why don't christians call god "YAHWEH" very often?

Question

muslims call god "ALLAH" all the time

Answer 1

The First part of the question is We call him Father more often from the example that Jesus gave us. YAHWEH or YHWH. Is his name that should not be spoken as when Written the , Pen or pencil should be thrown away as it should never be used again to write anything after the name of the God Almighty.

allah is not the name of God, It is pagan in origin and islam is a false religion and cult of evil

Answer 2

YHWH the name God gave Moses at the burning bush is the best guess we have at the letters in the name of God. This name has been transposed by adding letters into several differernt names to make a pronounceable name.
"Jehova" in 1270 A.D. Latin.
"Iehouah" in 1530 A.D. English.
"Iehovah" in 1611 A.D. English.
"Jehovah" in 1671 A.D. English.
"Yehowah" used used most recently is also translated as Yahweh.

Jesus Christ used this name in reference to Himself in John 8:58.. Doesn't that now add the translated word Jesus to that list?

This is why a name means so little to a Christian. WE pray with God in my mind and filling our hearts. We obey and and do the works He has prepared for us to do and praise Him that He has allowed us to be in His service. We worship our Lord for what He is What He has done and who He is.. His name Jehovah, YHWH, Jesus, or as the The Prophet Isaiah said His name is Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Answer 3

I know many Christians who will use Yahweh and Jehovah.
Amy Grant even has a Christian song Jehovah.

However, the Greek Scriptures (aka) New Testament tells Christians to bend their knee to Jesus and to be witnesses of Him.

Answer 4

If you would read Old Testmant in Hebrew, you will find out that God is addressed as Eloh (Hebrew for God), Elochim (Hebrew for Gods, plural of God) and sometimes as Yahweh.

Answer 5

I have always called Him "God."

I also call God "my Heavenly Father."


I wonder what Muslims calling their god Allah has to do with us calling Him Yahweh.

Answer 6

Christians don't know God by that name because Jesus is god manifested in the flesh and is also the Christ, Holy Ghost & I AM
Only in the Jewish religion will you see the word Yahweh, it is not in the Holy Bible

Answer 7

I don't, because I can call him Father. I'd much rather be His child than merely on a first-name basis.

Answer 8

First, many claim that the name should not be used because the original way to pronounce it is unknown today. Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels. Therefore, no one today can say for sure exactly how people of Bible times pronounced YHWH. However, should this prevent us from using God’s name? In Bible times, the name Jesus may have been pronounced Yeshua or possibly Yehoshua—no one can say for certain. Yet, people the world over today use different forms of the name Jesus, pronouncing it in the way that is common in their language. They do not hesitate to use the name just because they do not know its first-century pronunciation. Similarly, if you were to travel to a foreign land, you might well find that your own name sounds quite different in another tongue. Hence, uncertainty about the ancient pronunciation of God’s name is no reason for not using it.

A second reason often given for omitting God’s name from the Bible involves a long-standing tradition of the Jews. Many of them hold that God’s name should never be pronounced. This belief is evidently based on a misapplication of a Bible law that states: “You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way, for Jehovah will not leave the one unpunished who takes up his name in a worthless way.”—Exodus 20:7.

Answer 9

I thought Yahweh was the Hebrew spelling of Jehovah.

Answer 10

Because his name is different in other languages. For instance english: God, swedish: Gud, german: Gott and so on, och så vidare, und so weiter. ;) Couldn't help myself with that last thing.
