    Jesus father IS Father God - - -

    SO, What Is God’s Name?

    I Reckon It’s Andy.

    Andy is a good guess but it’s not what the Bible calls God. The Bible has many names for God and they are windows through which His character is seen. The names of God tell us many wonderful things about Him.

    Yahweh

    This is a personal name and not a noun meaning 'God'. The Hebrew had such a reverence for God that he would never dare say the name of Yahweh. In place of the word Yahweh he would substitute the name of 'Lord'. The Hebrew verb 'to be' is the key to the meaning of Yahweh. But the word means more than just the fact that God exists. It has the idea of God being our Redeemer.

    Elohim

    This is the most common name for God found more than 3,100 times in the Old Testament. This is a general term for God which conveyed the idea of the power of God. This term speaks of God as the creator of all that is. Genesis 1:1 Elohim created the sun, moon and stars.

    El Shaddai

    This name for God generally means 'God Almighty'. There could be the element of judgment involved with this name. It conveys the idea of the All Powerful One. Usually the term is used in conjunction with a display of God's power in nature.

    El Elyon

    This name for God means God the Most High. This name conveys the idea of God's rule and sovereignty.

    El Olam

    This name has come to mean the unchanging, eternal God. When the name is applied to God it conveys the idea of His unchangableness. El Olam never changes.

    Jehovah Jireh

    This name means the God who provides or God will see to it. This name points to Christ who is the ultimate Lamb which God provides.

    Adonai

    This divine name translates as Lord. It means master and reflects the attribute of sovereignty. It means that God is the Lord who rules.

    Jehovah

    Definition: The personal name of the only true God. His own self-designation. Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. Jehovah is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, יהוה, which means He Causes to Become. These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH.

    Where is God’s name found in Bible translations that are commonly used today?

    The New English Bible: The name Jehovah appears at Exodus 3:15; 6:3. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24; Ezekiel 48:35. (But if this and other translations use Jehovah in several places, why not be consistent in using it at every place where the Tetragrammaton appears in the Hebrew text?)

    Revised Standard Version: A footnote on Exodus 3:15 says: The word LORD when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH.

    Today’s English Version: A footnote on Exodus 6:3 states: THE LORD: Where the Hebrew text has Yahweh, traditionally transliterated as Jehovah, this translation employs LORD with capital letters, following a usage which is widespread in English versions.

    King James Version: The name Jehovah is found at Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24.

    American Standard Version: The name Jehovah is used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures in this translation, beginning with Genesis 2:4.

    Douay Version: A footnote on Exodus 6:3 says: My name Adonai. The name, which is in the Hebrew text, is that most proper name of God, which signifieth his eternal, self-existing being, (Exod. 3, 14,) which the Jews out of reverence never pronounce; but, instead of it, whenever it occurs in the Bible, they read Adonai, which signifies the Lord; and, therefore, they put the points or vowels, which belong to the name Adonai, to the four letters of that other ineffable name, Jod, He, Vau, He. Hence some moderns have framed the name of Jehovah, unknown to all the ancients, whether Jews or Christians; for the true pronunciation of the name, which is in the Hebrew text, by long disuse is now quite lost. (It is interesting that The Catholic Encyclopedia [1913, Vol. VIII, p. 329] states: Jehovah, the proper name of God in the Old Testament; hence the Jews called it the name by excellence, the great name, the only name.

    The Holy Bible translated by Ronald A. Knox: The name Yahweh is found in footnotes at Exodus 3:14 and 6:3.

    The New American Bible: A footnote on Exodus 3:14 favors the form Yahweh, but the name does not appear in the main text of the translation. In the Saint Joseph Edition, see also the appendix Bible Dictionary under Lord and Yahweh.

    The Jerusalem Bible: The Tetragrammaton is translated Yahweh, starting with its first occurrence, at Genesis 2:4.

    New World Translation: The name Jehovah is used in both the Hebrew and the Christian Greek Scriptures in this translation, appearing 7,210 times.

    An American Translation: At Exodus 3:15 and 6:3 the name Yahweh is used, followed by the LORD in brackets.

    The Bible in Living English, S. T. Byington: The name Jehovah is used throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.

    The Holy Scriptures translated by J. N. Darby: The name Jehovah appears throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, also in many footnotes on Christian Greek Scripture texts, beginning with Matthew 1:20.

    The Emphatic Diaglott, Benjamin Wilson: The name Jehovah is found at Matthew 21:9 and in 17 other places in this translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures.

    The Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text—A New Translation, Jewish Publication Society of America, Max Margolis editor-in-chief: At Exodus 6:3 the Hebrew Tetragrammaton appears in the English text.

    The Holy Bible translated by Robert Young: The name Jehovah is found throughout the Hebrew Scriptures in this literal translation.

    Why do many Bible translations not use the personal name of God or use it only a few times?

    The preface of the Revised Standard Version explains: For two reasons the Committee has returned to the more familiar usage of the King James Version: (1) the word Jehovah does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom he had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church. (Thus their own view of what is appropriate has been relied on as the basis for removing from the Holy Bible the personal name of its Divine Author, whose name appears in the original Hebrew more often than any other name or any title. They admittedly follow the example of the adherents of Judaism, of whom Jesus said: You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition.—Matt. 15:6.)

    Translators who have felt obligated to include the personal name of God at least once or perhaps a few times in the main text, though not doing so every time it appears in Hebrew, have evidently followed the example of William Tyndale, who included the divine name in his translation of the Pentateuch published in 1530, thus breaking with the practice of leaving the name out altogether.

    Was the name Jehovah used by the inspired writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures?

    Jerome, in the fourth century, wrote: Matthew, who is also Levi, and who from a publican came to be an apostle, first of all composed a Gospel of Christ in Judaea in the Hebrew language and characters for the benefit of those of the circumcision who had believed. (De viris inlustribus, chap. III) This Gospel includes 11 direct quotations of portions of the Hebrew Scriptures where the Tetragrammaton is found. There is no reason to believe that Matthew did not quote the passages as they were written in the Hebrew text from which he quoted.

    Other inspired writers who contributed to the contents of the Christian Greek Scriptures quoted hundreds of passages from the Septuagint, a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. Many of these passages included the Hebrew Tetragrammaton right in the Greek text of early copies of the Septuagint. In harmony with Jesus own attitude regarding his Father’s name, Jesus’ disciples would have retained that name in those quotations.—Compare John 17:6, 26.

    God has many names, which are conveniences we use to identify characteristics of God. The name God revealed to Moses is "I Am", or "the One Who Is". Moses was being sent to set the Israelites free from their Egyptian captivity. "Who shall I say sent me?" Moses asked. "I am that I am," said God. "Tell them 'I Am'" has sent you." (See Exodus 3:11ff). In this same section, God calls himself LORD (we use the capitals to indicate this name): Elohim (the Hebrew equivalent of Allah in Arabic, it turns out.) an earlier name that humanity used for God.

    Jesus' earthly legal father was Joseph. Jesus' true father is the "I Am", Jehovah, Yahweh.
