This issue gave me cause for concern hence I decided to share.

There are many Gods mentioned in the Bible, from the old testament to the new testament, since the inception of the writing of the Bible was started up till it completion, the names of this gods have been retained consistently therein.

However, I have come to notice a seeming battle for the retention of the Name of a particular God and the reluctance thitherto for the Name to be a part of the Bible.

Even the retention of the name of this God in symbol form to be included in the Bible has been refused and contested also by most, even among those that claimed and go by the name Christians.

The name has a symbol, and has many variance, some people refer to it as Yahweh, some Jehovah, still some make use of the four consonants YHWH, while it also has the four Hebrew consonants written in Hebrew alphabets.

Yahweh is the GOD of the Jews, the Bible was written by Jews. we all know, but, the irony is that, most Bible under circulation today does not have this name in whatever form in its pages, even in symbol format.

And, as funny as it seems, the GOD of the Jews is supposed to be the Author of the books that makes up this book called the Bible that is under consideration.

While the retention of the names of all this other Gods are not contested in the Bible, in whatever translation you look up, the same is not the case when it comes to that of the name of its so called Author. Hence, majority of the Bibles used on earth today is without the said name.

My puzzle is thus:

IS THE ABSENCE OF THE NAME OF THE acclaimed AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE IN WHATEVER TRANSMISSION/TRANSLATION NOT AN ABERRATION?

I mean, consider the name of the author of a book being removed from his book, would that not be considered an injustice?

If the above ^ is true, under what conditions/consideration is the removal of the name of Yahweh from most Bible not an issue meriting your attention and is not an injustice and an ERROR?

THE Bible you are using, does it contain the name of Yahweh in any form?

If no, are you cool with that?

If you are cool with the removal of the name in your translation, what makes you feel OK with such?

Tell me, do you think it is a normal or it is an anormally ?

let's talk. what do you think?

.

let's talk on this.
what have you observed on this issue?

There has never been a debate as to the place and reason why the name of this God Zeus in the Bible has not been replaced with titles.

But most people are at home with a Bible without the name of the author of the Bible.

And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance of the city, brought bulls and garlandsa to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifices with the crowds.
Acts 14:13

Someone once asked a teenager, the residence of the "chief", the lad ask him, which chief ?

it took the addition of the name of the individual for the lad to properly identify which of the numerous chiefs that they have that the stranger was looking for.

Though we refer to people with such titles as: Principal, Tutor, VC, Chief, Governor, president. etc.

the above vividly demonstrate the significance of assuming that a word designated as a title can be used or can best identify a person. Hence, some Bible completely eliminates the name of Yahweh in whatever form and replaced it with titles.

to some, that is the case with the absence of the name of the author of the Bible, they are at ease with the absence of the name of Yahweh in their Bible just because they believe that the titles Lord and God can sufficiently identify the GOD of the Bible.

Meanwhile, they have not wondered why cant the names of the other mentioned gods in the bible are not replaced with titles.

The issue is this, their are many gods and many lords.

2Cor 4:4
For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,”

The names of the other Gods are consistently retained in their own books, but in the book said to belong to Yahweh, its name is missing.

Is it not an Aberration?

Referring to your god with a title, in the presence of many gods. Do you think it is a reasonable thing to do ?

In the Book about Zeus, the name of Zeus is contained therein. In your copy of the Bible, a book belonging to Yahweh, is Yahweh's name contained in it?

@ Op , you are making a very good point . I read Act 14:13 and the name of Zeus was retained there , am wondering why they didnt change that to Lord too ! They honour Zeus more than they honour Yahweh

True!

And the names of other Gods are also retained.

I shall post others subsequently.

other views are welcome, as to why people are cool with a Bible with the name of it's author missing therin.

they mentioned the name to point the reason of their action of those crowd in that chapter and verses, like wise baal, molech, and many more. Yahweh is the same as YHWH that's in hebrew language in english is I AM THAT I AM. Check the hebrew bible you will see yahweh there.

Why not mention Yahweh too ?

Yahweh is the same as YHWH that's in hebrew language in english is I AM THAT I AM.

Your english bible retain Baal , Molech , Zeus. Is Baal and Molech english names ? So why throw out Yahweh ? Stop justifying ignorance

Check the hebrew bible you will see yahweh there.

So only the hebrew bible should retain the name of God ? This is serious

The bible is about different gods, if the name has to be used it will make it more confusing to the reader. take for example, the god that brought the flood is different from the god that gave Noah the blue print for the construction of the ark. the god that told Moses to make a bronze serpent is different from the one that sent the snake to bite them in the first place..The benevolent God and mankind creator was Enki and the destroyer was Enlil, the emblem of Enki was a snake which his son always carried....

I Love your post

Lol , please when did the meaning of a name became its english version , if so why dont u shout " mother of everyone living" instead of saying Eve . ( Gen 3:20) you miss the point



Psalm 83:18 " that people may know that you whose is Yahweh , you alone are the most high God" - original manuscript

Psalm 83:18
" that people may know that you whose name is THE LORD , you alone are the most high God" - Ca.strated english versions

Why do you replace Yahweh with Lord ? Why dont you replace Zeus , Molech And Baal with lord ?

There are several other instances that the name of this god was mentioned in the Bible, but, they did not replaced it with a title like is done to the name of Yahweh:

The Phi·lisʹtine lords gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Daʹgon their god and to celebrate, for they were saying: “Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand!”.
Judge 16:23

and

When the men of Ashʹdod saw what was happening, they said: “Do not let the Ark of the God of Israel remain with us, for his hand has dealt harshly with us and our god Daʹgon.

1Samuel 5:7

jcross19:
those gods have no english name okay what's english of allah? What's english for amadioha, what's english for obatala? .

jcross19:
jesus name in hebrew is yeshuwa but in english they called him jesus so that's simple. In those idols you called have no hebrew name than that okay.

So, from the above, you are justifying the reason why the name of those other gods are retained in the Bible while the name of Yahweh, the author of the Bible has been removed in most Bible as being due to the reason that those gods have no English names.

My question is thus,

1. Is the word used to replaced the name of Yahweh in most Bibles(lord and God) a name ?

2. Can you state why the words 'God and lord' used in replacing the name of Yahweh in most Bibles cannot be used in like manner for those other gods also like it is done for Yahweh?

3. What is wrong in retaining the name of Yahweh in his own book?

4. If you love your father, would you wish that your literal father's name to die out and go into oblivion ? if no, why should such befall Yahweh's name?

Am waiting for your answers.

Thank you.

see google it out and you will know more of it. God have no particular that make HIM invincible.

I really admire your logic. If we all reason in a similar manner, we will free ourself from the mental slavery and superstitions of religion.
Howver, pick up the New World Translation of Jehovah's Witnesses, you will appreciate the effort they made.
Howver, Is the God of the Christians the real God. Why so much emphasis on them?

Am talking to those that are influence by the Bible and those that have chosen to serve the GOD of the Jews. If you are such, you would notice that the Jews have a name for their God just like those other nations you never questioned the name of their God.

Secondly, the discussion is a Bible based discussion.

Thank you though for your interest.

Am focusing on what I consider to be an abnormality.

Why the name of an Author should be removed from his book and the majority of persons are at home with such.

Majority of the Bible used by people today in the world, has the name of Yahweh in whatever form replaced with titles, while it is considered normal not to replace the names of other gods mentioned in the same Bible with titles.

And why are people so much at home with this inconsistencies.

I love this trend, so many questions but no answer. Only God as we know to his name for now can save us.

The name of a Babylonian God is still retained in all Bible till date while the name of that of the Author of the Bible has been removed in all Bibles:

Declare it among the nations and proclaim it.
Raise a signal and proclaim it.
Do not hide anything!
Say, ‘Babylon has been captured.
Bel has been put to shame.
Merʹo·dach has become terrified.
Her images have been put to shame.
Her disgusting idols have become terrified.’

Jeremiah 50:2
........................................................

Please, tell us, why are you comfortable with having the name of these other gods in your Bible while the name of Yahweh or it's symbol has been removed.

lets discuss, what are your reasons for using a Bible not having the name of Yahweh?

then can you tell me the name of their God.

The names of this gods has not yet been replaced in any Bible yet with titles:

1Ki 11:5

And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth, the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom, the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.

Please, why do you think it is normal to replace the name of Yahweh in the Bible with titles and leave the names of other gods?

Does your Bible contain the name of Yahweh like Yahweh wished it should be to let men know all he had done?

It's like Yahweh has a plan concerning his name:

May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
Psalm83:18
...........................................

In the light of Yahweh's interest contain in the above Scripture, how is the removal of Yahweh's name from most Bible enhancing "people to know that his name is Jehovah"?

Is the removal of the name of Yahweh from most Bible not rather concealing that name from people?

The name of this God is still contain in the Bible till today, it has not been replaced by a title:

So he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of Jehovah, and there I saw women sitting and weeping over the god Tamʹmuz.
