God goes by many names in the Bible to reveal His character.Like Almighty,All-Sufficient God which is translated from the original hebrew word EL-SHADDAI used in Genesis 17:1,2. Or, Adonai which is the Hebrew word used in Due.3:24 which means Lord and Master.Jehovah which is the English translation of Yahweh, was used for God's personal name by the Jews because of the warning in Exodus 20:7,they believed it was wrong to speak this most holy name and substituted Adonai as Jehovah.In the NT testament Jesus does not make mention of this as something that his followers must say in order to address our God .Jesus and his followers address Him as Abba which in english means Father.(Mark 14:36,Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6,) In Matthew 6:9 when the disciples ask Jesus how to pray,He tells them to address God as "Our Father.." | ||||||

One of the main reasons for the Almighty God giving his name so that we seperate him from all the false gods. He instucted it to be written almost 7000 times in the original hebrew scriptures. For what? to have man rip it out becase of their beliefs and to satisfy their own tastes? It was given for a reason. In Psalm 34:3 worshipers of Jehovah were exhorted: O magnify Jehovah with me, you people, and let us exhalt his name together." The titles such as Adhonai and Lord or Sovereign Lord were put in place of God's name by Bible translators following Orthodox Jewish traditions, The Pharisees the preservers of the Orthodox Jews tradition rejected Jesus and were told by him: "You make the word of God invalid because of your traditions!" Are we suppose to believe Jesus never spoke of his Fathers name in the New Testament? Jesus stood up in a synagogue and read a portion of the scroll of Isaiah. The section he read is what we today call Isaiah 61:1,2 where God's name appears more than once.[Luke 4:16-21]Would he have refused to pronounce the divine name there, substituting "Lord' or "God"? Of course not. That would have meant following the unscriptural tradition of the Jewish religious leaders, rather, we read, :"He was teaching them as a person having authority, and not as their scribes." Math 7:29. He taught his followers to pray to God: "Let your name be sanctified". [Math 6:9] And in prayer on the night of his execution, he said to his father: "I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world...Holy Father, watch over them on the account of your own name which you have given me [John 17:6,11] |
