What does HaShem mean?
Just a title to prevent in us the desire to quest for His real name.

What does HaShem mean?
Fascinating Ben. I had always presumed the opposite in time sequence.
You should probably explain to @Akivah how pointing out your hypocrisy equates to breaking the Golden Rule. You should also explain to him what makes the Golden Rule a more serious transgression than any other in the Torah.
What does being in the Decalogue have to do with being serious? Being a false prophet is a sin, and it carries a much more serious punishment than most of the commandments in the Decalogue.Because the Golden Rule covers the whole second part of the Decalogue.
Well personally, if someone saw that I was being hypocritical I'd want them to point that out so that I can either rectify myself or defend myself.And he broke the Golden Rule because I did not like to be addressed to as a hypocrite, would you?

I am fine Flankerl, how about yourself? What are you up to? What's your opinion about doing good works on the Sabbath? For instance, to go through the struggle of resuscitation to save a boy who had a sunstroke? Don't you think it was a mitzvah for Elijah to save that boy?
That's one opinion. Not a Jewish one, mind you. But its definitely an opinion.HaShem has only one name. All the other references to Him are titles according to the actions of creation or descriptive adjectives about His relations with the Universe, especially man.
I don't think you know what falling under the Golden Rule means.How, by calling you a hypocrite? I don't think you know what the Golden Rule is.
What is "sun"? Haven't seen that thing for a long time.
Also saving someones life on Shabbes was never against the rules.
Good! I think many over-zealous religious people ought to learn from you.
No I have yet to meet a Jew who wouldn't save the life of someone on the shabbat.
But you are spinning so don't let me stop you.
Absolutely. Surely you know that ספק נפשות דוחה את השבת, right? And מפקחין פקוח נפש בשבת והזריז ה"ז משובח ואין צריך ליטול רשות מב"ד? Right?And you mean even Haredi Jews!
And you mean even Haredi Jews!
And did you know that you have just broken the Golden Rule?
