The early use of "nomina sacra" indicates a canon was recognized This substitution of Mosaic Hebrew for Greek in the name of God is probably the very beginning point of "nomina sacra". Nomina sacra developed into the Christian era and became almost ridiculous because they would create substitutional abbreviations for other "sacred" things including: God, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Saviour, Cross, Christ etc. While Christians eventually abandoned the practice of nomina sacra altogether, the Jews continue the practice by writing the word God in English as G-D where a dash is substituted for the letter O. Of course the ultimate substitution was provided by the Holy Spirit himself in the 27 books of the New Testament that consistently substitute KURIOS (Greek for "Lord") for YHWH in all Old Testament quotations in the New Testament. Examples of Nomina Sacra abbreviations for special words: Jesus Christ Son God Lord Spirit Savior David Cross Mother (with reference to Mary) Father Israel Man Jerusalem Heaven.

Development of Trinity Doctrine from the Old to the New Testament JW's accept this blindly and believe it. If the Watchtower organization tells Jehovah's Witnesses that since Trinity was not fully developed in the Old Testament, it proves Trinity false, they blindly accept it as true.
