Jews do not write or speak G-d's name as a reminder that human speech cannot possibly encompass everything that G-d is. Or isn't.

I think Muslims are acknowledging that same point through their refusal to allow images of Allah or Mohammed.

But Christians define their version of G-d into little pieces. They have no respect for our tradition and blithely type YH--, which proves that they don't understand or even care to.

The names that you've listed are held sacred by different peoples. Even if they are all actually aspects of something we can call G-d, all of them omit much.

Permit me to separate some things here for now. The term in English god, has multiple terms in Hebrew; some singular, some plural.
YHWH, Jehovah, Jesus, and the Lord (not lord); all refer to the same being the Lord Jesus Christ. God the Father is a separate spiritual being.
ay you receive there today a pleasant large surprise!!!

the father makes the plans, the Son contains the plans out and the Holy Spirit holds all of it mutually. look, once you burn up potential to disprove the certainty of the beginning of Christianity you ultimately finally end up interior the primordial miasma that may not something. What approximately John 10:30, " I and my Father are one." Then what related to the only that announces, " the only thank you to the father is interior the direction of the Son." right here look into Philippians 2:5-9, "permit this thoughts be in you that replaced into additionally in Christ Jesus: Who being contained in one in each and every of those God, thought it no longer theft to be equivalent with God: yet made himself of no popularity and took

God is one, without a second. Whatever name we choose to call God, we are referring to the selfsame Supreme Personality of Godhead. Jehovah means "causes to create". God certainly is the cause of all creation. Krsna means "all attractive". God attracts all living beings to Himself. Whatever the language, God is given names according to His unlimited qualities. Therefore, He has unlimited names. No one "owns" God. There is not one Christian God, and a different God for Muslims. God has given His word to all people, according to their capacity to understand. Therefore, a Christian may not understand the Muslim scripture, and the Jewish may not understand the Christian scripture, but God is present nontheless in every scripture.

My teacher, Srila Prabhupada, says that if everyone would just follow the instructions of God contained within their own scripture, then the world would become peaceful. It is due to the disobedience to scripture that people suggest that God is supplying one group with truth and not another. This is also the reason that people give up their belief altogether. These religions are always arguing over who God gave the truth to. In Bhagavad-Gita, God says, "Just give up all these varieties of religion, and surrender to me".

We're talking about monotheism here: one true god. Arguing about whether it is Allah or YHWH or Jumbularumbah is essentially arguing about a name. If there were two or more "real" gods, you could work up an argument. But under these conditions, it doesn't really matter what you call "God".

God's name in English is Jehovah, in Hebrew Yahweh. LORD, GOD, these are just titles. Just like we are men but we have a personal name. The Bible says there are many god's and many lords, but there is only one Almighty God and that's Jehovah, Ps 83:18. (Look in any dictionary).
Jesus is Jehovah's Son.

The muslims believe in a false god, but the jews believe in the real God, only they do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is too God ( John 1:1 and Rev 7:8)
But they do not believe this--however they do believe in the one true God, God of the Old Testament---but salvation is only through Jesus Christ...so until they believe JESUS is our LORD and Savior! and that we can only get to God through Him, they will not know the love of Christ and salvation--nor the grace of God. But Romans 11 also speaks of how the Lord will save a remnant of Israel--will open their eyes to His truth. Yahweh, Jehovah, Jesus, El Shaddai, Adonai, Alpha and Omega--these are all GOD- the one true living God!

Yes, but the Muslims have been deceived by the devil who appeared to the warlord Muhammed in the guise of an angel of light. So though they worship the same Lord, they do not know their ways because the curse of Ishmael is upon them.

It is not so much what WE think, it is what the Bible says that counts. Jehovah and Allah are not the same. If they are, then God is schizophrenic. However, scriptures prove that the coming Messiah was to be God in the flesh. This is contrary to Islam that makes it clear that Allah is god and has NO son.

Here are specific scriptures in both the Tonakh and the New Testament. Quotes are by God, Jesus, disciples and apostles.

A Child is to be born as a man who will be the Mighty God.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Jehovah says that He and the coming Redeemer are eternal.
Isaiah 44:6
"Thus says YHWH, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer [Yeshua], the YHWH of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.'"

Jesus confirmed the above as well as His being the Almighty.
Revelation 1:8
Jesus said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Again, Who is the Redeemer? Who is the Savior? YHWH.
Isaiah 49:26
"All flesh shall know That I, YHWH, am your Savior, And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."

Before He was born, Jesus identified the trinity.
Isaiah 48:16
"Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord GOD and His SPIRIT Have sent ME."

Three distinct personalities are seen in Jesus' baptism.
Matthew 3:16
When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Jews sought to stone Jesus for claiming to be the eternal.
John 8
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Jesus says that He and the Father are ONE (heis in Greek which means literally the number 1) Jews seek to stone Him for claiming to be God incarnate.
John 10
"I and My Father are one."
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God."

Jesus does not rebuke Thomas for calling Him God, but rather promises a blessing to those who would believe later.
John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said to Jesus, "My Lord and my God!"
Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Paul confirms that Jesus is God.
Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men... looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
