My bottom line? I find the name J—–H offensive because it disrespects Jewish law. As for “God?” .. the being who crucifies his son after screwing the son’s mom? Sounds rather Greek to me!In the Torah it says that the Deity, when asked what His name was. did not answer “Zeus,” or “Jesus,” or “Aton.” The Deity’s told Moses “I am that I am.”
The letters that spell this phrase are all vowels (YHVH) Because the Hebrew letters can be pronounced many ways, including Yahoo and Eeahooha. no one know how they were pronounced. If YHVH ever did represent a name in the sense other religions bestow names on their deities, that name is a well kept secret among the Jewish priests, the Cohenim. .
Because the ten commandments state that Jews should not “use the name of God in vain,” Jewish law prohibits efforts to pronounce the four letters. The common Christian name for the Deity, J—–h, is actually a very offensive obscenity no observant Jew would use.
Orthodox Jews refer to G-d as “Hashem,” which means “the name.”
