Jews are very particular about not using God's name in vain, so far as to spelling His Name as G-d...because if it happens that they made a mistake (e.g. put the word in the wrong order in the sentence or didn't need to say it in the first place), deleting the actual word "God" or "Yahweh" or "Elohim" would count as the sin of mentioning God's name in vain.
I'm a Christian from Indonesia and just started writing emails to a friend from Israel who is a Messianic Jew. I noticed that she never uses the word "God" when she speaks (referring only to "Him") and when she writes emails she spells The Name "G-d". How should I reciprocate?
