The name Jehovah?

Question

I've heard that the name used by some secret societies is an alternate spelling of Jehovah, and that it can be traced back to the name of the devil.
If this is true, how can anyone be sure that any religion is true and good?

It would be nice if people could actually try and answer what the question asks, and not just throw abuse or stupid comments at me.

father K, yes that's what I'm asking about. Can you tell me more?

Answer 1

You are refering to Freemasonry.

A classic Masonic text, Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry, shows how the cryptic "Three Times Three" handclasp is performed in the Royal Arch Degree by three "brothers" of the Lodge. Incredibly, it is during this grotesque ritual that the Masonic initiate learns the true name of the Masonic god, nebulously referred to by Masons as the "Grand Architect of the Universe."

In this secret ritual, however, the Masonic Lodge reveals that the actual name of their deity is "Jahbuhlun". This repugnant name is obtained by combining the name of "Jehovah", or "Yahweh", with the names of the Philistine god, "Baal", and the Egyptian god, "On". (On is one of the several names of the great Egyptian sun god.) Thus, Jah-baal-on, or Jahbuhlun.

Answer 2

"Jehovah" is a mistranslation for the name of God given to Moses. How this happened is a bit complicated.
The name given by God to Moses was only said by the High Priest. So when others would come to the name, they would say "Adonai" meaning "Lord." Hebrew has no vowels or sound letters and the letters J and V meant also Y and W. The name then was written "JHVH" or "YHWH," but you cannot pronounce it. In translation, the vowel sounds for Adonai were wrongly put in the consonants for JHVH ending with Jehovah. The real sounds would be closer to "JAHWEH" but we would pronounce it "YAHWEH."

Answer 3

The word Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word YHWH (Yahweh) interspersed with the vowel sounds of ADONAI (Lord). In Hebrew there are no vowels, and the vowel sounds are got with the aid of punctuation.

Answer 4

It is quite possible that secret societies have used god's name in a profane way, but this does not reflect on the true god. Many christian faiths have removed god's name from the bible all together which is a profanity itself.

Answer 6

The name was coined by a catholic monk by the name of Raymundus Martini in The 12Th century and didn't find its way into the bible until the 15th century, you can google it and look for Raymundus Martini, it was not in the bible when written.

Answer 7

Never heard of that before. I guess any group can use the name and move the letters around. Whatever.

Jehovah is the accepted english name of God, based on the Hebrew letters YHWH, or Yahweh in Hebrew.

Answer 8

It's actually a misspelling of J E Hoover.

Answer 9

Jehovah is a man made word. the actual Hebrew name for God (I am) is translated YHWH (yo-ha-veh-ha). No Jew would write or speak the name of God so we really don't know how it was spelled or pronounced.

Answer 10

Is it not true, that all religions are man made. same as the books.
Cannot recall any God Writting Anything..
