Is "Jehovah" God?

Question

I thought it was some kind of fancy imported cheese.

What am I thinking of?

So you're saying that Jehovah's witnesses are not people who testify about having seen cheese?

Boy, now I feel bad about what I said to those well-dressed young folks that came to my front door last week. And I really feel bad about having used the taser on them.

Well, live and learn I always say!

Answer 1

"And I really feel bad about having used the taser on them."

hahaha priceless.

Answer 2

It's a hilarious story. You see, in the original Hebrew, God's name is YHWH (or JHVH if you transliterate it the German way). But it's considered inappropriate to actually pronounce the name of God. So when they started adding the vowels to the Bible, they substituted the vowels for "Adonai" ("Lord"), which is what you're supposed to stay instead.

A few Centuries ago, when Christians scholars started showing an interest in the original languages of the Bible, they learned how to read Hebrew. They ran across this nonsense word that was supposed to be God's name. And they tried to pronounce it!

Ever since, whenever a Christian says, "Jehovah," Jews don't know whether to break out laughing or crying.

Answer 3

It is God's name...God is just a title and he has a name. It is written in the original Bible more then 7000 times however the newer versions have replaced his name with titles such as Lord, Most High, etc, etc. This all came about from some stupid Jewish superstition.

Smart as you may think you may be in this question, understand one thing, Jehovah's Witnesses are probably the only people who actually understand what is going on in the world that surrounds us, have a good understanding of the meaning of life, and can better educate you in religion that most religious leaders. They do not speak on their own behalf, they are the voice of Jehovah, just like Jesus was!

I AM NOT a Jehovah's Witness and for that reason I feel comfortable in responding to your assinine question. As for using a taser on them, that sounds like a typical American moronic remark. Should you ever use a taser on my wife, and remember I am not a JW, I would be happy to pummel you into tomorrow!

Cheers!

Answer 4

Psalms 83:18

Answer 5

The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to approximately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".

(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Answer 6

Jehovah is the accepted english translation of the divine name in the Hebrew scriptures. Nobody knows for sure what the exact pronunciation was, but Jehovah is not translated as such as in different languages, it is translated as would be accepted in that language.
And how did you get to be so funny?
