Hi Briggie,
Why do Jewish Christians write G-d instead of God?
Thanks,
Your bro in Yeshua HaMashiach,
Daniel Pivano
Hi Daniel, I’m not 100% sure, as I have never practiced the Jewish faith but I think it goes back to Hebrew origins. It’s like when Hebrews write YHWH and Christians write Yahweh. The ancient Hebrew scrptures were written without vowels which is why they wrote it as YHWH. Christians added the a and the e. So I would figure that Jewish Christians, or Messianic Jews while they believe that Jesus is the Messiah, still hold to to some of their Jewish traditions. Also, if you remember back in the first 5 books of the bible, or the Torah, people did not say the name of God, they were not able to because God is so Holy, they also could not look upon Him or they would perish. So, that’s my take on the subject. I may be off base and you could always Google your question to see if there is a more “scholarly” explanation. Hope this helps, take care and may God, Yahweh, YHWH, Jehovah, Alpha and Omega, The Bright And Morning Star, etc, etc, etc be with you and bless you.
