All of the other religions refer to there god by his/her/it's name. Also, just calling Jahhova god creats confusion between the Christian/jewish/muslum and neutralist religion. Christians, jews, and Muslums already know Jahhova's name, why don't they just use that name? in the neutral religion, there is a mystery god, that other religions are just guessing the name of the mystery god, and neutrals just call this mystery god, "god". especially in europe, northern africa, and the americas, if a neutral talks about "god" they others will think they are referring to Jahhova. Since everybody is used to calling Jahhova god, and I am a religios neutral, how do I refer to my mystery god without using a specific name?

In Judaism, there is no "J" in G-d's name, so I don't know whose name you are talking about.
Secondly we do not say or write the name out of respect and also because if we were to write it and something happened to what it was written on, it would be desecrating G-d's name. Also, there are many names for G-d. You will find Jews using HaShem--The Name.

They all worship God. Jews feel in simply God. Christians feel Jesus is the Son of God. Muslims feel Muhammed was once the prophet of God, the identical means they feel Jesus was once a prophet of God. BTW, Allah approach God. It's simply an extra language.

You should read Josephus, a Jewish-Roman historian who made a ton of sh*T up, but also gives says interesting things. He explains that the Jewish High Priest had the Tetragrammaton written on his head band, and that it was vowelized. Hebrew normally has no cowels.
He says it had 4 vowels.

In the ancient culture during the Old Testament, to give someone your name gave them a sense of ownership or power over you....(I don't understand it either)
The closest God ever came to revealing His name was when Moses asked Him....His reply was, "I am."
Personally I don't think we could comprehend His real name, even if we heard it....so I guess we still will be using "God."

Jews use a variety of labels and referents to god because no one "name" is complete or proper. The most sacred of names we don't say out of respect. But trust me..."Jehhova" isn't it.

Hello Young'un,
I would guess that if he is a mystery then he would not have a name. Our GOD is called FATHER by Jesus and so I call HIM GOD, the FATHER. HE created everything so I guess you may address HIM as FATHER also if you choose. Have a great evening. If you are interested in studying the BIBLE, I would be glad to assist you. Just drop me a note.
Thanks,
Eds

Jesus is my God. You can have the other J word.
Our Father and Our Lord and the Holy Spirit is enough, for all intents and purposes, that we NEED to know.
Besides you can't send them a postcard anyways!

Calling God God does not confuse me, your question does.
