1 | I am Who I am in New Testament | John 8:24 | EdB | 234506 | ||
Why do you accept Isaiah 42:8 over Ex 3:15 both places have God's clear proclamation that this is his name. In Ex 3:15 it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In Isaiah 42:8 his name is declared to be Lord or Yahweh. Either one could be considered a name or a title. Tetragrammaton was considered to be the Jew's attempt to write something they were not permitted to write or speak. Much like they do today by using G-d. With the Ex3:15 passage being the most defining and definite there is little doubt of who we speak. |

Hey EdB, That's a good question. I think I accept the Tetragrammaton as THE Divine Name only because I think the Jews did. "A taboo on saying the name (Yahweh) aloud developed in Judaism, and rather than pronounce the written name, other titles were substituted, including Lord" (source: Wikepedia - Tetragrammaton). I've never heard anyone call God by the name of "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob". I have always thought this was a title like the President of the United States. Your question was interesting so I checked if any website might agree with you that this is God's name and not a title and I couldn't find any. If you google "Names of God" I found the BlueLetterBible to give the best explanation of all the names of God. God Bless, Andy |
