Please don't misunderstand me; I'm not trying to be smart. I'm trying to get a grip on the limits of what you mean by a 'representation'. Words are representations, some of those words have been held as sacred to the point where Jews would not say or write the Name of God, but would instead use the tetragrammatron "YHWH". In the same way many Bibles represent the Almighty Father by the capitalised word "LORD". These words are representations, just as symbols such as the looped triangle is for the Trinity, and the dove is for the Holy Spirit.. Does it go too far to rever the Name of the Lord in the way that the Jews did? Is there some way in which one could be breaking both the 2nd commandment and the 3rd at the same time? Where is the line; can it be defined?
