But those same people will quote from a King James Bible where the eternal name [Yahweh] of God has been replaced with LORD 6,828 times! If you change the wording in the UPCI manual by one word it genders hours and days of debate, but the living, and inspired, Word of God is changed egregiously, and no one even cares. Why is that?
By the way, I'm not nor do I espouse the doctrines of the sacred name people. Just for your reference so we don't get off course here. Do we strain at gnats and end up swallowing the whole camel?

A comment and a question, Raven...
a.... You may already know this anyway but: The name of God is widely ASSUMED to be
Yahweh, but it's not known with certainty, because the original writers of the OT manuscripts used the initials YHWH instead of writing out God's actual name... and we have interpolated the consonants "a" and "e" to come up with the "name" Yahweh. So none of us even know the how it was originally pronounced, so
we cant know for sure what the original spoken name of God was. Even if you insist that
Yahweh is His proper name, you really don't know that for sure.
b.... since you feel the King James translators have committed such a great transgression by replacing God's name with "LORD",
what version of the Bible do you use, which has the "proper" name of God?
