Ọmọ in that case the name "Jesus" is also invalid his parents never called him by that name.

He is YESHUA the prophet/son of YAHWEH

or

JESUS the prophet/son of JEHOVAH

So pick one! smiley

This shows how shallow your scriptural understanding is.

The name Jesus is the English translation of the Latin transliteration of the Greek word lēsous.

But the pronunciation of the four Tetragrammaton was lost. So, Yahweh or Jehovah were coined from the four Tetragrammaton YHWH, but scholar settled for YAHWEH as they believed its more closer to the Hebrew language than Jehovah. Which watchtower agreed with.

So the pronunciation of YHWH has long lost before Jesus was even born and it all started like this.

God Himself prohibited the Israelites from pronouncing the name

Jeremiah 44:26 - "Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth."

And God reminded the Israelites how their forefathers forgot His name for Baal.

Jer 23:27 - "Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal."

You see, reason why Jesus didn't bother to restore the name or use it was because another name will be given to MAN UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH MAN MUST BE SAVED. Acts 4:12 and while Apostle Paul applied that Joel 2:32 to Jesus Christ in Rom 10:13

Another evidence from the scripture is that the leaders were looking for every opportunity to nail Jesus Christ, had it been Jesus PRONOUNCED the name, that will be a great opportunity for them to see something to hold accused Him as the pronunciation of the name has been forbidden.

After resurrection, the name that is ABOVE ALL NAME was given at the mentioned of the name of Jesus, ALL KNEES must now both in heaven and on earth. Phil 2:9-10

That is why you see The Apostles did everything IN JESUS NAME not Jehovah.

I am not interested in your question about names. What is important is your salvation. If you are not born again, your knowledge of name of God or whatever will not save you.
So are you saying we don't need to know who JEHOVAH is according to psalm 83:18?
Are you also saying that the Christian God who is The Father is nameless but his son has a name?

Yeshua or Jesus, what name did his mother and disciples called him during his lifetime?

Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. Act 4:12

If his contemporaries like foster father, mother and disciples never called him "JESUS" then that can't be the name given for mankind's salvation.

Do you agree? smiley

God's Son said his father's name is important but churchians say it's of no use simply because Jesus' name is also important!

Is it not the father who made Jesus what he is? So how come the name of the father is trashed only for the son's name alone to be kept? cheesy
Re: Jesus Is Addressed Also As Lord God Almighty. See Evidence Of Scripture by Emusan(m): 9:54am On Apr 21
You're still showing this your lack of basic Bible knowledge.

MaxInDHouse:
Yeshua or Jesus, what name did his mother and disciples called him during his lifetime?

Jesus mother and Disciples will called Him the name in the Lang the speak that time.

If it's Hebrew it will be Yeshua
If it's Greek it will be lēsous

Since the New Testament was written in Greek then it means they probably pronounced lēsous.

Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. Act 4:12

If his contemporaries like foster father, mother and disciples never called him "JESUS" then that can't be the name given for mankind's salvation.

They called Him Yeshua/lēsous

They can't called Him with ENGLISH rendition when they are not speaking English.

How hard is this for you to grab?

Look at the screenshot below Matt 1:1 a Greek person will read the first part while an English person will read the second part.

The same with the Psalm 83:19 screenshot

A Hebrew man will read the right hand side while an English man will read the left hand side.

But what is evident here is that, in Hebrew it is LORD the person reading will pronounce and not Jehovah.

Do you agree? smiley

When you even lack the understanding of the subject matter.

The point here isn't translation issue but what is found in the original Lang.

I've provided the scriptures where God forbids the Israelites of mentioning His name and how the their forefathers forgot the name. It is also well known that the pronunciation of the name was forbidden before Christ was born.

So, the issue here are:

1. Did Jesus pronounce the name? Capital NO!
2. Did Jesus make use of the name? Capital NO!
3. Did Apostles make use of the name? Capital NO!

So, why none of them make use of the name?

Ans: Simply because a NAME that man must be saved will be given. Acts 4:12

So, if God wants us to make use of the name.

1. Jesus will have restore the actual pronunciation.
2. Jesus will use it multiple times to show how it should be used, so that no one will accuse another for wrong usage.
3. The Apostles will continue with the pronunciation and usage.
4. The pronunciation will never lost till this moment.
But the fact that none of this happened, it means no emphasis on the name anymore since The NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME HAD BEEN GIVEN and we see the usage and pronunciation of this name throughout the works of the NT writers.

The version you're using is what is misleading you.

Anywhere the title "LORD" is written in your Bible it's God's personal name that was written there before your translators replaced it with the title LORD.

Check these Bible books:
Exodus 6:3; Psalms 23:1; 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 24:6

Now at Deuteronomy 6:4

Moses used the divine name YHWH translated YAHWEH or JEHOVAH but your translators replaced it with the title LORD.

So at Mark 12:29 where Jesus said:

The first is "Hear oh Israel JEHOVAH our God is one JEHOVAH" just as Moses said your own translation rendered it this way:

"Hear oh Israel the Lord our God is one Lord"

That's why you don't grasp what is happening! smiley

That is why it's good to do small research to know the truth.

If what you said here is true then you shouldn't argue against Jesus being Jehovah.

The fact we have today is that ALL OLDEST KNOWN New Testament manuscripts never have the Tetragrammaton YHWH.

One of the reasons Watchtower gave for using Jehovah in the NT is the inclusion in Hebrew J version.

Meanwhile, Hebrew J Version are the manuscripts translated back to Hebrew about 1385AD which has YHWH in ALL PLACES WHERE LORD were Used.

But unfortunately the same Watchtower failed to applied J version in many places because that will make Jesus to be Jehovah.

For instance J7 and J8 translate 1 Peter 3:15 as: (J7) "Sanctify Jehovah God (who is Christ) in your hearts, ..."

In this case the NWT rejects the J Version's use of the word Jehovah, rather reading;

(NWT) "But sanctify the Christ as Lord in your hearts, ..."

J7 includes YHWH in reference to Jesus at Acts 9:5 - "Who are you, YHWH?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied."

Here the New World Translation choses not to follow the J versions, translating Acts 9:5 as;

"He asked: “Who are you, Lord?” He said: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting."

Other verses in which the Tetragrammaton appears in the "J" versions but not as Jehovah in the New World Translation include;

1 Corinthians 12:3
(J14) "...no one can say "Jesus is Lord Jehovah, except by the Holy Spirit."
(NWT) "nobody can say: "Jesus is Lord!" except by holy spirit.

2 Timothy 1:18
(J7,8,13,14,16,17,18,22,23,24) "The Lord Jehovah grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord Jehovah in that day..."

2 timothy 1:18 (NWT) "May the Lord grant him to find mercy from Jehovah in that day."

You can see what Watchtower sold to you and you're repeating here is false.

The NWT uses the divine name where it correlates to what is inspired in the Hebrews Scriptures so there is a careful approach in the translation work to verify where Jehovah applies but since you think Jehovah is the same as Jesus how can you figure out such errors in the old translations?

First of all there must be an agreement that the father totally differs from the son if you're not interested in that then your research will hit the wall! smiley

This is where the manipulation comes in.

First you have to proof that New Testament writers used the Tetragrammaton.

But as we know today, no known oldest NT manuscripts have the name but Lord or God.

so there is a careful approach in the translation work to verify where Jehovah applies

It you're being careful then it means you're injecting your own manipulation.

That is why Watchtower came out to state the criteria they use but under scrutinized it's evident Watchtower was biased as they didn't follow their own rules.

but since you think Jehovah is the same as Jesus how can you figure out such errors in the old translations?

I didn't think so I only clarified your statement.

As you claimed "Anywhere LORD appears in the scriptures is YHEWH that should be there" then you shouldn't argue Jesus being Jehovah.

First of all there must be an agreement that the father totally differs from the son if you're not interested in that then your research will hit the wall! smiley

That has already been established even before Russell was born.

The points are:

1. Was the name YHWH used in the NT?
2. Jesus didn't make use of YHWH anytime.
3. Did any English versions that insert Jehovah or Yahweh in the NT made mistake?
