That is not true: as Christian you are teached the dogma of the Holy Trinity:

the Father is God
the Son is God
the Holy Spirit is God

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity

The bible with it's sixty -six books opens with "In the beginning God..."In the beginning of the Bible there was God only and nothing else. At that time God was only in His one aspect the "triune" Father, Son, and Spirit. Therefore, God referred to Himself "Us" and "Our". In Genesis 1:26 God said,"Let Us make man in our image, according to Our likeness." This indicates that God is three - the Father, the Son, and spirit- and therefore has the aspect of being three. Beside this, there was nothing else.

That is what I was referring 9 pages ago:

G-d is an English word indicating deity.

This word is derived first from Latin which, in its turn, derived from Greek as well. This word "God" was first invented in the greek version of the Bible "The Septuagint" from where the Latin and the English version are derived.

In the hebrew version of the Bible (Tanakh) the term G-d is translated with: Elohim, Adonai, El and YHWH.

Every God's name has it own different meaning. As I think we have lost a lot by incorporating all his names in one word (God) I think it is better to use the word G-d when needed instead using the uncensored version God.

I understand, now, that for you this is not the God's name but you'll never know who will be reading your thoughts so it is better to use the censored version (G-d) to respect the reader.

Hope this is clear enough.

Thank You

The word God is derived from the Greek word Theos.

In the Genesis episode of creation the Hebrew word is Elohim which is the plural of the name Eloah, an expanded form of the common Semitic noun "'il" (ʾēl), which in details is in number:

Quote

Despite the -im ending common to many plural masculine nouns in Hebrew, the word is grammatically singular, and takes a singular verb in the Hebrew Bible when referring to God. When used with singular verbs and adjectives elohim is usually singular, "god" or especially, the God. When used with plural verbs and adjectives elohim is usually plural, "gods" or "powers".[1][2] It is usually translated as "God" in the Hebrew Bible, referring with singular verbs both to the God of Israel, and in a few examples to other singular pagan deities. With plural verbs the word is also used as a true plural with the meaning "gods".[3]

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elohim

Jews use Elohim to refer to Gods but than blame us that the Holy Trinity is polytheism.

That's "strange" if not worst.

Thank You.

I don't see why it's odd, to say breaking the commandments is sinning.

That's just wrong.

I'm Christian, I follow Jesus Christ's teachings. Trying to break it down into anything else is complicating something that doesn't have to be complicated.

That doesn't answer my question: what branch of Christianity are you?

Thank You.
