Though there is uncertainty about how God’s name was pronounced in ancient Hebrew, its meaning is not a complete mystery. His name means “He Causes to Become.” Jehovah God thereby identifies himself as the Great Purposer. He always causes his purposes and promises to become reality. Only the true God, who has the power to do this, can rightfully bear that name.—Isaiah 55:11.\n\nUnquestionably, the name Jehovah serves to distinguish Almighty God from all other gods. That is why that name appears so often in the Bible. While many translations fail to use the divine name, Psalm 83:18 clearly states: “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” During his ministry, Jesus Christ taught his followers: “You must pray, then, this way: ‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.’” (Matthew 6:9) We should, then, use God’s name when we pray, speak of him, and praise him before others.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses are being called like that, because they are witnesses of God Jehovah. They want people to know what God's Name is. How else can God's name being sactified?\n\nThe American Standard Version uses almost 7000 times the name Jehovah, as does the New World Translation wich is published and distributed to more that 235 countries in many languages. \n\nThat the King James version leaves the name out of it, shows that the writes gave in to the churches wishes to leave the name out. In the origional text the Name is used almost 7000 times.\n\nEven in Afrcan cultures and countries, the Name Jehovah is known throughout history. \n\nLike in the movie with Indiana Jones he has to follow the steps of Jehovah, but in Latin it was spelled wit "Y" So Yehovah. In English it's being accepted as Jehovah. In Italian it's Geova, In Danish and German it's Jehova. \n\nIf the name is so formilliar to people throughout history, (The Jews know the name very well, but decline to use it because it's to holy to pronounce or writing it down) than why should people nowadays remove the name?\n\nIn Denmark, the name Jehovah is even linked with one of their kings, Christian IV, as he has inbedded the name in many churches and royal buildings throughout the country. (Christian IV lived in the 16 century)\n\nIn The Netherlands you can find the Bible museum in Amsterdam, where you can find the name Jehovah.\n\nThe name is recognized by many scientific and religious authorities. \n\nSo think again, The Name is very important to us people, because that is how The True God distinguishes himself from the fals god's.\n\nHow would you like to go in to history?\nAs Captain? Chief? Sir? Or as Robert, Hendrik, Christian, Ali, Sara?\n\nIt distinguishes you from the others when someone is calling out your name. Isn't The Name of God not more important than that of us people?

Nowhere at all.  In fact, even in the earliest Greek manuscripts of the NT, the word Jesus doesn't exist. In fact in the 1611 Authorized Version the word Jesus doesn't exist. Mostly because the letter J didn't exist yet.  It was the King Iames version back then (isn't Iames a dog food?)\n\nThe Hebrew manuscripts of Matthew indicate that his name was Yeshua.  This is also the name that appears on the Oshuary of James (actually "Yaakov"). The name Yeshua means "Salvation" in Hebrew and exists a number of places. For example, the song that Moses sang after crossing the Red Sea: "The LORD my God is my strength and my song, He also has become my Yeshua". Do some research on the many places that this word is used, you will find it quite interesting.

Yes I do wonder.. I wonder what you are trying to say.  I know the Watchtower uses Ps 83:18 to say we have to use the name Jehovah when talking about GOD as if GOD is too dumb to know who we are referring to.   In reality, they even admit that Jehovah was not GOD's name but since they had millions of things printed before realizing that, they had to stick with it.  Yahweh is far more accurant but in reality GOD has many names but the name HE is most accurately know by is I AM.  This is the same name JESUS used for Himself in John 8:24   \n\nMore important, GOD wants a relationship with us far more then a formal agreement.  My kids knew I was their dad long before they knew my NAME!

Here r some numbers:\n1 THE NUMBER OF UNITY. Father. Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Ephesians 4:5 "one Lord, one faith, one baptism."  \n2 THE NUMBER OF DIVISION. The Son who has two natures: human and divine. There are 2 Testaments: the Old and New. Man is Male and Female. Rom. 9 speaks of two vessels: one for honorable use and the other for dishonorable use. Two types of people: Sheep and Goats. There are two ages, this age and the age to come: Matt. 12:32; 13:39,40,49; Mark 10:30.  \n3 THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. The Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There are three qualities of the universe: Time, Space, and Matter. To exist (except for God), all three are required. Each quality consists of three elements. Therefore, we live in a trinity of trinities. \n4 THE NUMBER OF CREATION - North, South, East, West; 4 Seasons. The 4th commandment is the first that refers to the earth. The 4th clause of the Lord's Prayer is the first that mentions the earth. The materials of the tabernacle were four and so were the coverings and the ornamentations.  \n5 THE NUMBER OF GRACE. Redemption. Israel came out of Egypt 5 in rank (Ex 13:18). David picked up 5 smooth stone to fight Goliath (1 Sam. 17:40). The Holy Anointing Oil was pure and composed of 5 parts (Ex. 30:23-25).  \n6 THE NUMBER OF MAN: Man was created on the 6th day. Man labors 6 days only. The Serpent was created on the 6th day. The 6th commandment is "Thou shalt not murder." Six words are used for man: Adam, ish, Enosh, gehver, anthropos, anar. Also, 6 x 6 = 36. 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 . . . 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 666. 666 is the number of the antichrist. This means that the name of the antichrist in Greek adds up to 666. This is a mockery of the Trinity.  \n7 THE NUMBER OF SPIRITUAL PERFECTION. Seven days in a week. Seven colors in the spectrum. Seven of the 10 commandments begin with the word "not." There are 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 parables in Matthew, and 7 promises to the churches \n8 THE NUMBER OF NEW BEGINNINGS. 8 people on Noah's Ark (2 Pet. 2:5); circumcision on 8th day (Gen. 17:12); God made 8 covenants with Abraham \n9 THE NUMBER OF JUDGMENT. There are 9 greek words derived from the root word meaning judgment = dikay. The following words each occur 9 times in the Bible: abussos (bottomless pit); asebee (ungodly); aselgeia (lasciviousness); and astrapee (lightning). The gifts of the spirit are 9 in number (1 Cor. 12:8-10): the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues.  \n10 THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. There are 10 commandments (Ex. 20); 1/10 of your income is a tithe; the were 10 plagues on Egypt (Ex. 9:14ff); 10 x 10 silver sockets formed the foundation of the Tabernacle (Ex 38:27); There are 10 "I AM's spoken by Jesus in John: 1) I am the Bread of Life (6:35); 2) I am the Bread of Life which came down from heaven (6:41); 3) I am the Living Bread (6:51); 4) I am the Light of the world (8:12); 5) I am One that bears witness of Myself (8:18); 6) I am the Door of the sheep (10:7,9); 7) I am the Good Shepherd (10:14); 8) I am the Resurrection and the Life (14:6); 9) I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life (11:25); and 10) I am the True Vine (15:1,5). \n12 THE NUMBER OF GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION. There were 12 tribes of Israel; 12 Apostles, 12 foundations in the heavenly Jerusalem; 12 gates; 12 pearls; 12 angels. The measurements of New Jerusalem are 12,000 furlongs or stadia, while the wall will be 144 (12 x 12) cubits (Rev. 21:16-17).  \n40 THE NUMBER OF PROBATION OR TRIAL. The Israelites wandered for 40 years (Deut. 8:2-5). Moses was on the mount for 40 days (Exodus 24:18); 40 days of Jonah and Nineveh (Jonah 3:4). Jesus was tempted for 40 days (Matt. 4:2).  \n153 In John 21:11, after the resurrection the disciples caught 153 fish. The word fish in Greek is 'ixthus&#39

The elect and chosen are the same in the New Testament. \nThe Jews were the chosen people in the Old Testament. But they rejected Jesus as the messiah, so the kingdom was taken away from them (Matthew 21:43). \n"Chosen" has a different meaning in the OT & NT. The chosen in the OT received "the law" and were to spread the message.\nThe chosen in the NT are the ones God predestined to be adopted (Ephesians 1: 4:11)

It really depends on how you read the bible.  I would think that the way God is portrayed in the Old Testament is the way that people looked at power (kings, etc) - all knowing, vengeful, demanding ....  I think the OT God really is more a perception that people had rather than an accurate depiction of God Himself. \n\nThe NT God is trickier.  It certainly is a different God - they definitely don't act the same, but I think it's not a different God as much as it is a different perception of God.  The NT perception of God is based on Jesus' perception.  Now if you believe Jesus is the Son of God, then you have to label this a pretty accurate perception.  On the other hand, whether you consider Jesus to be divine or not, you have to agree that it's a different perception; one that is at least as likely to be accurate as the one from the OT.

Notice, too, how other translations render this part of the verse: \n\n\n1808: "and the word was a god." The New Testament in an Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome's New Translation: With a Corrected Text. \n \n1864: "and a god was the word." The Emphatic Diaglott, interlinear reading, by Benjamin Wilson. \n \n1928: "and the Word was a divine being." La Bible du Centenaire, L'Evangile selon Jean, by Maurice Goguel. \n \n1935: "and the Word was divine." The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed. \n \n1946: "and of a divine kind was the Word." Das Neue Testament, by Ludwig Thimme. \n \n1950: "and the Word was a god." New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures. \n \n1958: "and the Word was a God." The New Testament, by James L. Tomanek. \n \n1975: "and a god (or, of a divine kind) was the Word." Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Siegfried Schulz. \n \n1978: "and godlike kind was the Logos." Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Johannes Schneider.  \n\nThese versions make more sense than the King James because how can Jesus be with God and BE God at the same time? Also, if Jesus IS God, then that would contradict John 1:18 where it says: "No man has seen God at any time."

The basic translation of the Hebrew God's name is YHWH.  The Jews left out the vowels because no human is worthy to either write or speak the full name of God.  Modern English speakers, fill in the vowel spaces with likely sounds, producing Yahweh.\n\nAs far as we can tell, the oldest name for the Hebrew God is YHWH, making this the most proper name.  Also, Christianity and Islam were created out of Judaism, so YHWH would be most proper name for the God of Christians and the God of Islam.\n\nThe basic story, from what I remember, is that Abraham was contacted by YHWH and his family and those who chose to follow YHWH became the Jews.  Over time, the Jews needed a Messiah, or a spiritual leader to bring them back to the right way of worship, so Jesus was sent to earth to help the Jews find the right path.  The followers of Jesus became the Christians.  After some time, Mohammed was born and spent his young life traveling, and came in contact with both Christian and Jewish merchants, from whom he learned about YHWH.  After some time, Mohammed was contacted by YHWH and became his prophet.  The followers of Mohammed became the Muslims.\n\nThat is roughly how it all went.  So, Non-Jews call God YHWH because that is his name, and we all follow that same God.

Occasionally, "Jehovah" is represented as "JHVH", although in Hebrew the Tetragrammatton's equivalent Roman letters are "YHWH". It seems unlikely that "JWH" is intended as an abbreviation for "Jehovah".\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

No.\nTypically, the OT book of Daniel is associated with the NT book of Revelation.

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscient of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.\n\nIt's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.\n\nIf we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal!

With your point comes an important one.  First, the OT implies many gods "I am A vain and jealous god (implying there must be more).  Worship no other gods BEFORE me (implying its ok to worship after him).\nAlso, to think of a being as powerful and omnipitent as God looks like us, thinks like us, and has human emotions JUST LIKE US is rediculous.  I think that's just humans putting a face on God to better relate.

'Elohim' means 'powers,' and is used in the Bible to refer to Gd because Gd is the Ultimate Power. It is interesting to note that in Hebrew, the verb and the subject must agree in gender and number. However, the verb with Elohim, when referring to Gd and not to just powers, is in the singular, and does not recognize the word Elohim as a plural.\n\nThe word, 'adonai,' means 'my master,' or 'my lord' as in the lords and ladies of old England. It is a word read or said instead of the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter name for Gd whose vowels we dont know, as they were only pronounced by the High Priest, in the Holy of Holies in the Temple, when he was alone, once a year, on Yom Kippur.\n\nJehovah is simply a misunderstanding of the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton mentioned above. First, Hebrew has no j-as-in-joe sound. The Christian German Biblical 'Scholars' of the 1800's transliterated this using their 'j' pronounced as a 'y' sound. When English speakers saw this, they mispronounced the Hebrew as a j-as-in-joe sound. \n\nWhy 3 names for the same Gd? Because Gd did not reveal Himself with the Tetragrammaton as His name until later in the History of the Jews, and so, until then, the Jews called Him something else. There is a Jewish tradition that the name Gd uses at any particular time reveals the character trait He was expressing at that time. So, for example, if the text uses Elohim, like at the story of Noah, it was His sense of justice or mercy that was acting, justice for the evil people of the earth, mercy for Noah and his family and the future generations of human and animal life.
