what is the difference between JEHOVAH and YAHWEH ??

Question

which one is name of God? Christian God, Jewish God or Universal Religion God? Every one has the same God only different name?? What is the REAL Religion??

Answer 1

There is only one living God and I don't know if He has a name. He is a spirit....a force...whatever you want to call Him/It.

Religions are made by man...not by God. God is our creator and wants a personal relationship with each one of his children. I suspect (although I do not know) that he probably thinks that our feeble attempts to please him with all our rituals and traditions are rather silly.

Answer 2

The Hebrew is the Tetragramaton, the four letters which are so sacred to Jews that we take great care in where we write them and we never even try to pronounce them. There's a beautiful piece of theology behind that -- no matter how close we might come, we can never define G-d, something is always left out.

This is so important that when the Name is written in Torah scrolls, the vowels used are for a different word, Adonai. It makes complete sense within a Jewish context -- Adonai is what is pronounced for the Name when Torah is read aloud. The different vowels mean that the reader cannot accidentally pronounce the Name.

People without much knowledge of Hebrew or Jewish custom insisted on reading the two together, the consonants of the Name and the vowels of Adonai. They came up with Jehovah.

Jehovah was never the name of G-d. Nor is it an Anglicization of the Hebrew or from a Hebrew verb, it's a flat out mistake, a misreading of a Jewish custom. People can claim otherwise, but that doesn't change the history.

Answer 3

Je‧ho′vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha‧wah′ (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”].

The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18.

Correct Pronunciation of the Divine Name. “Jehovah” is the best known English pronunciation of the divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored by most Hebrew scholars. The oldest Hebrew manuscripts present the name in the form of four consonants, commonly called the Tetragrammaton (from Greek te‧tra-, meaning “four,” and gram′ma, “letter”). These four letters (written from right to left) are הוהי and may be transliterated into English as YHWH (or, JHVH).

The Hebrew consonants of the name are therefore known. The question is, Which vowels are to be combined with those consonants? Vowel points did not come into use in Hebrew until the second half of the first millennium C.E. Furthermore, because of a religious superstition that had begun centuries earlier, the vowel pointing found in Hebrew manuscripts does not provide the key for determining which vowels should appear in the divine name.
If you are interested i have an article called 'Jehovah or Yahweh' which i could email to you, its just too long to put on here.

Answer 4

No difference. Hebrew writing did not include vowels, so the Name of God was written YHWH. Early translators put in vowels to make Jehovah (Y & J being interchangeable) More recently, it has been thought that Yahweh is more accurate.Either way, He is the same God that Christians worship. Every religion will tell U that they are the real one. I am a committed Christian, and Jesus is real to me. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Yahweh is the Hebrew, personal name of God. Jehovah is the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) with the vowel points for Adonai (Lord) placed in between the letters YHWH as a kind of circumlocution or euphemism. You should think of Jehovah as an Anglicization of Yahweh, the way that many Jewish names have been westernized (i.e., Jesus is really Y'shua, Moses is Moshe, etc.)

Yahweh is the personal name of God in the Bible, but He is known by other names as well, such as El Shaddai (God Almighty). There are many qualities of Yahweh that make Him higher and unlike any other god.

Someone said that Allah and Yahweh are the same. To start, linguistically they are not. I have read that the name Allah came from the moon god Wallah. While some think that is absurd, please consider that the symbol for several Islamic countries is the cresent moon. For a theological comparison between Allah and Yahweh, please see the link below (book) by Geisler and Saleeb.

Answer 6

Early on, the name of God was considered to be sacred--too sacred to speak. It was represented by the abbreviation YHVH. There is confusion as to whether this represents Yahweh, Yahveh, Jehova or someting else. It may even be initials with each letter representing a name (a monogram) For all anyone knows, God's name could be Yosef Howard Vergil Harris.

Jehova and Yahweh are both accepted, and I have also heard Jehovah-Yahweh.

Answer 7

They are both the same. Since Hebrew is a Semitic language and has a different alphabet, transliteration can be difficult.
Allah is just another name for God.
Whether you like it or not, Jews, Christians and Muslims (no preference implied - listed in chronological order) are all based on what Christians refer to as the Old Testament. The Prophets of the Old Testament are respected by Christians and Muslims, not just by Jews.
Abraham ( also called Ibrahim) was the father of Jews and Arabs. Mohammed counted Jesus as one of the Prophets and also honoured Mary.

Answer 8

Yahweh and Jehovah are actually two anglicisms of the same Hebrew word, the tetragrammaton (YHWH). Since its actual pronunciation is unknown, there is more than one anglicism, of which Jehovah and Yahweh are the most common. So both of them refer to the Judeo-Christian God.

Answer 9

Jehovah and Yahweh are the same. The Jews and Christian both believe in the same God, the difference is that Jews do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah and Christians do.

The Word of God tells us that Jesus us the only way to God the Father and to heaven. You must believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and you will be saved.

Answer 10

Yaweh is correct, Jehovah is made up from the tetragrammaton. There is no such thing as the real religion
