The ONE TRUE GOD has only ONE NAME----JEHOVAH. | ||||||

Sisterkath: If "The ONE TRUE GOD has only ONE NAME----JEHOVAH," then can you tell us to whom was Jesus praying in Mark 14:36 when he said, "Abba, Father..."? Or of whom was Paul speaking in Rom. 8:15: "...we cry, Abba, Father"? Jesus instructed his disciples to pray, "Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." (Matt. 6:9). Why, Sisterkath, why "Abba" and why "Our Father" if God properly can be called only "Jehovah"? And even the name "Jehovah" is not really a name at all, only a hybrid of the tetragrammaton YHWH. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, I agree with you. The truth is, nobody knows for sure how the name of God was originally pronounced. Nevertheless, many prefer the pronunciation Jehovah. Awabakal - Yehoa Bugotu - Jihova Cantonese - Yehwowah Danish - Jehova Dutch - Jehovah Efik - Jehovah English - Jehovah Finnish - Jehova French - Jehovah Futuna - Ihova German - Jehova Hungarian - Jehova Igbo - Jehova Italian - Geova Japanese - Ehoba Narrinyeri - Jehovah And the list can go on. Even though the modern pronunciation Jehovah might not be exactly the way it was pronounced originally, this in no way detracts from the importance of the name. It identifies the Creator, the living God, the Most High to whom Jesus said: "Our Father in the Heaven, let your name be sanctified." Matthew 6:9 |

Hi sisterkath, The Matthew 6:9 passage is the disciple's prayer. Matthew 6:9, "Pray then in this way: "Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy/ name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven." [For (Thine) is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.] John 17:1 is the prayer of Jesus. "Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy (Son)..." The parentheses are mine for verse and pronoun comparisons. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit glorified each other because God/ is one (God).

Hi sisterkath, P.S. You believe there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. But take a look at James 2:19. James 2:19, "You believe that God/ is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder." ...23 "and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness," and he was called the friend of God.'"...James 3:8, "But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our (Lord) and Father; and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way." Consider also Mark 12:37, NKJ, "Therefore, David himself calls Him 'Lord'/; how is He then his Son?" And the common people heard (Him) gladly." Again, the parenthesis and slash mark are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

Hi sisterkath, P.S.S, James 3:9, New World Translation, "With it we bless Jehovah, even [the] Father, and yet with it we curse men who have come into existence "in the likeness of God". 10 Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing." Although we have great differences I hope that we can continue to talk under peaceful conditions. James 3:18. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, I agree, I don't see why we can't talk under peaceful conditions. Did I say anything "out of the way"? May I ask, just what are you trying to tell me? We are all guilty before God; and those who vaunt it over the frailties and infirmities of others little think how many things they offend in themselves. Let us learn to be severe in judging ourselves, but charitable in our judgments of other people. Matthew Henry's sisterkath |

Hi sisterkath, I didn't mean to infer that we weren't on good speaking terms or having an arguement in any way. I simply chose to use words from the NWT in the James 3:18 verse that I referenced. We are here on the forum "making peace" aren't we? James 3:18, NWT, "Moreover, the fruit of righteousness has its seed sown under peaceful conditions for those who are making peace." But yes we do have our differences; and let me speak to your choice, also, of words for I have an interest in capitalization.:) You said: "Did I say anything "out of the way"?" I choose to capitalize "the Way, the Truth, and the Life", because it speaks to the Deity of Christ; but your church denies that fact. In a post somewhere in the past, I have expressed that we can learn from your members' dedication to their fellowship, their willingness to serve, and time spent studying the Scriptures. But I guess what I would try to tell you is that many of you are not "making peace" but are introducing seeds of discord and strife, and seeds of untruth in a place where we are expecting "peaceful conditions".
