MaxInDHouse:

Thousands of translations (including edited versions) are in circulation today, that's why we need to compare how each translator rendered the verses.
When i was contemplating on the significance of God's personal name i read Psalms 110:1

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. KJV

Jehovah declared to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet. NWT

Peter (after his anointing) said this verse is talking about how God appointed Jesus {Act 3:22} so i reasoned that the KJV referred to the two as Lord but if the second lord has a PERSONAL name "Jesus" then the first Lord also must have a personal name and that's what the NWT put there in their own translation!

Hmnnnn!
So, one is greater and one lord obeys the orders of the other?

NL is your voice, I understand.
When a baby start saying blabla, he will be so excited and see it as new knowledge that no one has seen before. This is your case. But much more, you have excitement in dishonesty which a cradle never find excitement in

When Jesus said “to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded” that included the preaching and making disciples. His 12 apostles were to teach the ones they taught how to make disciples, and then those new ones were to teach others how to do it and so on.

I can tell you authoritatively that No other group of people do or can do the work that JWs do.They are obeying Christ command to preach that goodnews which is actively taking place in more than 240 lands and explaining pure bible Truths
But, that's not the discuss here

Anyway, Jesus said wisdom is identified by its children

So, what's benefits of the knowledge you have about God's name?

Jehovah's have utilize this knowledge to form a global brotherhood. We dont slaughter eachother or anyone else in wars. . Jesus said his disciples would be identified by their love among themselves and being seperate from this world. To me its that simple.

Good day, fellas. Some years ago, a Female Jehovah witness member i knew died prematurely after she delibrately rejected blood transfusion. Now, is her action faith or foolishness? Faculties, Judges, can we hear ur comments?

Many people received blood transfusion and still died. What about that? To show that blood transfusion does not save life.
Jehovah's witnesses love life so much and we sought for the best medical care possible without in obedience to God and out out respect to the giver of life.

We love life, and we resort to bloodless medicine.If you do some due diligence you will find that people who opt for Bloodless Surgery have a higher rate of survival as well as a better quality of life due to less complications in the months following the surgery.

Jèhófà ní Olùgbàlà!

But what is Jèhófà or Jehovah a personal name or title because Ra (Egypt) Zeus (Greece) Jupiter (Rome) Krishna (India) are personal names of the Gods people in those countries worshiped in times past.
So what is Jèhófà or Jehovah?

Brother Max
Yes! They all have a common title. They're are called God.
They've different personal names like you mentioned
God’s real and personal name in modern English is Jehovah just like his Son’s real name in English is Jesus.
That's the name he gave himself
Exodus 3:15 Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.

I rest my case for you if you aren't even truthful at this point. You have won with your untruthfulness.

YES! You really don't have anything more to say.
I think this is a new knowledge to you. I think you need the study more than I do.
Go through what we discussed and meditate on it with proper research as Jesus admonished.

Thanks for your time

hupernikao:



What does Jesu men's in yoruba. What kind of answer is this. What does Jesu mean.

Je-su. Give the meaning in yoruba.

The same thing it means in Hebrew and English.
Yahweh is Salvation/YHWH is Salvation/ Jehofa ni Olugbala

hupernikao:


.. Your theology is funny.

So Jesus and Iesous means the same thing abi?

You need to go and take your study again.

If I may guess, you are likely from western part of Nigeria.

So tell me.

Jesu and Iesous means the same.

What is the meaning of Jesu in yoruba lexicon?

You called that theology? .
Your problem is Just the linguistic variation
Yes! They're the same sir.

The name Jesus is derived from transliteration of the Greek Ἰησοῦς(Iesous) and the Greek form is a rendering of the Hebrew ישוע‎ (Yeshua)
And Jésù is the transliterated form of JESUS in English.
They all have the same meaning

hupernikao:


Brother making sense.

So I asked you, that Jehovah never meant YHWH. It was never what God gave. You are the one who changed a doctor to James. So if you have issues with it, it starts with you.

https://biblehub.com/isaiah/42-8.htm

Aramaic Bible in Plain English
I AM LORD JEHOVAH, and this is My Name

Holman Christian Standard Bible
I am Yahweh, that is My name

The word Jehovah and YAHWEH were translated from YHWH (יְהוָ֖ה) in Hebrew and still has the same meaning


You changed James to Zames and still argue they are the same. What kind of argument is that.
I said word with different spelling can have the same meaning .
יעקב (Ya'aqov or Yakov) in Hebrew is spell as JAMES in English .
Different spellings and pronunciation but the same meaning.
Same with Yehoshua and Jesus

Sadly too, trying to fix God in a name shows a gap in Bible study and understanding. Is Jehovah a name or description? God? Has a name? You are really funny.

Yes! He did has a name that has been removed in more 7,000 places to hide it from you and it's really working.
King James Version
Psalm 83:18
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

kole88:
who son did Cain married, at killing Abel, please no insult, just making research.

Cain married one of his sisters (Genesis 5:4) or perhaps a niece!

hupernikao:


Did God give a J. All the places I'm the Bible where you see YHWH, was it Jehovah God gave? No.

So why flog this. You changed the name to suit what you wanted. A Jew will argue with you that his God is not Jehovah and that you truncated God's word. Why because of spelling, translation and change of words. This is the same you are doing now. Which both are very unnecessary. But since you want to tread that path, I chose to drag you there.


So, whether Jehovah, YHWH, Lord, God. These never affect the textual meaning and interpretation of the scriptures when done well. That is the Summary.

Drag me where? You're not making sense at all
What you saying is 'I don't care if you're called Doctor, Father, or James' it doesn't change anything.
Ofcourse it does! Doctor, Father, God, lord are Titles. They're are not God's name. He has is own personal name like you do and he want people to call on his name that appears more than 7,000 times in the bible.

Due to different languages that exist, God's name can have different linguistics variation but they point is they have the same meaning
Yahweh/Jehovah/YHWH means He will become what he will be become/. He will prove to be what he will prove to be
Lord means having power over other person
Lord cannot substitute the above because they have total different meaning and that's desecrating God's word

Now, look at the list of God's name in different languages with linguistic variation but with same meaning
Arabic: يهوه (Yahwah)
Arawak: Jehovah
Ateso: Yahweh
Chin (Haka-Lai): Zahova
Chinese: 雅威 (Yǎwēi), 爺火華
English: Jehovah, Yahweh, Yehuwah
Japanese: Ehoba

Now, do you understand?

Kfed4ril:

JW doesn’t believe in the holy trinity?

Maybe because they can't find TRINITY in the bible?

hupernikao:


So your own study confirmed that ancient Hebrew had the letter J. You may need to speak with your other folks, they will correct your wrong premise.

Reason I employed you to think carefully before replying.
Ofcourse! There's is no letter J in Hebrew alphabet but Hebrew names today have letter J because they're translated.
The same way I'll translate JOY in English to AYÒ in Yoruba. They're the same.

God never said Jehovah, the word never exist in Hebrew language. if I am to go with your premise of corrupting what God said. He never said Jehovah. You changed what he said to Jehovah. Why not leave what he said there since changing his name had corrupted the meaning. You just did that now.
He never referred to himself as Jehovah.

What do you think he said and why is it not found in your bible?
Someone said the correct is Yahweh and its fine. Pronunciation and spelling differs. I don't understand Hebrew, what's is important is not desecrating God's word

Yippeedaniel:
Jehovah isn't even inda Bible. The Tetragrammaton isn't Jahova.

MightySparrow:


Before Exodus 6;3 was God known by any name?
Which other versions other than the one shown above? What makes it special?

What Bible translation do you use?

GardenOfGod:
I don't have the time at the moment to show you where your New World Translation proves that JESUS IS JEHOVAH. it's been a while I come to this section that's why most of you post stuffs you will never defend to the end.

Really? I don't think that's the discourse here tho.
As the OP's, why is God's name JEHOVAH removed and replaced with LORD in your bible?

hupernikao:


I don't have issues with the usage of J, which of course is not part of Jewish consonant. But you were the one who want to box God into Jehovah because you felt others are wrong. Hence I let you know that even the name spelling Jehovah is corrupted if we go by your explanation. Hence your explanation will also make Jerusalem wrong. It was never called Jerusalem until recent, go and check your jews lexicon well.
But you tried to justify your own corruption.

I really don't understand you. Can you make yourself clear?
How can someone be named Jesus, Josiah Jerusalem if there's no J in Hebrew language?
That's what they called Translations.
You don't get the subject matter. If Many of these modern translators find it okay to call Yehoshua, JESUS in English.
Why then is JEHOVAH removed and replaced with LORD?
Think carefully

So, my point is.

Using lord for Jehovah or yahweh or yhwh isn't the issue but your understanding of the word and your heart. But since you want to tread that line, I gave you to poser.

God's word says;
(Isaiah 42:
I am Jehovah. That is my name;
I give my glory to no one else.

It's is because God wants people to know him by his name, that's why he appears more than 7,000 times in the bible.

MightySparrow:


This is interesting, where is the name Jehovah started in the Bible which translation?

God's name Jehovah appears more than 7,000 times in the Bible.
BYINGTON, AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION,ROTHERHAM.
In KJV, you can find it in Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 12:2; 26:4 and it was removed in more than 7,000 other places it occurs and replaced with capital LORD.

Nicenancy:

Acts 13:2
]As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

Is this a question? It's actually a double-loaded question if it is. If you are familiar with JWs, you should know that none of our teaching is without scriptural backups.

Actually, it is not unusual in the Scriptures for something that is not actually a person to be personified. Wisdom is personified in Proverbs 1:20–33; 8:1–36 and feminine pronominal forms are used of it.

Wisdom is also personified at Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:35, where it is depicted as having both “works” and “children.”

The apostle Paul personalized sin and death and also undeserved kindness as “kings.” (Romans 5:14, 17, 21; 6:12). He speaks of sin as “receiving an inducement,” ‘working out covetousness,’ ‘seducing,’ and ‘killing.’ (7:8–11) Yet it is obvious that Paul did not mean that sin was actually a person

God’s holy spirit is not a person, but a force, God’s force in action. Quote this if you want to know the truth in your bible

Dtruthspeaker:


I understand the question but my position is that did the Removal or Replacement Detrack (Detract) the Information from the message being passed?

No, it did not!

Therefore, No Loss or Harm was Suffered or Occasioned.

Sorry, I think this is beyond you.

When addressing your earthly father, do yo call him by his name?

Think about it. How would your father feels if he had his name removed from the book he authored?
How would you feel if you went to your bank to see about your money, but “hackers" have deleted YOUR NAME? And the bank teller telling you that your name is unregistered with this account?

What feelings does God have when he looks down from heaven to see theologians and Bible editors hacking his name out of his own Word?
What kind of person(s) would remove God's Name from His own Word?

Sasuke007:

that's the problem with Christianity
denominations

What denomination do you think removed that God's name from his book in more than 7000 places?

hupernikao:


I have asked you a simple question which you haven't answered. Is God name Jehovah. Was that the name he gave Moses? Is there J in jews consonant, what of the vowels?

Have you not altered the name yourself?. Or you feel the misspelling doesn't matter?

Like I said, if the word Lord hasn't been used that would have given more credence to the concept of trinity you seems to negate.

I won't say you're misinformed because you only reply based on the much you know.
Yes! You're right, the letter J wasn't invented untill 1600 in English modern language but

Can Jerusalem be the Jewish holy city if the letter J did not exist in the Hebrew language?
Isn't the pronunciation of 'Yehousa' as Jesus hypocritical?
What about Joshua, Jeremiah, Jacob? They're are all Hebrew names.
Have they been altered as well?
That's is what is called Translations. A letter is just a pictorial symbol of a human vocal sound.

That's a lame and baseless excuse to desecrated God's word by removing his own name as the Author of his book

Dtruthspeaker:


God clearly Said "I am, that I am, Tell them I am sent you"

And "I am" surely tells us that His Name is VERY HEAVY AND LOADED but we can manage "I am".

So Yahweh, Yeshua are definitely a tongue of a certain native people.

Really? What if you go back to the OP's again cos' I don't think you understand an iota of what is been discussed here.

Lemme break it down?
I assumed you're using KJV , The name, Jehovah, occurs in Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 12:2; 26:4 and it was removed in more than 7,000 other places it occurs. The question is WHY?

Hundredfold4lif:


I have a GOD's name Bible called "The Names of GOD Bible" which has answered the question.
However, whenever I read The Word and found LORD in other translations, l immediately know that's YAHWEH etc!
Objectively I agree with you nonetheless!

Good for you.
However, most other people do not, because Jehovah/Yahweh name has been removed from most of the Bibles they use.
Many people don’t believe that God’s personal name is Jehovah/Yahweh because the campaign to remove God’s name from His own book is alive and doing well, you can attest to it if you're following this thread even though most of them are misinformed.

In every language in which Jehovah’s Witnesses worship, we accept whatever spelling and pronunciation of God’s name that is already established. it can be in any pronunciation or spelling.


THE true God tells us in his written Word, the Bible: “I am Jehovah. That is my name.” (Isaiah 42:

hupernikao:


So what is Jehovah in your language. What does it mean. Name of God? Nah so.

God himself explained the meaning of his name to his faithful servant Moses. When Moses asked about God’s name, Jehovah replied: “I Will Become What I Choose to Become.” (Exodus 3:14)

Rotherham’s translation renders those words: “I Will Become whatsoever I please.”

So God can become whatever is needed in order to fulfill his purposes, and he can cause to happen whatever is required with regard to his creation and the accomplishment of his purpose.

Hundredfold4lif:

YAHWEH is the true real name of Elohim(God) hence YAHWEH-ELOHIM -(LORD God).
Jehovah is a misconstrued term used by a Catholic priest.
All reliable original languages of scripture read YAHWEH in all honest translations.
Even the New King James Version doesn't have any Jehovah nomenclature by the least.
No Jewish scholar or Biblist ever uses Jehovah because by linguistics and all, YAHWEH is and will remain God's revealed name from Genesis!
Unfortunately, many who fight over Jehovah don't even have personal encounters with Jesus (real name: Yeshua!)
Our today's Joshua is same with Jehovah rather than the true names of Yeshua and YAHWEH!

That still begs the question? Why does the YAHWEH not appear in your Bible the number of times it was written?

Yahweh is a transliterated form of God's name
Jehovah is the translated form of it.
Linguistically, a translated word doesn't has to retain the same letters it was translated from?
Let me give you an example in Yoruba if you understand it.
Glass
Transliterated form - Gilàasí
Translated- igo

Also, God's Son name
Transliterated form is Yeshua
Translated form is Jesus

Do you understand?

haekymbahd:
Did Jesus or Apostle Paul called God by the name Jehovah

Good question.
Absolutely! They called him by his name.
Firstly, Jesus name Jehovah is Salvation

Jesus read and quoted them the ancient scrolls. He quoted them exactly how they are. To change even one word would have put his credibility in question and he's against the superstitious belief of the pharisees.

Here are some examples of Jesus quoting the Old Testament that included YHWH's name:

Quoting Deuteronomy 8:3 Jesus says:

“It is written: ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah’s mouth.’” (Mt 4:4)

Quoting Deuteronomy 6:16 Jesus said:

Again it is written: ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’ (Mt 4:7)

Quoting Deuteronomy 6:13 Jesus said:

Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” (Mt 4:10)

Quoting Psalm 110:1 Jesus said:

Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies beneath your feet”’? (Mt 22:44)

Quoting Isaiah 61:1, 2 Jesus said:

Jehovah’s spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free, (Lu 4:18)


Quoting Joel 2:32 both the [b]Apostle Peter and Apostle Paul [/b]said:

everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah [YHWH] will be saved. (Acts 2:21; Ro 10:13)

How can you make something known unless you tell others what it is. Jesus would have had to use the name to make it known to others. And like an ambassador representing a kingdom, like an envoy or emissary who would proclaim to all who he represented…

Dtruthspeaker:


Bad thinking!

No one said God's Name is not important. We are saying that we know Whom it is Referred when we Say God, The Lord, Jehovah, Abasi, Chineke etc

Lord, God, Oluwa, Olodumare, Chinese, Almighty and millions of them are titles. They're not names. You don't get it?
A man can be called Engineer, Father, Helper, Teacher but that doesn't mean those should replaced his own personal name like Shola.

Dtruthspeaker:


And in this Prove, clearly in Truth and Spirit, it is immaterial and irregular if God is Called God or The Lord or Jehovah or Osenobua.

It is sufficient that we All know that it is referring to A Great Great Person who is Greatly Mighty over man. That is all.

Nahhh
If God's name is not so much important, it won't appear more than 7,000 times in the Bible. It is the name that appears most.
Getting to know God means knowing him by his name. Infact our salvation rest on this.

Joel 2:32 (AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION)
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered ..

Joel 2:32(KJV)
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered.
(God's name has been substituted with a title here)

(Compare with Acts 2:21,Romans 10:13)

hupernikao:


When you go this track of examining names as correct only when it's written in the very language, you may end up shooting yourself in the leg after all.

You don't get it, do you?
Nobody cares if that God's name written the same way it was in Hebrew language.
JOY in English and AYO in Yoruba are spelt differently but they have the same meaning. That's translations.
God's name can be translated in whatever language only if it carries the same meaning bad it is in the bible.
They soiled God's word by removing his name and replacing it with title
