Names of God . . . Lord God, Yahweh, God, Elohim, Allah ?

Question

I feel that when we speak of our Creator and use the various names such as Lord God, Yahweh, God, Elohim, Allah etc. . . that we are really all referring to the same Loving Energy. " Him ", " Her ", Mother Earth, The One, . . . gender does'nt really matter.

My question is . . . How were each of these names ' discovered ' ? How did any particular name come to be discovered by any one person that that the discovered name was shared with others to the point where many would begin referring to the Loving Energy, The Eternal as that one name?

All religions express that " The name we refer to IS the True name " . . . How was that name discovered or revealed that it's known to be the " true " name.

I'm very compassionate and respectful of all paths of religion, faiths, spirituality, non-"believers" . . . so no judgements here.

And before your answer . . . I DO know that the message and heart of what is reflected with God, Yahweh,Loving Light, etc. is the MAIN focus and not name.

.
" Zibardog ". . . You answered " bullshi ". . . I think you took a 'wrong turn' here and you meant to answer " Greeners " question who asked " What do bulls do after they've eaten and need to poop ? ". Don't worry, people take wrong turns here all the time. I'll pass your answer over to Greener...Maybe you've still a chance to get points there for best answer...not here. (Behave yourself . . . (smiles).

Answer 1

GOD’S NAME

The Massorah has a rubric calling attention to these first 4 acrostics. This locks in the name of God according to Hebrew and Biblical scholars. The name also being spelled backwards for Divine reasons, a subject for another time.

Est.1:20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
( shall give to their husbands honour both to great and small ) Hebrew ( Hi Vekal Hannashim Yittenu ) HVHY

Est.5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
( let the king and Haman come this day ) Hebrew ( Yabo Hammelek Vehaman Hayyom ) YHVH

Est.5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
( this availeth me nothing ) Hebrew ( zeH eynennV shoveH leY ) HVHY

Est.7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
( that there was evil determined against him ) Hebrew ( kY kalethaH elayV haraaH ) YHVH

Also a 5th acrostic of “ I am”, ( I am that I am ) Hebrew ( ehyeh asher ehyeh ) Exo.3:14
Est.7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
( Who is he, and where is he ) Hebrew ( huE zeH veeY zeH ) EHYH “I am”

The Massorah has a special rubric calling attention this acroustic.
Psa.96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Hebrew ( Yismehu Hashshamayim Vethagel Haarez ) YHVH

Answer 2

The Bible is inspired of God 2 Tim 3:16. So any other book is not from this source. Psalms 83:18 tells us what Gods Name is. If it is not in your Bible it was taken out. But if you look in older Bibles you are likely to see it. Just recently one prominent religion forbid the use of Gods name and will remove it from the Bible. Why? Because Satan does not want anyone to know the true Gods name 2 Corinthians 4:4. He is the reason for all the confusion.

Answer 3

The name of the Almighty (YHVH) (the word Elohim simply means most mighty. It is not a name) was told to Adam (the man) as they spoke in the garden. The true believers (the line of Shem) were not in Babylon when the languages were confused. When Moses asked the Almighty at the burning bush.... Ha Satan (the adversary) wants to be worshiped. He appears to various people under various names, seeking worship. Most people, since they don't want to be careful, and respectful, are eager to worship the adversary, because he lets them do it their way. Any old way is fine as long as they are worshiping him. The Creator is rather fussy. To worship Him, you must do it His way. That is why so few do. As it was in the days of Noah (Luke 17:26)

Answer 4

The names that people call there gods, are names that have been given by humans, and it does not matter what name is used aslong as a person holds there beliefs to be true

Answer 5

Heaven

blissful upper realm or state entered after death; in Western monotheistic religions it is the place where the just see God face to face (sometimes called the beatific vision). In Judaism, heaven is pictured as the abode of God to which he ultimately welcomes the righteous and faithful. Many Christians believe that after the general resurrection the body of a Christian will be glorified and reunited forever with the soul in heaven. The Roman Catholic church teaches that before entering heaven many souls must pass through purgatory to be made ready. Much of the conventional imagery of the Christian heaven—e.g., golden streets—is based on the Book of Revelation. In Islam, the Qur'an describes heaven in graphically idyllic terms, replete with fleshly delights; but Islam also has a strong mystical tradition which places these heavenly delights in the context of the ecstatic awareness of God. In Zoroastrianism, the souls of the deceased must pass over the Bridge of the Requiter, which widens to allow easy passage for the good, who enter a kingdom of joy and light. In both Hinduism and Buddhism, existence is considered cyclical, making the rewards and pleasures of heaven a desirable but temporary experience; the higher objective is often conceived as a release from any form of rebirth, whether in heaven or on earth.


Hell

Abode of evildoers after death, or the state of existence of souls damned to punishment after death. Most ancient religions included the concept of a place that divided the good from the evil or the living from the dead (e.g., the gloomy subterranean realm of Hades in Greek religion, or the cold and dark underworld of Nilfheim or Hel in Norse mythology). The view that hell is the final dwelling place of the damned after a last judgment is held by Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Jewish concept of Gehenna as an infernal region of punishment for the wicked was the basis for the Christian vision of hell as the fiery domain of Satan and his evil angels and a place of punishment for those who die without repenting of their sins. In Hinduism hell is only one stage in the career of the soul as it passes through the phases of reincarnation. The schools of Buddhism have varying conceptions of hell, usually entailing some kind of punishment or purgatory. In Jainism, hell is a purgatory in which sinners are tormented by demons until the evil of their lives has been exhausted.

Answer 6

i think that mankind has developed the different religions to better suit their own beliefs. for example the 'king james' version of the bible, why is his book supposed to be better than the original? i personally think that believing in the ways of the indians by giving thanks to the earth is closer, because you are giving thanks to the land that supports your life and everything about it. but, back to your question, depending on the time/era and the things that were going on then peolpe needed something/someone specific to believe in, to help them deal with the goings on at that time. that changed and evolved with each culture
