Why was God's name removed from most bibles?

Is studying Shakespeare in German translation going to give all the insights and understandings that studying it in Shakespearean English would give?
No.

Is studying the US Constitution in Russian translation going to help someone understand the subtleties and intricacies of constitutional law?
No.

Does an actor's calling Macbeth "The Scottish play" out of a sense of loyalty to stage tradition mean he is covering up the name?
No.


time and space are more relevant in respect to what the drafters, writers meant vs later interpretations. a teacher gives an assignment for a book report on the same book that 25 kids read. even though they speak the same language none of them are going to give the same book report unless they cheated

jesus referred to it as the Father and references the name in Our Father who are in heaven, hallowed be thy name. naming something gives the illusion of power over it. you can't define an infinite. an infinite is more so an action than it is a noun. if it's a noun, it's more so a deverbal noun.
Exactly, which is why in Jewish tradition it is only said out loud once a year on Yom Kippur by a Temple priest. Many will use "haShem", "the Name" when conversing.

And as I said before to someone else, the vowels were and are not included within the Tanakh, so which vowels were actually there in pronunciation is not known.

144,000 is symbolic of 12 x 12 x 1000, which is symbolic for "completion upon completion in great numbers".

There is no J sound in Hebrew, that's true. That doesn't mean it cannot be translated or transliterated to an extent to another language that uses a J sound for perhaps a Y sound. So would you say it would be improper to say Jerusalem or Joshua or Jericho, etc.?
There is no other word or name that is sacred in the way that God's divine name is sacred. There is no commandment that says "Thou shalt not take the name of Jerusalem in vain."

I realize that. But to not use the name except maybe but once a year is virtually a sacrilege because it doesn't honor the Name at all. It actually keeps it hidden.

The divine name of God, the God of Jesus and the supreme ruler of the universe is above all others.
You are literally GUESSING how it is pronounced. It is incredibly irresponsible.
You're talking about ALL ORIGINAL HEBREW. There are no original accurate sounds available now. They are long gone, you probably know that. The commandment doesn't mean not to say the divine name out loud or to substitute Lord or Adonai instead of the tetragrammaton when reading the Hebrew tetragrammaton or transliterating it as best we know. There is no scripture stating not to say it. We should not use it in vain. That is a serious sin. It's certainly possible to use it wrongly. It never says, however, that we should not say the divine name God will take into account hiding it from the people including translations misleading people. God has a Name. Psalm 83:18 brings out there is one Most High God whose name is said in English as Jehovah for those who pronounce it that way. He alone is the Most High God. There is no other God like Him. Psalm 83:18.

the name isn't unique to jesus. god isn't a respecter of persons. this is why everyone that is baptized/immersed into the name should ruminate upon the name yet not take it in vain.

naming something gives the false impression of knowing something. to often as a object separate from self. the term in 3:15 is possibly derived from the name in 3:14 which makes it a deverbal noun. so that which is infinite can't be limited to anything. you can hint at it but dualist see it as something limited/separated from other. it can't be and be infinite = eternal = everlasting.

Im getting the sense you like to try to contradict what the scriptures say so you can plant seeds of doubt. If you cant believe it no one else should either?
Oh, I haven’t even started. I believe that Moses, Miriam, and Aaron are metaphors for Josiah, Huldah, and Hilkiah respectively.

I'm getting the sense that when others disagree with you, and provide documentation for their claims, that you resort to name calling and personal attacks.

You don't use the name at all, since you have no idea what the pronunciation is.
Simply not true. Yes, the 4 Hebrew letters can be determined to be recognizable by utterance. Sorry to say but for me to see your answers is sad. Very sad. And unjustifiable, another reason why I do not accept your so called reasoning on matters.
