what is the name of the true God?

Answer 1

The name of the true God is "Jehovah" or "Jah Jehovah" in the English language.

(Isaiah 12:2) God is my salvation. I shall trust and be in no dread; for Jah Jehovah is my strength and my might, and he came to be the salvation of me.

(1 Kings 18:24) You must call upon the name of your god, and I, for my part, shall call upon the name of Jehovah; and it must occur that the true God that answers by fire is the true God.”

(2 Samuel 6:2) Bring up from there the ark of the true God, where a name is called on, the name of Jehovah of armies, sitting on the cherubs.

(1 Chronicles 13:6) ...the ark of the true God, Jehovah, sitting on the cherubs, where his name is called on.

(1 Chronicles 22:19) Now set your heart and your soul to inquire after Jehovah your God, and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah the true God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and the holy utensils of the true God to the house built to the name of 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 2

The one and only True God is Jehovah that is his name(Psalm83:18 ; Exodus6:3 ; Isaiah12:2 ; Isaiah26:4)

Answer 3

God's name is simply "God" to many people.

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."

Some will point out that "Father" and "God" are titles rather than names and are neither personal nor distinctive. It is similar to how a child might call his mother "mom" even though that is not her name.


Allah

Muslims call Him "Allah."

Elohim

Some call God "Elohim."

Others say that in Biblical times the 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 worshipped.

Jehovah or Yahweh

Some Christians call Him "Jehovah" or "Yahweh."

This is an anglicized pronunciation of the Hebrew tetragrammaton, YHWH, which are the four consonant letters used to spell God's name in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14). The Hebrews considered the name of God too holy to pronounce and susbstituted the word "Lord" (adonai) when the text was read. The vowels of the word "adonai" was combined with YHWH to get the word "Jehovah" which was first used in the 12th century. A more accurate pronunciation of YHWH would be "Yahweh." Howver, the exact and proper pronunciation has been lost.

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."


The Father

Some Christians prefer to use "The Father."

Some will say the name of Jesus is Jehovah and that he was sent and directed by "God The Father."

Answer 4

The symbol for the name for God has traditionally been represented as YHVH and the actual pronounciation has been lost to us due to the fact that the Jewish People did not speak it as a show of reverence. El Shaddai is an expansion of the generic form of El which can used to mean god in a nonspecific form the extended Shaddai renders the meaning "God Almighty." Other forms such as El Elyonna for Lord and Yahweh and Jehovah are attempts at restoring the original spoken forms but that is all questionable. It is interesting to note that Elohim is a plural form of a singularity in person and is used when God is speaking in the old testament concerning is decisive acts such as "come let us confound the language of man" in Genesis where man builds the tower of Babel in an effort to exalt himself to the level of God in their own eyes. Finally the phonetic usage of each letter individually when following the rules of pronounciation excludes the interaction of the various tools of the flesh such as the teeth, tongue, lips and palate for the formation of other phonetic utterances. So in effect each character within the tetragrammaton, YHVH, becomes a basic expulsion of air from the lungs uninterupted by the effects of the flesh, its as if it a simple breath of the individual with perhaps the glutteralation from the larnyx permitted to give "voice" to the breath alone. You will notice that Abram became Abra(H)am and his wife Sarai became Sara(H) when God interjected Himself into their lives as a result of their obedience to Him.
Otherwise...God works for me.

Psalm 83:18

"That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth."

Exodus 6:2,3

2 And God went on to speak to Moses and to say to him: “I am Jehovah. 3 And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

Psalm 68:4

4 Sing YOU to God, make melody to his name;
Raise up [a song] to the One riding through the desert plains
As Jah, which is his name; and jubilate before him;

His personal name is Jehovah [Jah is an abbreviation of the name] ...

Answer 7

God has many titles. According to the Bible, He has only one Name.

"Jehovah...this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." (Exodus 3:15, American Standard Version)

"I am Jehovah, that is my name." (Isaiah 42:8, American Standard Version)

Not all Hebrew scholars agree that the form "Jehovah" arose by a mistake, or that "Yahweh" is the original Hebrew form. Some Kara'ite Jews teach that "Yehovah" (Jehovah in English) is the true pronunciation of the Name, and some scholars assert that it had three syllables, not two.

Answer 8

Jehovah is the accepted English pronunciation of the four letter tetragrammaton YHWH. It is different, only depending upon which language you speak.

Jesus Christ is the Son of the only true God.

John 17:3: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, AND of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

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)

Answer 9

Both 'Ehyeh and Yahueh are spoken of, by God, as His Name.

Through study we see that, in fact, the Names do not differ except in the respect of point of view. 'Ehyeh is spoken only by God Himself, for truly He is the only Only Who can say: I WAS, AM, AND SHALL BE--I CAUSE TO BECOME. He alone is the Source of Existence, and our eternity is due solely to Him breathing into us His Spirit

The Name Yahueh simply puts this Truth into the third person for us to know and call upon: HE WAS, IS, AND SHALL BE--HE CAUSES TO BECOME. God's chosen Name for Himself takes the focus off of His creation (so that we do not say "I AM"), and puts it on Him, where it should be (so that we say "HE IS").

We see in verse 15 of Exo. 3, that God says "this" is His name forever, and "this" is His memorial to all generations. It appears, at first, that "this" refers to 'Ehyeh 'asher 'Ehyeh, because until then the Hebrews had never known Him as that.

Yet, in other portions of the Old Covenant, God states (as well as His servants) that His name is Yahueh alone, and personally declares it as His own name in a cloud.

Jer 10:10 -

"But Jehovah is the TRUE GOD; he is the living God, and the everlasting King.
