Childern of YESRAEl why, why do you worship "G-d"? I am sicken that אל is not treated with respect from בני ישראל. I cry that those who seek out the truth are given lies that kill them. Did יעקב do as האל בית-אל said or did יעקב do the commands גד?

Hello Wes.
After you introduce yourself I was wondering who גד is? In the Torah he is one of the sons of יעקב. I don't think he gave commands. He was the son of Zilpah, Rachel's handmaid.
I am a ger from the goyim. I am baffled that the children ישראל would dare call אל אלהי ישראל , "G-d". I believe אל has stated what will happened to those who set a table for גד. I am trying to live. I have read that the goyim are to tell בני ישראל their wrongs as loud as our voice can go. I hope that בני ישראל are not too blind and proud to see that they have picked up the ways of the goyim. And now call אל אלהי ישראל "G-d". Is it not written even in my tongue: those who set a table for גד and make a mixing bowl for מני, I shall destine you for the sword, you shall all kneel down to be slaughtered. Thousands of years ago אל knew that even this you would do. Please, please turn your hearts back to אל.

Wes,
You’re smug, arrogant, ignorant and unaware of homophones. What other endearing qualities do you have?

Yeah, this sounds like you hate where you came from and where you went. I don't think that anyone's feelings are being hurt but yours when the word "God" or "G–d" is used to refer to God, and I doubt that יהוה or anyone else needs you to come to their emotional defense. Since when does the Eternal call upon you to correct his people's behavior or to defend his sensitivities?
After all, אל was the name of a Canaanite god, as was עליון, and even יהוה was worshiped by peoples other than Israel. I don't think that God is sitting up in heaven getting mad at people for using the wrong name to refer to him.

I have told you I am a ger. You have insulted me. Have you no thought of safety? I cried when I seen your replies. I cried to אל. I prayed that we may be wiser. In intimacy can a man's wife call him by another man's name?

I'm not trying to insult you Wes, I'm trying to understand you. What branch did you convert through? Your postings don't sound very grounded in Judaism, and almost sound like someone who is a Messianic.
