Jehovah's name first appears in Scripture at Gen 2:4 Rob.
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. (Ex 6)
You make up doctrine contrary to Scripture.
It is interesting that God's name was quite well known among people during the time of Moses, as obviously it was handed down.
And now you obviously make up social history to support your made up doctrine. Yes, it is very interesting indeed.
Clearly Abraham knew it, by what he named the alter.
One of you is lying, Jehovah in Ex 6, or you now. You now of course. Look, you're not doing yourself any good at all by directly contradicting Scripture of God, and trying to tell everyone what 'really' happened.
Truthfully the first five books of the Bible did not exist until after the Exodus
The Scriptures for them were known of God from the beginning, because the Word watched and watches all things come to pass from beginning to end. When He gave those Scriptures into the world is up for debate. If He gave the first books to Moses to write, then so be it. They Scriptures being written into the world perfect and entire is the main thing.
and even though He did not have covenanted people, He did make a covenant with Abraham about his descendants, so the people He was about to release were His people sir.
Don't see how it matters to the point at hand, but yeah, agree.
Whether Jehovah is God or not is an opinion at this time.
Not for me. Jehovah was God in the beginning: the Word. And He made Himself known as Jehovah first to Moses and the children of Israel.
We have differing opinions
The opinion we differ on is your created christ, and Scripture's the true God Jesus Christ.
You posed a leading question about whether Jehovah was God or not, which was never the question. The real question is how the name of the Word was made known as Jehovah, and then made known as Jesus, when the Word was made flesh.
, however the Bible states very clearly that Jehovah is God, I take that as fact sir.
"I would take that as an axiom." (Spock)
You still try to worship a name, not the risen God of Israel now named Jesus.
