I will pass on the guessing exercise.@Xeno.of.athens and @Jonaitis How about John 4:22? There is a reason Yeshua said that and it is directly related to this discussion. Do you know why?
then you should not be saying that you know The Name...it is not a guessing game.I will pass on the guessing exercise.
Where exactly did I say, "I know the name"?then you should not be saying that you know The Name...it is not a guessing game.
Implication from post 26 and you laughing at my post...Where exactly did I say, "I know the name"?

Well you posted it so you must agree with it...I am not responsible for your interpretations of my posts.
It comes from my reading of many sources. Really, you could find it with a very simple web search. It cannot be new to you.Well you posted it so you must agree with it...
You wrote:
YHWH is a transliteration of יהוה (read the Hebrew letters right to left). Yahweh is the current favoured pronunciation of the letters, Jehovah (read like a German would pronounce it) is a much older preferred pronunciation (it sounds more like Yahowah in German), it is a three syllable name whereas Yahweh is two syllables. The LORD is a translation of the name, it is something of a substitution too, since YHWH does not mean "the Lord", it means "I am that I am" or something similar. For Christians "the Lord" is a good choice because it is what Christians have used through the ages until now.
There was NO citation on where the information came from so...
Its not new to me of course, but the way you wrote it, looked like it was what you believed. Is it?It comes from my reading of many sources. Really, you could find it with a very simple web search. It cannot be new to you.

Then I was correct in my assumptions regarding your beliefs...thanks for proving I was correctit is.
Paul was using tact in reaching the hearts of those men of Athens.The verse you posted deals with Israel (worshipping other gods), the verse I posted deals with Gentiles (worshipping God). Islam worships what they do not know or understand.
Yes, "LORD" is a substitution for the name of God, but do you think it is proper to substitute a name with a title that is common to even Gentiles?YHWH is a transliteration of יהוה (read the Hebrew letters right to left).

It was done by the Greek translators around 200 BC. Christians used the Greek old testament so they inherited it.Yes, "LORD" is a substitution for the name of God, but do you think it is proper to substitute a name with a title that is common to even Gentiles?
May I ask why you think it's okay. Is it okay if I substitute your name with "man" in a book you published?It was done by the Greek translators around 200 BC. Christians used the Greek old testament so they inherited it.
I think it is okay to use "the LORD" instead of YHWH.
I think it is okay because the Lord, Jesus Christ, quotes Old Testament passages that contain YHWH using the Greek "the Lord" and because the apostles do the same in their writings.May I ask why you think it's okay. Is it okay if I substitute your name with "man" in a book you published?
I think God looks upon this issue as a distraction his children get into. Phonics doesn't mean anything to God. One can debate should we use the name Jesus or the Hebrew rendering......but they miss the point. It's what the name means......he would be named Jesus for he will deliver or save his people from their sins. What's important is Jesus or whatever other way in Hebrew you want to say it they both mean Deliverer, Savor who was the Son of the Father God.Which matters more or most when using or calling upon a name?
Getting the sound exactly right, or what is in your mind and heart when you are saying it?
God Bless.
People do love/covet their distractions.I think God looks upon this issue as a distraction his children get into.
Why would Jesus do that?I think it is okay because the Lord, Jesus Christ, quotes Old Testament passages that contain YHWH using the Greek "the Lord" and because the apostles do the same in their writings.
Have you been reading the appendix of The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures?Why would Jesus do that?
Are you aware that the copies of the Greek scriptures where LORD is used, are those from the third century A.D. onward, and that by that time, the practice of replacing the Tetragrammaton was common?
So, the practice of erasing the name of God was done by so-called Christians.
Why would Jesus - a man that said, as stated at John 17:6, :I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world." quote scriptures such as, Deuteronomy 8:3, and follow a common practice of men?
Jesus never followed traditions of men, did he?
Based on what we know, scores of Bible translators have used the Divine name in the Greek scriptures - especially where a direct quotation from the Hebrew scriptures is found.
That makes sense, and seems noble of persons respecting God's name.
