The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Names of God

Johannah,

Honestly, where do you get this stuff from?

The tetragrammaton (4 Consonants) which are found, e.g,. in Exodus 6:2, 3; Ps 83:18; et al have no vowels and thus they are NOT "Yahshua". But rather it is a transliteration. And that's why there are the two main variants given to it, i.e., "Jehovah" or "Yahweh". We are given MANY names for God who is Triune, and thus none are restricted to the "Father" alone. In Exodus 3:14, we have the record of yet another designation of God when Moses asked Him who he should say sent him; what is YOUR name?. The word given as His name is actually the verb "to be", which is correctly translated, "I am". It's meaning is one Who is eternal/infinite, without beginning or end, and thus it was given as "I am . . that . . I am". When the Pharisees asked Jesus who He was; to identify Himself, He did not reply that His name was Yeshua, but rather He said, "before Abraham sprang to life, I am" (John 8:58). Thus Christ revealed Himself as the Eternal God.

And again, why is this seemingly so important to you that one have the "real name" of Him Who is called Christ? Inquiring minds wanna know!!

In His Grace,
