THE NAMES OF GOD

Lola’s note: I have long wished for a Bible that identified the Name of God as written in the specific text, rather than our simple translations that coalesce all of them to: God, Lord, LORD, Almighty God – or other similar non-distinguishing acknowledgments which don’t reflect the fullness of His Name as used in context. I decided a couple of years ago to research what those names are – and then in January 2011 found another site that offered even more than I found the first time I searched. This list merges the information I've gathered.
