Hashem.
Go and read a hebrew [transliterated] bible.

Not correct. You go read books or websites by Jewish authors and see how many times they use that.Originally posted by Nelstar:Correct. -
Elohim

God = Elohim
Hashem = The Name
Name of God is Yahweh. But since Jews do not pronounce that name out of respect, they read it as Adonai (written in hebrew as YHWH and in english, LORD, all caps). In conversation, they refer to the name as Hashem. -
Yar lor, so if you were to talk to a Jew about God, better use Hashem.

No la, not really a mistake.Originally posted by Nelstar:Donno leh, I don't speak hebrew. I read it as Yahweh when I was reading on religions.

My replies above were just to show much of the literature has been influenced by Christian mindset. And the church likes to make their followers think they share much 'heritage' with the Hebrews. Many Christians seem to think how their pastor or priest interpret the OT is how the rabbi will interpret the Tanakh.
The Jews rever the name of God, to think Christians happy happy can say jehovah, yahweh, ye-he-hua etc .. -

Hmm, confusing actually, so which one to use?
Btw, Yahweh is only not to be used when addressing or referring to God? -
By right, Yahweh is not to be used when talking or writing to a Jew about God. Hashem is very safe, so you can use it without worry.

Err, then can explain all the terms peeps use here, like Hashem?Originally posted by Icemoon:By right, Yahweh is not to be used when talking or writing to a Jew about God. Hashem is very safe, so you can use it without worry. -
blasphemy against the holy spiritOriginally posted by laurence82:What is sie du shen ling?
When reading scriptures in hebrew, read YHWH(Yahweh without the vowels) as Adonai. When conversing with a Jew, use Hashem when you mean Yahweh, and Elohim when you mean God.

Hashem literally means "the name"Originally posted by laurence82:Err, then can explain all the terms peeps use here, like Hashem? -
Paiseh, I got nukewatch confused too. It is xie4 du4 shen2 ling2, not shen4 ling2.
I don't think Jews believe in Holy Spirit (shen4 ling2). -
Hmm, mabbe the Holy Spirit as God, not as defined by Christians?
