God has over 12 names recorded in the Bible!!
Not saying that you're right or wrong, but God gives us only ONE PERSONAL NAME.
all these other so called name or either 1. False Names. 2. Titles as to "WHAT" he is. yes a name can be a "Title", but it's not the PERSONAL NAME. lets understand, "Titles, Appellation, and the Epithet of God". what are these and their differences.
A.
Title: is a prefix or suffix added to someone's name in certain contexts. It may signify either veneration, an official position or a professional or academic qualification
B.
Epithet: any word or phrase applied to a person or thing
to describe an actual or attributed quality.
Holy is an Epithet of the Eternal Spirit, whom we call God. "Holy" is his Character and Spirit is his nature, thus Holy Spirit. for God is "HOLY", and he is a Spirit.
C.
Appellation:
1.
an identifying name or title.
2. the act of naming or giving a title to.
3. a common name, in distinction from a proper name. A common name, or appellative, stands for a whole class, genus, or species of beings, or for universal ideas. Thus, tree is the name of all plants of a particular class; plant and vegetable are names of things that grow out of the earth.
Definition #1. States an “identifying”
name or title but the Appellation is not the proper or personal name.
D.
A proper noun: is a noun that in its primary application refers to a unique entity, such as Rome, Washington, Lake Erie, or Microsoft, as distinguished from a common noun, which usually refers to a class of entities. as vs a common Noun which includes all in a class, or category.
Lets put this in layman’s terms so that everyone can understand. Appellation, Epithet, and Title, are names to identify
what something, or someone is. notice I said “WHAT”, and not “WHO” someone or thing is. understand this, Appellation, Epithet, and Title, are common. these nouns identify “WHAT” someone or thing is. there is a noun that is called the PROPER, or PERSONAL noun that identify “WHO” a person or thing is. that’s the difference. A proper noun usually denotes a single unique entity, but the term proper noun pertains to a word's grammatical properties rather than to its meaning”. example “Eve” means mother of all living. Eve is a proper noun, but the meaning, “mother of all living” is Personallly applied to her. now also note this, Nouns, and proper nouns as well, have many different functions in a sentence. They can act as a subject, an adjective, an adverb, as a direct or indirect object, an appositive, or a subject or object complement. so a name, be it common, or proper can Identify another name.
Lets see this in action, “WHAT” vs “Who” in God name. Exodus 3:13 "And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me,
What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
I AM hath sent me unto you". notice Moses asked, "
what is your name", that is very important. because God Gave Moses exactly what he asked for.
So we see that, "I AM", is a description of
what he is. and only one person carry that
description, so it's emphatic, hence our subject. but, "I AM", and lets be clear, is not a proper, or Personal name, or EVEN a NOUN. "I AM" or "hayah", is an action verb in description of “WHAT” God is. in this case a title, or appellation, which describe what he, (GOD), is or "DO", or his "WORK", "I AM". I Exist, the Eternal ONE, (Saviour, King, redeemer, Comforter, and we can go on and on..). God is a God of Action/Works. so the action here is WHAT God is?, and not WHO God is in name. see Moses asked "
WHAT" is your name, NOT, "
WHO" are you in Name. for
WHO would have revealed his PERSONAL NAME, which God never gave in the OT. and God gave to Moses exactly
what he asked for. nothing more, or nothing less.
WHAT God is, always present, always knowing, and always able, meaning all powerful, all knowing, every where at the same time, that's "WHAT" he is. he have total control of everything. he have the ability to make things happen, hence the almighty.
Now, the million dollar question, how to understand this name?. WHAT is his name, vs WHO is he in Name, that is the question. again, notice the question Moses asked God, "
WHAT IS YOUR NAME". Moses asked, "WHAT", not, "WHO", are you in name. I AM THAT I AM, EHEYEH asher EHEYEH, God replied. this is not God personal name, as to WHO he is, but, I AM THAT I AM, or I AM, is definitely “WHAT” he is.
I will Give one more example so that it seen clearly. if I would ask, "What is the first woman Name?", many would say... "EVE", and you would be in ERROR, why? because I asked "WHAT" is the first woman name.... the correct answer is a "MAN/ADAM", because this is what she is, another MAN, as in Mankind, supportive scripture, Genesis 5:1 "This is the book of the generations
of Adam. In the day that God created
man, in the likeness of God made he him;"Genesis 5:2 "
Male and female created he them; and blessed them,
and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
see it now, the woman is called "ADAM", because that's "
WHAT" she is "ADAM", MANKIND, that what Adam/H120 אָדָם 'adam (aw-dawm') n-m. Means,
ruddy i.e. a human being (
an individual or the species, mankind, etc.).
[from H119]
KJV: X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.
Root(s): H119
so "what" she is, Adam. but "WHO" she is, EVE. see how Titles, Appellation, and the Epithet work now. see these defetions at the beginning of this post.
if I said, Pastor GISMYS_7. pastor is not your Name..... nor is Christ our Lord Jesus last name as in Jesus the Christ, or Jesus Christ.... hope you see it now.
