The Greek word προσκυνέω means to worship by bowing down in a prostrate position.

He knows. He is making a make a willing choice to ignore it.

I think it would be useful for the NT translations (and Greek?) to mark the NT quotes of OT passages having Yahweh with an indicator of or just direct use of Yahweh or YHWH. Maybe the drawback would be that other passages also imply Yahweh but are not a quote of the OT. This idea then would not be perfect. Okay. Just as a footnote.

We can see from the NASB in several places where its YHWH in the OT and Paul quotes the passage in the N.T. using Lord and applies it to the Son- Jesus Christ. Romans 10:8-17 is a great example in the NASB.

the NASB follows the convention of translating the Greek word kyrios (Lord) where the Old Testament text quoted or referenced the Hebrew name YHWH. The Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, replaced YHWH with the Greek word kyrios ("Lord")

Bible Gateway passage: Romans 10 - New American Standard Bible

YHWH is fabrication that has its origins in a people that rejected God. They so lost contact with "Jehovah" that they fabricated the nonsense of YHWH. Ironically such has its origins in Greek. Not Hebrew.

The "name" of God isn't really the issue. It is how people approach God. I think you've probably experienced this in your life. When someone learns your name, they think they know you. That is what the "vain" aspect of using God's name haphazardly./ "in vain".

Adam named many things. God knew what He created differently than Adam knew them/it. Adam/man has spent their entire lives trying to know what God knows without asking Him to teach them. I tell people all the time, if you want to know what I think. Ask me. Don't assume anything.

We experience God in our own lives by interaction with others and learning what it means to communicate and how we communicate.

I've been in a very big hurry lately. I've read back through some of my responses and they look terrible. I apologize for being so careless in some of my responses.

Funny, YHWH is literally written explicitly into the original Old Testament manuscripts thousands of times and has remained there for thousands of years and you're calling it a fabrication. You are the only person I have ever seen say this and I am aware of no scholars who agree with you. What you're pushing is a very fringe doctrine and it looks antisemitic almost.

I know why you are denying this, though. Because God being named YHWH is a very problematic issue for the deity of Jesus. Jesus isn't named YHWH nor ever called that in all of Scripture.
