Listen, little girl (surely you aren't an adult?), I don't *pretend* to know anything.
You made that up. "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Didn't you know that?
Also, you seem to be entirely ignorant of the Tetragrammaton:
In Exodus 3:1315 God, asked by Moses for his name, replies "I Am That I Am", followed by "I Am", and finally "YHWH":
... אהיה אשר אהיה ... כה תאמר לבני ישראל אהיה שלחני אליכם: ... יהוה אלהי אבתיכם ... זה־שמי לעלם ...
"I AM THAT I AM [...] Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. [...] YHWH, God of your fathers, [...] this is My name for ever"[Exod. 3:1415]
Biblical Hebrew was written with consonants only, meaning that the name of God is written YHWH. The original pronunciation of this word was lost many centuries ago, but the available evidence indicates that it was in all likelihood Yahweh.[7] The evidence also suggests that it is the shortened form of a sentence used in worship, and meant "he causes to be" or "he creates".[7] Most likely the original sentence was el du yahwi seba'ot, "el who creates the hosts", meaning the heavenly army accompanying the god El as he marched out beside the earthly armies of Israel.[7].
As the origins of Yahweh seem to lie to the southeast of Israel, in Edom and Midian or even further, an alternative explanation looks for the source of the name in South Semitic languages like Arabic rather than in Hebrew, which is West Semitic. One of the meanings of HWY in Arabic is connected with falling or causing to fall, leading to an interpretation of Yahweh as a storm god whose name means "He who causes to fall" (meaning rain, lightning, and his enemies) or "He storms". This helps explain Yahweh's attributes as a storm god (he comes to rescue Israel surrounded by darkness and thick clouds, and the earth trembles, the clouds drop water, and the mountains quake at his appearance), and the way he appropriates attributes from the rival storm god Baal.[8](Wikipedia)
You didn't know this either?
N.B.: Any further lies/nonsense from you and I will really let you have it. You have been warned.
"Let me have it"?
Listen, DUDE, do not threaten me or use keyboard bullying just because you disagree with what I have to say.
doing that, it makes it certain that YOU are the child. Get a life.
You didn't answer my question (see phrase, above followed by question mark).
Know this: I did not threaten you; I WARNED you that I will not tolerate insults, LIES, and other nonsense from you. I have not attacked you personally, nor have I responded in kind- but, I'm warning you- I will, as soon as I know you aren't a child.
I can assure you that I am not a child and that I happen to know what Im talking about.
When speaking of God we don't say the "Shem Hameforash" and that is why I corrected you. Secondly, when speaking previously, i have stated before that in Judaism there are 613 Mitzvos, and we are not in an a time when we can keep all of them, since many concern the Holy Temple. There IS no holy temple in our days.
I have told you also that if not taking my word for it, ask a Rabbi.
