| Who Is Jehovah ? by Jokanem(m): 5:55am On Jan 02, 2023 |
Who Is Jehovah? Jehovah is the true God of the Bible, the Creator of all things. (Revelation 4:11) The prophets Abraham and Moses worshipped him, as did Jesus. (Genesis 24:27; Exodus 15:1, 2; John 20:17) He is the God, not just of one people, but of “all the earth.”—Psalm 47:2. Jehovah is God’s unique name as revealed in the Bible. (Exodus 3:15; Psalm 83:18) It comes from a Hebrew verb that means “to become,” and a number of scholars suggest that the name means “He Causes to Become.” This definition well fits Jehovah’s role as the Creator and the Fulfiller of his purpose. (Isaiah 55:10, 11) The Bible also helps us to know the Person behind the name Jehovah, especially his dominant quality of love.—Exodus 34:5-7; Luke 6:35; 1 John 4:8. The name Jehovah is an English translation of the Hebrew name for God—the four letters יהוה (YHWH), known as the Tetragrammaton. The exact pronunciation of the divine name in ancient Hebrew is not known. However, the form “Jehovah” has a long history in the English language, first appearing in William Tyndale’s Bible translation of 1530. Why is the pronunciation of God’s name in ancient Hebrew unknown? Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, using only consonants. The Hebrew-speaking reader could easily provide the appropriate vowels. However, after the Hebrew Scriptures (“Old Testament”) were completed, some Jews adopted the superstitious belief that it was wrong to utter God’s personal name. When they read aloud a scripture that contained God’s name, they substituted expressions such as “Lord” or “God.” As centuries passed, this superstition spread and the ancient pronunciation was eventually lost. Some feel that the divine name was pronounced “Yahweh,” while others suggest different possibilities. A Dead Sea Scroll containing a portion of Leviticus in Greek transliterates the name Iao. Early Greek writers also suggest the pronunciations Iae, I·a·beʹ, and I·a·ou·eʹ, but none of these can be proved to be the pronunciation used in ancient Hebrew. * Misconceptions about God’s name in the Bible Misconception: Translations that use “Jehovah” have added this name. Fact: The Hebrew word for God’s name in the form of the Tetragrammaton appears some 7,000 times in the Bible. * Most translations arbitrarily remove God’s name and replace it with a title such as “Lord.” Misconception: Almighty God does not need a unique name. Fact: God himself inspired Bible writers to use his name thousands of times, and he directs those who worship him to use his name. (Isaiah 42:8; Joel 2:32; Malachi 3:16; Romans 10:13) In fact, God condemned false prophets who tried to make people forget his name.—Jeremiah 23:27. Misconception: Following the tradition of the Jews, God’s name should be removed from the Bible. Fact: It is true that some Jewish scribes refused to pronounce the divine name. However, they did not remove it from their copies of the Bible. In any case, God does not want us to follow human traditions that deviate from his commandments.—Matthew 15:1-3. Misconception: The divine name should not be used in the Bible because it is not known exactly how to pronounce it in Hebrew. Fact: This line of reasoning assumes that God expects people who speak different languages to pronounce his name identically. However, the Bible indicates that God’s worshippers in the past who spoke different languages pronounced proper names differently. Consider, for example, the Israelite judge Joshua. First-century Christians who spoke Hebrew would have pronounced his name Yehoh·shuʹaʽ, while those who spoke Greek would have said I·e·sousʹ. The Bible records the Greek translation of Joshua’s Hebrew name, showing that Christians followed the sensible course of using the form of proper names common in their language.—Acts 7:45; Hebrews 4:8. The same principle can be applied to translating the divine name. Far more important than the exact pronunciation chosen is that God’s name be given its rightful place in the Bible. 1 Like 1 Share

Jehovah or Yahweh is also known as the evil entity called the DEMIURGE. According to ancient history, Jehovah is the same person as - ENLIL from the ancient Sumerian lore YALDABOTH from the ancient Gnostic lore ZEUS from the ancient Greek lore JUPITER from the ancient Roman lore,etc. He is a god of War and destruction. He is freakishly bloodthirsty - checkout the old testament. 3 Likes |

You may hear from some people that Jehovah’s Witnesses get into trouble with the law, that they are banned by some governments, or that they are otherwise bad people. Why this contrary talk about them? It is not because the Witnesses disrespect the law but because they follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Jesus said to his disciples that men would reproach them, persecute them, and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against them. This is because God’s chief opposer, Satan, is the god of this world, and he would like to turn men away from serving God.—Matthew 5:10-12; 10:16-22, 34-39; 24:9, 10; John 15:17–16:3; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:17. When the apostles were arrested and taken to court, it was not because they were criminals, men of violence, or seditionists. It was because they were preaching the good news. When the apostle Paul appealed his case to higher courts, it was to defend and legally establish the right of Christians to preach the good news.—Acts 4:18-20; 5:28-32; Philippians 1:7. Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses are law-abiding Christians who pay their taxes and show respect for those in authority. They pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar and God’s things to God. If they have a conflict with any governmental authority, it is because the government does not recognize their preaching work, or because of their neutral stand in affairs between the nations. But in this Jehovah’s Witnesses must take the same position as did the apostles, who stated: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.”—Acts 5:29; Mark 12:17; John 18:36; Titus 3:1, 2. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not seek persecution but would prefer to lead a calm and quiet life. However, if because of their following God’s law and the example of Jesus Christ they are persecuted, they are happy to endure it.—Matthew 5:10-12; Acts 5:40, 41; 1 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:2; 1 Peter 3:14, 15; 4:12-16. We don't want to please anybody but Jehovah God. That's why anything he dislikes we dislike too no matter how people feel about it. Since Jesus Christ stated that his true followers will be persecuted, when we face reproach, lies , blackmail and persecution, we welcome it as an indication that we are in the right track. What have people not done or say to Jesus when he was on earth? Happily JW |

Maynman:The above is a lie! Why not ask many of those you call "THEISTS" on this forum to tell you the name of their church? The only group in focus is Jehovah's Witnesses {Matthew 5:14-16} that's why it seems as if all the evil ever heard about those claiming believers is committed by this group. Try what i told you now start challenging the so called Christians on this forum to mention the name of their church just as JWs boldly do, most times when they go out to rape with the pretext that they're preaching the only church that comes to the minds of those hearing the story is "Jehovah's Witnesses" and since many of them were told by their atheist leaders that Jehovah's Witnesses should be hated most of them often fabricate lies against the group! Matthew 5:11-12 You do yourself this good by making sure of all things {1Thessalonians 5:21} instead of following the crowd of people that you yourself know they're liars! Exodus 23:2 |
