1 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | Boris Cat | 112268 | ||
Most English Bibles translate God's name (YHWH - Strong's 3068) as LORD. Some use Jehovah, and a few use Yahweh. Bible scholars say Jehovah is incorrect and the correct pronunciation is not known for sure. We know that there is no "J" or "J" sound in Hebrew. My question: Since "LORD" is not God's name, and Yahweh is the best guess, Why don't more Bibles and people address God as Yahweh? | ||||||
2 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 112296 | ||
Greetings Boris Cat! My way of answering this question is to look at what Jesus Himself did when He quoted passages from the Old Testament containing the Tetragrammaton. For instance, look at Luke 4:18-19. Here Jesus is quoting Is. 61:1-2, a passage where YHWH is used. Luke, writting under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit translates YHWH in v. 19 as 'kurios' or 'Lord'. So, if Jesus was comfortable saying 'Lord' instead of YHWH, I am as well. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello Tim, Please answer why we have in our Bible according to Revelation 1:1 a revelation from God himself that he gave to Jesus while in heaven, where it tells us to praise "Jah" which is a transliteration of the Hebrew expression haleluYah´, appearing 24 times in the Hebrew Scriptures but now in the Greek Scriptures with the Greek form of it appearing four times at Revelation 19:1-6? So if the Bible uses it shouldn't we? Tara1 |

Greetings Tara1! I have no problem with using the word 'Hallelujah'. However, the word 'YHWH' never appears in the New Testament. Jesus Himself uses the term 'Kurios' instead of 'YHWH'. So, if the Bible uses it, shouldn't we? ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
