Does God has a name?

Question

Where can I find it in the Bible?

Answer 1

In the Old Testament when God was asked who he was he replies YHWH or Yahweh which means "I am who I am" or alternatively "I will be who I will be"

Answer 2

Psalm 83:18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."—King James Version.

Jehovah or Yahweh?
Whereas the name Jehovah appears in the King James Version and other Bible translations, some prefer to use the name Yahweh instead of Jehovah. Which name is correct?

The most ancient Bible manuscripts were written in the Hebrew language. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the divine name occurs almost 7,000 times and is spelled with four consonants—YHWH or JHVH. These four-consonant words are commonly called the Tetragrammaton, or Tetragram, derived from two Greek words meaning "four letters." Now the question of accurate pronunciation arises because early Hebrew writing consisted of consonants with no vowels to guide the reader. So whether the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton becomes Yahweh or Jehovah depends on which vowels the reader supplies to the four consonants. Today many Hebrew scholars prefer Yahweh as the true pronunciation.

However, consistency favors Jehovah. In what way? The pronunciation Jehovah has been accepted in English for centuries. Those who object to using this pronunciation should also object to the use of the accepted pronunciation Jeremiah and even Jesus. Jeremiah would need to be changed to Yir·meyah' or Yir·meya'hu, the original Hebrew pronunciations, and Jesus would become Ye·shu'a` (Hebrew) or I·e·sous' (Greek). Hence, many Bible students, including Jehovah's Witnesses, feel that consistency favors the use of the already well-known English-language "Jehovah" and its equivalent in other languages.

Does It Really Matter?
Some may argue that it does not really matter whether you address Almighty God by a personal name or not, and they are content to speak of and address God as Father or simply as God. Both these terms, however, are titles rather than names and are neither personal nor distinctive. In Bible times the word for God ('Elo·him', Hebrew) was used to describe any god—even the pagan Philistine god named Dagon. (Judges 16:23, 24) So for a Hebrew to tell a Philistine that he, the Hebrew, worshiped "God" would not have identified the true God whom he worshiped.

Of interest is a comment in The Imperial Bible-Dictionary of 1874: "[Jehovah] is everywhere a proper name, denoting the personal God and him only; whereas Elohim partakes more of the character of a common noun, denoting usually, indeed, but not necessarily nor uniformly, the Supreme. . . . The Hebrew may say the Elohim, the true God, in opposition to all false gods; but he never says the Jehovah, for Jehovah is the name of the true God only. He says again and again my God . . . ; but never my Jehovah, for when he says my God, he means Jehovah. He speaks of the God of Israel, but never of the Jehovah of Israel, for there is no other Jehovah. He speaks of the living God, but never of the living Jehovah, for he cannot conceive of Jehovah as other than living."

Answer 3

God, Lord, Heavenly Father, etc, are all titles. God's personal name is in the Bible as YHWH, which was probably pronounced Yahweh in Hebrew. In English, it would be Jehovah. Many Bibles have replaced it with LORD, but it is still in some Bibles at Psalms 83:18. It was originally written almost 7,000 times throughout the Bible.

Answer 4

Depends on your bible translation.

Mostly has God's name the tetragrammaton (4 letter hebrew word for the verb 'to be' transliterated as Jehovah), in Psalm 83:18.

Others would have a footnote of God's name in exodus 6:3.

Answer 5

The ancient Hebrews accepted the name of God as YHWH in their writting. However, Hebrew writting contained no vowels, so the actual pronunciation of this is questionable. There are, however, several names for God used in the Bible (and others in other religious texts, for that matter).

Answer 6

in over 7,000 instances in the oldest extant manuscripts of Hebrew Scriptures God's name is spelled YHVH. The ancient Hebrews had no J or W in their language but the Y is pronounced as a J sound and so in English YHVH is commonly pronounced Jehovah.

When the Roman government took over the early Christian congregation in 325 a.d. they not only foisted their pagan customs onto "christianity" but in an anti-semitic sentiment, they removed God's Holy name from the Scriptures in most of those 7,000 places in order to make their pagan tri-god idea more plausible.

do a net search for the truth about all the pagan customs injected into "christianity" in 325 a.d. when the Roman government in a calculated political maneuver took over all operations and customs of the early congregation.

Answer 7

Yes it is Jehovah.
Psalms 83:18-"that all people may know that you whos name is Jehovah,you alone are the most high over all the earth"
He would rather be called by his name so as to distinguish himself from false Gods,who use the title "God"

Answer 8

"My name [is] Jehovah...
Say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah ...
I will take you to me for a people ...
and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God..."
--Ex 6:3,6,7

"You alone, Jehovah, are the God above all other gods in supreme charge of all the earth." (Psalms 83:18)

Answer 9

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

(Jeremiah 1:4-5) . . .And the word of Jehovah began to occur to me, saying: 5 “Before I was forming you in the belly I knew you, and before you proceeded to come forth from the womb I sanctified you. Prophet to the nations I made you.”

(Exodus 3:4-5) . . .When Jehovah saw that he turned aside to inspect, God at once called to him out of the midst of the thornbush and said: “Moses! Moses!” to which he said: “Here I am.” 5 Then he said: “Do not come near here. Draw your sandals from off your feet, because the place where you are standing is holy ground.”. . .

(2 Chronicles 1:1) . . .And Sol′o·mon the son of David continued to get strength in his kingship, and Jehovah his God was with him and kept making him surpassingly great.

(2 Chronicles 1:3-4) . . .which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness, happened to be. 4 However, the ark of the [true] God David had brought up from Kir′i·ath-je′a·rim. . .

And the list goes on and on and on....

Answer 10

Biblical everlasting names:
I AM THAT I AM is in Exodus 3:14
LORD thy God is in Exodus 20 The LORD (Yahweh) God (Elohim) of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob.
The LORD God of Israel is One LORD is in Deut. 6:4
El Elyon is God most High.
The first & the last (Alpha & Omega) Revelation
Yahweh (Name above all names) Yeshua Messiah is in Philippians 2:10,11

The Name of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost. Matthew 28:19


I AM Any Hayah/Ehyah (Hebrew ANY HYH)
that I AM Asher Any Hayah/Ehyah (ASHR ANY HYH)
the
LORD Yahweh (Hebrew YHVH)
thy
God Elohim (Hebrew ELHYM, Plural of Elh)
One Echad (Hebrew AKD, United)
LORD Yahweh ...


Also, LORD, Jehovah, GOD, are many times from one Hebrew Name of God = YHVH Jehovah are the vowels added from Adonai to YHVH, because people didn't know how to pronounce. I believe God said His Name is pronounced Yahweh. Jehovah is a secret code so people won't blaspheme the LORDs Name.

Answer 11

God goes under different names. See EXODUS 6:3, He is called Jehovah,See Exodus 15:3 He is called Lord. He is also called Yahweh. Often depending on the situation He will go under a different name.
