Answer 2

No human today can be certain how God's name was originally pronounced in Hebrew.Because Biblical Hebrew was originally writen with only consonants,no vowels.In time,The Jews came to have the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God's personal name out loud,so they used substitute expessions,and in the time the original pronunciation of the divine name was lost.
Many schooars favor the spelling "Yahweh," but it is uncertain and there is not agreement among them.On the other hand, "Jehovah" is the form of the name that is most readily recognized,because it has been used in English for centuries and peserves, equally with other forms, the four consonants of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton.

Answer 3

G-d has no name. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is metaphysical. Names are proper nouns, and proper nouns are a subset of things. G-d cannot be a thing, because have limits, either physical limits for material things (but G-d in incorporeal and therefore has no physical limits) or abstract things (such as ideas or concepts which, being subjective, have no mind-independent reality). However, G-d is a mind-independent reality and, therefore, cannot be an idea or concept.

A second reason is historical and involves a show of respect. In the Hebrew scriptures, the name of G-d, the Tetratragrammaton (Greek for "Four Letters') YHWH, is written in such a way that it cannot be spoken. Observant Jews, when they come to YHWH in Scripture, use the Hebrew term HaMesh, meaning "the Name." In the story of Moses and the burning bush, Moses asks G-d what G-d's name is, so Moses can tell people who sent him back to Egypt to free the Israelites, and G-d's reply is generally translated "say 'I am" sent me." However, biblical Hebrew apparently had no present tense for our term "I am," so the translation should probably be closer to "I will be whatever I will be." This may be statement about G-d's ontological quality of potentiality but is not the name of G-d.

Supposedly, only the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem was allowed to know or pronounce the name of G-d and did so only once a year. In the ancient world, it was generally believed that to know someone's name gave you a magical power to control that person. This is why kings, such as the Egyptian pharoah, had a "throne name," by which he was known, but that was not his actual name. If man knew the name of G-d, it was believed, he could control G-d magically, which is why the name of G-d cannot be spoken in Hebrew.

Adoni and Elohim mean "lord," which is a title, not a name. Also, Christ derives from the Greek "christos" which is a translation from the Hebrew "messiah," which means the Lord's anointed, referring to a regal figure, such as King David.

In arabic Allah means G-d but is not the "name" of G-d.

The fact that G-d has no name, therefore, is a mark of respect for being that cannot be limited or defined or controlled or comprehended by mere mortals.

Grace be unto you and peace.

Answer 5

Jehovah Definition: The personal name of the only true God. His own sef-designation. Jehovah is the creator, and, rightfully, the sovereign Ruler of the universe. Jehovah is translated from a Hebrew Tetragrammaton which means 'He causes to become' The four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH. Quoted from the book 'Reasoning from the scriptures'

Answer 6

Jesus is not God, he is the son of the Most Holy Father Jehovah. I am is not his name. read ps 83 verse 18 in the king james bible. God's name is Jeovah YHWH

Answer 7

There are many names for God since there are a lot of religions that believe in different Gods.

Answer 8

Since God is made up -any name is OK.
Jehovah, or Yaweh, is claimed by many to be the actual Name of God. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true; while it is representative of God's Name, it is not His actual name. Nowhere in the original manuscripts of Old Testament will you find the actual name, Jehovah, Yehovah, or Yahweh. What you will find is a grouping of four Hebrew consonants, which are equivalent to YHVH, JHVH, or YHWH in the English language. This grouping is called by Bible Scholars, "the tetragrammaton." This set of four letters was used by the Hebrew people to signify the incommunicable Name of God. Wherever it appears in the original manuscripts, it refers only to the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, in other words, the God of Israel. It was considered by the Hebrew people to be representative of the sacred, holy, name of GOD. Again, it was never used to represent anyone other than, the self existent, eternal, GOD.
So it is up to you...
