God's name is surprisingly despised by many Christians preachers.

What is God's name? Is it God, GOD, LORD, Creator, etc? If you are one of the many who claim to be Christians, then we must be talking about the God of Israel. The God written about in the Old Testament or Tanakh to the Jews.

Does he have a name?

Yes.

According to this website. God's name is Jehovah. However, there is much dispute about this claim by opponents of Jehovah's Witness adherents. And rightly so, because the letter J with its corresponding phonetic sound does not appear in the modern and even in ancient Hebrew characters. Hence, it is most likely that God's name is not [J]ehovah.

The point here, is that God indeed has a name.






So if it isn't Jehovah, then what is it?

YHVH, so it says on this website. Others even contend IHVH, YHWH, IHWH, or even IEUE as being the correct transliteration. Nevertheless, their claim of the name being ineffable, meaning, cannot be spoken or pronounced, appears to be correct. Nobody seems to be able to say this name correctly.






There are even ones who are quite militant who spread that this name is of an pagan god Yaw, it shouldn't be used at all, according to them, the right name is Lord or Adonai.

I am not going into a full discussion on how wrong these people are right now. Am citing the website as proof that there indeed are people who believe that God shouldn't and that he doesn't have a name, i will be using this later on.

We are aware that there are shorter variations of this name i.e. Yehu, a one time King of Israel who annihilated Ahab's wife Jezebel, among others.

So how is Jehu/Yehu formed if the Yeh/Yah isn't YHVH/JHVH? Should it not have read Adonihu or Lordhu instead?

Another even shorter variation of YHVH is this one:

Now why are we certain that those opposing the existence of this name are wrong?

First and foremost, they admit that the Messiah's name is Jesus.

Now, how did this English name for the Saviour came about when Jesus is not a Hebrew name?

This website states that Jesus, Joshua, and Yeshua are basically the same name. Notice the meaning of this name:

So as you can see, the name which is accepted as the name of Christ by opponents of the Divine Name are clearly wrong. Otherwise the name of Christ would have read LORDsus and not Jesus.

This is nothing new, because even in the first few chapters of Genesis, there appears to be One who omitted God's name.

The contempt for this name is not new.

Remember that the Name was given to the Son:

Hence, i have noticed in the prayers during worship service of the Iglesia Ni Cristo [Church of Christ], there is always praise and worship rendered to the Most Holy Name of God the Father, also to the Son, for he carries the Name. The Name given him by God himself.

Yeshua/Joshua/Jesus means YHVH saves.

Exodus 3:14 'I AM WHO I AM' vs 'I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE'

Most english bibles translate Exodus 3:14 in this manner:

This verse conveniently coincides with the I am in the New Testament from Jesus' speech. See John chapter 8 verse 58. Thereby implying that he is the same I AM in Exodus 3:14, which to their mind proves that Jesus is the God who was speaking to Moses in the second book of the Tanakh.

However, information is now free, especially on the internet. Did God really say I AM in Exodus 3:14? Before we answer this questions, lets take a look at a much maligned alternative rendition of the same verse by a sect which almost every mainstream brand of Christianity despises - the Jehova's Witness. I am not promoting this sect for I do not subscribe to their teachings. Let's see their rendition below.

Interesting indeed. It is quite different from most renditions of English bibles. Trinitarians loathe this version as it takes away one of their proofs that Jesus is indeed God. Most people know that this sect does not agree with a trinitarian view of Christianity. If you look at it from an interlinear translation of the bible from Hebrew to English, you will notice that Jehovah's Witness rendition of Exodus 3:14 is in fact closer to the truth.

What's missing here is the word 'Choose' which appears to be added in the Jehovah's Witness bible. The opponents of this rendition will argue that this does not make sense. What doesn't make sense is the fact that Ehyah which translates to I WILL BE can also be found in Exodus 3:12

Notice how the King James bible renders it just as it is in Exodus 3:12 - I WILL BE and not I AM. So why the change from I will be to I am in verse 14?

To put an end to this argument. Let's take a look at the rendition of the verse in dispute from a Jewish perspective. After all, the first five books of the Old Testament also known as the Torah was handed to them.

So there you are. It isn't I AM at all, but Do you still wish to believe the Lie?
