Did you catch this????

River:

 I'm often suspect of the El titles because we know many ancient religions and that of the Saturn worship groups are related with this. I think we must be careful with this ancient history because it isn't all clear and we have Christ slamming those religious groups who claim to be in line with the only true God and yet he knew it was not.

Hi River,

Yes any name can be used with a improper connotation attached to it. What I am seeing is that all these 'names' are titles that can be ascribed to God and have also been attributed to other gods as well. I think our God would know what our intent was in using such a word.

What I got from that info was that יהוה - YHWH is considered the name of the God of Israel. But Elohim, El, Shaddai and Adonai are not names but titles. So I do not see how using them would be inappropriate as it is a descriptive term, whereas the word YHWH would be considered the identified name of the God of Israel.

I think it is in the way that we use the word/name and God knows what our intent is in the way that we speak of Him and His Spirit will intercedes until He shows us what is right.

Rom 8:27  And He searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

mercy, peace and love

Hey Kat,

  I see what your saying. That is one thing that I now rest more assure in now that I see things differently. The fact that God understands! For me there is a lot of peace in that.

SeekingHim:

Something that thrills my heart is this scripture: [Romans 8:15] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

It's like calling him "Daddy." We have that privilege. I'm not worried about his name. My earthly dad would be shocked if I called him by his name.
