In Christ,

And in that day YOU will certainly say: "Give thanks to Jehovah, YOU people! Call upon his name. Make known among the peoples his dealings. Make mention that his name is put on high. Make melody to Jehovah, for he has done surpassingly. This is made known in all the earth.
Isaiah 12:4, 5;


stick to Gods word and we cannot go wrong.



when Jesus Christ taught his followers how to pray, he showed them that this should be their first concern. "You must pray, then, this way," he said: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified." (Matthew 6:9) This means holding the name sacred, treating it as something holy. Jesus himself certainly did this. He did not fail to use his Father’s name, nor did he treat it as unimportant. To the contrary, in prayer to his Father, Jesus said: "I have made your name known to them and will make it known." (John 17:26) He knew that it is God’s purpose for his name to be glorified in all the earth, and he set the example in proclaiming and honoring that name. (John 12:28; Isaiah 12:4, 5)

Stick to Christ Jesus and you cannot go wrong.

Don't confuse Jehovah with Father God. Jesus himself certainly didn't do this. He did not fail to use his Father’s name, nor did he treat it as unimportant. To the contrary, in prayer to his Father, Jesus said: "I have made your name known to them and will make it known." (John 17:26) And the Gospels do not record Jesus ever using the name "Jehovah".

Yes, sticking to the teachings of Jesus is the way to go and taking the name of God out of the bible would not be inline with Gods purpose or Jesus himself .
and Gods name was very important in the eyes of Jesus. and in prayer to his father he said,

“I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word. John 17;6


Why is the divine name in its full form not in any available ancient manuscript of the Christian Greek Scriptures?

The so-called Christians, then, who “replaced the Tetragrammaton by kyrios” in the Septuagint copies, were not the early disciples of Jesus. They were persons of later centuries, when the foretold apostasy was well developed and had corrupted the purity of Christian teachings.—2Th 2:3; 1Ti 4:1.

It evidently took place in the centuries following the death of Jesus and his apostles.


Commenting on the fact that the oldest fragments of the Greek Septuagint do contain the divine name in its Hebrew form, Dr. P. Kahle says: “We now know that the Greek Bible text [the Septuagint] as far as it was written by Jews for Jews did not translate the Divine name by kyrios, but the Tetragrammaton written with Hebrew or Greek letters was retained in such MSS [manuscripts]. It was the Christians who replaced the Tetragrammaton by kyrios, when the divine name written in Hebrew letters was not understood any more.” (The Cairo Geniza, Oxford, 1959, p. 222)


Restoration of the divine name in translation.

Recognizing that this must have been the case, some translators have included the name Jehovah in their renderings of the Christian Greek Scriptures. The Emphatic Diaglott, a 19th-century translation by Benjamin Wilson, contains the name Jehovah a number of times, particularly where the Christian writers quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures. But as far back as the 14th century the Tetragrammaton had already begun to be used in translations of the Christian Scriptures into Hebrew, beginning with the translation of Matthew into Hebrew that was incorporated in the work ’E′ven bo′chan by Shem-Tob ben Isaac Ibn Shaprut. Wherever Matthew quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures, this translation used the Tetragrammaton in each case of its occurrence. Many other Hebrew translations have since followed the same practice.

You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

I will point out for the cheap seats in deep center field, God's name is not "Jehovah". Never was. That is an English translation, and not a very good one, since Hebrew never utters J or V, sounds in the language.

good point, and even so, christians know the name jehovah, many of our songs and scriptures of various bibles say jehovah, as well as YHWH or LORD, so its not new to anyone, not me anyways. but if you say Jehovah, i automatically think of the Father and the Son at the same time having the same name of YHWH.

From what I am starting to see... I call god, Love.

[greymare]

OR we could call him Harvey. LOL.

[greymare]

yeh, yeh, I know "blasphemer"< Ill just slink off now into a corner.

[17th Angel]

God is very much like Harvey.... He comes to us all in his own special way, he has many names, many ways.... Yet he will never fail to touch us... And we should feel the effects of that are very strong, and we should know... Go with the feeling in your gut. So I say, call him, her, it, that whatever you wish, just know it is very good.... He/It/She could be simply a smile from another, a firm hug, a sun set, a sun rise, the silence, Peace and serenity of dawn..... A six-foot three and a half inch rabbit, a man giving you change. The world we live in... Everywhere, every form.
