I sent an e-mail note to the people running www.obohu.cz/bible, asking:
Why do you display the Tetragrammaton (in Hebrew letters) in the title areas in web browsers?
You do know, that for … religious Jews that is a rather bad
habit, don’t you? It makes them rather avoid your library, and that should not be necessary, don’t you agree?
I would like to hear your opinion on this.
Libor Divis from Praha replied:
… O Bohu – in Czech it means “About God” …
Orthodox religious Jews might not be satisfied with Tetragrammaton (replacing THE TETRAGRAMMATON in Hebrew letters), the Catholics are not satisfied with Jehovah, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not satisfied with (replacing THE TETRAGRAMMATON in Latin letters), and almost all other “Christians” are satisfied with nothing – except meaningless names like e.g. GOTT, HERR, GOD, LORD, HOSPODIN, …
I think, that It is right to obey God rather than men. (“New Testament”, Acts 5:29)
And what God said?
Exod 3:15 : And God said to Moses again, You shall say this to the sons of Israel, Jehovah ((replacing THE TETRAGRAMMATON in Hebrew letters)), the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial from generation to generation.
I asked for permission to blog our communication, and here is, what he answered:
no problem regarding your blog …
Gal 1:10 : For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I would not be a slave of Christ.
Yes, I think I know, what I’m doing.
I assume, he is simply a misguided, fundamentalist warrior. That’s sad.
