What is the meaning of the word Jehovah.
Fabruk:
Hi guys, a couple of weeks ago I posted an topic but I don't think I made it clear.
Thank you for all that replied though.
My question is: Where do I find the meaning of the word Jehovah? According to Strong's definition amongst others is that it means Eternal, Self existing one.
Now, I know who Jehovah is in the OT and as Jesus is Jehovah then it cant mean eternal, right? Because Jesus was begotten of God The Father.
So for argument sake, Where do I find the correct meaning of the word Jehovah?
I would really appreciate any help.
God Bless
And Ray, we are praying for you !!!

When God gave moses the ten commandments He said (you shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.) So what is his name since ( (GOD and LORD) are english titles
Should'nt we be using Gods real name and not titles. This is not a trick question, but i would like to know your thought on this subject. I can't get any preacher to answer me.
Dear Wendy:
The Name of the God of the Old Testament is "Yahweh/Jehovah." Also "I AM WHO I AM."
In the New Testament Jesus never called His Father by any Name, Just "Father." No man has ever seen or heard the voice of God the Father of Jesus Christ, hence the "God" of the Old Testament is the Word or Spokesman for God, Jesus the Christ (John 1:1-3). But, as Jesus and His Father "ARE ONE" (John 10:30), we cannot exclude One from the Other no matter Which is speaking or performing. Listen to my Conference tape from our Nashville Bible Study which should be posted on our Forum by now.
God be with you,
Ray
Peace... Mark

Hi Fabio,
Here is another email that might help.
http://bible-truths.com/email11.htm#Yahshua ----------
I just refuse to get caught up in all this "Sacred Name Society" business.
You used the word, "Messiah" which is an Hebrew word. But the New Testament uses the word "Messia" which is the Greek form of the Hebrew, "messiah." Should we use and speak Greek or Hebrew. But "messiah" means "anointed." "Christ" also means "anointed." Which should we use, Messia or Christ? Should we call our Lord, Yahshua, Messia or Jesus Christ?
And there we have that word "Lord." In the Greek, Lord is "kurios" and it means supreme in authority or Lord. But in Hebrew, Lord is "Yehovah" and it means self-existent, the Jewish national name of God. But in Psalm 113:1 we read,
"Praise ye the Lord, Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the NAME OF THE LORD."
But "Lord" is "Yehovah/Yehwah/Jehovah" in Hebrew, yet you say "Yahweh is the NAME OF GOD" whereas the Scripture says "Praise the name OF the Lord," not "Praise the NAME LORD." Furthermore, Jehovah (YHWH) IS JESUS CHRIST, not God the Father!
Jesus also said that, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Jesus Christ is the "I AM" of the Old Testament. Well, yes, of course, no man has ever seen God the Father, but Moses and others did see and hear "I AM" and "Jehovah." And God told Moses that "I AM" was His name. He told Moses to tell the Children of Israel that God's name is, "I AM."
And so, even those who make a virtual religion out of this Sacred name business have not a clue as that they are talking about.
It is not wrong to call our Lord, "Jesus Christ." Furthermore, the whole world knows Him as Jesus Christ, and they are already confused enough about religion and the Scriptures, that I don't think we need to add one more obstacle to their understanding.
God be with you,
Ray

"Jehovah" comes from "Yahweh" [transliterated from Hebrew]. It means "I exist".

Thank you guys, I really appreciate your help.
Just one more question:
If we can't exclude Jesus from the Father, how do we prove Jesus is not Eternal.
I have read and listen to Nashville conference and I know Jesus was not eternal but then how to I answer when someone asks if The Father and Jesus are one, how come Jesus did not self existed too?
Thanks
