Tetragrammaton

Posted in Uncategorized by chamblee54 on May 6, 2010


PG foolishly answered the question “If you’re not proclaiming the Gospel, why not?”. His reasoning involved non agreement and good taste, and he soon found himself in a fun filled dialog. After the third entry, someone named “Otternam” made this observation: Zach, I was anon earlier, but I can talk now… chamblee is a troll, so don’t play too rough, ok? I can’t tell if he is Jewish or simply superstitious with the whole G-d wordplay… Id just cut to the chase and use the tetragrammaton… “
This is a family blog, and the x rated evidence PG could supply (re: is he Jewish?) is not conclusive in the modern USA. Readers will just have to take his word that he is a recovering baptist. In addition, he had never heard of the tetragrammaton. (Zach, the blog owner, used the phrase “decalogue of Exodus 20” to refer to the Ten Commandments.)

The T-ton is four letters which represent the G-d of Israel. The four letters are YHWH. This is not a song by the Village People. It’s pronunciation is disputed, and some say it should not be spoken aloud anyway. Many say it is Yahwah, which sounds really cool with a southern accent. Yahwah come back now, heah.

At some point, YHWH degenerated into Jehovah and G-d. The third commandment prohibits the improper use of sacred names, but that doesn’t stop very many people. The internet is not inhibited either, and a website for the T-ton is in operation.
