What is His Name? "YHWH, ALLAH, JEHOVAH, MOSES, GOD, EINSTEEN, JESUS, DARWIN, JOSEPH, MOHAMMED,  HASHEM, ?

This question has been asked before, and I've answered it a dozen times.  In the Old Testament, the Hebrew is YHWH, it means "I am" (ie., without a name).  For example, Moses asked God what is name was and what he should tell Pharaoh it was.  God replies, "Tell him, I am."  God does not need a name.

Muslims claim that the name Allah can be found in the Bible. This is no different than what the Jehovah's Witnesses do for the name Jehovah. Allah is not called Yahweh once in the Koran but neither is Yahweh called Allah in the Bible. So they can't be the same God. Neither is the word Elohim which is applied to Yahweh over 2,500 times in the Bible used in the Koran. Neither is he called I Am, which He said to Moses would be His name forever.\nThe God of the Bible identifies himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacobs name is later changed to the name Israel, being the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. The God of the Bible calls Jerusalem the city of David and that the Messiah would descend from his lineage. Neither does the God of the Bible does not mention Mecca or Medina but instead Jerusalem 800 times. Yet Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran, which the Muslim claims as there own.\nThe God in the Bible is called the God of the Jews, an impossibility with Allah. They are called his chosen people, but they are not Allah's chosen. Allah commands the Muslim to not take the Jews or Christians as friends, Sura.5:51 disdains the Jews. Mohammed said, “The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them.” (Mishkat Al Masabih Sh.M. Ashraf pp.147, 721, 810-11, 1130). So how could Israel inherit the land or any of God's promises from Allah, if he is their God. Clearly he is not the same God of the Bible.\nMuslims trying to prove their position from the Bible point to the Old Testament with the word alleluyah, interpreting the first portion of the word alle as Allah. The word [H]alleluyah is not a compound Hebrew word. It is not two words but a singular word meaning praise to Yahweh. (alle- praise, lu-to, yah-Yaweh). The beginning of the word is Hallel meaning praise. This has nothing to do with an Allah, and the last syllable of the word is a reference to Yahweh the God of the Bible, this is hardly any evidence for their assertions. They are also confusing Aramaic with Arabic. This is not unusual, as Muslims will often take words and meanings set in another language and culture and adopt them for proof of their own book or religion.\nThis word play only gets more ludicrous as they try to have Jesus saying the name of their God. When Jesus was on the cross they claim when he cried out Eli, Eli it was really is Allah, Allah. The New Testament was written in Greek, however it points us to him speaking the Aramaic language, not Arabic. Jesus was quoting Psalm 22:1 which read in full says, Eli, Eli Sabbathani “My God, My God why have you forsaken me.” What makes even less sense for this position is the fact that they don't believe that it was Jesus on the cross in the first place, but that another took His place. Some think it was Judas; so it was Judas crying out Allah, Allah?\nThe first Arabic translation of the Bible came into existence about the 9th century. Nowhere is the name of Allah found in the Old or New Testament. When Islam became the dominant political force people were coerced to use the name Allah for God or suffer the consequences from the hands of militant Muslims. Because of Islam's dominance Allah became the common name of God. The translators of the Bible gave in to the religious pressures and substituted Allah for Yahweh in the Arabic Bibles, but this is not the name of the God of the Hebrews, nor of the creator who made heaven and earth because of its source in paganism. His nature and attributes have only a few basic similarities and many more differences. And the most important point is that all through the Qu'ran it says Allah has no son. \n\nSource(s):\n\nNow. explain this muslims:\n\nIn Isaiah 9:6-7, it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son? The "Mighty God" in the next verse.\n\nJESUS CHRIST IS: "THE MIGHTY GOD"\n\nIsaiah vs 6:\nFor unto us a child is born,

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?

There is not an easy answer to this question.  As I understand it Arabic is is a relatively new language and Allah is  the term for God.  The ancient generic term for God  was El  and I would suspect that Allah is derived from El rather than Jah.  I believe that Yahweh is an exclusive Hebrew term.  (Jehovah is an English attempt at transliteration and Yahweh is a more refined attempt)\n\nYahweh was not used in common speech, and even in religious declarations was substituted by Adonai, hence the Biblical translation LORD.  Yahweh is the thrice holy God (implying that you can not get anything more holy) Even references to God that are direct are given remoteness so it is the voice of God that walked in the garden and the angel that spoke out of the bush to Moses.\n\nMoses was told that  the  forefather's were unaware of the holy  name, however, the text reckons that they were which could mean that the ancient oral traditions were revised as the scriptures were being compiled.\n\nEl, i understand, was actually a pagan deity but the term meant God rather I suppose in the same way as biro  means a ball point pen and hoover a vacuum cleaner.\n\nThe main problem is that we do not have a concept of a God with a personal name and are rather sketchy on holiness.  The best that we have been able to do is to give God a capital letter.\n\nThe Lord Jesus gave us the idea of a God that was personal to us, Hallowed Father.  The apostle develops it and declares we cry Abba, this is common in many languages, ba ba  Chinese, papa, English and other European languages.\n\nThere is only one recorded instance where the Lord did not address God as Father and that was on the cross where he used Eloi .  You see the name of God is holy, and he would not have uttered it in such a place of death and cursing, not until his work was complete and sin was paid for, then he presented his offering and said "Father into your hands I commit my spirit"\n\nJesus is the latinised form of Joshua or if you prefer  Yeshua which means Yah saves ( should it be Yahshua?) \n\nYahweh as well as holiness also carries with it a concept of salvation, of deliverance, of preservance.\n\nBoth Allah and  Yahweh carry the idea of hope and promise.  There can only be one God who is the one God and both names carry this concept.  In view of this reasoning both must be the same,  however, I don't think their theologies quite agree.  In the bible which has been corrupted according the the proponets of the Quran  Isaiah declares \n"As the rain and snow come down from the heavens\nand do not return without watering the earth,\nmaking it produce grain\ngiving seed for sowing and bread to eat,\nso it is with my words issuing from my mouth;\nit will not return to me empty\nwithout accomplishing my purpose\n and succeeding in the task for which I sent it"\n\nTo my mind that does not give much room for corruption nor for the new to usurp the old.\n\nThere again the Quran states something like has God acquired a son? And there are lots of curses on those who say so and then the idea of a whole pantheon is introduced of aunts and uncles and cousins and whatever and riduculed  for God is one and uniquily one.\n\nYet the psalmist declares 'You are my son.' he said to me\n'this day I became your father....'\n\nTherefore I would suggest that God is used unless out of deference Allah or another term is used whenever refering about God, and it is not necessary to use Yahweh or Jehovah.  \n\nWhen you are addressing God, and callling on his name, to seek his presence to make  petition then a tem of reverence is required

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.)

On one celebrated occasion, God pronounced his own name, repeating it in the hearing of Moses. Moses wrote an account of that event that has been preserved in the Bible down to our day. (Exodus 34:5) God even wrote his name with his own "finger." When he had given Moses what we today call the Ten Commandments, God miraculously wrote them down. The record says: "Now as soon as [God] had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai he proceeded to give Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone written on by God's finger." (Exodus 31:18) God's name appears eight times in the original Ten Commandments. (Exodus 20:1-17) Thus God himself has revealed his name to man both verbally and in writing. So, what is that name?  \n\nIn the Hebrew language it is spelled with four letters. These four letters, called the Tetragrammaton, are read from right to left in Hebrew and can be represented in many modern languages as YHWH or JHVH. God's name, represented by these four consonants, appears almost 7,000 times in the original "Old Testament," or Hebrew Scriptures.  \n\nThe name is a form of a Hebrew verb ha·wah', meaning "to become," and actually signifies "He Causes to Become."* Thus, God's name identifies him as the One who progressively fulfills his promises and unfailingly realizes his purposes. Only the true God could bear such a meaningful name.

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! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. 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\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/na/index.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/na/
