JEHOVAH'S NAME

I shared this in another topic but I think this is the right place ... Regarding whether it is Jehovah or Yawe, I really like Robert King's explanation ... but in case anyone is interested in digging deeper and having scholarly tests, I recommend that you look for Nehemia Gordon or read this blog that happened to you ... just that it is in Spanish and they will have to translate it but it is very complete ... it practically gives proof that it is Jehovah and not Yawe.

Who cares ? Whether pronounced this or that . . . father seems enough . . .it means giver of life.
It's not about how it's pronounced, we don't know exactly how it should be pronounced for sure. Jehovah is the recognized translation of יהוה‎ in English. It's pronounced differently in different languages. What's important is the significance of his name and for it to be made known. Jehovah had the Tetragrammaton put in nearly 7,000 times for a reason, not for it to be taken out and hidden.

Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you, but I know you, and these have come to know that you sent me. I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.” (John 17:25,26)

We come to love God by learning His name and what's behind the name. When we get to know someone, we get to know their personal name. Like Jesus we are witnesses for His name.

The difference is whose attention you would get. My question is why does your opinion matter if it is not your name. The opinion I want is my Creator’s opinion since it is his name. Based on the evidence of him revealing his name by placing it over 7,000 in his word, I think it’s obvious how he feels about it.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed it seems.

At what stage, and in what context do you address and refer to your human father using his personal name?

And then other people's development and conventions may still differ; just a thought.

This is a very profound and very important aspect. Some years back i was reading about an FBI agent who was investigating Satan worshipers. He found an abandoned property. It had an old house and the grounds had some remnants of a stone fence if I recall correctly. Before I mention what he found I want to draw attention to what the angel said when, I forget who it was, John maybe asked the angels name and he said why do you ask but it is a wonderful name or something to that effect. The bible only names one angel unless you include Michael, and that's Gabriel. However, when this FBI agent found this site which was used in Satanic worship, it had stone alters all around and names of different gods inscribed on them in ancient languages. I may have some of the dteails wrong, but the point is Satan and the demons want recognition and the names matter to them. Another example is the name "Lucifer" which is not a name at all but has been embraced by both professed Christians and Satan worshipers as the name of Satan. We do not know the name Jehovah gave to Satan either. Satan obviously rejected that name and has adopted some other name, and you can be sure whatever name he uses is not Satan or Devil, but he doesn't mind being identified that way as long as he gets the attention he desires.

Come on, you're really stretching it. You know better. But nice try as devils advocate

Jesus, although a Jew, and brought up with the over 6000 uses of 'Jehovah' in Scripture, only rarely referred to Him by Name - except in direct quotations from the OT - preferring to use Father instead; He made Jehovah's Name known by what He said and did.
