As is the case with most
teenagers, I had a lot of issues with organized religion before I became a
Christian. The main issue I had
was this idea of naming G-d. Regardless
of people’s belief systems, I didn’t understand how anyone could think that
there’s any name that could fully scratch the surface of this infinite life
source.
After going to church
for 9 years, I realized I STILL have issue with some aspects of organized
religion, and especially with this idea of naming G-d. It’s not so much that I think people
SHOULDN’T try to name G-d or meditate on the various names found in
Scripture. I just really hate the
idea of settling for that, as if that’s all there is.
And that is why I am
going back to writing G-d instead of spelling out the word. I’m not going to write out the whole
word because there is no way we can get the whole picture of who He is on this
side of eternity.
