The Bible NETWork ~ Impacting the World for Christ one post at a time!

I have done several studies on the names of God and they are very rewarding. Please note I have used the name Yahweh rather than Jehovah.

Yahweh-Tsidkenu = Ps. 5:8 He is my righteousness
Yahweh-Shalom = Jn. 14:27 He is my peace
Yahweh-Yireh = Phil. 4:19 He is my provider
Yahweh-Rophe = Jer. 17:14 He is healer
Yahweh-Nissi = Ps. 18:35 He is my victory
Yahweh-Rohi = Ps. 100:3 He is my shepherd
Yahweh-Shammah = Matt. 28:20 He is my Ever Present (One)

These are from a poster in my study where it hangs on a bookshelf.

El Olam = Everlasting God
Adonai or Adonay = Lord

I forget the Hebrew for these
The Amen
The Word

From Revelation 3:14
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God

GaryM,

Nice post.

I wonder why some people render this word as "YHWH". Is that an attempt to make it more like a tetragrammaton? How do most jews read tetragrammaton when they see it in the text?

BTW, for a few laughs, search for "YHWH Apologetix" on YouTube.

Yes, YHWH is intended to indicate the tetragrammaton of the Hebrew text. It is indicated this way by many because the vowels themselves are not provided in the ancient texts. It is the unpronounceable Name and therefore is written in a fashion indicative of this sacredness.

When reading the Hebrew text, most often, one reads "adonai" (Lord) for YHWH, though there are syntactically compound forms which alter this. In other cases (in more conversational manner), Jews may offer "hashem" ("the Name").

Hi All,
According to the Bible, the name of God was used during the lifetime of Adam and Eve, Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
But by the time Moses was born, the scriptures imply that none of mankind still knew the Name. In the Book of Exodus, God commands Moses to tell the people that 'I AM' sent him, and this is revered as one of the most important names of God according to Mosaic tradition.

Then the Lord gives 3rd commandment Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

From then up to present the names of God reaches up to 1001 names yet God sworn in book of Isa 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
In Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

All known given names such as YHWH, YAHWEH, El SADDAI JEHOVAH and many more names does not correspond with Exo 3:13-15 , Isa 59:21 , Act 4:12 much more to Jesus new name in Rev 2:17 & Rev 3:12

So, what is God’s true name?

In human language, we use names to identify members of the same class. There is no other in the same class as God. Entities like Dagon, or Ishtar, or Jupiter aren't in the same class. They are all false gods.

Since there is only one, a name is unnecessary for this purpose. If a name is needed, it is for some other purpose.

A couple of brief comments:
1. When teaching the disciple to pray, Jesus instructed them to begin by addressing God as "Our Father" Matthew 6:9

2. When commissioning the disciples to go to the world and make disciples, Jesus tells them to baptise people in "The name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" Matthew 28:19

3. Other "names" in the NT are descriptive, e.g. "Lord God Almighty"; the "Lamb of God"; the "Counsellor" or still others like "the Father of mercies" and "the God of all comfort" ( 2 Cor 1:3) etc.

I do not think a more specific or personal type of name is given under the New Covenant. Nor do I think we need, or are to use, any such more specific name when addressing God in prayer or when speaking of Him.

Sister Sally greetings,
You wrote:

Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Hallowed means to praise or sacred the Name, how could the apostle praise the name who they don’t know?

To baptize is to preach and how could one preach the Name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit if they do not know the names they will preach.


Agree, but not all descriptive, some is subjective, John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

I will let Scriptures interpret Scripture.


All Scriptures are KJV unless otherwise are indicated.

With respect, "to hallow" means to make holy, to deeply respect ... to treat as sacred. It does not mean to praise, as in to speak praises of.

And the "Name" that we preach? "The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" ... that is His name.
Sometimes we refer to the indivisible, One Lord God who is the Trinity - the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit;
Sometimes we refer to one of those Persons, such as when Paul says, "We preach Christ and Christ crucified."

If we needed to know more, would not it be found clearly in the Scripture? Jesus indeed shows the way to God ... who he repeatedly calls "Abba" or "Father" in the gospel records; through Jesus we can indeed know God and know Jesus as our Lord and Saviour; and are not the scenes you quote from Revelation either about a new name for believers, or possibly in the future? Surely these verses indicate the sealing of believers as belonging to God, rather than bringing any command to discover for ourselves the name which will placed upon these ones by the Lord himself.

Sister Avid,

If "to hallow" means to make holy, to deeply respect ...to treat as sacred, what do you think the apostle could add to make the name of God be holy similar to Jesus prayer to Father and the Father answer him. John 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

I respect your faith and belief for there are many diversities of gift but from one Spirit.

Yes, agree that Jesus want us to know through the Scripture and that is the reason why he call Abba to Father to demonstrate to us how to call the Father. Mark 9:37 & Luke 9:48
Mar 9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
Luk 9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

Yes, indeed I believed we can know more revelation through Jesus and what I quote is a possibility.

Yes, it is through God’s works and not with our own effort and likes.
Thanks and God bless.

All Scriptures are KJV unless otherwise are indicated.

My deepest apologies!

As a moderator, at times I review all new posts for spam and so on, and forget to check what room a thread is in so as to stay out of the Garage. The title of this one just seemed like what I would find in general bible discussions, so I did not even think to check.

So, just to reply to brother Verbatim, I will merely suggest that the Apostles only needed to preach the gospel to reveal the glory of God so that his kingdom will grow. Then more and more glory has been and will be given to him by those who are being saved. I must then leave any further discussion to my brothers in the Lord.

Again, my apologies.

Sister Sally,
I think there is nothing to apologize since the OP is misplaced and must not be in Garage because it is a topic for all to study disregarding of gender. However, we must obey in Forum guidelines. I was very glad to have some discussion with you my sister and mentor during my early days here at the Forum.
Thanks and God bless. Your brother in Christ,
virgilio
