[Yarddog]

Out of the multitude of names the Bible and others give, what is your most favorite one and why?

Father- there is no better feeling than to know that the creator of all is there to guide me and to nourish me. To know that I am a child of God thrills me.

God Bless,
Yarddog

I thought God had only one name: Yahweh.

 

[Benoni]

Here is one of my favorite

"El", often translated "God", primarily means "might" or "power." David speaks His Name: "It is El that girdeth me with strength." The revelation of the name "Shaddai" is different. It also expresses power, but it is not the power of violence, but of all-bountifulness.
"Shaddai" means "Breasted", a word formed from the Hebrew word "Shad" meaning "the breast", more specifically, "a woman’s breast". Thus "Shaddai"means "The Pourer or Shedder forth" of blessings both natural and spiritual. This third name shows us His nature as One whose self-sacrificing love gives and pours itself out for others.

The Names of God

 

[ConqueredbyLove]

Wow! What a beautiful thread!

How we can never exhaust studying our dear Lord and one of the best ways is to study Him as He reveals Himself through His names...

I have wanted to go through the list from Blue Letter Bible for a long time but have procrastinated...

Blessings to all who participate and read here!

ELOHIM (GOD)​

The Lord has given us a seven-fold revelation of His nature through the seven names by which he has revealed Himself throughout the Word. Seven means completion or fullness, so His Names reveal the fullness of His nature. If you know only one or two, you will most assuredly have an "unbalanced" understanding of Him. You need to understand each facet of His character in order to fully know Him. The names under which God has revealed Himself to man assist us in seeing His fullness, even to seeing Him as He is. The first four names are revealed in Genesis. They each show some distinct attribute or characteristic of the same God. They tell us what God is. God’s Being is so wonderful and manifold that no one name can express all that He is.
The only name used in the first chapter of Genesis, is GOD, or Elohim. This is the name we need to know before all others. And I declare, His children would have more peace if they knew it! Elohim, in the Hebrew, means "to swear." It describes One who stands i n a covenant-relationship ratified by an oath. Psalm
110:4 says, "The Lord sware and will not repent. . . "and this was prior to creation. So, before He even made man, God made a covenant concerning him! Under this name we see God, according to His own will, working on a dark and ruined creation till, by His Word, all is set in order and made very good. He brings back His light and life and then His image into the creature. In virtue of His own nature and covenant-relationship to His creation, He can never leave it, fallen as it is, till all again is very good.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. . . " Gen. 1:26. This was God’s covenant with man. This was His purpose for making man — to have a visible expression of Himself!"
"But," you may object, "the fall changed all that! Now man is but a fallen creature."
I must answer that when God made covenant it was not dependent upon man’s keeping any part. It was strictly made on God’s part —an act of His will. This is proven by the statement: "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things. . . but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundations of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you" I Peter 1:20. God knew that man would fail and fall and had made provision for that before it happened! Elohim is God in covenant. His people may not know it, but God has said ,My covenant will I not break, nor alter the word that is gone out of My lips" Psa.89:34.
When He assures us that He will be "our God" (Isa.40:1), He means: "For this is the covenant . . . I will put my laws into their minds, and in their heart will I write them; and I will be unto them a God and they shall be to Me a people" Heb. 8:10. God has sworn — pledging His Word both for Himself and for His creation. God promises for both parts — saying "I will" and "I shall." He loves, first of all, in virtue of relationship, which does not even consider our sinful condition. "For while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Comparing this to a human family, let us say that a little boy with some handicap is born into a certain family. The child may not look at all attractive and will never, it appears, be able to care for himself .Yet, the parents care for him with undying devotion —first of all, because of relationship —this is their child. He came forth from their love union. He is an extension of themselves, and they go to great ends to provide the child with the best possible advantages to promote his life. And, of course, their love progresses from loving because of relationship to loving that child for himself.
Now, let us see God in this, for we are His family, and He is our Father. We too, have been born "handicapped" by our mortality — the realm of death and sin in which we walk. Yet, the Lord regards not our unloveliness and our unlikeness to Him. He loves us because we are an extension of Himself! He sent us forth to inhabit a body of flesh. He is the Father of our spirit. "All souls are Mine," says the Lord. He loves us in virture of relationship —because we are His offspring — and He has sworn to make us like Himself. As the loving earthly parents, He too makes a costly provision (of His own life!) in order that His children might be able to walk in life. And, as they begin to make steps in the way of the Spirit,God loves them in a deeper way.
A natural father boasts,"Johnny has my nose!" Our heavenly Father delights, "My child is beginning to share with others. He has a caring heart like Mine" and He rejoices over every small step His child makes toward life and goodness (which is His glory!) The reason I feel so strongly about the covenant that God has made with man concerning the making of man in His image and likeness is that the Lord has written it indelibly upon my heart! Years ago, upon awakening , I heard this scripture resounding in my spirit: "Let us make man in our image and in our likeness." I rejoiced to hear that from the Lord, and that word did not leave me all day. It was just there in my heart all the time! Finally, at suppertime, I said to my husband, "Of this one thing I am sure: the Lord purposes to make us in His image and likeness. He has been saying it to me all day and I am convinced in my heart that He really means it!" After I confessed that truth aloud, I heard it no more within. The Lord knew that "I had got the message!" It was a revelation from God that has never left me. Even then, I can see that the Lord was teaching me, not only His Word, but also His nature which ensures that He will keep His Word.
Jesus taught us concerning His pledge, but we have not "seen it" as an integral part of the nature of God. When the Pharisees objected that He received sinners (Luke 15:1,2), the Lord answered, "What man of you — fallen and wretched as you are — would be content to lose even a sheep which had strayed from you? Or what woman would be content to lose a piece of silver? Would you not seek your lost until you found it?"
Is not the lost creature really God’s loss? Can He rest until He find it? And when it is found, is it not His joy even more than the recovered creature’s? Here the Lord declares — not the joy of the recovered sheep, or the silver, or the lost son, but the joy of the Shepherd, the Woman, and the Father. Each one exclaims: "Rejoice with me, for I have found that which I had lost." His name Elohim says all this!
Many Christians believe that God can do anything He wants to do, but they are unsure of His will —unsure if He wants to be a "blesser"; to do good unto His creation. So many have been taught that God is watching them to see if they step out of line, and then watch out for that big stick! Know that God is both able and willing to do all His good pleasure! Did not Jesus come "to seek and to save that which was lost?" That was God — Elohim, keeping His covenant with us!
To the One who has said, "I will be to you a God," shall we not reply, "My Elohim, in Him will I trust!" Psalm 91:2.

THY GLORY!​

A Series On The Names of God​

by Elaine Cook​

 

[SummaScriptura]

Reciting "The 1,000 Names of God", isn't a particularly Jewish or Christian occupation. Count up all the names of God in the Bible and you will not come close to 1,000. If God has 1,000 names, why is this fact not revealed in our Bible? Perhaps listing the "The 1,000 Names of God" might be a good Baha'i activity. It is a fact that many names used for God and the gods of this world are not fittingly applied to the One God with whom we have to do. For instance:

God ≠ Krishna
God ≠ Chemosh
God ≠ Azazel
God ≠ Buddha
God ≠ Ganesh
God ≠ Hanuman
God ≠ The Allah of the Quran (he has no son)
God ≠ Ahura Mazda (he has no son)
God ≠ Vishnu
God ≠ Shiva

Reciting the 1,000 names of God seems to me to be a practice well-suited to a monist, all-inclusive world view, an outlook which seems very vogue in the world today and which will no doubt play a part in the scenarios laid out in the Bible for the consummation of the times.

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread it has reaffirmed what I have learned in my bible studies.
Well Jesus referred to himself as the way, the truth, and the light.
To add a couple more: Lamb of God, The Word, and Savior.

Don't forget the early disciples referred to him as the way and were first renamed Christians in Antioch.

Acts 11:26
And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
