Questions to Rich

Submitted by Nuray (Portugal), Jan 15, 2006 at 16:13

Dear Rich,

God is not a name but a title. Do you know any reason why Christians didn't give a name to God of Abraham as Jews and Muslims did?

You wrote that
"We don't know how to say the name of God so putting Jehovah or Yahweh in there is just silly."

But I have an idea about why Christians didn't give a name to God. Jesus was a Jewish. Therefore, there was no need to give a name to a known God. Is that possible?

Thank you.

Nuray
