["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
