I've been getting the impression, by way of continuous barrage, that many seem to think (and I'm saying it SEEMS that they think this given their staunch refusal to render biblical, Hebrew names in our English) that by trying to always utilize the Hebrew names of the various people of renown, such as the prophets (both major and minor), the Messiah, etc., that they are therefore coming across as being more "spiritual" than others who stick mainly to the English pronouncements of all those names.
Some have looked at me with curious expressions, seemingly to see if I showed any signs of being impressed with the practice. I hope I betrayed no such impression to them or anyone else, because names have historically had various pronunciations from language to language. Nothing new about that. I don't see anyone as being more spiritual with the language they utilize to refer to various items from the Old Testament.
Have y'all had such interactions?
