God's name?

[Oak of Justice]

Funny how when I make a search of the bible in all translations the name Yahweh or Jehovah does not come up in the new testament. Guess Jesus didn't think the Fathers name was either of those.

Like I said the name of the Lord is a mystery to sinners but to the righteous it is clear.

Psalm 86:11 Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name.

Funny how when I make a search of the bible in all translations the name Yahweh or Jehovah does not come up in the new testament. Guess Jesus didn't think the Fathers name was either of those.

Wasn't Jesus well educated in the Hebrew OT Scriptures that by age 12?
Jesus could knowledgeably converse with the elders. [Luke 2 vs 42-52]

That would mean that Jesus knew the Tetragrammaton [YHWH] the 4 letters that stood for God's name.

Jesus taught that God's name [YHWH] should be hallowed, made sacred, sanctified.

See: John [17 vs 6,26] Jesus manifested God's name and declared God's name and 'will declare God's name'.

In the Hebrew OT Scriptures translators often replaced the Tetragrammaton with LORD in all upper case letters. Whereas Lord [not in all capital letters] stood for Jesus. [Psalm 110v1]

In the Christian NT Scriptures the translators replaced the Tetragrammaton with 'the Lord' and the title God. That does not mean the Tetragrammaton is not in the Christian Scriptures but just that the translators did not use it.

Yhwh(Jehovah) is Jesus,s God- rev 3:12--- and after he hands back the kingdom( kingship) Jesus will become a subject to his God and Father like all created beings are. Which proves this is truth-psalm 83:18--- God has always made his name known-- and as it brings out in Ezekial when Gods name is put back in its rightful places--it says this at least 20 times--- They will have to know that i am Jehovah.

You misunderstand because God has hidden His name from those who do not keep His word and His ways.


It is written; "Keep the ways of the Lord by doing what is right and just."

"Keep the commandments of the Lord by walking in His ways and revering Him."

(Father)"I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

I know the Lord and I keep His word.

 

[URAVIP2ME]

In KJV Bibles 'keep the ways of the Lord......' LORD is often in all upper-case letters.

The LORD in all capital letters is where the Tetragramaton [YHWH] stood.

So, LORD/Lord are only titles not a personal name.

Who are the two [2] LORD/Lord's of Psalm 110 v 1 ?

God inspired his personal name to be in the ot nearly 7000 times-- it was the act of wicked men to remove it and replace it with-GOD-LORD) God put it there because he wants it there.

Does the christian god have a name?

Well there are a number of names: El, El-shaddai (Hebrew), The Ancient of Days (Hebrew origin, I think), the First cause, the Unmoved Mover (Greek Philosophy), Arche Anarchos (Patristic Tradition), Lord, Father, I am ... it depends on who you ask.

Or is he always referred to as god, heavenly father, etc.?

Father is the best way ... Abba

I know it's a queer thought, but isn't it a bit sad to be called by the role, though?

Depends on the role? The term 'father' designates a relation, not a role. My kids (who call me dad) once asked how I felt about being called Tom. I said Tom is nothing special, anyone can call me Tom, but only my kids can call me dad ... that's something special.

I guess christians consider him as the only ultimate one, not requiring to be distinguished further by any name, but I wonder if god himself feels sad to be called by the role by everyone all the time.

Another good reason for no names is to avoid over-anthropomorphisation ...

Maybe the faith can get more personal if god could be called by some name.

No name more personal than Abba.

Re your later point on 'jealous God' and so on ... there's quite a detailed explanation of the genres of Scripture in the (Catholic) Christian Tradition. Also Dionysius the pseudoAreopagite (St Denys in the East) explains in detail how such predications are indicative, and not determinative. The words 'jealous God' should stop you and make you think: "How can God be jealous?" Answer: "God can't ... so what is Scripture trying to tell me?"

There is also a theological view that the name given to Moses on Sinai "I am that I am" is not a name, but a roasting! They have followed me this far, and now they're asking my name? And how the heck do they think I have a name? Can they comprehend the mind of God, then what use is a name? ... so there is an exegesis that 'I am that I am' is a designation, that God is, whereas everything else is contingent ...

The words of Christ to St Catherine of Sienna give us something to think about: "I am He Wo Is, you are she who is not... "

God bless,

Tom, how are titles names?

The Tetragrammaton [YHWH] is not a title but a personal name.

KJV Bible: What is God's name according to:
Genesis 22 v 14 ? __________
Exodus 6 v 3 ? ___________
Psalm 83 v 18 ?___________
