Why Do We Not Use The Name Of God YHVH?

No, God tells us His personal name. This isn't an attribute....

How do you know?? What does it mean??? And just how is that pronounced--in English--in Chinese--If Moses had been Chinese than what would He have said?? It is synonymous with "I Am"--What is that?

justlookinla said:

Well, it means something and God says it's His name. I think it's important to call God by His name, since He's revealed it to us. It's not a English or Chinese name, it's a Hebrew name and should be used as such.

It means "Iam" I exist --and if you do not know what it means, then how do you know it is not an attribute?? And it is a Hebrew name, told to a Hebrew for the Hebrews to use. When the bible is translated into Japanese or Chinese what is it??--in Spanish it is Dios--Like I asked--if God had spoken to a Chinese Moses--what would He have called Himself? The Holy Spirit talks to all peoples---all languages--when the disciples spoke in tongues it says everyone heard them "in their own language"--

Try it
Breathe in: Yud
Breathe out: Hay
Breathe in: Vud
Breathe out: Hay

That's YHWH in a nutshell.

Breathing isn't producing Gods name.

From Der Alter's post earlier according to the Jewish Encyclopedia the meaning of the name is "He is," or "He will be," or, perhaps, "He lives," the root idea of the word being, probably, "to blow," "to breathe," and hence, "to live."

Abraham's name has a meaning, Moses' name has a meaning, but Abraham's name is Abraham, Moses' name is Moses. They have personal names, just as God has a personal name.

God didn't speak to a Chinese Moses, He spoke to His people at the time and gave them a name. That's the name He wishes to be called by.

And nobody knows how to pronounce it correctly. "It sounds like", "probably sounds like" is as close as anyone can get. Like I said--He spoke to a Jew in the language the Jew knew. And no---Moses name is not Moses--his personal name is Mosheh ((plucked out)--Abraham is not Abraham, it is Avraham (father). Why do you not call them by their proper personal names?
What did Jesus call Him? What did the disciples call Him? What is He called by the New Testament writers??

When my earthly Father was alive I never referred to him by his given name, indeed it would have seemed disrespectful to do so....because I was his son. I called Him daddy, dad, father.

Galatians 4:6
"Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

Simply put: people choose tradition instead of Yah's word & His name.

The Tetragrammaton is YHUH

First off, we do know his name, half of it is YAH

Psalm 68:4
"Sing unto Elohim(god), sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Yah, and rejoice before him.”

Hallelujah(which should be HalleluYah) means praise YAH

So now we have YaHUH,

When we look at Hebrew names, we see that the next letter is definitely U, not V or W.

Netanyahu
Yeshayahu(Isaiah)
Mattityahu(Matthew)
Eliyahu(Elijah)
Yahudah(Judah)
Yahusha(Joshua, also the Messiah's name)



The name Yahudah contains the name of the Father, but it has a D added to it, so when you take away the D, you get Yahuah(Yah-Hoo-Ah)

So now we have all the letters, YaHUaH.

HALLELUYAH!

I encourage everyone to research and study study study

The Father DOES have a name, and it's not "lord", "god" etc. it's Yahuah, and His Son's name is Yahusha(Yahuah is Salvation), NOT "jesus"

Isaiah 42:8
“I am Yahuah: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”

Food for thought: what a shame that "christians" REFUSE to call Yah by his name, but pharaoh used it in exodus multiple times. Yet his own children don't even wanna use it!

Exodus 10:16
"Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Yahuah your Elohim, and against you.”

Shalom!

It is YHVH not YHWH. I have it on the highest authority that the former not the latter is the correct pronunciation. It means to be or simply being. It is his personal name.

Proverbs 30:4 "Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!"

I do and our God is awesome!

I don't know what your "good authority" is but you might want to review the article from the Jewish Encyclopedia I posted above Post #64. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia the creator's name is Yahweh.

And how much Hebrew did you study, where and when? I will refer you to the Jewish Encyclopedia [JE] which I quoted above Post #64. The JE was produced and edited by 35+ Jewish scholars. I'm sure that the Jews know how to pronounce the Hebrew letter ו in יהוה , יהושׁע and other names. יהושׁע is pronounced Yehoshua and יהוה is pronounced Yahweh.

no thank you. Those "scholars" are using incorrect names.

yehoshua is inaccurate simply based on the fact that Yahu was taken out and replaced with yeho. This is directly inline with Jewish tradition of removing/replacing Yah's name. It's not rocket science. Lol

We know Yahweh can't be correct because the Father's name has a U in it, whereas Yahweh does not.

again, i encourage you to study and research further and ask the Spirit to guide you and reveal the truth about The Father & Son's name. You can start by googling Yahuah and Yahusha

Yahusha is used over 200 times in the Old Testament. Yahushua only like 2 times. There is no such name as Yehoshua or Yahweh in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Shalom!

Yes, as I pointed out earlier, names have meanings. Abraham means something, Moses means something, and YHWH means something. But the name of Abraham is Abraham, the name of Moses is Moses, the name of YHWH is YHWH. (Or YHVH if you prefer).

Why use 'God' or 'Lord' when those aren't names?

I tried to call him Steve once in prayer, but I don't think he was amused.

I thought YHWH was Roman script that sounded out as , Yod Heh Vav Heh. And was used because God's name was sacred and unable to be uttered by humans. And that's why we don't use the actual name but translate YHWH to a rough translation of , "Yahweh". So as to be a name for God.

I know people who call God, Yah. Due to the Yahweh/YHWH.

You did not answer my question, where and when did you study Hebrew? You have been given some very faulty information. I do not profess to be an expert but I have studied both Biblical languages at the post graduate level. I have Hebrew lexicons and grammars in my personal library. What makes you think anything was changed? I have heard these claims before from various 'sacred name" groups. But they never provide any evidence for thier claims.
For your information there were and are no vowels in Hebrew. ו The letter you are calling a "U" is in fact a consonant. The correct name for it is waw. It can sometimes have the "U" sound depending on which vowel sound precedes it. Much like our letter "W" Sometimes it can have an "oo" sound as in "two." Or an "aw" sound as in law. Or an "o" sound as in "tow."

again, i encourage you to study and research further and ask the Spirit to guide you and reveal the truth about The Father & Son's name. You can start by googling Yahuah and Yahusha

You said I should study. Googling is not studying. I remind you I have studied Hebrew at the graduate level. All you are doing is saying "I'm right and you're wrong. Am too! Nuh Huh!" I would like to see credible, verifiable, historical evidence as I presented in my previous post, not unsupported personal opinion. Just because something is posted on the internet does not make it true.

Well, rather than get snippy, which I can do myself on occasion, why not point out the copse and get on with it?
