    Does God want us to use His name?

    Truth is truth sir, YHWH is in fact used in the original Bible, but since we speak English here, how do translators translate YHWH into English? God's name did not appear in Genesis 1, you were correct by saying Elohim was used, El, translated into English is God, ohim, is plural added to for...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    YHWH in English is Jehovah Adonai in English is Lord, Put it to the test Enoch to see if I am correct. As you stated as well in the KJVersion of the Bible. Why do you suppose they chose to substitute God's name for Adonai?

    Does God want us to use His name?

    John 17 is a prayer from Jesus to God, either making him a lunatic or as his teachings confirm, the son of God. You stated Jesus is God, I agree with Peter who said Jesus is the son of the living God Mat 16:16

    Does God want us to use His name?

    There has always been channels to salvation Marks. True Jehovah is the only one who gives life, however Jesus is a savior as well sir, because Jehovah has put him on His throne, and everyone comes through Jesus to get to God. Jesus has assigned a faithful slave to shepherd his sheep, therefore...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Truth is simply that sir, truth. Clearly you are against Jehovah's witnesses, which of course is fine, your choice. But if you are going to reject one of our teachings, do it with the Bible rather than talking about the Watchtower, which is irrelevant, we are speaking Bible truths, or perhaps we...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Jn 17 Marks, inescapable as you say sir.

    Does God want us to use His name?

    I fully agree Be, God is certainly not God's name, so saying something like God damn, is certainly not taking His name in vein. A good example of taking His name in vein, would be for one:(2 Timothy 3:5) . . .having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power. . .

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Both Jesus and Jehovah share the title Lord Marks. Jesus is never called LORD, as everywhere that occurs in versions of the Bible, the translator chose to replace God's name with the title LORD a clear understanding of that is easily seen at Ps 110:1 which you can see the contrast, the first...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Not at all Tigger, but it is best to understand what is meant by those titles, in which some are applied to Jehovah as well.

    "Apart From Sin"

    To make sure we are understanding the times of the gentiles the same, that was the time period where God's people had no King sitting on Jehovah's throne. It was a time period of 2520 yrs which started in 607 BCE with the removal of Zedekiah, and ended in 1914 with the installation of Jesus as...

    Tradition!

    You quite likely are not applying that to Jesus these words spoken by Jesus correct?: (Matthew 15:6-9) . . .you have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said: 8 ‘This people honor me with their lips, but their...

    Moses entered not the promise land

    I am sorry I misunderstood Vicky. Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant Maam. (Hebrews 8:6) . . .Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry because he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established on better promises. The world uses the...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    In His word to us, God says at Isa 42:8 I am Jehovah. That is my name. Did you know that in the original Bible Jehovah had His name recorded over 7000 times? Most of us are familiar with the Movie the ten commandments, and many of us know some of them, and are familiar with the plagues put upon...

    Salvation : Beginning

    Jehovah does not force anyone to serve Him Be, although few choose to do so Mat 7:14. satan is a powerful force, but he can only influence those who let him, Christians cannot be tempted beyond what they can bear, Jehovah always makes a way out. Sadly sometimes that way out may be death, but...

    FORM OF GODLINESS

    Exactly true Rob. The Bible identifies the true faith beyond any doubt, but in God so doing there are no excuses. God promises to reach all individuals through Jesus' disciples before He brings judgment, but when He has reached an individual His responsibility ends, it is now on the individuals...

    "Apart From Sin"

    Jesus finished off sin sir, however until all things are subjected to Jesus, and Jesus enters in before God and subjects himself and all that was done to God, then it is not finished, it is a different finishing, which is still at least a millennium away. Here is the account Scott: (1...

    Moses entered not the promise land

    I am unaware of Moses being shown the promised land with Christ Vicky, but his being able to lay eyes on the promised land would have confirmed that what God promises will come about. In a way Moses prefigured Jesus, as he was anointed as the head over Jehovah's people, as Jesus is now, or as...

    Tradition!

    Very well thought out explanation of tradition Faith. Some traditions are good some not so good, some even making the word of God invalid, and make us lose favor with God. One tradition that Christians have, the most important tradition which is actually commanded is keeping the passover which...

    "Apart From Sin"

    Great question Scott, no doubt you know what the first part means that Jesus Christ personally ‘carried our sicknesses and bore our pains’ and ‘bore the sins of many. So why then is he recorded as returning without those sins? It is because of the new covenant and for the life-giving blessings...
