Hence, "G-d is with us." I write G-d in this fashion, because some observant Jews do not feel that His name should be written out except in sacred context, such as a prayerbook. I hope this is helpful.

And rather stupidly, I never imagined that Emanuel Lowi might be Jewish... which now makes more sense as it explains why he is named Emanuel... and why his comments, beliefs and theology are similar to BD and others who I have conversed with off line in the past. There are books in Christian bookstores that talk about all of the different Biblical names of God Either way... I should not have started that sentance with Ironically... It wasn't very nice. Maybe Duane means ( quick to put foot in mouth) ****************************************************************** Can Duane and/or Emanual point me to a source of study for the expressions "God is with us" and "god is my refuge"?
