My response:  The Hebrews never practiced this kind of name substitution .  However, in later centuries, after our Savior was crucified, that is when this became a thing among some, not all, Jewish scholars.  There is evidence that those responsible for the translating of the Hebrew Writings, even as the language changed, retained the Hebrew, four letter, writing of His Holy Name.  It was left up to the reader to be able to see and say His Holy Name.  [ read and see also -- His Name From Ancient Time

Some esteemed guides of the people, began to hid His Holy Name, as a righteous thing to do.  Anyone who would dare pronounce His Holy Name out loud were looked down on -- even accused of breaking the third commandment.  This, however, was a later development, and not an original Biblical position.  Read it for yourself, His Name is emphasized over and over again throughout the whole of the Old Testament, disguised by the letters, LORD.  Men have replaced His Holy Name it with a lesser term, like previously mentioned -- LORD.  I wonder if the author of this return email can hear themselves.  This literary crime, is openly admitted in the last line of the above response --  

My Response: It seems that all modern preacher, teacher, and minsters resort to this excuse, calling on the Septuagint, a Greek translation for the Hebrew text.  So, if the Greeks changed the name, then that makes it all right?  What kind of reasoning is that?  And what is wrong with some groups campaigning to restore His divine Name?  Isn't that better than using names other than His.  How about we call Doug Bachelor, Sam Ham?  Why not, Sam Ham is the man, why not?  Because no one would know who you are talking about or who you are addressing and if you called out to him, Hey, Sam Ham, he would not respond, but this is how we are told to handle the Holy Identity of our Creator?  Oh, and then to blame the Holy Spirit for inspiring His Name to be changed?  This could be approaching Blaspheme.  

My Response: Not to worry so much about His Name, His Holy Identity?  Read Acts 4:12, and say that, and then read, Mat 11:27 and Ph 2:9-11, also.  Whose Name do you confess?  Oh, any name will do, you say?  And, what, people are dying in the name of Jesus?  Names don't matter?  That is proof?  Oh, and then you say it is about "articulation"?  How do you articulate the name Jesus?  Geezus, or. as over a third of the world articulates His Name as Hey Zeus, Hezeus (The Zeus).  I, and a few others, think it does matter.  Certainly the name used to replace our Savior's Name is not His Name, simple as that, even as this letter admits to.  The Name He was given by His Heavenly Father does not matter to them -- in fact, to the majority of Christian Churches.  The translators (scribes) are wrong and are afraid to admit it -- imagine if they did, all of the bibles they would have to recall, and all of the books they would have to change, but only after wiping all of the egg of error from their faces, the admissions of incomplete baptisms, imagine.
