Yes, you are right! continue to study and learn about the bible. It is important that you draw your own conclusions. Remember Jesus said the road to life would be small and cramped, that is don't be surprised that the majority will not accept it, in spite of blatant evidence. You seem to be on the right track, keep your studies up.

In Spanish, yes.The most ancient Bible manuscripts were written in the Hebrew language. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the divine name occurs almost 7,000 times and is spelled with four consonants—YHWH or JHVH. These four-consonant words are commonly called the Tetragrammaton, or Tetragram, derived from two Greek words meaning "four letters." Now the question of accurate pronunciation arises because early Hebrew writing consisted of consonants with no vowels to guide the reader. So whether the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton becomes Yahweh or Jehovah depends on which vowels the reader supplies to the four consonants. Today many Hebrew scholars prefer Yahweh as the true pronunciation.
However, consistency favors Jehovah. In what way? The pronunciation Jehovah has been accepted in English for centuries. Those who object to using this pronunciation should also object to the use of the accepted pronunciation Jeremiah and even Jesus. Jeremiah would need to be changed to Yir·meyah' or Yir·meya'hu, the original Hebrew pronunciations, and Jesus would become Ye·shu'a` (Hebrew) or I·e·sous' (Greek). Hence, many Bible students, including Jehovah's Witnesses, feel that consistency favors the use of the already well-known English-language

For one thing, in which book do you find "Sal.83:18"?
Secondly, in what Hebrew Bible do you find any name that starts with (or has) "J"? That letter is not even represented in the Hebrew alphabet nor language.
THE "Name" is that name known as the Tetragrammaton. It is so Holy that it is unspoken (and was only spoken in the Temple). It usually is not written either, instead such expressions as "HaShem" stand for it.
If people would STUDY the Bible, they would understand how the English word "Jehovah" (or "Jehova") came into existence and why it is NOT God's Name; though it is an English language name for Him. If you read in the A.V. (KJV) or some other translations you will find the word "Lord" printed usually in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS or more often in a Large Capital Letter "L" and then small capital letters "ORD". That is a device the A.V. (and others) used to indicate the Divine Name, the Tetrugrammaton, the "HaShem".

Sadly, trinitarians repeatedly misapply scripture while they insist upon worldly philosophy, Greek paganisms, and quotes from other Babylon-loving Trinitarians to support their unscriptural ideas. By contrast, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures alone quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

satan in his rebellion added the name jehovah to take followers away from the God who is true.
God's real name was Larry Todd Stevenson but He changed it to God and the world back dated it to BC.
and got the world to describe HIM even before He was born
ie it's the reason they said the word existed before God and the very WORD(in times new roman font) became GOD. ie see His old name of TODD in WORD.
also He was said to be the I AM which equals I AIVI sealed together ie as IIII I. and ancient italy called HIM DIO(IIII I .)
anceint germans called HIM GOTT(GOTT = CuTnuTiT)
and to answer the heritics statement that God never came to earth. thats a lie. bible states He comes to earth but is not recoqnized by all. its the story of My life. some have recoqnized Me as both Satan and GOD. thats why New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures states Satan ruled as God. ie Satan, the DEVIL is God.
italians liars will take that to means a bad don ie the bosses are GOD. so some people believe Satan of the abyss succeeded in His rebellion against God the Fatherr. they even use indians to attack LORD GOD. but i guess inferior races gotta stick together.

Actually, it says "YHWH", believed to be pronounced "Yahweh" (with the "h"s pronounced gutturally, like "ch" in "loch" or "Bach"). "Jehovah" is a purely English corruption made by the translators of the King James Version (incidentally, they intended it to be pronounced as "Yehowah", the letter "j" sometimes being pronounced as "y" and "v" was often "u" or "w" - this due to it being Early Modern English, which was somewhat different that Modern English).
"YHWH" isn't God's name, anyway. The word is Hebrew for "I am", it isn't a name. The reason was that God was above having a name. Remember Moses asking him what he should tell Pharaoh God's name was and God replies "I am Yahweh/Jehovah". He is actually telling Moses he has no name, he couldn't be inferior to the Egyptian god who had no name, could he?
