Jehovah God's name, abuse, a fixation
YHWH: the tetragram
This is a term applied to the four Hebrew letters that make up God's name, as revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14:
God told Moses: "And God said to Moses,: I am who I am, and said: So you will tell the children of Israel, the I AM has sent me to you”.
YHWH forms the basis of the verb “to be “, from which God designated his name as “I AM “.
It is from these four letters that God's name is derived and has been rendered as “the Sir”. The custom of pronouncing God's name was lost, as the Jews, to whom the name was given, they never uttered it out of fear and respect for God.
Because in the Bible we have the word “LORD “instead of YHWH or Jehovah?
The practice of replacing lord with YHWH it began hundreds of years before Christ. The Jews never wanted to risk mispronouncing the name of YHWH out of reverence and also because they did not want to break the commandment it says: “Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave unpunished whoever takes his name in vain” (Exodus 20:7).
Thus the Jews began to substitute God's name (in Hebrew “lord”), which is now “Adonai“. This practice is followed to this day in Bible translations precisely to show respect for the Holy Name. finally, since the initial Hebrew text does not contain vowels, but only the consonants , it is not known exactly how God's name is pronounced. Then, lord is replaced with YHWH .
In Old Testament Hebrew, the word It gave is Elohim. God is also called lord, which is the translation of the Hebrew word Adonai. But the exact name of God that is given in Exodus 3:14 is YHWH, what does it mean “I AM”.
Exodus 3:14:
God told Moses: "I am who I am". Then he said: "You will say this to the children of Israel: “the I AM has sent me to you”».
The four letters YHWH are sometimes written and pronounced Yahweh, a better pronunciation of Jehovah as there is no sound “j” in Hebrew. But we cannot be sure what the correct pronunciation for God's name is.
What is the real name of God? YHWH, Jehovah or Lord?
We do not know the correct pronunciation for God's name, therefore we cannot affirm and insist on our beliefs (like Jehovah's Witnesses do) what is God's true name. however, in Exodus 3:13-14 we read:
Moses said to God: "Here, when I have gone to the children of Israel and told them: “The God of your fathers has sent me to you”, if they say: “What's his name?” what will I reply to them?God said to Moses: "I am who I am". Then he said: "You will say this to the children of Israel: “the I AM has sent me to you“».
Dio says: “the I AM” he's talking about his name, he is therefore not authorizing to pronounce YHWH. In the Hebrew language, language in which this verse was written, the letters are Yod, He, VAV, from which YHWH is derived . These four letters were later loosely and incorrectly translated as “Jehovah”. however, there is no j sound in Hebrew. Then, a better approximation of God's name would be Yahweh.
But a further problem in pronouncing God's name is that the ancient Hebrews did not use vowels in writing. They used only consonants, hence the hypothetical sentence “God's name is YHWH ” such a thing would appear, for example: “l nm d D YHWH” (without the vowels). This problem did not exist for the Jews because they knew how the words in their language were pronounced. Only after many hundreds of years did the Jews insert the vowels in the texts of the Hebrew Old Testament .
But unfortunately we don't know exactly which vowel sounds are the correct ones. however, from the text above God's proper name is “I AM”, not Jehovah, which will transliterate into YHWH.
it is not known what the true pronunciation of the name of god might be,the pronunciation in Italian is definitely JEHOVAH ,and the name of god is important and even if JEHOVAH is not the original pronunciation it must be used because if the pronunciation was important, God himself would have revealed it to us , the sanctification of his name goes to the first place as in the model prayer of the Our Father made by Jesus : our father who art in heaven may thy name be sanctified…
Oh but that's today? The onslaught of Jehovah's Witnesses? But you know that you cannot visit the sites that speak ill of the Watchtower? If they find out there is trouble 🙂 we are Babylon to them! We are satanic 🙂
it is a falsehood that we can not inform ourselves dear lady and I have not written jehovah our sn things invented by you and moreover the true name of god has been taken away for money and avarice informed cm do the jw
jehovah is nothing more than our invention, we had respect and fear that they would pronounce his name of the infidels, think of the times now that many blaspheme God for no reason or just because they don't win the lottery or for whatever happens to them, if they had had his name you know what they would have done with it then when we read the scrolls and found the tetragram instead of his name we read sir Adonai, but then there was the problem that those who knew our language and were not Jewish would have read the correct way and then we resorted to a stratagem only for the name of god we add the vowel signs but not the right ones but the vowels of adonai that is sir and then they read something like jehovah or rather like this jeehowhaa sound that means nothing just a way not to say his original name the meaning of his name is this: that there has always been the same as always what it is. there is no precise term in any language but more or less the meaning is that, then simply translated eternal or lord, unfortunately when they started translating the bible few knew about this invention and they too made a mistake and sometimes they translated also by italianizing jehovah but then they learned about it and then they understood the truth of its name.
In any case this was not his name but one of his many names and attributes that are given to him in addition I can guarantee you that it is absolutely not true that the Jews do not know the real name of God or that name he gave to Moses.’ there is nothing more false, all rest assured that the Jews will never reveal it to you and will invent all the tricks of this world to not tell it. however, for those like me who converted to Christianity they have a more complete idea (not perfect) I can guarantee you that God's name is Jesus’ even if you don't believe that Jesus is God and in the trinity’ of God, I quote you this beautiful part of the new testament:Have the same feelings in yourselves as they were in Christ Jesus,
6 who, while being divine in nature,
he did not consider a jealous treasure
his equality with God;
7 but he stripped himself,
assuming the condition of a servant
and becoming like men;
appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself
making himself obedient to death
and to death on the cross.
9 This is why God exalted him
and gave it its name
which is above any other name;
10 because in the name of Jesus
each knee bend
in the heavens, on earth and underground;
11 and every language proclaims
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. However, I am sure that there is no denomination for absolute perfection, because we all see through a reflected mirror and we will reach perfection when we have Jesus face to face and so Satan enjoys dividing Christians and all Christians wage war against each other through writing, the one using writing comes to one conclusion and the other comes to another . Satan to’ that a divided kingdom is more vulnerable, and in addition he knows that whoever approaches the church of Jesus’ if he sees us divided he will be confused and then in the end he will give up and his love will cool down, and this is the spirit of the antichrist in the world and so we find ourselves : Evangelicals who speak ill of Pentecostals, Pentecostals who call Satan those of the new Pentecost, Reformed who speak ill of Pentecostals and Pentecostals in turn who speak ill of them, then the Presbyterians, the Waldensians, the Reformed, the Reformed, those who believe and confuse God's education with university education and say the one is ignorant and the other says that the other is ignorant, in short, everyone is right and no one is wrong.
the Catholic Church which asserts that only within them is there salvation. the reformed who say that only they have truth and salvation and that others follow satan, jehovah's witnesses who will be saved by themselves, instead I guarantee you that there is salvation in any broken heart that presents itself to Jesus with love and tries to do God's will and not one's own, the holy spirit has no labels when it comes down it convinces in whatever creed you are and in the end it cares that you profess Jesus’ Christ son of God who died in sacrifice for all of us to wash us from our sins and resurrected in the flesh and who does so with a heart broken with charity or love. You can crush the demons Catholics who have charisms and comes from God as the Pentecostals do with the gifts of the spirit as can those who in any confession believe praise and invoke with faith the name of Jesus. whoever does not profess this is the antichrist and you have not noticed it, the war between us Christians and the lack of submission first to their guides and at the same time to God does all this, because if one does not like a concept or does not understand it, he opens a garage and builds a church on his own then in his group they disagree on another thing they find a place they proclaim themselves pastors and build another church, the truth is one and it is Christ Jesus who died for us and this we should understand and unite, do not unify us but unite because we will be his peoples and he will be God with us.
I have studied you at all confessions and almost all and all of you say the same thing, the only ones I regretfully call heretics are Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists, but simply because they do not profess the name of Jesus’ in a clear way and they build legends about him, in addition they have deliberately manipulated the bible to make it say what you want to confirm their theories, but also many Christians, while not manipulating the scriptures, have given interpretations to their liking to make him say what he likes just like lawyers do in trials that study absurd sophisms to try to be right, rather than putting oneself back in the grace of God and seeking explanations in him and submitting to him if he does not want to give it.
In that hour, Jesus, moved by the Holy Spirit, he exulted and said: «I give you praise, or father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent, and revealed them to the little ones! Yup, Father, because so you liked it!
Anyway welcome 🙂 I have this site from 6 years and I have never received any visits from jehovah's witnesses, if not ex! I'm glad your presence here.
In fact he says “OUR FATHER” and not “OUR JEHOVAH”. This fictitious word is totally absent in the New Testament, Jesus never used it! And one turns to God by calling him FATHER or LORD, as the Bible teaches! “Jehovah” it's a made-up word!
