Hello Barnabus,
I have not been here for awhile, so I apologize if this is already known to everyone, but I assume that Barnabus=Barney?
In my mind, it does not matter if God is Jesus, Krishnu, Allah, or Shirley Maclaine. Personally, I could never believe that God would care more about what name I use to call him than what my intentions are as I go through life.
Is it more important to try and do good, to try and be kind, or to use the correct name when I address God?
In our own lives, would we rather have our child try and be the best person that he/she can, or to call us by Dad, Pop, Mom, or Mother? Do we care of our child faces East as he addresses us, or rests on The Sabbath? Or is it more important that our children live with kindness and compassion, that they give and receive the greatest amount of love that they possibly can as they go through life?
