God introduced himself to Moses as Jehovah/Yahweh, a name not known to moses' progenitor, Abraham, Jacob and Isaac. These people know a deity only as Shaddai, an epithet of Canaanite Supreme God known across the semitic countries as El.

El, the Elyon, known as the Most High is the father of Yahweh. The Ugarit text record that El is the father of yw. The history of Yahweh is traced to the nomadic known as Shasu. The bible recorded same in Deut 32:8.

The evolution of Yahweh formed from assimilation of El, Baal, Asherah, and Anat.

Religion of ancient Israel has gone through development and growth since 1400 BCE. It grew from Henotheism into Polytheism and finally took on monotheism after the return from Babylonian exile under in the reign of Josiah who invoke polemic on Baal and Asherah by instituting Yahweh cult as a state religion.

Beyond religion formations, Israelites are historically from Canaan. Their culture also reflect that of Canaanite. All the accounts in the Exodus are completely made up conspiracy.

Yahweh had evolved, and has continually evolve. Jesus, saints and Mary are now been brushed up into pantheons, that people now worship Jesus and Mary today.

Everything evolve, God inclusive.

So if someone knocks on your door, with corporate dressing, a tie, well shaven and wants to discuss the Bible with you, won't you mutter under your breath “Oh God these Witnesses again” and even insult the person without confirmation from the person about who he actually is?

God's name—Jehovah, is worthy of admiration and respect. In fact his name is awe-inspiring.(Psalm 99:3)

For someone to actually know what God's name signifies and the importance, it goes beyond being familiar with the name. It involves knowing what his attributes are, his purposes, his reputation, his standards; as shown in his Word, the Bible. (Read Exodus 34:6-7, Deuteronomy 32:3-44, Revelation 15:3-4)

But your organization is taking the name in a worthless way today.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE LEARN FROM THE BIBLE?
• Jesus knew and used God’s name.​—John 17:25, 26.

Adding to the scripture, Jesus never used the name Yahweh.

You can provide the verse here!

Jesus addressed God more than 30 times and no where did Jesus ever USED THE DIVINE NAME.

•God invites us to address him by name.​—Psalm 105:1

But we've been given a name by which man must be saved the Name Jesus!

No wonder none of Christ Apostles' address God with the divine name.

• God’s enemies try to make people forget his name.​—Jeremiah 23:27.

This is rather about JW because verse 26 says ESV: How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart,

We know how many times the prophets of your organization have prophesied lies.

God never said he has more than one name.
His personal name is YHWH or Yahweh in Hebrew, the latinized form being JHVH and inputting English vowels is Jehovah.

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.—Exodus 3:15, New World Translation.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”
- Psalm 83:18.
"May they know that You alone
-- whose name is Yahweh
-- are the Most High over all the earth

- Psalm 83:18

"I am Yahweh, that is My name;
I will not give My glory to another or My praise to idols
"
- Isaiah 42:8

"Then everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be saved,
for there will be an escape for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
as the LORD promised, among the survivors the LORD calls.
"
- Joel 2:32

"and it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the "Lord" will be saved"
- Acts 2:21

Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 42:8 and Joel 2:32, verses above, each and all, have the word Yahweh used and not that your the invented and artificial Latinized name Jehovah and as for in Acts 2:21 seen also above, neither Yahweh nor the your again, the invented and artificial Latinized name Jehovah was used, but it is the Greek word "Kurios" which when translated into English correctly means "Lord," "Master" and even "Owner"

What is the point made here? The point being made is that God has never divulged nor revealed His personal name to any human being and this for reasons He explained on the basis that knowing His personal name is beyond comprehension, saying that there's no need to know His personal name because even if His personal name is known, the person couldn't understand it.

• #3 Knowing God’s name can be the first step to having a friendship with him.​—James 4:8.
You have made a mockery of trying to perfect the art of proof-texting.

What we can we learn from correctly, properly and fully reading the bible are:

#1/ In Exodus 3:15, God never has you've erroneously claimed gave Himself only one name, while smh sigh proof-texting with Exodus 3:15.

What God was messaging in Exodus 3:15 was not a personal name, but communicating what He should be renowned for, what He should be known to be famous of, what He wants to be remembered as, what He wants people to talk about Him of et cetera.

God in Exodus 3:14-15, in the original text, literally said, was that the Yahweh descriptor (i.e. which means, I AM that I AM or I AM who I AM or even I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE or I will become what I choose to become) is how He forever wants to be as a memorial be remembered as, that He significantly is the, I AM that I AM or or I will become what I choose to become.

The Yahweh descriptor, is not a personal name whatsoever of God

#2/ God funnily enough is a mystery, lmso, contrary to your erroneous claim that God is not a mystery, with your proof-texted Acts 17:27.

A quick look at Proverbs 25:12, Job 11:7, Romans 11:33 et cetera could have saved you making such a reckless, careless and ignorant claim.

You think it is "ẹwa oloyin" aka beans, that the Yoruba, in capturing the essence and degree of understanding God, call Him "Eledumare" ni, hmm?. Aside the Yoruba calling God "Eledumare" or "Olodumare" they affectionately describes Him also as "Awamaridi" which when loosely translated means the "Unfathomable One" (i.e. meaning, The incapable of being fully understood One)

Fyi, when to decontruct the word "Eledumare" or "Olodumare" that's passed as a name for God, you'll interestingly find out that it actually is a portmanteau word, of which the constituent words when loosely translated, means, "the Owner or Custodian of absolute energy and infinite mysteries, who has knowledge of all blessings"

God's personal name is so potent and Wonderful, to be just like that, rolled off the lips of mortal human beings. Take it that God is a Mystery, lmso.

#3/ My friend, when will all these your proof-texting with scripture stop. James 4:8, has nothing to say about God's personal name for you to there be saying "Knowing God’s name can be the first step to having a friendship with him" sic. What James 4:8, just like with whats in the intro of Matthew 6:9 and Luke 11:2, is communicating here, is relationship.

James 4:8, is saying, regard and behave appropriately towards God. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Connect with God and God will connect with you. Matthew 6:9 and Luke 11:2 in similar relationship light, is saying see God as your Heavenly Father et cetera. There is nothing about God's personal name featuring in James 4:8 that you cited

DappaD:
Is it wrong to pronounce God’s name?
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

• Yes

• No

• It depends
You dont have a God's personal name to start with or begin to want to pronounce, lmso.

The descriptor word Yahweh, is just a makeshift word, coming from YHWH, the Tetragrammaton, which is a composition of those four YHWH letters, that form the Hebrew word, from which the four letters transliterated as YHWH and articulated as Yahweh, is erroneously taken to be God's personal name

The letters YHWH are often seen in the Torah, where used as the name of God, in the time of Moshe aka Moses is written as. Yah is short for Yahweh (i.e. God)

As for the word Jehovah, lmso, this was created, invented, fabricated up and manufactured by people try to whip up a personal name for God. The word Jehovah, is as I earlier up above have submitted, is an invented and artificial Latinized name for the descriptor word Yahweh. In fact, the word Jehovah, actually is a modern day invention. The word Jehovah first started appearing in English Bibles in the 1500s. In fact the pronunciation Jehovah was unknown until 1520 to be precise, when it was introduced by Galatinus, an Italian Franciscan friar who believed himself to be the "Angel Pope" lmso.

The name Jehovah is a legacy word inherited from the period of Galatinus' Romanization influence of which your beloved Jehovah Witnesses organisation later on adopted. There is no letter J, in Hebraic alphabet, so Jehovah cannot at all, in the real sense possibly be God's name. Just because Jehovah, allegedly is popular and in widely acceptance, doesnt take away the fact and truth it is bogus, that its an invented and artificial Latinized name manufactured up by Galatinus, lmso.

The closest you will get to knowing or have a whiff of God's personal and/or real name, just as with Yahshua Ha Mashiach aka Jesus Christ is when "I AM ..." is used. The missing blanks and rest being incomprehensible to any human being, hence why not provided. Go figure, lmso

WHAT ELSE CAN WE LEARN FROM THE BIBLE?

• Jesus knew and used God’s name.​—John 17:25, 26.

God introduced himself to Moses as Jehovah/Yahweh, a name not known to Moses' progenitor, Abraham, Jacob and Isaac. These people know a deity only as Shaddai, an epithet of Canaanite Supreme God known across the semitic countries as El.

El, the Elyon, known as the Most High is the father of Yahweh. The Ugarit text record that El is the father of yw. The history of Yahweh is traced to the nomadic known as Shasu. The bible recorded same in Deut 32:8.

Ọrẹ, fyi the word Yahweh, is a descriptor and is not all God's personal name. The word Yahweh, as a matter of fact, comes from a root word that means "to become," which is from how God told Moshe aka Moses to the tell the Israelites that "I will become what I choose to become" is who sent him to them when he, Moshe, asked for God's name. God sidestepped giving Moshe aka Moses any name but instead offered him the Yahweh descriptor (i.e. I AM that I AM or I AM who I AM or even I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE or I will become what I choose to become)

Ọrẹ, who are you FOLYKAZE? Who you be FOLYKAZE? Who you FOLYKAZE? Please, in one sentence, begin to start tell, who and/or what you are? I think you're getting the gist now, lmso, of about how God used the descriptor "I AM" expression to describe and identify Himself instead of and/or rather than giving in, to revealing to Moshe aka Moses, lmso, what His personal name is.

Ọrẹ, God changes not. God doesnt evolve and hasn't been in any evolved jagbanjatis nonsense business. It is human beings, that from the beginning were designed to evolve, lmso (i.e. Genesis 1:26-27) Why not please tell us what is the difference and omission you notice in Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 1:27? Then up the stake by comparing with Genesis 5:1 with Genesis 5:3, lmso, hmm?

tobechi20:
If a human can have three names, God can answer million names
"13But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?”
14God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am.d Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.”
15God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel:
Yahweh, the God of your ancestors
—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.
This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.
"
- Exodus 3:13-15

Twale Baba! If a human can have three names, God can answer infinity million names

That is the whole essence of God giving the Yahweh descriptor phrase, which means, "I AM that I AM or I AM who I AM or even I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE or I will become what I choose to become" to Moshe aka Moses, when he asked God what name he should tell the Israelites, if/when they get to ask him: "What is His name who sent you to us?"

The Yahweh descriptor phrase; "I AM that I AM or I AM who I AM or even I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE or I will become what I choose to become" essentially means, the One who is Unnameable, Inexplicable, Unfathomable, Enigmatic et cetera is who sent Moshe aka Moses, lmso

Exodus 3:15's "This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations," means, by this Yahweh descriptor phrase; "I AM that I AM or I AM who I AM or even I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE or I will become what I choose to become" is how I want to be well known forever famous for. It really and at all, isn't a personal name of God

The name "JEHOVAH" is the most important of all that is written in the Bible!

Though i never knew this before i became one of Jehovah's Witnesses and nobody told me this but through my experience in life i've discovered that there is just one religious group that all the adherents work together as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers, they will never lift up weapons against anybody yet they're the fear/target of world's most fierce rulers, everyone know them as a group having strong bond (LOVE) amongst themselves, their youths are the joy of every parent as those who caused their birth have rest of mind. Proverbs 29:17
These and many more makes these group unique at all times and the only difference between them and all other religions is the unique name of their God that they always call upon in prayer!
So when all other religions are in confusion, arguing, abusing, insulting, cursing and even fighting one another in the name of their own Gods, Jehovah's Witnesses are unitedly worshiping their own God JEHOVAH with LOVE, JOY and PEACE! Micah 4:5 compare to Proverbs 18:10 smiley

That the name "JEHOVAH" is bogus, abi?
It is an invented and artificial Latinized name manufactured up by Galatinus

You cant escape from the truth that the word "JEHOVAH" is bogus, nah. Abi I lie ni, that the name and word "Jehovah" you're using all time is an invented and artificial Latinized name manufactured?

The name and word "Jehovah" you're using all time is an invented word, lmso.

I am pasting the same bare face truth fact thing, that makes the whole Jehovah's Witnesses doctrine, theology et cetera, being built upon a wack, shaky, suspect, shallow and faulty foundation of fraud, WAYO, invention and make-believe, considering that there is no letter J, in Hebraic alphabet, and powerfully so indicating then, that Jehovah cannot at all, in any real sense of it, possibly be an authentic name for God, lmso.

For crying out loud, the word "Jehovah" only crept into the English bible and vocabulary in the 1500s.

Re: Does God Have A Name?—What Does The Bible Say? by FOLYKAZE(m): 8:38am On Oct 18, 2020
MuttleyLaff:
Ọrẹ, fyi the word Yahweh, is a descriptor and is not all God's personal name. The word Yahweh, as a matter of fact, comes from a root word that means "to become," which is from how God told Moshe aka Moses to the tell the Israelites that "I will become what I choose to become" is who sent him to them when he, Moshe, asked for God's name. God sidestepped giving Moshe aka Moses any name but instead offered him the Yahweh descriptor (i.e. I AM that I AM or I AM who I AM or even I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE or I will become what I choose to become)

Yahweh has no reasonable meaning in hebrew. As a matter of fact, the name has no relationship with I AM.

Try another twist

MuttleyLaff:
Ọrẹ, who are you FOLYKAZE? Who you be FOLYKAZE? Who you FOLYKAZE? Please, in one sentence, begin to start tell, who and/or what you are? I think you're getting the gist now, lmso, of about how God used the descriptor "I AM" expression to describe and identify Himself instead of and/or rather than giving in, to revealing to Moshe aka Moses, lmso, what His personal name is.

I am the son of my father. Just like Yahweh is the son of his father, El. Much of this information are contained in the ugarit text

I saw a tyrannical vicious fearsome and bloodsucking beast in Yahweh of the Old testament, that evolved into loving and caring deity in Jehovah of new testament. That is evolution
