1 | I am Who I am in New Testament | John 8:24 | Andy S. | 234495 | ||
Hey EdB, That's why I said the MEANING to the Tetragrammaton! The MEANING to the Tetragrammaton is said to be "I am who I am" which I think is a poor translation. I have had a problem with people calling God "I AM" as well. Look at my other posts for an explanation. You're right, the Tetragrammaton isn't found until verse 15 and 16 translated LORD (all caps) in our Bibles. I would have to respectfully disagree with you that God's name is 'The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob' as I believe this to be a Title. I think the Tetragrammaton (YHWH - Yahweh) translated LORD in our Old Testaments over 6,000 times is actually the name of God. Isaiah 42:8 makes this pretty clear. I hope this helps! God Bless, Andy |

2 | 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 |
