Who Is The God In Christianity?

Question

Ok, iv been getting mixed answer from Christians on who God in thier fate is, I have been told its Jesus, YHWA, Genova and been told it could be Elohim,

Please explain

Answer 1

Jehovah, I Am are names for him.

Answer 2

Hi Kamran,

YHVH and Elohim are both names for G-d. Jehovah is an English attempt to write the first name (YHVH) with letters.
G-d so loved the world (including you) that He gave His only begotten son (He did not have sex with anyone but sent His son
Yeshua (Jesus) to earth through a human mother who was a virgin) so that whoever believed in Him (Yeshua) would have eternal life and not perish. (John 3:16 in the Bible).

G-d has many names in the Bible, but He is the One True G-d. He revealed Himself first to Israel and the Jewish people, and through them, to the nations.

He is holy.
He is pure.

He is good.

He is Creator, Judge, Lawgiver, King.

He is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient (all powerful, everywhere, and all-knowing).

He wants a relationship with you.

You can read about Him at www.gospelcom.net

G-d made some boundaries for humans about how we were to relate to Him and to people. When we violate those rules, it's called sin.

Sin has consequences. Either you must bear them, or you must have a sin-bearer.

Since the consequences for sin mean being separated from G-d, and He didn't want that to happen to you, He took the punishment Himself when He came to earth as a man named Yeshua (Jesus).

He offers you forgiveness of sin, eternal life, and a real relationship with G-d.

Answer 3

The Christian faith in general doesn't have a single, definite God, because it's such an unstable religion, that it's many sects have branched off and claimed that their specific, respective gods were the one, true, Lord.

In Catholicism, Jesus is claimed to be God incarnate, which, according to any other Christian sect and common sense from reading the Old Testament books of Moses, is blasphemy.

Otherwise, each sect of Christianity has a different god, and they can't agree; And all of those, Jehova, YHVH (Yahweh), et cetera are all different names introduced through Judaism and Romanising Hebrew [Thus the Y and V (which, in Hebrew makes the "W" sound) in YHVH becomes pronounced Jehovah.]

And Elohiym is word used to adress God in the Hebrew Torah, and its meaning is shrouded in mystery. Some same it's just a name, others that it means "Overlord" Its ending (-iym) suggests that its plurals, and must mean that the creators of Judaism intended the belief of many Gods, but that theory contradicts himself, and all of the gods could not, at once, in one voice, have addressed the biblical prophets Moses, Isaiah, Noah, et cetera.

Thus, Christianity has many different gods, pretty much one for each sect.

Answer 4

Obviously it depends on the language being spoken.

Since the Christian God has many attributes, he has many titles, and since the Bible has been translated into many languages, these titles are pronounced in many different ways.

----------------------------
...Yahweh is a common vocalization of God's personal name based on the Hebrew tetragrammaton. Because of concerns for avoiding blasphemy, the name is often avoided and replaced with "LORD" (equivalent to the Hebrew Adonai). Furthermore, many scholars avoid the name because its actual pronunciation has been lost in antiquity. The modern rendition, "Jehovah" is believed by virtually all scholars to be incorrect, but Jehovah's Witnesses use it exclusively....

...Jesus (Iesus, Yeshua, Joshua, or Yehoshûa) is a Hebraic personal name meaning "Yahweh saves/helps/is salvation", Christ means "the anointed" in Greek, translating Messiah; while in English the old Anglo-Saxon Messiah-rendering hæland 'healer' was practically annihilated by the Latin Christ, some cognates such as heiland in Dutch survive.

In Messianic Judaism, generally regarded as a form of Christianity, YHWH (pre-incarnate) and Yeshua (incarnate) are one and the same, the second Person, with the Father and Ruach haQodesh (the Holy Spirit) being the first and third Persons, respectively, of ha'Elohiym (the Godhead). YHWH is expressed as "haShem," which means 'the Name.'

In the effort to translate the Bible into every language (see SIL), the Christian God has usually been named after a pagan or philosophical concept that was present in the language before Christianity.

The word God itself is an example of this, the word having earlier referred to Germanic pagan deities. Greek Theos (Θεός) was used for the supreme God even before Christianity, in the Septuagint. St. Jerome translated the Hebrew word Elohim to Latin as Deus. Other names of the Christian God that have a history of pagan meanings include Slavic Bog, Finnish Jumala, Japanese Kami. In the Arabic language, Allah is also used for the Christian God....

...The less evangelical branch of the Quakers often refers to God as The Light. Another term used is 'King of Kings' or 'Lord of Lords' and Lord of the Hosts. Other names used by Christians include Ancient of Days, Father/Abba, 'Most High' and the Hebrew names Elohim, El-Shaddai, and Adonai. Principle, Mind, Soul, Life, Truth, Love, and Spirit are names for God in Christian Science. These names are considered synonymous and indicative of God's wholeness. The name, "Abba/Father" is the most common term used for the creator within Christianity, because it was the name Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah) himself used to refer to God.

For the Russian Orthodox group Imiaslavie ("Name glorification"), the name of the God is God Himself and can produce miracles.

Answer 5

In Christianity , God is a triune being ie father, son and holy spirit.
If you can imagine water. Now ice also is water and steam is water too. All three look different and function differently but ultimately, they are all water. It is the same with God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit. All are God.
There are many names for God but basically they are names that describe his nature eg Jehovah Shalom = God our peace, Jehovah Rapha = God our healer, Jehovah Rohi = God our shepherd and so on.
In the same way Jesus has many names describing who he is eg King of kings, Lord of lords, lamb of God, the word of God, son of man, son of God and so on.
The Holy Spirit also has different names describing his work ie he is called the helper, the comforter, the Spirit of wisdom and truth etc.
Elohim is also another hebrew word for God.

Answer 6

YHWH and Elohim are Old Testament names for God.

That God became known in Christian theology as God the Father.

When God the Son was born, he became Jesus.

The love between the Father and the Son is the Holy Spirit.

That's the God in Christianity.

Answer 7

Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and God are 3 in 1 god, they are supposed to be considered one. There are other names for God in other languages though but it's the same one.

Answer 8

God revealed his name "I AM" to Moses, (rendered YHWH in Hebrew but not spoken from respect),later Christians rendered this personal name of God Yahweh or Jehovah.
Christians subscribe to monotheism, because we came out of Judaism. Christians came to believe that the God of Abraham had a plan of salvation being unfolded and that this God sent the his Logos or Word and His Spirit or breath (Hebrew "Ruah") by which he created into his creation.

Answer 9

The Trinity,the Absolutely The One,Eternal,Universal,Infinite,Ultimate,Perfect God
Jehovah is YHWH with Adonai(Lord) vowels
Elohim( formal plural),El,Allah,Deus,Theos,Gott,Dios,etc just mean God

Answer 10

The God in Christianity is the same as in Judaism. It's like Huratio, on CSI: Miami. It's the same gu, it just turns out that he has a son that people didn't know about. The names for God are many, but Yahweh (YHWH) is the holiest.

Answer 11

It's YHWH, the god of Abraham. Just like the Jews. Just like the Muslims.

It's all the same god, followed in different ways.
