God doesnt have a name. One of jesus disciples asked gods name and he said his Father's name (not Jesus) is I AM. Jesus is not god. Making him god is trying to define a god that does not want to be defined. Jesus obeyed the laws of Moses. He didnt say disregard them. He summed them up not replaced them.
Its alright if you want to believe jesus is god to connect to him. Jesus taught that you connect to the father; and you do this by his father's son/Word/message-er.
God is not an intermidiary of himself. I read scripture. god has no name. If you dont believe the jews thats like spitting jesus in the face because thats his heritage. His family. In Psalms it talks about respecting ones ancestors that came before you. If you want to follow "the calf" so bem Jesus taught against that.
"Yahweh" is a form of 'I am'. It is His Name.
What if I say after multiple language and dialect transfers Shiva became Yehowah.
It won't. The name is not translated. It's just Yahweh in every language.

I am, is not a name. Why do you need a name for your god? Why dont you have a relationship with god without needing to define him?
Jesus said He is the Almighty.? Sooooooooo.....you just going to deny that.? And Jesus is God name according to Isaiah 9:6 'For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.' So you just going to ignore this right.??
Why don't your mom just call you seed.? ( if you not the only child ) All your brother and sisters will turn around because they are seeds. So your mom name you. Just like God, Father can't be His name because satan is a father also. A father of lies. Mmmmmmmmmmm
Then this name as it is, should be present in in every ancient scripture , every ancient religion.
I didn't say translated , but dialect change , as sometimes Yahweh becomes Jehovah

No it doesn't, 'Jehovah' is a b*stardisation of 'Yahweh'.
Yahweh is God's name, the scripture verse says so. He can name Himself whatever He wants.
God has 3 names---Elohim, Jehovah and Adonai. El-Elyonis a title.
When you see "God" in the Bible it is "Elohim." Elohim comes from a root that means "to swear." From this name we see God's covenant relationship with man. God's covenant relationship with man speaks of His love. It is the only name used in the creation account. By His covenant relationship; with man, He can't leaved His creation in a fallen state. Because of His love for us, He can never leave or forsake us.
Elohim is a singular noun with a plural ending. It established the Trinity by pointing the the US and OUR in Genesis 1:16.
When you see LORD, in all caps, it is Jehovah. Jehovah comes from the verb to be and means One who is what He is. It was translated to Moses as "I AM THAT I AM." Jehovah speaks of the expression of His being---Holy, holy holy is the LORD of hosts(Isa 6:3). IMO. the 3 holies also points to the Trinity.
Jehovah reveals God as Truth. The trutn not so much the being of God as the expression of His being. It showst hat One who is love, is also righteous and holy and therefore must judge evil. It is the One who requires His likeness in His people---You shall be holy for I AM holy.
When you see LORD in the Bible, the emphasis is on the law(Ex 7:6).
Actually both put us under the law and both love us. The first commandment in the Bible with a penalty for disobedience is 2:16 is from the LORD God. We put our children under the law of don't play in the street, eat your vegetables, brush you teeth, etc. out of love.
When you see Lord, not in all caps, it is Adonai. It means master and expresses a personal relationship between God in heaven and man on earth. This realtionship is similar to a man and his wife, where the man is responsible for his wife's well being. This name calls us into the closest and most enduring relationship to Himself---Husbands love your wife, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis

Jesus is the high prophet who has been given the authority from his father to speak in his father's name. His being human doesnt take away from him having the divine nature of god. He is called these things because he is the only mediary to his father.
It is more common sense and not ignoring the prepositions in scripture. If you read scripture and focus on the prepositions by your claim that scripture contradicts all scripture that separates jesus crom being god.
His disciples called him divine names because they looked to him to know the father. Jesus got angry because they were not understanding the way to the father is through jesus. NOT I am god.
"Why do you call me good" he says remembering off hand (out the house) "the only one who is good is god almighty" I will get scripture later.
"Thr only one who knows is the father. I know not the day and hour"
"Look this i my SON"
There is no "Im my own grandpa" in this. Many people call jesus by title lord, god, master because the son always takes from the father.
You can call jesus god by title but he is NOT god the father.

Um god cannot be compared in scripture by a mother. You are trying to define someone who cant my his nature cannot be defined. Mainstream christianity is the only one who does this. Why would I believe mainstream christianity when other denomi have concrete support and other GOA faiths recognize god as an entity that is beyond definition.
Youre limiting god

I am is not a name. Christians can call god whatever they want but they do not define god. They are not special and are not the only ones who believe in the god of abraham.But they are the only ones who define god by name and by a human. Thats idoloism. I side with the Jews on this.

No, the tetragrammaton is third person singular.
God has a name for future angels and humans to know. He's unwilling to give out His name right now to subject to human blasphemy. He only said that "I am who I am". The only name which is legitimately made known to humans is Jesus.
Matthew 12:32 (NIV2011)
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Receiving insults from humans is part of His first journey. He did so for the salvation of humans. He will have a new name after all are accomplished.
Revelation 3:12 (NIV2011)
The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.
