Yahuah did not tell Mosheh to strike the rock of Horeb. Yahuah told him to speak to the rock, but Mosheh was angry because the people would rather be in slavery than free. Mosheh ruined being in the land of Yisra'êl by hitting the rock instead of speaking to it. Mosheh was a leader and thus held to a higher standard than everyone else. Aharon was the only one to worship the cow and live. He created it out of fear of being murdered by the people. And now all those tribes are in exile slavery where they wanted to be in the first place. More glad than a pig in poop. The people refused to follow Yahuah even when a leader of a state in Babel tried to force them to keep it. How stiff necked are we going to be now? Worshipping idols and calling on them like they are the creator. 14,000 times does Yahuah say to keep His Torah and respect His Name and yet it is the most disrespected command in all of Scripture! People would rather worship Ba'al Gad instead of Yahuah and when you show evidence while they talk of their commentary, they cry wolf. How dare I pull out all the stops? How dare you stand on the side of sin and call yourself righteous. No one is saved until after they die and as a taught one, you are obligated to show me your belief by your works! Otherwise you're no different to an unbeliever.

My thinking is that he truly believed that he was creating an image of Father and the only image he could come up with was the same image that was used in Egypt, a calf. This was the only experience of religion he had to go by as he grew up in Egypt.
The same way, we might be thinking that we are worshipping Father in spirit and in truth, but are only imposing our view of worship on our service. We might be just as sinful has Aaron was in making the calf, but we are forgiven as our knowledge is limited and we don't know any better.
I know that the old Persian religion is still kept alive, but haven't heard of Baal worship being practised in modern times.
If you are referring to naming conventions then:
We are instructed to keep Father's name holy. ✔ So we don't use it repetitively, or obscenely or ascribe an attribute to Him which isn't His or to another which belongs to Father.
Are we however instructed on which titles to use or how to pronounce His name? Nope. There is no Scripture on this and if there is no Scripture then it by its nature is not sin as Father would have addressed it in the laws and statutes.
If I think otherwise then I am saying that Father was either not planning to make different languages and therefore planned for this scenario or not wise enough to keep His Name's pronunciation the same in all languages and across time if He so willed it.
I am sure that if the 7 day cycle could be kept in place over the ages then Father could have built it into all humans to only pronounce His Name in a specific way; if it was His plan.
I read 2 Tim. 2:14 this morning:
"Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarrelling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen."
So, this will be my final response to any posts that illude to there being any sacred pronunciation of names or titles.
