Do you feel uncomfortable addressing the Messiah by his name?

I consider God and Jesus to be the same person. I have no difficulty calling Jesus by name.Do you feel uncomfortable addressing the Messiah by his name?
Ps 83:18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.
What does the name Jehovah mean to you? Is this the first time you have heard God's name, or read it in the Bible? Many have become Christians simply by hearing that name as it is the most powerful name in the Universe, and the most recorded name in the Bible.
I consider God and Jesus to be the same person. I have no difficulty calling Jesus by name.
Perhaps it's a Trinity thing for me: I'm comfortable addressing Jesus by name, but not comfortable addressing our Father in heaven by his name.
I believe Jehovah, the Father alone, is God; Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of Jehovah.
Wait a minute!
When Moses asked God his name at the burning bush, God said "I am that I am", implying that he was too big and awesome to have a name disrespectfully slapped on him..

So why did God go on to give him His name sir?

What name exactly?
Quite right Jay. I get fed up with Christians not being taught right so their Christianity is based on proof texts not the whole counsel of God.Ah Robert, perhaps if you had also quoted the other 17 verses of this Psalm, then the context of the 18th verse would become relevant for us today.
The name He gave to Moses was YHWH Drop, which in English is Jehovah and He said that would be His name forever
There is nothing wrong, I don't believe, in calling God "Jesus." However, nowadays, I pray to God the Father.If God and Jesus is the same person then wouldn’t “Jesus” be God’s name?
I don't know why it is. In my younger days I would address Jesus. Nowadays, I address God, the Father.If God and Jesus is the same person then wouldn’t “Jesus” be God’s name?
Our Father in heaven is someone other than Jesus? Someone whose name isn’t “Jesus”?
I don’t call our Father in heaven by his name either when speaking to him. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with addressing him by his name - the Israelites did so on many occasions, prior to the Babylonian captivity - but I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with simply calling him “Father”.
I often use his name when speaking to others about him. I don’t think it’s necessary to, but I also see no reason not to.
I don't think it's about his name. I think it's about who he is - what he has done - what he is doing for us.Yes sir I fully understand that, that is the reason God had 2 Cor 10:4,5 recorded for us. Examine what Jehovah said to Pharaoh at Exodus 9:16 Bob: (Exodus 9:15, 16) . . .For by now I could have thrust my hand out to strike you and your people with a devastating plague, and you would have been wiped out from the earth. 16 But for this very reason I have kept you in existence: to show you my power and to have my name declared in all the earth.
Although you may not know it, calling on God's name is a requirement for salvation Bob Rom 10:13. Who do you think it is who truly does not want you to know and use God's name, Jehovah or satan sir? Believe me if God didn't want us to use His name, He certainly wouldn't have included it more than any other name in His word the Bible.
Yes sir, he made his name known, and stated this: (Matthew 4:10) . . .Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”Did Jesus ever say to call God YHWH / Jehovah?

I dunno which bible version you're using mate, but the vast majority call God "God"..
Matthew 4:10-

Where was it written sir? Do you honestly believe Jesus would alter a verse when quoting it?
Jesus never called God 'Yahveh' or 'Jehovah', he always called him "God", "Father" and "Creator"..
God is too BIG and AWESOME to have a name slapped on him, heck even some angels didn't want to be labelled either-
"Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the Lord, 'What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?'
He replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding" (Judges 13:17-18)
