The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum A burning question

thebutler,<br><br>Welcome to the Forum. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img]<br><br>As sbc_and_reformed asked you.. "don't shout"! But she is assuming that you are aware that on the Internet, USING ALL CAPS is universally recognized as synonymous with vocally shouting. It is fine to use CAPS as a means of emphasizing something, but it shouldn't be done in the manner in which you have written your reply. So, please respect the accepted means of communication in this medium.<br><br>Now, to the issue you raised, i.e., "the name of God = Jehovah", are you aware that "Jehovah" doesn't actually exist biblically? It is derived from 4 consonants (with no vowels), thus making it unpronounceable. It is called the "Tetragrammaton". For the sake of bing able to pronounce that four-letter word 3 vowels have been added. Technically, it is the verb "to be", which is rightly translated, I AM (cf. Ex. 3:14). It is also acceptable to use either Jehovah or Yahweh.<br><br>In His Grace,
