The names of God

the god of christianity is the same as the god of the semitic faiths, namely judaism and islam.judaic tradition has in large part, preserved the <<Fear of God>> as a mean of devotion, hence uttering its name in vain was (and is still considered) a grave sin.to prevent such happenstance, synonyms, adjectives and titles have been applied.this has been preserved in catholicism as well.throughout the text, different designations are used to refer to god. these function as synonyms and are applied in accordance to the context.

(some of the names of god)
β™° YHWH (Χ™Χ”Χ•Χ”) - 'the Lord'
β™° Adonay (אֲדֹנָי) - 'my lord'
β™° 'El (א֡ל) - 'god'

πŸ“–: quote from the catechism;

The Old Testament,

is also known as <the pentateuch>, <the five books of moses> or <the torah> in judaism.πŸ“–: these books do not account for literal historical events and the authorship is contested in many cases. it's attributed to the heroes of the peoples where these stories originated. it's a mythologised simplification of history of various semitic peoples, mainly the 12 tribes of judah.
the order in which they appear is not chronological.the pentateuch is the result of four literary traditions:πŸͺ¦ yahwist (J): authors who called the aforementioned god by its name, 'yahweh'πŸͺ¦ elohist (E): authors who called the aforementioned god by its title, 'elohim', a general designation for a god, a divine entityπŸͺ¦ sacerdotal/priestly (P): from the oral and scholastic traditions passed down by clergicalsπŸͺ¦ deuteronomist (D): from the dictated law of moses, in the book of deuteronomyits canon, as we know today, gained its complete form around V b.C.

its canon:

πŸ“• the book of genesis
πŸ“• the book of exodus
πŸ“• the book of leviticus
πŸ“• the book of numbers
πŸ“• the book of deuteronomy
