According to Psalms 83:18 it says that God's name is Jehovah. So why do people call him God or Jesus?

I'm sorry to have to take issue with the rabbi, but "John" is derived from Yôḥānān, short for יהוחנן Yəhôḥānān, meaning "Yahweh has been gracious [or 'has shown favor']." (The German name Johann is a bit closer to the original.)   It is NOT the same name as "Jonathan" (except for those who in more recent times have created the name "Jon" AS a nickname for Jonathan).  \n\nNote that "Jo" is not "God" (for which the Hebrew uses El or the "plural of majesty", "Elohim").  It is from "Ja/Yah/Yahu", the short form of the personal name of God in Hebrew (widely thought to be "Yahweh", traditionally considered very sacred and so replaced by "the LORD" [Hebrew, "Adonai"] to avoid speaking it).\n\nA related Hebrew name in that of the prophet Samuel's mother - "Hannah" [ḥānā], "gracious"(see 1 Samuel 1-2).  The name John also points to one of the most important proclamations of the Old Testament, that the LORD (Yahweh) is a "gracious" God who has shown his people grace/favor (see especially Exodus 34:6, whose expressions are echoed in many other places).  \n\nIncidentally, Hebrew names like Jonathan ["Yahweh has given"] and John ["Yahweh has been gracious"], and many others are "sentence names".  They make some confessional statement about God, and/or may be related to the circumstances of the child's birth.  These two names, for instance, would be very appropriate for a LONG-awaited child.  It is, in fact, precisely the circumstance of the birth of John the Baptist to the elderly Zechariah and Elizabeth [Luke 1]\n\n------------------\n\n"William" (as already noted) is originally a Germanic name, meaning something like "valiant protector".  Its popularity in English owed much to "William the Conqueror" (1066).  Actually, the Conqueror's name (and so our "William") does NOT come directly from the Germanic form of the name (which would be "Wilhelm")but from the Norman French form (from Old French) Guillaume.   Also, the "helm" part is related to the word "helmet" and might more literally refer to that object used for protection rather than just the abstract idea of protection.   At any rate, it is a name given to a warrior-leader who is regarded as the helmet/protection of a group of people.\n\nThe addition of an -s to form a surname is a common practice in English to indicate a "DESCENDANT of William" (In other words, adding an 's' to form a surname is essentially the same as adding "son" as in "Williamson", etc.)

mis translation and humans touch have change the meaning of God words.\n\nin the verse it has proved that he did not call his dad. but his God! means that he is a creation from God who calling his God. \n\njesus said : "...Listen O Israel: the lord our God is only one God"\n\n"why do you call me good? and there is no good but God"\n\nall this show you evidence that Jesus has seperated himself from what's called trinity or son of God. but people are too stubborn to change what they used to believe from childhood. imagine you believe in something since ur childhood and then someone came to you to correct what you have misunderstood. you will be very stubborn and wouldn't change your mind. \n\nand the word Son in the Bible dosen't really mean Son. and the words of God has been changed by people hands. \n\nJesus is just a creation just like Adam who came without father or mother. it's just God says Be! and it will Be!

Jehovah witnesses do not believe that Jesus is the son of God.  They chose to distort the bible to engulf their own beliefs.  The bible is not a buffet, you have to accept it in its entirety.  If you call parts of it a lie, then you are calling God a liar.  God is a God of truth, love and forgiveness.

I'm not sure what your asking. Jesus language?\n\nJesus Father is Jehova. = 1st in The Godhead.\nJesus is The Son of God = 2nd in the Trintiy.\nThe Holy Spirit = "Comfortor" = 3rd in the Trinity.\n\nHope this helps.

YHWH is know as the Tetagramaton. When Moses asked God his name, as mentioned in this forum, God said "I am, what I am". This response is an idiom of vagueness. In ancient times, if a person or god knew the divine name of another god, that person or god would have power over that god. During the time of Moses, Jews were not pure monotheists but were henotheists. What God is saying to Moses is: You can not know my name, You can not have power over me, I do not give up my power over you. I read the link cited with the question, and much of it is true.

The personal name of the only true God is JEHOVAH.\nJehovah is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton,which means,"he causes to become".These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH.\nNo human today can be certain how it was orginally pronounced in Hebrew.Because Biblical Hebrew was orginally written with only consonants,no vowels.When the language was in everyday use,readers easily provided the proper vowels.In time however,the Jews came to have the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God's personal name out loud,so they used substitute expressions.And the original pronounciation of the divine name was lost.\nMany scholars favour the spelling "Yahweh",but it is uncertain and there is no agreement among them.On the other hand,"Jehovah"is the form of the name that is more readily recognised,because it has been used in English for centuries and preserves,equally with other forms,the four consonants of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton.\nYou can find the divine name in the New World Translation which has had God's name put back where it belongs.\nOr you could try older versions of the King James Bible,in places such as Exodus 6:3;Psalm 83:18;Isaiah 12:2;26:4.\nThe American Standard Version has the name Jehovah used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures beginning with Genesis 2:4.\nThe New American Bible has a footnote on Exodus3:14 favouring the form :Yahweh" but the name does not appear in the main text of the translation.\nMany other Bibles also have in their footnotes God's Name and replace it in the text with titles such as "Lord";"God" etc

Yahweh is the Jewish name for Jehovah that is in English.\nFor more info go to http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/1999/2/8/article_04.htm\n\nYes I answer to Jehovah, because I know he is the one true God. The bible says so in the Old King James bible.\nExd. 6:3- And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.\nbut if you read any other bible except that one and the New World Translation you'll notice God Almighty's name was taken out and replaced with LORD.\nAin't that sad?

In the Hebrew OT, YHWH (still to close to the name of God for Hebrews to feel safe) was frequently replaced with Adonai - Hebrew for "Lord." (which is why the Greek NT uses Kurios - "Lord").  Your 13th Century monk used the vowled from Adonai with YHWH to form YaHoWaH - but in Ecclesiastical Latin 'J' and 'W' did not exist, so it became Jaehovah.\n\nMajor literary works, like the KJV, do as much to create language as to use the existing language.  So now, in English, Jehovah is the word for the name of God; in Hebrew it's YHWH.  Just like my name is Mark in English, Marco in Italian, and Maruku in Japanese - people use the letters and sounds available to them within the structure of their own language.

"God" can be defiled when written down; it can be erased, deleted. If you erase "G-d", it's not defiling the name of the almighty. \n\n"Because a name represents the reputation of the thing named, a name should be treated with the same respect as the thing's reputation. For this reason, God's Names, in all of their forms, are treated with enormous respect and reverence in Judaism.  The most important of God's Names is the four-letter Name represented by the Hebrew letters Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh (YHVH). It is often referred to as the Ineffable Name, the Unutterable Name or the Distinctive Name. Linguistically, it is related to the Hebrew root Heh-Yod-Heh (to be), and reflects the fact that God's existence is eternal. In scripture, this Name is used when discussing God's relation with human beings, and when emphasizing his qualities of lovingkindness and mercy. It is frequently shortened to Yah (Yod-Heh), Yahu or Yeho (Yod-Heh-Vav), especially when used in combination with names or phrases, as in Yehoshua (Joshua, meaning "the Lord is my Salvation"), Eliyahu (Elijah, meaning "my God is the Lord"), and Halleluyah ("praise the Lord").  Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better."

Jesus is not God. He never claimed to be God. At John 3:17, does it say that God came to earth? No. It says that God sent his Son, not himself.\n\nThe scripture you used at John 8:58 is another trinitarian "proof" that Jesus is God. But is it? The expression at John 8:58 is quite different from the one used at Exodus 3:14. Jesus did not use it as a name or a title but as a means of explaining his prehuman existence. Hence, note how some other Bible versions render John 8:58. \n\n1869: "From before Abraham was, I have been." The New Testament, by G. R. Noyes. \n \n1935: "I existed before Abraham was born!" The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed. \n \n1965: "Before Abraham was born, I was already the one that I am." Das Neue Testament, by Jörg Zink. \n \n1981: "I was alive before Abraham was born!" The Simple English Bible. \n \n1984: "Before Abraham came into existence, I have been." New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.  \n\nThus, the real thought of the Greek used here is that God's created "firstborn," Jesus, had existed long before Abraham was born. Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:22, 23, 30; Revelation 3:14. \n\nAgain, the context shows this to be the correct understanding. This time the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for claiming to "have seen Abraham" although, as they said, he was not yet 50 years old. (Verse 57) Jesus' natural response was to tell the truth about his age. So he naturally told them that he "was alive before Abraham was born!\n\nThere is no Bible verse that says Jesus is Almighty God.

Jesus is the son of God. God is a separate personage, who resides in heaven now and resided in heaven when Jesus walked the earth. God is not "3-in-1," as some claim, but three separate entities: God the Father, Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit). Three entities, of One Mind, comprise the Godhead.\n\nNote that Christ is a title, not a part of a name, and means "the anointed one." (The word Messiah also means "the anointed one," but the word is in a different language.)

The answer is Jesus is NOT God.\nHe is God's spokesman.\nThat's why he is sometimes called The Word.\nJust like an ambassador represents his government in a far away place.\nHe was sent to Israel, therefore he hesitated to have dealings with anyone not an Israelite.

Yahshua is Hebrew for what we term "Joshua" which means Jehovah is Salvation.\n\nYahweh is the closest we can come to what God called Himself since the Jewish scholars refused to spell out His Name fully. The closest we have is the consonants YHWH, or YaHWeH.\n\nEl is the word for God. Elohim is the plural--not "gods" but God in the mystic threefold unity. The Echad. See my study below, "Is God One or Three?"\n\nYHWH did not command for His names or titles to be changed. However, He also did not punish the Hebrews or the new Gentile church for it either. He knows who He is. He is the God of Abraham, Ysaak and Yakob, and His Name is to be worshipped and praised. Baruch HaShem Adonai. :)
