Default Re: Use of Jehovah in the RcV of the Old Testament

I find the "classic English Literature" argument to be somewhat meaningless. Isn't that what gives us the prpoensity to morph into some kind of altered persona when we pray, suddenly speaking about "thou" who "doest" (or "dost") etc. It is so funny. It bugged me as a young teenager in the Assemblies of God how faces contorted, language changed, and voices alterd (typically down 1/2 to a whole octave).

Lots of posturing for a God that technically doesn't speak any of our languages, or more rightly, speaks all of them better than anyone. What is the draw for making ancient English be "God's language"?

This is sort of a Cargo Cult observation and it seems to cover the whole of Christianity, including the LRC.
