1 | Radioman - What did God say in Exo 6:3? | Gen 17:1 | Searcher56 | 78889 | ||
Let us review You quote Ryrie as saying "The name Yahweh WAS KNOWN TO THE PATRIARCHS" . Exodus 6:3 says "and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I DID NOT MAKE KNOWN Myself known to them." (EMPHSIS added) ... so if He DID NOT MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN BY HIS NAME how WAS IT KNOWN TO THE PATRIARCHS?. What did God say in Exodus 6:3? Then we can go on to the Genesis accounts. You are right ... I do conflict with experts, bu not the Bible. |

The name YHWH appears approximately 169 times in the book of Genesis alone. Yet you take the position that no one ever heard of it or used it until the time of Moses (i.e., until the book of Exodus). The name YHWH appears nearly 7,000 times in the OT. Yet you imply that it is just another one of many names and titles. That it has no particular significance. That there is nothing to distinguish it from all the other names and titles of God. God did not announce his name YHWH until Exodus? He announced it to Abram. Genesis 15:7-8 (ESV) And he (God) said to him (Abram), "I am the LORD (Hebrew YHWH) who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." [8] But he said, "O LORD (Hebrew YHWH) GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?" He announced it to Hagar, Sarai's maid. Genesis 16:11 (ESV) And the angel of the Lord said to her, "Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD (Hebrew YHWH) has listened to your affliction." |
