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

Does it matter how we say God's name? There is a ton of different doctrine out there. I personally believe it matters. In fact the third commandment says not to "take His name in vain" or in other words, treat it as unimportant. What if His name was substituted for a false name, and the church was deceived.

Since this is The Garage - where men can be men, I have a statement to make. Jesus is not the name of the Savior and I can prove it using The Strong's Concordance and ancient scripture. Basically any Greek or Hebrew texts before the 1500's have a different name in there. I'd like for anyone with a pair of balls to confront me in love. I am not an atheist. I believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. I just don't believe our current Bible translations because they have removed the God's name (written YHWH) and replaced it with "LORD".

Anyone with a pair in here? I have put my evidence online (Link removed by RTCrusgi for review.)
I would love your feedback, because in the end, I just want to be right before the Creator, in all sincerity and humility. I would listen if someone could prove the evidence wrong.

Thanks men,

Scott

Hello brother Scott greetings,
Yes, name does matter, if you do not know the name of God Jesus is right when he says in John 8:19 They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.

But I don't believed that his name originated in Hebrew language, because history show that this language exist only as estimated about 10th. Century BCE.

As per record manifested in the Scripture in Genesis 4:26 And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of LORD.

Hebrew was a language speak by the tribe of Judah, son of Jacob which is fourth in genealogy of Abraham so it will be impossible to son of Adam Set and Enos to call the name of God in Hebrew name which has yet to exist.

Thank you and God bless.
your brother in Christ.

Hello servantofyah greeetings,
During Pentecost day when the Holy Ghost appear to the apostle and believers of Jesus and gave gifts to speak in tongues, there are about 17 languages that the Spirit uttered and Hebrew was not among them.

This prove Hebrew language is not of more importance than any other language of man.

The name of God was lost when God confused the language of man in Genesis 11:1, 4, 6-7
11:1 The whole earth had a common language and a common vocabulary.
11:2 When the people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
11:3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” (They had brick instead of stone and tar instead of mortar.)
11:4 Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth.”
11:5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people had started building.
11:6 And the Lord said, “If as one people all sharing a common language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be beyond them.
11:7 Come, let’s go down and confuse their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.” (context NET)

We could know again the name of the LORD when: Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent. (NKJV)

Here is what take place during Pentecost.
Acts 2:4-11 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.
2:5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.
2:6 When this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
2:7 Completely baffled, they said, “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?
2:8 And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language?
2:9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia,
2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,
2:11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!” (context NET)

Conclusion we better have study the Scripture and not withstand with our own understanding.

Thanks and God bless.
your brother in Christ.

Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
And He’s just the same as His lovely Name,
And that’s the reason why I love Him so;
Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.
-Le­la B. Long

There’s within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low,
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
In all of life’s ebb and flow.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest Name I know,
Fills my every longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
-Lu­ther B. Bridg­ers

Can you guess where I fall on this silly non-issue that God might somehow cannot recognize His only begotten Son's name and would, somehow, suspend His Amazing Grace because the Church has been completely ignorant about this until the 21st century?
