What Scripture, as I am unaware of that. Actually the Bible teaches that salvation is yet a long way off. I guess you can be saved now, but that isn't exactly what the Bible teaches Taken, Mat 24:13.
Does God want us to use His name?

His name differentiates Him from other gods Cassy, same as your name. Jesus used it and made it known, and since we are commanded to teach all the things he commanded, as his disciples we too use it and make it known. How important is it to use it? Romans 10:13

Very good post.
I am thinking of Malachi 3:16 (American Standard Version)
Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name.
At least the ASV was much more honest than most.
Imagine thinking that knowing and using Gods name is "just a small thing", can cause one to not have their name writen in God's book.
It's as though Jehovah is saying, "You don't think my name is important? Wait... Who are you again? What's your name? Uh. Forgot to write it in my book. Sorry." Lol
In fact, I am thinking of a whole lot.
Psalm 9:10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;
For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Proverbs 18:10
The name of Jehovah is a strong tower;
The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Looks like some people won't be safe, when they really need protection.

For what it's worth, you have shown quite a lot of humility. Much more than you may think. Jehovah appreciates you very much for that. Keep it up.

From these scriptures, would you say it matters to God? Forget about us for now, just think from God's point of view... from those scriptures.

It seems to me, Bob is saying God's name is widely accepted in Hebrew, as Yahweh. Gods name is widely known in English as Jehovah.
He speaks English, and so uses the English name Jehovah, but he has no problem with those who prefer to use Yahweh.
I am curious though, why does an English speaking person use a Hebrew name for the most important person in scripture, but use the English name of every other Character? Why not use the Hebrew name for Jeremiah, Jesus, etc.?

Sad but true my brother, satan is very accomplished at what he does.
Thanks much John, I would like to think that all of Jehovah's people display humility, it can be very difficult for sure, and it takes work. It is certainly not normal to us as imperfect humans, but I can say that age helps a great deal, I am 68, man where has the time flown to?

Careful. You may be opening up yourself to almost admitting that you need to keep God's Commandments. All 10 of them
Again, and let it be written on the books of heaven, I do not call my earthly father by his name. and I do not call my heavenly Father by his name. If someone were to ask me what His name was I would say YHWH. But I'm not going to use it in common manner. I think it is highly disrespectful. I really do.
@The Disciple John, you said
We use what we are given. The names in the KJV are the names I use.
I have family that are Hispanic. I don't call them by the English equivalent of their names. I call them what i am given to call them.
And while we are talking about not giving God His right name, you do that in that you do not consider Christ as God. He doesn't get His name. His name is Creator, too.
Matt 18:3, 11, 15.
What is the perspective meaning of “a long way off”?
How long ?
Matt 24:13
Teaches “a man” who Shall ENDURE to THE END, SHALL BE SAVED.
Sure. Have covered that EFFORT of “a man”, ENDURING, ie. Remaining IN BELIEF, to the END of his OWN physical Life, By His “OWN power”....SHALL be Saved.
^ That man lives IN HOPE.
And...??? That Does NOT Apply, to “a man” who has Accepted Jesus’ OFFERING to Become MADE SAVED, and KEPT SAVED...
By the POWER of God...IN that man.
^ That man lives IN Christ, IN ASSURANCE.
I do not “hope”, for what I already HAVE.

Such a glorious passage!
"Thus found in fashion as a man,
All blameless, spotless, pure,
He was obedient unto death,
Sin's judgment to endure."
Yeshua is the Hebrew Name for Jesus. It means "Yahweh [the Lord] is Salvation."
Phil 2:
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
[10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
[11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Glory to God,

There is way more than 10 commandments for us Christians Cassy, as you likely know. We are actually still under obligation to obey 9 of those commandments, the Sabbath is no longer a requirement for Christians, or if we read it wrong, we are in a heap of trouble.
God only has one name maam, Jehovah. That is what your KJV says very clearly Ps 83:18. There are certainly many titles given to many throughout the Bible, Creator is a title. May I ask you if you know what Christ means Cassy?

By golly Taken, I am going to agree with your statement, the day we are both saved, we will in fact be brothers. So I am making the assumption since you made that statement, you must be a male, please correct me if I am in error.
Saved in actuality is short for Salvation. Salvation means receiving the gift of everlasting life. Anointed Christians who are redeemed from the earth receive immortality upon their resurrection when they die. The rest of Christians do not come to life until they are tested by the release of satan after the Millennial rule of Christ Rev 20:5, 7,8. I am not anointed, so it is a millennium away for me sir.
Those who die and have not sinned against the holy spirit will receive a resurrection, but before they receive everlasting life, they have to face the test of the release of satan at the end of the 1k yrs. Do you understand Taken?
Put it to the test Ron, where? I think when you research it you will find that Jesus is actually called Yeshua in Hebrew sir.

Yes His earthly name is Jesus sir. But He is called Yahweh at least three times sir. YOu can even look it up in teh New World Mistranslation , sir!
In the words of the Duke, not hardly. You have yet to show a place, know why you are unable? It is simply not a fact.

I have showed you twice already on other threads, you just refuse to accept them.
But for the third time:
Isaiah 44:6
King James Version
6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
both instances of Lord here are Yahweh in the Hebrew. Two people, Yahweh, King of Israel, and Yahweh of hosts, Yahweh King of Israels redeemer.
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple,” (Isaiah 6:1).
No man may look upon th4e Father and lice- but Isaiah saw Yahweh!
Hosea is a prophecy from Yahweh to Israel, and Yahweh concludes the prophecy by saying this:
15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
When did Yahweh leave heaven? when Jesus became man and though being equal to god emptied Himself!
there are more if you need them.
