Although religiously inclined, many who believe in the Bible give little thought to the issue of God's name. But how does God feel about it?

If He wants us to know, He'll make it known...

Jehovah wants his name to be known , PSALM 83;18 and even though the Jews consider it a sin to use the name, that is not what the scriptures have told them to do . tradItions of man do all sorts of things out of line with Gods word .


That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth.PSALM 83;18



(Psalm 68:4) Sing YOU to God, make melody to his name; Raise up [a song] to the One riding through the desert plains As Jah, which is his name; and jubilate before him;



(Isaiah 42:8) “I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images.



(Isaiah 54:5) “For your Grand Maker is your husbandly owner, Jehovah of armies being his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Repurchaser. The God of the whole earth he will be called.


(Romans 3:29) Or is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of people of the nations? Yes, of people of the nations also,


(Luke 11:2) Then he said to them: “Whenever YOU pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come.



(John 12:28) Father, glorify your name.” Therefore a voice came out of heaven: “I both glorified [it] and will glorify [it] again.”



(Acts 15:14) Sym′e·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.




(Revelation 15:3) And they are singing the song of Moses the slave of God and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and wonderful are your works, Jehovah God, the Almighty. Righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity.





we can never ware out the name of God , HE CAUSES TO BECOME

AND HE HAS



(Exodus 9:16) But, in fact, for this cause I have kept you in existence, for the sake of showing you my power and in order to have my name declared in all the earth.



(Romans 9:17) For the Scripture says to Phar′aoh: “For this very cause I have let you remain, that in connection with you I may show my power, and that my name may be declared in all the earth.”

God has feelings? Oh, that's right. He's jealous, he's angry, he's repentant of his anger. He kills people who accidentally touch his sacred stuff. He's collecting the foreskins of his enemies. He likes the smell of burning animal fat. And he won't listen to anyone who won't pronounce his name exactly right.

From link:

This book is called "the scroll of life" because Jehovah God will grant everlasting life to those whose names are written in it.

That’s called the Lamb’s Book of Life.

I have a thought...... if the bible says (according to different translatians) that gods name is jah, jehovah, yahweh and the rest maybe its not really emphasising the actual name just the fact that if you believe you should pray to him and hell get the message anyway. (much like I am known as MUM, aunty, miss....., the householder at .... etc) understand? what do you reckon?

That is actually very close to my understanding of the Jewish point of view of the matter.

much better to put back the one that rightly belongs there., taking the name of God out of the bible only makes problems . that would be robbing God

[greymare]

taking the name of God out of the bible is hiding it from view that is why Jehovahs witnesses have put the name back in where it rightly belongs.

he wants people to know his name, but it was replaced by a title instead. LORD instead of his name Jehovah . the old king james bible did at least have it in a few places ,even though they had removed it from most of the verses, but now in the new king james version ,they have even removed it in all places.PSALM 83 ;18 in the older version tells us Gods name ,but in the newer version it is removed

I reckon if I call out "Abba", and can't get any other word out but groans, the Holy Spirit will interpret my needs (that is biblical), and the Father will know...
