Is the Creators Name really YAHWEH?

Question

If so, who changed it and why?

Answer 1

It used to be YAH....HO.
But then he left the meat market scene with the chick Mary and changed his name to hide from the paparazzi and...well that's a long story.

But DJ's still tribute him to this day in the clubs by yelling out every night over the microphone YAH ...HO....YAH...HO!

Answer 2

No. As the Hebrews knew, the Name of the Lord could not be uttered or pronounced with the mouth. So it cannot be written either.

It is a Holy Vibration known only within you. It is the Christ which comes 'in the Name of the Lord' as the Seventh Angel/Prophet.

He gives The Word. Yahweh is a corrupt pronounciation of the Sacred Name which cannot be uttered. So, all those who think they know the Name, they do not.

The Sacred Name of God is an experience of that Vibration.

Answer 3

The Creator name is abbreviated YHWH,called the Tetra gammon.The people in the olden days were superstitious and left out the vowels of His Name,so we can't say absolutely.If there is a Hebrew scholar out there from Jerusalem who knows old Hebrew.?

Answer 4

Who is Yahweh?
Yahweh is the name, in Hebrew, that many Bibles show as THE LORD.
Yahweh is the Creator. (Jehova)

Chistians and Jews both believe this is the name of God in Hebrew

Answer 5

Taken from YHWH (vowel sounds added for our pronunciation.) Same as Jehovah. No one knows the true and correct way to pronounce it. When we get to heaven we can ask Him directly and the mystery will be solved.

One answerer said it was another form of Jesus--she was confusing Yahweh with Yeshua. Yeshua=Joshua=Jesus.

Answer 6

That's the name he gave to Moses. I doubt he has a 'real' name, just a name that he goes by in his interactions with humans. And yes, it is the ineffable name, but we do not say it because we are not able to use it without defiling it.

Centuries of scholarship, comparison of transliterations (in Latin and Greek, Aramaic, etc.) have led to the unanimous conclusion amongs scholars (you know, the guys who study the Bible for a living) that the Tetragrammaton YHWH (yod-he-vav-he) was pronounced as Yahweh. Biblical Hebrew DID have the W-sound. The Hebrew letter vav was originally this W-sound. Only much later did it become a V-sound.

Answer 7

Yahweh is the Jewish term for the tetragrammation, which is the name of God.

The english term for the tetragrammation is Jehovah.

Long story why things changed as far as God's name is concerned, but it started with Jewish superstition that God's name is to holy to pronouce.

God's Name will be known.

Answer 8

I think his name is less about a "label" or prescribed "word" and more about a meaning. In Exodus, God refers to himself, while speaking to Moses, in the terms of the Hebrew words "Ahyh Asr Ahyh". These words are where they get the modern idea for calling God "The Great I AM". He says, literally, "I will be what I will be" or "I am what I am."

But this is not a name. This is an idea.

It is the fundamental equation for all existence, as a matter of fact. God is literally saying "I am existence itself". God is life. And that's what his name is.

I imagine that ancient hebrews decided to not refer to God in confusing terms by saying "the I WILL BE said such and such". Instead, the chose the word YHWH, meaning "The ONE WHO IS", so it flowed more easily, and they could say "the ONE WHO IS said such and such."

YHWH is actually a derivative of AHYH. "THE ONE WHO IS" vs. the "I WILL BE" or "I AM".

Hope this helps!

Answer 9

nope. the anglicized "yahweh" is a pi$$-poor translitertion of the four letter name of god. but we don't have the acurate vowels and vocalization and biblical hebrew didn't have the W sound...

Answer 10

No, Yahweh is another version of Jesus.
