Stick with me here,
Jesus prayed: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified." Matthew 6:9
Another scripture reads "Let all flesh bless [God's] holy name to time indefinite, even forever."—Psalm 145:21.
Obviously the writers of the bible believed that god's name was important. Despite this, many years after the scriptures were compiled, the almost 7000 instances of god's name "YHWH" were replaced with the title "LORD." Alright fair enough..we know that the people who took the name out were superstitious and didn't want to speak god's name despite the bible's clear message of everyone knowing it. The question is, why is bible still censored and not written as it originally was meant to be? I'm not religious but it seems that if one really believed in the bible being the holy word of god they'd want it to be as close to the original as possible. What are your thoughts on this?
