If Jehovah's Witnesses are right, that Jehovah wants every one to know His name then don't you think..."

Question

Jesus or His apostles would have said that in the New Testament?

No one in the New Testament says Jehovah is the most important name and and that God wants everyone to know His name is Jehovah.

Answer 1

I agree. But mostly it would have ben used in the "model Prayer" the Lords Prayer. This was how Jesus tought us to pray to Our Father.

M.Mother...I removed the block on you...Maybe we can be more respectful of each other.

Answer 2

Simple then, Jesus the messiah you profess to love, is a liar.

There is information regarding why it's reasonable to put Yahweh/Jehovah in the NT.

Review Lord's Prayer.

Take Care Everybody.

Answer 3

You are onto a loser with this one. I, and many others have pointed out that there is no evidence that the tetragrammaton that is the basis of Jehovah appears in the NT. We have laboured the point that surely if God wanted his name to be continued to be used it would have featured in the model prayer. Remember, Jesus was teaching generations to come how to pray, he wasn't praying on his own behalf. We have also pointed out that although the disciples would have been very familiar with Yahveh, Jesus would have known that millions then and in the future would never have heard it, he would have used it in the model prayer and he would have surely commanded his disciples to go out and preach his fathers name along with the good news of the kingdom. Did he do either of these things. No, he did not. We can only pray that they learn the true gospel of Jesus before it is too late.

Answer 4

It's said in the model prayer.Mt. 6:9

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name NKJV

Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified, NWT

Since Jesus was talking about his Father, he was not talking about himself. This is the model prayer, and to whom we are to give our worship.

Edit: Unslilenced lamb brought out a similar thought, but there was something about the translation and YHWH that I haven't quite solidified in my mind. Still working on that but people keep bringing up new thoughts that I want to research.

Answer 5

I think God never really told anyone not even Moses what exactly His name was. I think God said to Moses His name was I AM just so Moses could have some kind of name of God to tell the Israelites. God would always say I am the God of your forefathers, Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

Answer 6

The name has been replaced by the words God,Lord ect.
It used to say the name.

Answer 7

Thanks for pointing that out, Nina. I'm just beginning to see that they are not all that once appeared cracked up to be. I do not have an answer for you and I am not seeing any definite and truthful, concrete answers to your question. I know they say one thing yet do another constantly and their arrogance and argumentative nature is ungodly to say the least. In their quest for so called defending the organization they often time get wrapped up in becoming heated up and slandering, even gossiping, so I am just steering clear of the organization until they "shape up", but I do love the Bible and God.

Answer 8

When Moses asked God's name, God replied that He was "Hayaw", meaning "the becoming One". When the Torah was given to Moses by God, His name appeared as "Yahweh" or "the existing One".

Peter often said in Acts "the name of the Lord Jesus Christ", and never the "name of Jehovah".

Ac 4:10 “let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole."

If you think the name of Jehovah was replaced with "LORD" by the scribes, then Who is the Savior?

Romans 10:13
For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

In Acts 2:25, Peter spoke of the LORD in a prophecy of David and he attributed it to the Lord Jesus Christ.

So your argument is baseless.

Answer 9

His name to me Is: Heavenly Father, Father God, Precious Father in Heaven, Lord God Almighty, OUR FATHER.

Answer 10

If we were to follow this line of reasoning, we should be obliged to reject the Hebrew Scriptures in their entirety where the name of the Most High God appears close to 7,000 times as has been carefully explained and frequently delineated on this site.

If we were to follow this line of reasoning, we should also be obliged to reject God's viewpoint of his own name as we find in Exodus, Psalms, Jeremiah, Malachi and countless other inspired books.

If we were to follow this line of reasoning, we should also be obliged to reject the very words of Yahweh's son, who himself made the importance of God's name manifest in his prayer in John 17.

If we were to follow this line of reasoning, we should also be obliged to reject the very words of Yahweh's son when he made a magnificent defense against a temptation –in Luke 4:8 he quotes Exodus 6 and Deuteronomy 6 where the name of the Most High God appears.

If we were to follow this line of reasoning, we should also be obliged to reject the position of Yahweh's son when he reproved the hypocritical religious leaders for replacing God's word with their precious tradition. At Mark 7:1-9, Jesus told them "adroitly you set aside the commandment of God." Adroitly, meaning: skillfully, cleverly, dexterously. Today despite the overwhelming evidence on the importance of the name of the Most High God, people adroitly, skillfully, cleverly set it aside.

Of course, the name did appear in the Christian Greek Scriptures originally though at some point it was removed. This is undisputed.

No, I am afraid you are much mistaken. The importance of the name has never been lost upon those who love the Most High God even as Jesus himself taught. Matthew 6:9: "Father in the heavens, let YOUR name be sanctified."
