Hi there!



Please pay attention to the responding members.... if you have questions then ask the moderators because members outside mainstream Christianity are posting responses to you.


There are many names for God depending upon the attribute or essence of God that is being addressed...

From BLB... http://www.blueletterbible.org/study/misc/name_god.html

El Shaddai
El Elyon
Adonai
Yahweh
Jehovah
Jehovah-Nissi
Jehovah-Raah
Jehovah Rapha
Jehovah Shammah
Jehovah Tsidkenu
Jehovah Mekoddishkem
El Olam
Elohim
Qanna
Jehovah Jireh
Jehovah Shalom
Jehovah Sabaoth



If you know Hebrew (/Greek), then you would see that when particular petitions are placed before God, they are related to the name/essence of God that applies... such as this "famous" psalm...again from BLB...

In the Old Testament Jehovah-Raah (The Lord my Shepherd) is used in Psalm 23.


Jehovah-Raah in the Septuagint: kurios poimainei me — the Lord shepherds me


Rô'eh from which Raah derived, means "shepherd" in Hebrew.

If one of these two are right then why do we speak of the three persons but do not say the name when we baptise

There are also many "titles" for Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and for the totality of God. The passage is a quotation from Christ's teachings, and that is called the "baptismal formula" which is provided by the Lord for our baptism into the faith. The manuscripts are not "modified" ideas, but are the records of eye witnesses to the testament of Jesus Christ..


BTW... Jehovah in the Old Testament is Jesus Christ pre-incarnate.

How about God the one the only true God
I am that I am is what he said to Moses so tell them I AM sent you
Son of Rightiousness and the Lamb who was slain, your the Lily of the Valley your my Bright and Morning Star, your the Begining and the End, Your the Everlasting Father, Your the GOD God of all Gory, Your my Healer and the King of Kings, My Deliverer and my Friend, Your the sweet Rose of Sheron, Your all Love and your all Power, Your Merciful and your Mighty, Your the Redeemer of all Man Kind, Your the Lion the Lion of Judah, Your the Ruler of this whole Universe, Your the Most High Messiah, Your the soon coming King, Holy, Holy is Your NAME

Jesus! All other descriptions are just titles. There are so many titles for God that there would never be enough room in this thread to list them all. If you ever want them....let me know.

Recognise who you are talkign to, treat Him like one of your closest buddy and talk often and keep company with Him. He knows you and is happy that you are calling Him, even if it was "hey you" knowing that if that is truly a loving way for you to call out to Him, He will answer. God is more concerned about the relationship than about giving out His name like it has some magical formula for speaking it. He is known by many names and understood by so few. He is calling upon us all to come closer and wishes more would heed. He will return and know those who have answered and have obeyed, these He will call His friends and take them home with Him. MAny here on the forum have given you their understanding of the sacredness of His name, the importance of what you call Him and the understanding that there is a name no one on earth knows but that the true friends of God will know in time. I would think it is more important to become one of His best friends calling upon Him with the name that is most comfortable between you too and as your relationship grows so also will the understanding of what is truly the best name to call Him.
