May I ask if you know what LORD means Maam? The first verse you posted would make much more sense if you didn't alter the passage. In other words, how can one call on or swear on God's name if one chooses not to use or reveal it?

 

[Truman]

When the KJV was written, approx. 400 years ago, if a child said that he feared his father, people would think, "Good, he respects and listens to him." Today, if a child says he fears his father, Child Protective Services may be called.
Over the centuries, the meaning of the word fear has changed. It appears to me that in an attempt not to change the word of God, it has actually changed, at least in this word. Many other translations have followed suit.
I do not fear God, though I do have a reverential awe and respect for him. Which I think Him for.

She did not alter it. That is the KJV rendering of it.
Deuteronomy 6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
Let me guess. It doesn't match up with the New World Translation, right?

These things and more are why we must read and study and talk with God. We then are getting to know God and as we are getting to know Him, we are getting to know also the meanings God intends for us in what is written.

Remember the error of Abraham:

"Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake." Gen 20:10-11

Often even with the best of intentions we err in our evaluation of others. We fail to understand what is in their heart. Indeed, what is the fear of the Lord?

 

[Truman]

There is a fear of God, but it's not a word that I want to use when I think about Him. His enemies should fear Him. He is, "The Dread Of Israel."

 

[farouk]

Psalm 111 speaks of Godly fear, in the sense of deep reverence.

True, but that version did. Better to print what was actually there, by changing YHWH to Adonai, the meaning is completely changed. How can you swear by His name, if you do not use His name? See what I mean Cassy?
