what is the name of the God of the israelites?

Question

many people refuse to say gods name.

Answer 1

Jesus is NOT God
Jesus is an angel...Michael the Archangel in his prehuman existence

God's name is Jehovah

Answer 2

God indeed has a name. It occurs some 7,000 times and more in the original Bible languages. Yahweh (Hebrew) or Jehovah (English). Jesus is Yeshua or Joshua in Hebrew.

Everywhere in the Bible where LORD and GOD are written in ALL CAPITALS is a place where God's name was removed. It also occurs in the NT where much of the text is a direct quote of Hebrew scriptures.

Most Bibles make note of this in their introduction and tell what God's name is.

The Lord's prayer says to Hallow his name, Matt. 6:9. The wicked blaspheme his name Rev. 16:9, Jesus made it known. John 17:26. He came in the fathers name yet others would come in their own human name. John 5:43, 44

Psalm 44:20, 21 says if we have forgotten the name of our God will he himself not search this out?

Psalm 72:17 Let his name prove to be to time indefinite (forever some versions).

God has a name even more important than all the pagan gods and humans who each have a name. The Bible would not continually mention God's name if he did not have one. It occurs thousands of times and it is mentioned thousands more than he has a name.

Answer 3

YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH: “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) – Strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai “Lord.” The revelation of the name is first given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3).

Answer 4

God is a title. God's does indeed have a name and it is Jehovah. read ps 83 verse 18

Answer 5

The Hebrew god has no name, he refered to himself to Moses as "I am" which is loosely translated as Yahweh. Jewish tradition puts magical power on the name of god so it became traditional not to pronunce the name and later not even to write the name.

Answer 6

The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

Answer 7

YHWH. Nobody knows what it was -- it was so holy you weren't allowed to say it or even teach it to your children. Some pronounce it "Yahweh" or "Jehovah"; there is a theory it's an acronym for what God told Moses, "I am who am."

Answer 8

Jehova

Answer 9

`I am who I am` is the reply God gave to Moses when he asked who God was, this in Hebrew is YHWH, with the insertion of vowels it becomes Yahweh, Jews however do not use this but names like Holy One of Israel for example.

Answer 10

Ex. 3:15: "God said...to Moses: "This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, "Jehovah the God of your forefathers...has sent me to you." This is my name to time indefinite, and this is a memorial of me to generation after generation.' "

Isa. 12:4: "Give thanks to Jehovah, you people! Call upon his name. Make known among the peoples his dealings. Make mention that his name is put on high."

Ezek. 38:17,23: "This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, '...And I shall certainly magnify myself and santify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.' "

Mal. 3:16 "Those in fear of Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name."

John 17:26: "[Jesus prayed to his Father:] I have made your name known to them [his followers] and I will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them."

Acts 15:14: "Symeon has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name."

John 8:54: "Jesus answered [the Jews]: 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, he who you say is your God,' " (The Hebrew Scriptures clearly identify Jehovah as the God that the Jews professed to worship. Jesus said, not that he himself was not Jehovah, but that Jehovah was his Father. Jesus here made it very clear that he and his Father were distinct individuals.)
