God's name- Jehovah?

<< < (2/3) > >>

River:
I hear you. Lots of learning and living to do that is for sure. I relate with what your saying and I too await the unfolding of it all.

Revilonivek:
Is Yahweh God's name???!!

Look up Isaiah 42:8, Amos5:8 psalms 124:8 and many others. Notice the capitalizations?



What if bible translators didn't want to write down his actual name so they used Lord instead?

Thoughts?

Ah, not sure if it will help, but...

Rotherham states in his preface of the Bible: "Erroneously written and pronounced Jehovah, which is merely a combination of the sacred Tetragrammaton and the vowels in the Hebrew word for Lord, substituted by the Jews for JHVH, because they shrank from pronouncing The Name, owing to an old misconception of the two passages, Ex. 20:7 and Lev. 24:16...To give the name JHVH the vowels of the word for Lord [Heb. Adonai], is about as hybrid a combination as it would be to spell the name Germany with the vowels in the name Portugal - viz., Gormuna. The monstrous combination Jehovah is not older than about 1520 A.D."

From Douglas Larson:
"'Jehovah' originated through translators squishing the vowels of 'Adonai' (Lord) into the Tetragrammaton, YHWH. In most Bibles the Tetragrammaton, which occurs thousands of times in the Old Testament, is simply replaced with the Word 'Lord,' and in the King James Version the word 'Lord' is written in all capital letters: 'LORD,' or in small-cap capital letters."

So you are correct in your assessment. ^^
