Answer 4

In the Bible, the word translated "God" is a generic term. That is, it is used to describe a diety.

The word translated "Lord" in the OT is Jehovah.

Latin translates "God" as Deos while Greek uses Theos in the NT. The word for Lord is used by any one in higher authority.

God has given Himself many names. Most of them are descriptions of His character or powers.

Answer 5

It's a title not his name

Answer 6

Everytime someone starts a new religion, they give God a new name. God was one of the later ones.

Answer 7

Well, at one point there was this troll that said to Morgoth, "yo, God, what up?" Of course, the troll meant to say, "Yo, dog, what up?" but Morgoth was pleased and so the name was forced upon us all for Morgoth's entertainment. Those that resisted were all killed by a plague of syphallis. Morgoth laughed because those things seem cute.

Answer 8

So, if the God of the Bible, the Creator, is your God, then you should, first of all, know what his name is. Do you? You say "God" is his name? No, that is merely a title, as is "boss." Did you say, "Jesus Christ"? No, that is the name of God's Son. Then what is God's name? He tells us in his Word: "I am Jehovah. That is my name." "You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High." Yes, the true God has a name that distinguishes him from the many imitation or false gods.-Isa. 42:8; Ps. 83:18; 1 Cor. 8:5, 6.

If the God of the Bible is your God, you will also know what his basic characteristics or attributes are. What are they? They are four. First, justice: "A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he." Second, power: "With God all things are possible." Third, wisdom: "Jehovah himself in wisdom founded the earth. He solidly fixed the heavens in discernment. By his knowledge the . . . skies keep dripping down light rain." And fourth, love. "God is love."-Deut. 32:4; Matt. 19:26; Prov. 3:19, 20; 1 John 4:8.

Further, if your God is the God of the Bible, you should be familiar with his purposes. Then when others reproach him, because of ignorance or malice, you will be able to defend his good name just as you would that of any earthly friend. Does someone accuse your God Jehovah of being merely the tribal God of the Jews? They are wrong. The faithful men of old from Abel to Jacob were not Jews. Besides, all humankind are recipients of Jehovah's blessings and yet will be. It is only that at one time Jehovah gave the Israelites, later known as Jews, certain privileges because of the faith of their forebears. Jesus Christ worshiped the God of Moses; his followers will do likewise.-Rom. 3:29.

Or, if someone found fault with your God because He used the armies of Israel to destroy certain pagan peoples in times past, you, as a Christian, should be able to clear God's name from this reproach also. Those pagan Canaanites deserved to die because of being steeped in the vilest immorality. Since Jehovah is earth's rightful Sovereign and Judge, he is free to choose the means of executing criminals: the Flood for the antediluvians, fire for those of Sodom and Gomorrah, the literal sword for the Canaanites.-Deut. 9:4-6.

Then, again, should some, because misery and injustice are the lot of humankind, deny that Jehovah God exists, how will you answer? Many persons have no answer. But the Bible has. In the first place, let it be noted that mankind has only itself to blame. True, God could have at once wiped out the principals in the Edenic rebellion, but God was challenged as to his ability to have creatures upon this earth that would remain true to him under test. To answer that challenge God had to permit suffering, even as the book of Job shows. Once Jehovah God has fully refuted these charges and answered Satan's challenge, he will destroy all evildoers and bring about conditions upon earth that will leave no doubt as to his existence, sovereignty and attributes.

One more relevant point-your conduct. Does it belie your claim that the God of the Bible is your God? If he truly is your God, you will try to please him by your very way of life. Actions speak-often louder than words. You must 'love Jehovah with your whole heart, soul, mind and strength.' You must also "love your neighbor as yourself."-Mark 12:30, 31.

So, who is your God? You do have one; even those who deny belief in God have a god they serve. If your God is the God of the Bible, the Creator, then you know his name, his attributes and his purposes. Then you are able to vindicate him when he is reproached. Then too, you live so as to please him. Otherwise, your god, in effect, is "the god of this system of things," the base, would-be rival of the one true God

Answer 9

God is simply a title. It means mighty one.

Answer 10

I'm not sure. His real name is Yahweh, Elohiem, Adonai, Jehovah, El-Shaddai.. Different names for different attributes.

Jesus isn't the Son's real name either. It's Yahshua/Yeshua.
