1 | Why the word "God"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 27209 | ||
Word study ... 'Adonay, 'El, YHVH ... Love Fountain, There are three primary words translated God from the Hebrew. 'Adonay is usaully transalted Lord, 433 of the 434 times. It is translated God once. 'El is the singular form and is usually translated God. It is also translated power. 'Elahh is the plural form and 'elohiym means there are more than two. YHVH or YHWH is the third word. It is also usually translated LORD. I hope this helps, Searcher |

Thanks searcher for your response. I understand the Divine Names and Titles, but my question still is why the word "God"? Where did the word "God" come from and from who? Or how did whoever decide the actual word "God"? Sorry if I was not clear. I hope I am now. Thanks, Love Fountain |

Greetings Love Fountain! There is quite a list of the names of God at http://www.shema.com/names.htm. This website also lists where these names are found in Scripture. I hope this helps! Nolan |

Dear Nolan, Thanks for the website. I still wonder where the word "God", in English ever came from. I wonder what is the first use, in English, and who used it? I think we are using God's name in vain, if we are not still using it the way He said was His name,(i.e. "I Am"). What do you think? But then again His name (YHVH) is unappreciable, including unpronounceable according to the Hebrew dictionaries I have looked at. The Jews at the website you referred me to said we should never try to pronounce or call on His name. This is interesting to me because God says He is the God of love, but some feel we shouldn't pronounce His name and I wonder how that is love? Thanks for your time, Love Fountain |

To find out the date and read the earliest published use of an English word, see the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language. If not at the public library, you should be able to find it at your nearest university library. | ||||||
