No, facts are not based on fallacies.
Which doesn't change the fact that God is found throughout (Gen. 15).

The wordplay suggests that the name was associated with religious practice, maybe this practice moved from one location to another?

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
Genesis 15:1, KJV
Nothing about "God" in this verse or any other from the chapter.
No, they're not one and the same, it's an artifact of translation. YHWH is a proper name, but Elohim is plural.LORD or Lord God are just two of many different names of God in Scripture.

I'm speaking only for myself in answering this.I spoke at a funeral yesterday and I mentioned that I worshipped the God of Abraham. I was wrong. I worship the God of Satanist, the God of Hindus, the God of Sikhs, the God of atheists. But I’m curious what made Abraham so important? Of course, in your opinion.
Saying it doesn't make it true. You've got no evidence for Genesis 15.As I said, many names of God in the Bible. All speak to God. And God is found throughout (Gen. 15).

And yet you can't post anything from Genesis 15 to support that.Sure I do. I have (Gen. 15). Just read it.

You're arguing from your interpretation, not from the text.
Sorry, but facts are things that other people can verity, not you religious imaginings.Just read the whole chapter. (Gen. 15:1-21)

Obviously, you fail.All anyone has to do is read (Gen. 15).

(Gen. 15:2) And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
(Gen. 15:8) And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
No, it isn't clear. "God" is typically a translation of a plural Hebrew word, but YHWH is the proper name of a singular deity.It is clear that no matter which name is given God, LORD or Lord God, it is the same God.
Like I said, what you're saying about Genesis 15 isn't based on facts. The written word was corrupted by the scribes, which is arguably the reason why the old covenant was broken.What I have said is based on me being a Christian and believing that the Bible is the Word of God both Old and New Testaments.
In this verse the word "God" is an artifact of translation. The Hebrew word Elohim or its variants which are translated as "God" are not present here.
ויאמר אברם אדני יהוה
Said Abram, Lord YHWH
Same here.
ויאמר אדני יהוה
He said Lord YHWH

I've show that the language used in Genesis 15 doesn't translate to "God", contrary to what you claimed as a matter of fact.You haven't proved anything.
