omonuan:

This is called begging the question in logic: you are just simply asking readers to accept a conclusion as true without offering a reason for doing so. Because your assertion assumes something to be true that actually requires proof, your assertion is merely circular.

You simply re asserted your premise as your conclusion without proving anything. Until you offer proof of your premise, they cannot function as reasons to justify other claims.

To see the folly here, the table could be turned by a nonbeliever who would then say: just because somebody says there is God does not mean there is God. The is the problem with begging the questions or fallacy of circular reasoning. Let me demonstrate what I mean:

Your claim is: "the fact that anybody feels there is no God does not mean that there is no God." "There is God" (reason). Now we can see that the reason offered to support the claim is really just a restatement of the claim and nothing else. It is a classical logical fallacy.

Your premise is actually no different from your conclusion.

Just enjoyed the logical reasoning, though we all know the truth, no one oppresses the truth, truth is supreme and it must be told. I give praise to the almighty God.

@op

And you dont know His name? What then is the purpose of writing?

HE IS JEHOVAH/YAHWEH (YHWH). Psalm 83:18. The most powerful NAME in the universe. A name that occurred about 7000 times in the bible.

It is not corruption of the name, but linguistics makes us understand that various names could have derivatives of sounds with various languages. When the white men called the Izon people Ijaw, it's a result of their accent. The yoruba will call Jesus, 'Jesu', etc...

seunbadmus:
Latin... a derivative of the Hebrew Yahweh

The origins for the composite term Jehovah came
from early English translators who transposed the
vowels from Adonai to the Tetragrammaton, and
read the word literally so that the Y in YHWH, was
pronounced as a J in English, and the W as a V.[1]
Taking the spellings at face value may have been as
a result of not knowing about the Q're perpetuum,
thus resulting in the term "Jehovah" and its
spelling variants. The Catholic Encyclopedia (1910)
states: "Jehovah (Yahweh), the proper name of God
in the Old Testament".[16] Had they known about
the Q're perpetuum, the term "Jehovah" might
never have come into being.[17] Emil G. Hirsch was
among the modern scholars that recognized
"Jehovah" to be "grammatically
impossible" ( Jewish Encyclopedia (1901), Vol VII,
p. 87).

The Hebrew scholar Wilhelm Gesenius [1786–1842]
had suggested that the Hebrew punctuation יַהְוֶה,
which is transliterated into English as "Yahweh",
might more accurately represent the pronunciation
of the Tetragrammaton than the Biblical Hebrew
punctuation " יְהֹוָה", from which the English name
"Jehovah" has been derived. His proposal to read
YHWH as "יַהְוֶה" (see image to the left) was based
in large part on various Greek transcriptions, such
as ιαβε, dating from the first centuries CE, but also
on the forms of theophoric names. In his Hebrew
Dictionary, Gesenius supports "Yahweh" (which
would have been pronounced [jahwe], with the
final letter being silent) because of the Samaritan
pronunciation Ιαβε reported by Theodoret, and
that the theophoric name prefixes YHW [jeho] and
YH [jo] can be explained from the form "Yahweh".
[22] Today many scholars accept Gesenius's
proposal to read YHWH as יַהְוֶה. Gesenius' proposal
gradually became accepted as the best scholarly
reconstructed vocalized Hebrew spelling of the
Tetragrammaton.

Why is Yahweh not English enuf? Consider the name Netanyahu---how do u handle it if u want d word "Jehovah" to be there instead of Yahweh which appears as a shortened form "yahu" as no creature can take d Divine Name?!

It is men that made God in their own image
God is not in human form as most think
He is a spirit and can appear in any form just to pass a message unto you.

You are not alone brother. Thinking is hard for some. A lot of religious dogmas do not require logical reasoning and most if not all of the religious assertions on this thread and any where else are circular including your quote above. Usually, we fall into the trap of circular reasoning when we are arguing for something we’ve believed for a very, very long time without ever examining why we believe it.

It just “feels true" like you said, so when pressed for a reason, we reword the conclusion and offer it as a reason. This way of reasoning is fallacious of course but it is hard to figure for the proponent. Giving up long held belief that we have no proof for is hard. We just create a straw man usually an unverifiable higher being.

The challenge of addressing a circular argument is getting the proponent to examine the long-held assumption that functions in his mind as a reason for the conclusion. He'll resist letting go of that, though, because doing so leaves him with nothing but a "baseless claim," and he'll have to reexamine the issue and essentially start over.

In summary though, simply assuming a claim is true does not serve as evidence for that claim. This is especially clear in particularly blatant cases: "X is true. The evidence for this claim is that X is true."

he said thou shall not call my name in vain, that's why his name is hardly used, to avoid calling it in vain

BTW, FTC

Are you telling us so we can begin to call him in vain or what?

BadBoy25: Jesus christ is not as wicked as the fanatical religious bigots . Adolf Hitler has a better chance at heaven than a lot of these hypocrites .
I don't even go to church. I have my own belief and view .
ok so just because the bible says the spirit of God was moving in the waters and then said let there be light ,you believe thats actually what happened ? that story is actually metaphorical . God which is light has always existed for all time .
also the earth is not only 6000 years old . the noah story and other numerous stories in the bible are not meant to be taken literally .
the garden of eden was not on this physical earth,it was a spiritual realm.
the imperfect physical earth and physical realm is what was inherited after adam and eve sinned. no one really knows how adam and eve landed on this physical earth from the spiritual realm . maybe they just suddenly found themselves with bodies in a forest etc. a cherubim was sent to guard the gate of the garden after adam and eve were kicked out . all of adam's offspring must overcome the serpent and resist the apple (temptations and evil) in order to return to the garden of eden (Heaven)

Bros ! Where did you get this analogy from? You are very close to the truth. Did you know Scientists have recently just discovered that the earth is a hologram (you know what this means) ? and another recent discovery is that the black hole maybe a passage to another dimension. Search this out!
