Did Jesus ever say that his father's name was Yahweh?

Question

What if he was talking about someone else?

Answer 1

In the OT when Moses or Abraham asked God His name it sounded like the wind. and was translated as I AM. It was against the rules to say His name and so it had no vowels. The scripture you are interested in I am just sure is John 18:6. The guards have come to pick Him up for the crusifiction later. They ask Him to identify Himself and He uses this same word God used in the OT and when He says it, it has such power they all fall backwards. So who was He in close contact with?? Often when He explained as He prayed out loud that it was for the benefit of those who heard Him, not the life He was talking with. There is a relationship here nobody truly understands and your question touches on that. My guess is that it is a relationship not able to be described in words.

nice question, not angry or disrespectful

Answer 2

Jesus was supposed to know the name of God. However, it is something that in the latter years of His life, all he could utter was the word "Father" meaning he lost it along the way. Your hunch is not negative and it needed an understanding why he lost it. Go to this website.....www.thename.ph...it will give you the answer you need. Just have the patience reading it through a long process.

Answer 3

the prophets of YHWY spoke of Jesus. Jesus fullfilled those prophecies. doesn't he refer to his Father as being the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? the whole point for somene to say that is for identification.

also anywhere in the english translation of the Bible the name YHWY has been translated into the word Lord. this is for reference of his name. so yes he probably did use that name specifically.

good question though.

Answer 4

When YHWH is referred to, YHWH is Jesus. Since God's word has been added to; it may be hard to discern that without 'cleaning up' the mess that has been done to God's word!!

May you receive a pleasant surprise today, Glory to God.
Peace Be With You.

Answer 5

Yahweh (actually YHWH) means "I am that I am".

Jesus said

I am the good shepard
I am the door
I am the vine
I am the way the truth and the life
I am the resurrection

He also said me and my father are one

Answer 6

Throughout the writings provided to us (which do not give ALL the words of Christ) he refers to "My Father" or "Your Father in Heaven". However, most Jews of my acquaintance (and I was told at one time by my best friend this was proper) do not refer to G-d by name and instead refer to Him by titles such as My Lord or Adonai or Elohim

Answer 7

In Hebrew, God's name is represented by YHWH. In English, we pronounce it as Jehovah, although we do not know the exact pronunciation. At Luke 4:8, Jesus told the devil: "It is written: "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service." Here he was quoting Deut. 10:20 where the divine name appeared.

Answer 8

John 18:4-6 4Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"

5"Jesus of Nazareth," they replied.

"I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

The word used here is I AM the title that God gave himself. Interesting that the name of God when spoken by him is so powerful.

Answer 9

He very well could have, but that was how many of thousands of years ago, I guess we will bnever really know the answer untill faced with him.

Answer 10

Since Jews don't pronounce the name of G-d, He wouldn't have said that.
