1 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 112328 | ||
Greetings EdB! Someone knew how to pronounce it at one time. Yet, none of the early writtings in Hebrew had any vowels at all. It wasn't until later that they included vowel points (symbols which helped in pronuciation). Yet, the did not include the vowel points with YHWH. Instead, they added the vowels from Adonay. So, no one today 'remembers' how YHWH was originally said. My point all along has been simple. Jesus 'translated' YHWH as 'Lord' in the New Testament, so we can as well. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | EdB | 112343 | ||
Tim I agree! Jesus also taught us to call Him Father, in fact Abba is closer to our "Daddy". I don't refer to my father as Dick I call him dad or father. I think when we need to cultivate an inmate relationship with God and I prefer to call Him as Jesus taught us Father. That is a main distinction between Christianity and other religions the ability to have an inmate loving relationship with our God. YHWH is impossible for us to say and seems so rigid and distant and maybe even a little legalistic. Yahweh in all its combinations a made up name that to me has little or no meaning. EdB |
