Do you know the name of God the father?

Question

I know that Jehovah is another name of Jesus Christ.

Answer 1

"Elohi" This is what the name Jesus Pronounced on the Cross and I guess it should be the right name as Jesus Himself acknowledged.

And also when Moses asked what is your name so that I can go and tell my people that this is the name of the God who sent me to redeem you fron Egypt. at this time God told him

my name is "I AM THAT I AM" and go and tell people that " I AM" who sent you to them.

but to clearify this to moses God the father simplyfied it to him and said " I am the God of Abraham, God of Jacob, God of Isaak" .

Answer 2

The name of God, the Father is Jehovah, Yehwah, Elohim, Elshadai, I am that I am and so on. How could you ever imagine or assume that Jehovah is another name for Jesus. Jesus the (Spiritual) son of Jehovah, God the Father. Refer John 8:17 (It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true) and John 8:18 (I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me). In some translations, 'the Father' here is translated as Jehovah. Here Jesus Himself says that He is different from Jehovah, God the Father.

Answer 3

Not according to Billy Graham or Pat Robertson

Answer 4

God the father is not jesus. Jesus always said that he is the son of God.

God(or Krishna) claims in the Bhagavad-gita(14.4), ''It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father".

Srila Prabhupada, founder of ISKCON says as follows regarding father(God or Krishna) and Jesus(son of God).
"The awakening of pure love of God is the ultimate perfection of all bona fide religious principles including Christian, Judaic, Mohammedan, Hindu, etc."

Lord Jesus Christ said that one should love God with all his heart, and soul and mind. Similarly Krishna instructs that everyone should surrender unto Him in Love. Krishna is God and Krishna says to love Him only. Therefore there is no difference between the original teachings of Lord Jesus Christ and Krsna.

Lord Jesus says (John 6:46), “Not that any man hath seen the father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.”
Lord Jesus is the faithful son of God and his Father God is Krishna, so there cannot be any disagreement between them. Therefore the Father and Son are one, in agreement.

Lord Jesus explains that he kept his disciples faithful to the Lord in His Holy Name. And the process of Lord Sri Caitanya is the same—to keep one always in contact with the Supreme Personality of Godhead by constantly chanting the HARE KRISHNA Mahamantra, the Holy Names of the Lord.

Satyaraja dasa(Steven Rosen) wrote a book "Om Shalom", a conversation between Satyaraja Dasa and Rabbi Shimmel.

Satyaraja Dasa (Steven J. Rosen), comes from a Jewish background and has been studying Krishna Consciousness -academically and as a practitioner-for the last seventeen years.

Rabbi Jacob N. Shimmel, a halakhic scholar originally hailing from Prague, Czechoslovakia. A rabbi for over twenty years, and Founder and Director of the Talmud and Torah Beth Rabbinical Association.

Satyaraja Dasa: What are some of the other, authentic names for God as found in the Bible?

Rabbi Shimmel: One of the most prominent is Elohim (“The Almighty”), which occurs about 3,350 times. This is related to the Semitic El (“Divinity”). El can be found in the word Israel. El Eliyon is another related name. These can be found throughout the Bible... all substitutes for the Tetragrammaton... YHWH. Another name, used less frequently, is El Shaddai. Of course, in everyday parlance, we usually say HaShem... this is the commonly used name. HaShem merely means “the Name.”
But, you see, the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, this represents the actual name. It is known as the shem hameforash, or “the explicit name.” This is the one that is honored by the mystics. Each of the four Hebrew letters—yad, hay, vav, and hay—is said to reveal various aspects of the highest reality.

Satyaraja Dasa: There are Indian scholars who have had some thoughts on this. Yadavayah, they say. Another name for Krishna. They say this could be the name... it has the appropriate letters.

Rabbi Shimmel: [laughter] They took their best shot.

Satyaraja Dasa: [laughter] Gross speculation. Ser-iously, though. There is a correlation that can be made between the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and the Tetragrammaton. It may be considered speculative, but there is definitely at least an abstract connection, a correlative feature. The maha-mantra is made up of four connecting names: “Hare Krishna” and “Hare Rama.” Of these four, three are different: you have “Hare,” “Krishna,” and “Rama.” Now, in the Tetragrammaton, you have four letters: the “yad,” the “hay,” the “vav,” and the “hay.” Now of these four letters, three are different: you have the “hay,” the “yad,” and the “vav.” Furthermore, according to Kabbalah, the “hay” is considered feminine. Correct?

Rabbi Shimmel: Yes, that's true.

Satyaraja Dasa: So also is “Hare” considered feminine, since it refers to mother Hara—Radharani. What's more, in the Tetragrammaton, “yad” is considered masculine and “vav” is an extension of “yad.” Is this correct?

Rabbi Shimmel: Yes. And I see what you're getting at.

Satyaraja Dasa: Right. Krishna is masculine and Rama is His expansion. So this seems to be quite coincidental...

Rabbi Shimmel: This is the first. I mean that's quite an interesting way of looking at it...

Answer 5

Hi,
According to Bhagvat Maha Puran:
God is one & rest are followers of Him. Just Like: Bhagwan Vishnu is One, Who Creates, Destroys & Maintains, rest others are followers of Lord Vishnu.
Defining God is like Small kids, who play in a sand, kids make house or any article in sand while playing, later when they are atmost happy or extremely happy, they simply destroy the articles made in sand, for this deeds kids don't feel bad. Like way is Our God. That's why we always keep on saying " Hari Sarvothama, Vayu Jeevothama". This means Lord is Supreme & Everywhere.

Answer 7

In Hebrew it is ELOHIM , in Arabic it is ALLAH. In Arabic Bible, the Words : Allah and Rabb occur thousands of time. Allah and Rabb are also in the Holy Quran's Arabic. The Elohim of Hebrew is Elohi (Elahi) in the holy Quraan. The word 'Jehovah' is differently spelled among scholars; like Yahweh- YaHuwa- YaHoo- . God does not have One Name, but innumerable Glorious Names.

Answer 8

Sometimes it is entertaining to listen to the human opinions of those who have preconceived ideas. However, those who hope to obey God and Christ are better served by an examination of the Scriptures themselves.

The personal name of Almighty God appears nearly SEVEN THOUSAND TIMES in the bible, using four Hebrew characters which are universally referred to as "the Tetragrammaton" and generally considered to correspond to the letters "YHWH". An exact pronunciation of the Hebrew name is unknown, but scholars have suggested "Yahweh" and "Yehowah" as likely approximations. For hundreds of years, that Hebrew name has been translated into English as "Jehovah".


Some trinitarians (such as the questioner, apparently) insist that Jesus Christ the Son is the same person as Jehovah God the Father. However, the bible itself contains several references to Jesus in the so-called "Old Testament" which indicate that he is distinct from the "God" or "Jehovah" of the so-called "Old Testament". It is not enough to simply assert that a doctrine is true, and so Jehovah's Witnesses reason from the Scriptures on the matter...


It seems rather obvious that the apostle Luke at Acts 4:25-27 quotes from Psalms 2:1,2. Although these passages are part of the Christian and Hebrew Scriptures respectively, BOTH passages make it plain that there is an "anointed one" who is distinct from God. The Psalm plains calls that God by the name "Jehovah" (explicitly using the Tetragrammaton) and Acts plainly calls the anointed one by the name "Jesus".

(Psalm 2:1,2) [David wrote] Why have the nations been in tumult and the national groups themselves kept muttering an empty thing? 2 The kings of earth take their stand And high officials themselves have massed together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one

(Acts 4:25-27) David, your servant [wrote], ‘Why did nations become tumultuous and peoples meditate upon empty things? 26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers massed together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one.’ 27 Even so, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of nations and with peoples of Israel were in actuality gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus


Similarly, the apostle Paul at 1 Cor 2:16 and Rom 11:33,34 paraphrases Isaiah 40:13. Note that Isaiah explicitly uses the name "Jehovah" (the Hebrew Tetragrammaton), and 1 Corinthians plainly CONTRASTS the mind of Jehovah with the mind of Christ Jesus.

(1 Corinthians 2:16) For “who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, that he may instruct him?” But we do have the mind of Christ.

(Romans 11:33,34) O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and past tracing out his ways are! For “who has come to know Jehovah’s mind, or who has become his counselor?”

(Isaiah 40:13) Who has taken the proportions of the spirit of Jehovah, and who as his man of counsel can make him know anything?

Answer 9

Jesus said "i am come in my Fathers name" so wouldnt His name be Jesus?

Answer 10

Your god has 72 names, Jehovah is a translation of Yahweh.

The ones I know are Elohim, Adonai, Agala, Eyheh, Yahweh, and a few others, but in Hebrew.

Christs name, divinely, is Yehoshuah.
