["Philip Hardy" <technologist1 AT gmx.us>]

Hello.
 My Name is Philip A. Hardy. I have noticed that in most instance in the King 
James Bible where The word BAAL is or any english word(s) that derived from 
the same Hebrew word that BAAL derived from, namley בעל, the original Hebrew 
almost always has "הבעל". This I believe is best conveyed or rendered in 
Enlish as "the owner", "the husband", "the master", or "the lord". Now where 
is found היהוה only once and possibly could be be tranlated "he the life", 
conversley is found הבעל thirty eight times. Now if הבעל can be translated 
"the lord" and the name "יהוה" is not transliterated as is "בעל" but is 
(mis)translated as "The Lord" and Certain persons choose not to "proclaim the 
name" or "Publish the name" as the word says we should, then could it be that 
This is a fulfillment of the prophecy found in JER 23:26-27 "Jer 23:26 How 
long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, 
[they are] prophets of the deceit of their own heart;Jer 23:27 Which think to 
cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man 
to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. wherein 
BAAL is really הבעל "The Lord" or "...as their fathers have forgotten my name 
for "The Lord"."

Any insight, conveyed musings, or constructive criticisms would be welcome.

 Good Day
 Philip Hardy
