why do the most people refuse to hear God his name jehovah??

Answer 1

There are many false gods. Jehovah God is real and I believe in Him and His son, Jesus.

Answer 2

Je·ho·vah

Jehovah Definition:

name of God in Bible: a translation of the Hebrew name of God used in the Bible.

I don't know why anyone would refuse to hear Jehovah. Maybe it is the stigma of the Jehovah's Witnesses. God has many names in the bible both arameic (sp?) and hebrew as stated below:


The progressive revelation of God to man, as found in the Holy Scriptures, has its origin and development in the use of the Divine Names, through which God has communicated in varying degrees, something of the unsearchable mystery which surrounds His being. Two of these names, Elohim and Jehovah or Jahweh [Yahweh], when taken in their Old Testament unity, declare the being of God as absolute and necessary. There are many other names applied to Deity, but these two are supreme and run throughout the entire older period of revelation. Another name, El Shaddai, a combination of El and Shaddai; and Adonai, especially when used in the plural with Elohim and Jehovah, are of sufficient importance to demand special attention. All of these names are continued in the New Testament, and find their culmination in the revelation of God in Him, whose name is above every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Eph. 1:21).

Answer 3

The cult of the Jehovah's Witnesses is loathsome and execrable. The first leader was convicted in court for selling bogus "miracle wheat" to people. The second leader was chastized in a divorce-court settlement for general mistreatment of his wife, and having affairs with two other women. Great leaders have great opportunities to be horndogs, but we don't really encourate it in religious leaders. If sex is more powerful than religion, we might as well not attempt to change human behaviour at all...

Answer 4

I am not Jehovah's Witness, but I know that God's name is Jehovah--which translates as LORD. God has many names in the bible and most of the time the names describe his characteristic or attributes. I just finished an extensive study on the names of God. Here are some more:

Jehovah-Rapha--The LORD who heals.
Jehovah-Shalom--The LORD is peace
Jehovah-Raah--The LORD our Shepherd
Jehovah-Sabaoth--The LORD of Hosts
Elohim-Creator
El Roi-The God who sees
Adonai-Lord and Master
Qana-Jealous
El-Elyon- The God Most High
And there are more...............

Answer 5

Most people don't want to call him by his name because it makes it personal. God is so general, Also then they would have to realize that maybe what Jehovah's witness are saying is true.

Answer 6

Jehovah is Jesus, YHWH, Adonaii, the Lord (not lord), etc. The one English term God comes from multiple (singular and plural; roughly 10) Hebrew terms.

Answer 7

Because I heard that crap for over 20 years. I am not some Joe Schmoe off the street, I KNOW what I am talking about. That is a CULT in every sense of the word. They seriously use brainwashing techniques to keep you scared to know the REAL TRUTH. The real truth is that you are wasting away precious life. I know it is hard to see that, but it is really there. There is NO Jehovah, there is no Jesus, there will be no paradise for you to 'inherit', it is all smoke and mirrors.

Answer 8

The name JEHOVAH, comes from the 4 syllable Hebrew word YHWH. It is pronounced as YAHWEH. Most people dont say that because that is the name God gave himself, I AM. So out of respect they called him Lord, Master or Adonai in Hebrew.

The Jewish people do not utter that name in fear and respect. So they call him Elohim, El, Adonai etc.

But as a Christian i can call God YHWH without fear and with love bcecause i believe in the Blood of Jesus Christ. That sacrifice has made me his son through adoption and thus i can call my Heavenly Father, abba, which in Hebrew means father, or Jehovah God. This can be done only so because when Christ died, the Jewish temple's veil which seperated the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place was torn from top to bottom. Thus access was given to all to approach him and call on his name through Jesus Christ. Thus i can call him Jehovah God, my redeemer, YHWH without fear but with love.

God bless you

Answer 9

Why do JW's make such a big deal about it? His name is also Elio, I Am and Yahweh. It doesn't matter what you call Him. He knows who loves Him and who does not. You are like the Seventh Day Adventists to me. Ellen G White, their prophetice had a vision of the ten commandments and in that vision supposedly one was brighter than all the rest, the 4th one, Honor the Sabbath. So she created a whole new religion to divide believers saying that anyone who worships on Sunday is of the beast. What difference does it make what day you worship on or what you call Him. These are laws. Christ came to free us from such laws.

Answer 10

The name "Jehovah" is an English translation of the Hebrew name pronounced as or similar to "Yahweh" or "Yehowah"; the exact original pronunciation is unknown. The four Hebrew characters corresponding to the letters "YHWH" are well-recognized as the biblical personal name of Almighty God, and are universally designated as "the Tetragrammaton" or "the Tetragram".

For centuries, most Jews have superstitiously refrained from pronouncing aloud any form of the divine Name. They base that superstition on the third of the Ten Commandments given to Moses:
(Exodus 20:7) You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way
http://watchtower.co.uk/e/bible/ex/chapter_020.htm?bk=Ex;chp=20;vs=7;citation#bk7

Over the centuries, that Jewish superstition has expanded to also forbid writing or engraving any form of "YHWH", even when simply copying from one of the nearly 7000 occurences in the Hebrew Scriptures. In recent centuries, some superstitious Jews have even forbade unabbreviated EUPHEMISMS for "YHWH"; capitalized terms such as "Tetragrammaton" and (amazingly) even "the Name" are forbidden by such superstitions.

More recently, the Jewish superstition has ballooned out of all reasonableness by also forbidding respectful impersonal TERMS referring to the Almighty; thus many Jews insist upon writing "G-d" or "G~d" rather than "God". They may even refrain from capitalizing impersonal terms such as "Creator" and "Almighty".

Naturally, the religious and superstitious practices of a person are between him and his Creator. However, in recent decades these superstitious Jews have worked to impose their superstitious sensibilities beyond their religious communities, and onto the entire populace. Thus, although "YHWH' is unanimously recognized as the personal name of God, few today use any form of it in their writings and conversation.

Interestingly, Christendom has largely joined with superstitious Jews in suppressing the use of "Yahweh" and "Jehovah". However, it seems that Christiandom's anti-YHWH bias largely devolves from their hatred of Jehovah's Witnesses, the religion almost single-handedly responsible for the growing public recognition that the Almighty God of Judaism and Christianity actually does a personal name.

It seems that too many are more interested in coddling superstition than in allowing intellectual honesty and respect for the Almighty.

Interestingly, Encyclopaedia Judaica says that “the avoidance of pronouncing the name YHWH ... was caused by a misunderstanding of the Third Commandment.”

(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 11

The first English translators of יְהֹוָה, believed they had the correct vowel points, and translated it as it was written:
"Jehova" in 1270 A.D. Latin.
"Iehouah" in 1530 A.D. English.
"Iehovah" in 1611 A.D. English.
"Jehovah" in 1769 A.D. English.
It means “I AM that I AM,” or “I AM" Also translated "Lord"
Jesus used this term in relation to Himself in John 8:58
"Jesus said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM" You can see the the Jews knew what He was saying because they picked up rocks to stone Him..
Is the doctrine of the JW consistent with scripture.. No, their Idea that Jesus is not Jehovah God is contrary to the Bible and the main reason that they are considered to be a cult by main stream Christian church.... Jim
