Some argue that the translation Jehovah is wrong but everyone's name sounds different in different accents/languages. This doesn't mean we shouldn't use that persons name, same goes for Jehovah god! Some say it is too holy to use (which is why it has been removed from some translations) but if god didn't intend us to use his name he wouldn't have given us it. It helps us to become close to him.
I am also grateful that our God's name JEHOVAH is still in the bible. Jehovah has many titles, but he also has a name and I think that it is very important that we know it.
To me this says they acted like they were friends to Jehovahs people only to get close to them,and then they thought they could take the Lords people out,But this will not happen because the Lord is in charge of the whole earth.And Jehovah Loves His people....
God is just a title is not a name, like mister or misses (even the Devil is called a god), so if you in a room calling mister or misses who is going to get UB. Thats why our god has a name JEHOVAH
Amazing, then please explain to me as a person that does not reside in a SPECIFIC church organization, why it is that in TRUTH the name YHWH or JEHOVAH is actually used over 6500+ times throughout the BIBLE. It's God's name right? It's also a way for the reader to be able to see the separation and difference between FATHER and SON. Or is it because in our quest to abbreviate things it's shorter just to say GOD? Just curious.
During this period of time almost all of Israel's neighbors were against Israel.It was a trying time for the psalmist and the nation. He did not fail to ask God for quidance;noting how God had delivered His servant before,he petitioned God for deliverance,because he knew the opposing neighbors were plotting against him.He KNEW his enemies, just as we must know where our adversity comes from. He asked God for deliverance in order for his name and reputation to be upheld. He also asked that The Name of the Lord be recognized as the Most High of all Names on this earth. This last verse is the epitome of what Salvation and faith in God stands far,and that being just as the last verse states;That men may know that Thou whose name alone is JEHOVAH,art the Most High,over all the earth.
Everyone seems to comment on verse 18.What about the other 17 verses? There is great prophecy here. Look at verse 4.Does this sound like something you are hearing today?When the 17 verses happen,(which is the little war that is about to happen)then verse 18 will come alive.That men may know that thou,over all the earth.
I am happy to understand the flow of the bible now. It was meant to be taught and learned in a practical manner. Although original translators meant well, they accidentally confused masses of people. They are not at fault, Satan is, for he is the original cunning serpent. I care even for those who think they are right and do not know it. "Removal" of anything changes it's dynamic. The name Jehovah belongs and makes reading the bible easier and practical, like it's original intent.
Well in my mind I knew "Jehovah" was the highest father in heaven and so father, now rest on your seat on throne forever till Jesus who is on your hand right side becomes high King from earth when all Christians will be raptured to heaven to see the father and Lord, and will know them face to face and are glad to see own eyes. For best we will see Jesus coming down from and know who is? Amen. Praise the lord Jesus and the Father.
It is his introduction to us, it shows he is unique above all, he is matchless in every way, and shares not his glory. It establishes him reasonably as God alone not part of a god dishonouring triune entity. He is our God, Creator, Statute giver worthy of us getting to know and worshipped: Jehovah God the Almighty. Revelation 15:3, John17:3, Isaiah 33:22, Mark 12:29, Isaiah 42:8, John 14:28.
If God and Jesus both always existed and are co-equal, then it would make no sense for the Bible to confusingly speak of God and Jesus in terms of a relationship between a father and his son. For what would we think of about ANY father and his son? If it weren't for the father, the son would not exist. Jesus is not God; he is exactly as the Bible describes him - the Son “OF” God. The word "son" principally is regarded in the Bible as "offspring" and in Genesis we read that Adam was produced by God. Interestingly, Adam and Jesus even shared the same description: "son of God", ( Luke 3:38). While the Father is always found in the Bible to be called "God", the phrase "God the Son" is never found. Further, if the Son really was God, then why would he call the Father "the only true God"? ( John 17:1-3). Jesus is God's "only-begotten" son; the only being directly created by God, ( John 1:18). Revelation 3:14 says that Jesus is "the Beginning of the creation of God", NASB. Colossians 1:15 says that Jesus is "the FIRSTBORN of all creation". Micah 5:2 says that Jesus' “ORIGIN” is from of old, from “ancient days” – RSV (cf. JB, NEB, REB, NAB, NIV, AT, Mo, NRSV, NJB, Byington, and Young's). Origin: "a coming into existence" - Webster's New World Dictionary, 1973. Therefore, because of the Bible's explanations of this, the designations "Father" and "Son" when attributed to God and Jesus make sense.
There is a vial in front of the throne of God that holds the prayers of God's people. They are brought out when needed. Asaph's prayer is 3,000 years old. Read it. It is about to be answered. All the nations around Israel are about to be destroyed.
It's about Iran, Syria, and Russia; they have taken up counsel against our Fathers land Israel. They are talking about killing His people and taken His land for themselves, but it will not happen. Our Father is too Great.
Looking for truths, What does Jesus the person we are to follow closely in footsteps have to say about it? ( John 14:28) “If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.” It can’t be that they are equal with one saying the other is greater right? Matthew 26:39, “Going a little farther he [Jesus Christ] fell on his face and prayed, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.’” (If the Father and the Son were not distinct individuals, such a prayer would have been meaningless. Jesus would have been praying to himself, and his will would of necessity have been the Father’s will). John 8:17, 18, “[Jesus answered the Jewish Pharisees:] In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.” (So, Jesus definitely spoke of himself as being an individual separate and distinct from the Father). Looking for truths, God’s name and who He is is huge! Jesus our teacher knew this and gave ALL credit to his Father Jehovah. Through Jehovah ALL things are possible, without Him nothing is possible. The translators of the New Testament translated without any desire to add human doctrines. They only wanted the truth. And even if God’s name did get in His book more than in the original, what would be better, knowing His name or taking His name out and not knowing His name? I think it’s better to let the Bible translate the Bible. What does all of it say . . . Romans 10:13, For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”
I know that Jehovah is God’s name. I also agree that we should call him by his name. But the big question I have is I know they have taken Jehovah's name out of the bible. But I also know Jehovah's Witness have also put Jehovah's name in places that don't say this name rather it say Lord or Almighty or I am. Does not Revelation also say not to add anything to the bible? Why do people have to change it so it supports their belief? It's so wrong because in some places it looks like Jehovah, and Jesus are one if you don't change the words and in other places it says they are two different people? So the Bible’s original texts show both cases! Please help!
Has anyone given any thought that Jehovah and Jesus may be two different persons? These scriptures are not understandable if they both are just one. ( John 14:28) . . .If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am. ( Mark 13:32) “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. ( Luke 22:42) . . .“Father, if you wish, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.” (If they were one how can they have two wills)? ( John 5:30) I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. (Two very distinct persons here). In fact, the Bible is peppered with reasoning that Jehovah and Jesus are two very distinct persons). ( Mark 12:28-30) . . .“Which commandment is first of all?”
Verse 29, Jesus answered: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah,
Verse 30, and you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength.’
Removing Jehovah’s name from His book opened the door for the prophesied apostasy and it worked very well. Jehovah our Creator got lost in the doctrines of men.
Jehovah is the closest translation of the holy scriptures compared to original Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts. Jehovah wants us to know him. Why do you think He sent His son Jesus Christ? I AM ONE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT. I am so glad someone came to my door and offered me a bible study!
The bible said, don't take away from it. My name is Tonya not girl, not lady not sister those are titles and not my name. We are to praise his name and it’s Jehovah. And for me that's the truth he is my creator and his son Jesus is my savior.
It’s nice to see so many comments on the truth. Jehovah has been making his name known through his witnesses during the time of the end. The sad reality is that people who claim to be Christian are so ingrained in pagan traditions that they will not believe it and would rather continue their worldly lifestyle. The truth is being made known and Jehovah will let every person on earth know he is Jehovah, when he sends his son Jesus at Armageddon. Jesus said the time of the end will be just the same as Noah’s day when the truth was being told, the signs were being told but no one wanted to listen but would rather ridicule and continue in their lifestyle until the flood came and swept them all away.
Many bible translators agreed with the Jewish tradition of omitting or changing the Divine name. But what did Jesus said about the Jews? Matthew 15:6 "and so you have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition."
I feel that we should all know God’s name but we should not use it, after all you would not call your dad by his name would you, that would be disrespectful, likewise with God’s name. If it was real in the old manuscripts then it should not have ever been removed ( Revelation 22:18-19).
How interesting that we as humans give more importance to a celebrity name by copying said names to give to our children; yet the name of Jehovah God has been removed from Bible translations. Do we not get angry or bothered, if a coworker forgets our name. Imagine how Jehovah God must feel. Worst are those claiming to serve him, yet teach that his name cannot be pronounced. I will continue to pray to him by using his name.
For I testify unto every man that heareth the word of the of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the word of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18,19.
