What's god's name?

Question

Most people don't know the answer to this. Do you?

Answer 1

His name is Jehovah....

Answer 2

He has no name. He is a G O D

Answer 3

Because Jews thought his name was too sacred to speak aloud, it is unclear how the name is actually pronounced. There were also no vowels in the Hebrew alphabet, so that makes it even harder to understand how it would be pronounced. It was spelled YHWH, and as mentioned here previously, many people believe it is pronounced Yahweh (prounouced ya-way), though there is no guarantee of that. I've also heard it said that the name, when properly pronounced, actually sounded like a passing breath of air. It is interesting to note that the name YHWH does not appear in most Bibles, but has been replaced the the word LORD. Whenever this word is used in all capital letters in the Bible, it is meant to show where God's name was actually used.

Answer 4

Here we go.

"Jehovah" and "Yahweh" are transliterations of the Hebrew word Yod-He-Vau-He, IHVH. Hebrew is written without vowels, so the exact pronunciation of the name is uncertain. The "true" pronunciation is said to have been the most closely guarded secret of the high priests of Israel, and, if spoken aloud outside the tabernacle, is said to cause the universe to crash into dissolution.

"Jesus," meanwhile, is the Greek adaptation of the Hebrew name Yeheshua or Joshua, Yod-He-Shin-Vau-He, IHShVH.

Now the Hebrew letter Shin, Sh, is called the "letter of the Spirit." The letters of the old name of God, IHVH, are said to represent the four "Elements" - Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Therefore the name IHShVH represents the four Elements impregnated with the Spirit. These facts were used by Renaissance scholars to demonstrate that Jesus was in fact the "Son of God."

In the "burning bush" incident in Exodus, however, "God" tells Moses that his name is "Eheieh" (Aleph-He-Yod-He - AHIH), usually translated as "I AM."

So much for the Judeo-Christian tradition, which is, I'm sure, what you're thinking of in asking this.

Answer 5

Most monotheistic (one-god) religions don't use God's name, itself. For example, Jehovah is a Latin translation of Yahweh, which is a greek translation from YHVH, which in Hebrew is translated "I am who am," (which what God told Moses on the mountain).

Christians call God "Father, Son, and Spirit (or Holy Ghost)." The name Jesus is used to refer to the incarnation of the Son as a human being.

Muslims use "Allah," which means "The God" but is not an actual name.

Latter-Day Saints use "Heavenly Father" often, but this again is not a name.

Answer 6

God has many names, Lily of the valley,Brightest morning star, The Lion of the tribe of Judea are some but it really does not matter what u call Him. He will answer, sometimes u don't have to say a word He will know u need Him and come to ur rescue. I was told that tears is a language God understands well. so it really doesn't matter what u call Him as long as it really is Him ur calling He'll be right there.

Answer 7

God refers to himself as "I am who I am."

Transliterating this to Hebrew creates the letters "YHWH", thus originating the possible name "Yahweh".

Many also believe that this spelling, when written up to down is similar to the shape of the human body, and that God is in all of us.

These people are, of course, nutjobs.
