Who is God
First it must be noted;
That there are many gods
The Word of God the bible states that Satan is a god; 2 Cor 4:4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. NLT
In fact there many gods; 1 Cor 8:5 …there are many such gods…. 6 yet we have but one God, the Father, who is the source of all things… Weymouth Ex 20:3 You shall have no other gods before Me. NKJV
Christ is even called: Mighty God; at: Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born*, unto us a son is given… Mighty God… 7 … The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. NKJV [Scofield KJV ref: * “Christ”]
Notice that Christ’s name shall be called… Mighty God indicating he becomes Mighty God [he hasn’t always been Mighty God] and also that: The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this, and The zeal of the Lord of hosts will be seen later to be Almighty God the Father and it is Almighty God the Father who makes Christ Mighty God. It must be stated when that Christ becomes Mighty God and he is still subject to Almighty God his God and Father, to accomplish his Fathers will.
As there are many gods how do we distinguish God the Father from the many gods? Who is God the Father, some say He is a trinity of gods and that Christ is God or part of God, this is referred to by Sir Isaac Newton as a “corruption of Scripture” that’s covered in; Trinity, a pagan doctrine. Some say He has no name just LORD as in the New-King James Version states at; Ps 83:18 That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD… or that His name is just Almighty God, or that His name is too sacred and must not be used, in fact all these false beliefs are still preached today in most churches despite the fact that God does have a name and requires his faithful worshipers to use that name.
What makes things worse is that within a few hundred years of the apostles’ deaths, God’s Word was restricted to the Latin language, in the form of Jerome’s Latin Vulgate and the name of God that was used over 7,000 times in the original Hebrew and Greek was removed completely. Then for more than a thousand years the bible could not be read in peoples own languages and His name was not read or heard, as with the English language due the Orthodox Church restricting its translation to Latin so that ordinary people were ignorant of God’s name.
An introduction to God
However a little over 480 years ago one English man didn’t agree with that and that man was William Tyndale who translated and printed the most important and earliest versions of the Bible into English, so that the common people could read and understand the bible themselves, without the corruptions in interpretation of the church who used bibles in Latin that could only be quoted by the clergy, in order that the church could dominate the congregation with false teachings of hell fire, purgatory and the trinity. Thankfully some of Tyndale’s Translations just survived the persecution from the Orthodox Church and the Crown, surviving partly due to the printing press having just been invented, so partly due to the large number of bible copies printed, unfortunately William Tyndale who was considered the most dangerous man in England didn’t survived and was killed in 1536, not a nice death. William Tyndale is in my book one of the most important men since the times of Christ and his apostles as William Tyndale is also credited with translating God’s name from the Hebrew form of the Tetragrammaton into English as; Jehovah. Often considered a modern day Americanism but the name Jehovah was coined by the English man William Tyndale in 1530 and it was the Orthodox Church that deprived us of its usage.
Almighty God’s name Jehovah distinguishes Almighty God by that name from all other gods, who are minor gods hence the small ‘g’, the use of the name Jehovah also clearly highlights the distinctions between Almighty God Himself and His first created heavenly Son who later was sent to earth and became known as Jesus Christ (see; Trinity, a pagan doctrine).
The name Jehovah first appeared in Tyndale’s English Bible in 1530 20 times, when he published a translation of the first five books of the Bible. Tyndale’s translation was the basis of the Matthew’s Bible and the later King James Bible even though he wasn’t credited for it and even today it still isn’t widely acknowledged, apparently it makes up for about 84% of the King James Bible. The Old King James Bible used the name Jehovah in only four places and only in the Old Testament, the most famous being; Ps 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. KJV It’s interesting to note that where it says; ‘That men may know’ which seems rather casual, is from the Hebrew word; ‘yada’ and literally means ‘to know’ and so in the Hebrew it’s more of an absolute requirement, as the previous verses clearly show this to be the case of ungodly men; Ps 83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord. 17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish. KJV. And where in verse 16 it’s written “O lord” it should be Jehovah’s name as it is in the Hebrew scripture, as with Young’s Literal Translation; Ps 83:16 Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah. Disgracefully the New-King James Version has removed God’s true name completely.
There is a parallel here with some who seek in vain for Jehovah’s name due to being ungodly man and those who know and use it, when compared with the teachings of Christ: Matt 13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand… 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. NKJV
Surely to take God’s name out of His Word the bible, the principle is the same as at: Rev 22:19 if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life BBE. And again if anyone takes anything out of the Word of God, particularly of all things His Name or refuse to use it as it was written they are like Saul at; 1 Sam 15:23 Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee… ASV
Also now it’s been established that Almighty God the Fathers’ name is Jehovah it can be seen that at Isa 9:7 where many bibles use the words “zeal of the Lord of hosts” according to the Hebrew it should read: The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts [doth this]. YLT, which clearly identifies that Christ’s becoming; Wonderful, Counsellor, mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, is given to him by his Heavenly Father Almighty God Jehovah and Jehovah is the source of Christ’s authority.
Christ is given position and power to fulfil his fathers will but eventually once completed Christ returns that authority to his Father as shown at; 1 Cor 15:28 When everything and everyone is finally under God’s rule, the Son will step down, taking his place with everyone else, showing that God’s rule is absolutely comprehensive — a perfect ending! THE MESSAGE
Pronunciation of Gods’ Name
The original pronunciation in the early Hebrew has been lost as what we would call vowels in English is not in the copies of the later Hebrew, in part because the scribes became superstitious about what would happen to them if they were to make an error in copying God’s name. Today there are mainly two different versions of how God’s name is written and pronounced, the main difference is if a “Y” is used as in “Yahweh” or more often in English a “J” is used as in “Jehovah“, the “Y” is taken from the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) which is in the Hebrew translations. There are other pronunciations; Yehwah, Yehwih, Yeho·wah, Yahuwa, Yahuah, Yehuah and others.
So which one is correct, well if Almighty God required a specific pronunciation of His name there is no doubt that the whole of the original Hebrew word would be preserved, with its true original pronunciation and so we would have it and use it. That not being the case then possibly Yahweh is the closest to the Hebrew, but since the fact that William Tyndale introduced us to God’s name in English over 480 years ago as Jehovah and its usage in the most famous and the most published book of all the King James Bible, and added to that in English as we use a ‘J’ in Jesus which is taken from God’s name (meaning; “Jehovah Is Salvation”) so Jehovah would be correct, otherwise we have to call Jesus; Yahshua and that would confuse most people.
Interesting are the comments in the New Catholic bible, what a shame that they don’t use it themselves!
A gift of a name, a sign of friendship and yet most who profess to worship Almighty God refuse to use it. Whether one uses the pronunciation Yahweh or Jehovah it should be used, not to would be insulting.
There is a great deal of ignorance, misinformation and insulting beliefs taught about our loving, caring Creator, which doesn’t stop at not knowing and using His name, it is widely taught and believed it most churches that Jehovah God causes mankind pain and suffering and takes our loved ones away from us,
See; Does God give and take away?
But it doesn’t even stop there many bibles wrongly translate the Hebrew word; Sheol and the Greek words; Hades, Gehenna and even Tartaros as hell and most churches teach hell fire. So they teach that once God has taken our loved ones away these churches teach that God torments them in purgatory then hell. They also teach that all these things were God’s original purpose for mankind.
See; Life, Death and after life
What a disgusting insult to portray our loving Heavenly Father, Who has shown such abundance in loving care and attention in His grand creation of our beautiful goldilocks planet earth, the abundance of life, and what about the ever increasing information we are discovering about the complexity of life itself like DNA.
See; Creation Evolution versus logic.
Then there’s the Genesis creation account it’s treated as a quaint story by most religions and discarded, when in fact it is accurate and supported by the fossil record and DNA, as you will know if you have seen Creation, Evolution verses logic. Which leads us into creation by God the Genesis account itself.
