I appreciate your response but I thought it was 1Cor who wanted a discussion. Where is he?

You got that right,names should never be changed going from one language to an other.

A name was not changed. That would be like changing Mike to Bob. LORD is not meant to be a name. The jews say "haShem" instead of saying Yahweh because of a belief that to say the name could risk irreverence.

The KJV translators followed that same practice by using the LORD. They do not hide the fact that the underlying Hebrew reads YHWH.

Either way I would like to know how we are all still so far from God because a bible we read says LORD and not Yahweh according to Raven.
