Jehovah - Sharwama nko? How many names has God said to be his name? He only gave us one name which is JEHOVAH.

I saw the OP displayed her lack of Bible knowlegde when she said Jehovah - Yahweh is also God's name. What is Jehovah, What is Yahweh? One is English and the other is Hebrew.
Exodus 3:15 (your translation) "God said to Moses, Say this to the people, the Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you': this is my name for ever,and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations"

Please ooo, I don't know if I don't understand simple English. Where is the NAME God was talking about in the Verse? All I can see is "I am The Lord" Is that a name?

@ Seun, pls define what you mean by derailing according to ur almighty rules....this is becoming neccessary coz itz obvious you are tolerating all those athiests and like minds who wont stop at anything but derail, post insulting comments, abuse posters sensitivity in almost any Christian related topics.
It doesn't concern me if you yourself is an athiest, pls.. all i'm saying is that, if you are applying those ur rules/laws in other sections, you must apply it in religious section too....to tell you the truth, itz in religious section that you need more monitoring and enforcing of those rules.
I've never insulted anybody for been an athiest, a JW, a muslim or a herbalist and i respect individuals choice and hence wont poke my nose into any thread created by any let alone posting/commenting offensively and i do seriously expect same from all other religious mind.

For the JW brothren, you don't need to always force you doctrine on others, pls....no need to argue on nairaland when you know your biblical viewpoints is different from other Christians....creat ur own thread if you are not owk with others'...

NoContract:
So Jesus is now God? Or a [lesser] god?

I need your viewpoint. OP!

Christians confusing each other since 11 C.E


Jesus is God! Period.
One day, He will appear in the sky, riding on a swift
cloud, shining like the sun, enforcing judgment on
the earth. He is the Alpha & Omega. He is the Lion & the
Lamb. He is the most merciful & most
compassionate. The holy One. The Almighty. He
wraps Himself in light. He is beautiful beyond
comprehension. He is indescribable, unsearchable,
uncontainable, unchangeable, the ancient One, the I
Am.... Human mind cannot understand God, you cannot
put God in your small mold. He is way bigger than
we can ever imagine.

I guess u rep..JW.
yes, i knw you pple re peaceful and hardly insult but you always derail threads with your so so different views and strong arguement. Everybody dont have to see things in the same way
we both know your biblical uderstanding is different from other Christians and i have no problem with that but dont derail threads just because you dont agree with the views presented....

Africa, particularly Nigeria will never be on the same industrialized level as the progressing and technologically advanced Asians who are strongly in touch with their pagan/traditional root, for it is unfortunate that someone like the OP and the other who listed Arabic names of an Arab idols are the majority in this colonial nation and in it government. How can we move forward? It is appalling to see the minds of my fellow youths has been irredeemably conditioned by their brainwashed parents and the profit-making, jet-owning pastors and religious houses to believe Jehovah and or Allah of the Jewish and Arabic tribes are our salvation and the only solution to our problem, while failing to realize that despite the so called leaders of Nigeria keep swearing oath with any of the two Holy Book these Abrahamic idols are based on, before assuming office but nevertheless still continue to indulge in heinous corruption borne out of utter greed, because they knew and have seen that no Jesus nor Mohammed nor Allah nor Yahweh has done anything to punish them, nor has there been any angel nor malak has ever descended from heaven or al-jana to deal with them for swearing on the names of their lord and as a result there's extreme retrogression in the country and may continue to be. For instance no steady electricity supply since the colonials left, horrible roads everywhere, lack of social amenities and basic infrastructure that any modern society is defined by such as uninterrupted electricity supply instead of generator importation, absence of mass transit achievable through functioning railway system as there is all over Europe but instead the same adopted Abrahamic religions is constantly utilized by the leaders of Christendom and Islamdom in Nigeria to knowingly (but unconcerned) plunge the republic deeper into an anomic society by continuing to euphemized its followers with the materialistic notion that the proof of God's blessing in your life (reverse psychology) is if you can acquire fortune and wealth (by any means provided tithes and offerings are regularly paid), drive luxury cars (that we don't manufacture but import), then what threat should the unavailability of electricity supply pose when you can buy the best electric generator or biggest diesel plant (which is an import depended industry in Nigeria). Thanks to thousands of Nigerian leaders of these Abrahamic religions the youths are becoming more decadent as trends passes by, check out the sort of lewd music and videos spinning out here and there, the kinds of lascivious "boskona/bendown-select" massively imported for our female-folks to exhibit their features for irresponsible married men who flash the cash looted from whatever branch of the government or private sector they may have corruptly fixed themselves through man-know-man, clique-pact or intimidation breeding more incompetency and perpetually driving a cycle of square pegs in round holes system to which when the heat is hot they remember to resort to the diabolic aspect of native mysticism. It is part of human nature to be violent, loyal, lustful, greedy, dishonest, angry, loving etc because they are all constructed from the emotion triggered by either a physical or psychological stimuli but each and every society of the world have devised various ways to curb this mortal proclivities from check and balances to types of government perfected to suit their system of living without anything to do with religion. Now that this kinds of government is adopted in Nigeria and fused with Abrahamic religions, Nigeria can never work, and if you think it will one day, then where's the sign, from plane crashes, to crippled national security resulting to internal terrorism (Boko Haram) to kidnapping and armed robberies (unemployment), to crippled health system (Ebola and malaria surge) etc. There would still be cases of embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds for ours is a breed of humankind that doesn't understand the concept of rule of law of a given constitution as they do in those country where these concepts where created and perfected to manage and govern their society, hence various kinds of government and system of rule that best suit them, now to import that here to use and apply will never WORK for ours are the lawbreaking lawmakers who with impunity would continue to trample over the oppressed and widen the gap between class. Hence it should suffice that the only solution is the re-invention of the traditional check and balance that our ancestors used in ancient times to suppress and eventually kill any corrupt disposition by making any would-be candidate to pledge his/her manifestos by swearing a binding oath never to do so, so and so in the contactivated presence of sixteen to thirty two of the native deities of the land that whatsoever a way shall be taken to reverse it should bring forth a wrath so devastating his/her beloved ones shall perish for EKWENSU and OGUN and ISHOKI and AZIZA and SANGO and MAZHILLI and CHIDON and SHOPONA and AYILALA and MAGIRO and OSISIKANKWU and OGHENE and OKIJA and AMADIOHA and eighteen other aggressive deities are more than up to the task, all they just need to do is to steal a penny and the result is seen instanta! The difference between all our various native deities who are all subject to OLODUMARE/ABASI/CHUKWU/UBANGIJI/ and the idols called Allah and Yahweh(Jehovah) is that no one needs to behead any oath violator as it proudly carried out in Saudi Arabia, no one needs to defend these native deities of our ancestral lands which our ancestors used to govern their society peacefully centuries before the advent of the missionaries and jihadists who used deception to demonize what we had and usurp our lands and enslave our thought process. The native deities are automatic after been configured towards a specific task. But unfortunately the generations of today are bereft of the native knowledge associated with these deities and will instead make list of all the names the Arabs calls an elevated idol from the Quraysh tribe and the Jews call a Canaanite idol from a semitic tribe.

The discuss continue here
