God's Name is God

[Muffled]

God goes by a couple of names. Yahweh is one and Ayeh another. He also refers to himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. god is generic word for gods but when we use the generic we capitalize it to mean the one true God. That is also true about Allah. That is a generic word for god in Arabic. The Canaanites had the generic word El for gods but they did not necessarily know the one true God.

...And I've been addressing him as Schlomo all this time.
O well, he's a good sport.

Is that from Shalom because he is my peace?

The translators of the KJV understood God's only personal name as "Jehovah" (Ps. 83:18, KJV). So it, like "Jesus," "Joshua," "Joseph," and many other personal names became a part of the English language. The KJV translators, for whatever reason, acknowledged this personal name of God in only a few places, but "translated" the remaining 6000 or so other places it is found in the OT Hebrew text as "LORD" (which is neither an honest translation or transliteration).

I believe 6000 is a JW myth. Not every reference to Lord can be translated as Jehovah.

"Masoretic Text
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia it occurs 5,410 times in the Hebrew scriptures.[52] In the Hebrew Bible, the Tetragrammaton occurs 6828 times,[2] as can be seen in Kittel's Biblia Hebraica and the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. In addition, the marginal notes or masorah [note 1] indicate that in another 134 places, where the received text has the word Adonai, an earlier text had the Tetragrammaton.[53][note 2] which would add up to 142 additional occurrences. Even in the Dead Sea Scrolls practice varied with regard to use of the Tetragrammaton.[54] According to Brown–Driver–Briggs, יְהֹוָה‎ (qere אֲדֹנָי‎) occurs 6,518 times, and יֱהֹוִה‎ (qere אֱלֹהִים‎) 305 times in the Masoretic Text." - "tetragrammaton", Wikipedia.

Or, if you don't trust any of these sources, you could find Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible. Under "Lord," part 5. start counting most of the uses of YHWH which are rendered as "LORD" in the KJV. Then go to part 7. which lists the uses of "Jah" which are rendered as "LORD" in the KJV Bible. Add them together with all the words rendered as "GOD" part 5. and you will see how many uses of YHWH were in the OT Hebrew text used by the KJV translators.

"Father" is a title or description. It is not a personal name. I called my father "father," "dad," "papa," etc., but his only personal name was "William" (or abbreviated form, "Bill").

Our heavenly father has many titles/descriptions, but only one personal name: YHWH (abbreviated form "Yah") in Hebrew transliterated into "Jehovah" (or "Yahweh") in English. Look up Psalm 83:18 in the KJV.

Oh well. I kind of like my descriptive name. I don't think of God as personal, so a description seems fine. Different strokes.

It follows the Jewish tradition of not casually using the divine name, and substituting "Lord" when you read it in the Hebrew texts.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses, of whom the poster is one, believe that the Jewish tradition regarding the tetragrammaton is a superstition that arose out of false manmade interpretation. They believe that the Jewish tradition is not only unnecessary, but that it is contrary to biblical teaching and insulting to G-d.

(If I have misstated the JW position I am sure I will be corrected.)

Interesting, but I suspect that @IndigoChild5559 was suggesting that, for many, "Mark 7:6,7, KJV" is no more authoritative than some snippet from Shakespeare.

There are two pieces to the puzzle, Watson. The first piece is the motivation of the poster with the AA Milner obsession who quoted Christian scripture to a Jew. The second piece is the parsing of that Jewish woman’s response. I suggest that with the Baskerville matter still confronting us, we simply observe the two and see how it plays out.

Now if you would be so kind to fetch my pipe, my violin and the needle - the one for my phonograph, vinyl’s back!

God's Name? is that to "WHAT" he is vs "WHO" he is in Name. titles identify "WHAT" he is and not who he is. understand, titles are not who the person is in Name, but "WHAT" they are in name.

now, the personal Name of God as to "WHO" he is in Name is "JESUS".. for he is both LORD, and Lord in TIME, ORDER, PLACE, or RANK.

I used to have a cockatiel named Bird. The WHAT was that he was a bird. The WHO of his name was also bird.

I'd like to suggest that God, in addition to being a title, is also the defacto name of the God of Abraham in English.

This does not vanish the fact that this same God does have a specific name in the Bible -- spelled yad hey vav hey (YHWH).

God is only a respectful title to be bestowed upon a most blessed one upon high. God was never intended to be a name.

I take it as one whenever I am making love.

Oh, I don't think God cares by what name we address him. He only cares that we DO talk to him.
