using the word "God".
Carter Davis
Appealing to the majority doesn't make you right, son.

It was called the Gothic bible, haha.
Jackson Hughes
The Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is not a pagan deity.
But it's a different person. I share my name with over a thousand people, but I am not them. "God" is the name of a pagan deity? All that proves is that there are two things with the same name
Luis Russell
Eh, who cares. It's not like Odin isn't a dead god and has been for centuries anyways. We killed him, and the frankensteining reconstructionism of pagan "revival" will never bring him back, so what's the harm in stealing his name for the sake of evangelization? Hell, nobody even knew this was the case until you pointed it out. That's how dead and buried Odin worship really is; God can Jesus and Jesus can be God for centuries and not one german will bat an eye, not one ounce of glory will go to Odin, until anno domini 2018, on a burmese leatherworking piazza. You need to call him Gotan just to force the comparison. Really joggs the noggin tbh.
Jack Gomez
Yeah but "God" is.
Would you call the Father "Baal"?
lol
Would you call the Father "Baal"?
Nathaniel Young
I wouldn't call the Father Baal because "Baal" is not the word for God in any language. If some new language was discovered, in which the word for "God" was "Baal," that would be the proper thing to call God in that language.
