Who named God? Did he name himself?

Question

... just wondering.... also who created god.. surely he didn't create himself!

Answer 1

The truth is Joseph named him Jesus on the eighth day at his circumcision because an angel told Mary that was his name.

Answer 2

In the bible God claims to have a name unspoken. the word God is our equivelent of a pronoun like he/she/it. God has shared wiht me a symbol tha represents God's name and a way of pronouncing it that includes sounds and pauses that I can not make and are unheard by human ears. God did not reveal the origin of the name but it is ancient tradition that names are descriptive words or phrases. For example; if I lived in a hebrew culture my name would sound the same but every one would hear "the one who is God like" Just like the native American who is named "running water".

The Bible does not claim tha tGod created God's self but give no other origin "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God.", "God is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end."

Since God has the power of creation of something from nothing and refers to God's self as "I am" I suspect that at some point pre-history God became self aware/conscience and at that point felt lonely and began the creation of the heavens that progressed to what we have now.

God never speaks of others like God's self only of lesser God's that are of heavenly or human creation.

Answer 3

God is the creator of the earthso before God created the earth there was no earth and no people cheked.
So god dont need to be createt because he was the creator all right and now God is God his name is God because he is the Allmighty and told to Moses" I am what I am". so I hope your Question was answered so dont wonder tooo much take the facts

Answer 4

God has always been. He wasn't created. He has no beginning and no end. it's a very hard concept to grasp i know. he is infinite. the word god is just a language thing. like, who came up for the word for nose or apple? God calls Himself "I am Who I am." in whatever language God uses. of course He speaks them all, but i've always wondered what the language of God is. i'm sure it's not an earthly one, but a wonderful heavenly dialect.

Answer 5

Abraham first mentioned the name in Gen.22:14; Gen.4:26 Says men called upon the name of the LORD.

Answer 6

The language used - I can't speak it.
I think it is tranlated in English to: I AM.
So YES, GOD told his name, which HE had, to Moses.

No human knows anything about GOD, except a few things - and those cause so much trouble because of translations and areas of the planet that are under different human political control.

Answer 7

God has always existed. His name is Jehovah, or Yahweh, the great I AM. He named himself and gave us his name to call on him.

Answer 8

Sorry this answer is so long, i could not answer any other way/

a) Who created God? Hes is infinite without beginning nor end.
b)Who named God? God named himself to the prophets as Jehovah, although this is perhaps inaccurate as this is a latinised version of the name commonly known in English, could be Yahweh but who knows the pronunciation as there are so many languages, however there is only one true language of the truth and that is to acknowledge him as Almighty.



The True God Jehovah. The true God is not a nameless God. His name is Jehovah. (De 6:4; Ps 83:18) He is God by reason of his creatorship. (Ge 1:1; Re 4:11) The true God is real (Joh 7:28), a person (Ac 3:19; Heb 9:24), and not lifeless natural law operating without a living lawgiver, not blind force working through a series of accidents to develop one thing or another. The 1956 edition of The Encyclopedia Americana (Vol. XII, p. 743) commented under the heading “God”: “In the Christian, Mohammedan, and Jewish sense, the Supreme Being, the First Cause, and in a general sense, as considered nowadays throughout the civilized world, a spiritual being, self-existent, eternal and absolutely free and all-powerful, distinct from the matter which he has created in many forms, and which he conserves and controls. There does not seem to have been a period of history where mankind was without belief in a supernatural author and governor of the universe.”

Proofs of the existence of “the living God.” The fact of the existence of God is proved by the order, power, and complexity of creation, macroscopic and microscopic, and through his dealings with his people throughout history. In looking into what might be called the Book of Divine Creation, scientists learn much. One can learn from a book only if intelligent thought and preparation have been put into the book by its author.

In contrast to the lifeless gods of the nations, Jehovah is “the living God.” (Jer 10:10; 2Co 6:16) Everywhere there is testimony to his activity and his greatness. “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.” (Ps 19:1) Men have no reason or excuse for denying God, because “what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.”—Ro 1:18-20.

Jehovah God is described in the Bible as living from time indefinite to time indefinite, forever (Ps 90:2, 4; Re 10:6), and as being the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, the only true God. (1Ti 1:17) There existed no god before him.—Isa 43:10, 11.

Infinite, but approachable. The true God is infinite and beyond the mind of man fully to fathom. The creature could never hope to become equal to his Creator or understand all the workings of His mind. (Ro 11:33-36) But He can be found and approached, and He supplies his worshiper with all that is necessary for the worshiper’s welfare and happiness. (Ac 17:26, 27; Ps 145:16) He is ever at the zenith of his ability and willingness to give good gifts and presents to his creatures, as it is written: “Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of the celestial lights, and with him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow.” (Jas 1:17) Jehovah always acts within his own righteous arrangements, doing all things on a legal basis. (Ro 3:4, 23-26) For this reason all of his creatures can have complete confidence in him, knowing that he always abides by the principles he establishes. He does not change (Mal 3:6), and there is no “variation” with him in the application of his principles. There is no partiality with him (De 10:17, 18; Ro 2:11), and it is impossible for him to lie.—Nu 23:16, 19; Tit 1:1, 2; Heb 6:17, 18.

His attributes. The true God is not omnipresent, for he is spoken of as having a location. (1Ki 8:49; Joh 16:28; Heb 9:24) His throne is in heaven. (Isa 66:1) He is all-powerful, being the Almighty God. (Ge 17:1; Re 16:14) “All things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him,” and he is “the One telling from the beginning the finale.” (Heb 4:13; Isa 46:10, 11; 1Sa 2:3) His power and knowledge extend everywhere, reaching every part of the universe.—2Ch 16:9; Ps 139:7-12; Am 9:2-4.

The true God is spirit, not flesh (Joh 4:24; 2Co 3:17), though he sometimes likens his attributes of sight, power, and so forth, to human faculties. Thus he speaks figuratively of his “arm” (Ex 6:6), his “eyes,” and his “ears” (Ps 34:15), and he points out that, since he is the Creator of human eyes and ears, he certainly can see and hear.—Ps 94:9.

Some of God’s primary attributes are love (1Jo 4:8), wisdom (Pr 2:6; Ro 11:33), justice (De 32:4; Lu 18:7, 8), and power (Job 37:23; Lu 1:35). He is a God of order and of peace. (1Co 14:33) He is completely holy, clean and pure (Isa 6:3; Hab 1:13; Re 4:8); happy (1Ti 1:11); and merciful (Ex 34:6; Lu 6:36). Many other qualities of his personality are described in the Scriptures.

His position. Jehovah is the Supreme Sovereign of the universe, the King eternal. (Ps 68:20; Da 4:25, 35; Ac 4:24; 1Ti 1:17) The position of his throne is the ultimate for superiority. (Eze 1:4-28; Da 7:9-14; Re 4:1-8) He is the Majesty (Heb 1:3; 8:1), the Majestic God, the Majestic One. (1Sa 4:8; Isa 33:21) He is the Source of all life.—Job 33:4; Ps 36:9; Ac 17:24, 25.

His righteousness and glory. The true God is a righteous God. (Ps 7:9) He is the glorious God. (Ps 29:3; Ac 7:2) He enjoys eminence above all (De 33:26), being clothed with eminence and strength (Ps 93:1; 68:34) and with dignity and splendor. (Ps 104:1; 1Ch 16:27; Job 37:22; Ps 8:1) “His activity is dignity and splendor themselves.” (Ps 111:3) There is glory of splendor in his Kingship.—Ps 145:11, 12.
