Why do people not use Gods name Jehovah when theres proof that's his name?
537542
becuase the most bible were re-written by some people who called themselves scholars and  thought it is too sacred and that they strictly followed the commandment not to take his name in vain so they reverted to titles such as lord, god and as such.\n\nbut the truth is, are we going to desecrate god's name if we use? even jesus his son, in his model prayer urged us to sanctify his name, so then how can we sanctify it if we are too afraid to use it?\n\nits not becuase you are not one of the Jehovah's Witnesses taht would prohibit you to use his name\n\nanother reason to use his name specially if youre praying, is that it would identify WHICH god you are talking to!! hello!! are you not aware that even satan was called god? god of evil for that matter, that even in rome... a lot of god and goddeses exist!!

Itis not atheist  writing God in that way,\n mostly Jews write God in that fashion. In the old testament the name of God was so Holy to the Jews that they left out the vowels when they wrote it in the hebrew. That way no one could speak the name of God. . That's why some people pronounce the name of God Jehovah and some pronounce it JHWH(pronounced Yaweh). I've also heard it pronounced JA. Since the vowels were left out, nobody knows the real pronounciation. The Jews when they write the name God in english they leave out the vowel 'O' and it is written G-d.

From:  King James Bible\n\nExodus 6:3  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.\n\nPsalms 83:18  That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.\n\nIsaiah 12:2  Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.\n\nIsaiah 26:4  Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:\n\nGod’s reply in Hebrew was: ’Eh·yeh′ ’Asher′ ’Eh·yeh′. Some translations render this as “I AM THAT I AM.” However, it is to be noted that the Hebrew verb ha·yah′, from which the word ’Eh·yeh′ is drawn, does not mean simply “be.” Rather, it means “become,” or “prove to be.” The reference here is not to God’s self-existence but to what he has in mind to become toward others.

Knowing Jehovah God definitely adds meaning to your life. Best of all, we all have access to know Him through the pages of his Word, the Bible. We're able to come to know his personality, his purpose for us, and how we as individuals can come to enjoy an intimate, personal relationship with him. We come to know that God indeed has a personal name, the truth about him and his son Jesus, and that we as puny humans can affect God, making him feel happy or sad. It's an amazing thing to think that we can have an affect like that on the emotions of the Grand Creator, the Universal Sovereign. It gives us a tremendous sense of purpose to know about Jehovah and to continue to get to know him and take in knowledge of him.

Where's the evidence of this preference? Even if he was, he'd never reveal his true identity.\nThen again if he did use his name, no one would believe him.

Even His name has changed! The letter "J" wasn't invented until 1630! Up until then, the letter "Y" was used.\nI keep trying to tell you Christian folks His name wasn't/isn't Jesus. That's simply the anglicized version of His Hebrew name.

God's name is not God that is his title.\n\nYou title may be Mr, Miss, Mrs or even Dr. but you still have a name.\n\nJehovah is God's name in english language like my name Peter is Pedro is Spain or Pierre in France all are valid.\nBut, knowing God’s name Jehovah means learning what that name represents and worshiping the God who possesses it - The True God. His name fittingly means, "He Causes to Become".\n\nJehovah in Psalms 83:18 proves how people really are blinded to bible facts they turn to the teachings of church leaders rather than the bible.\nIt is no different today than it was 2000 years ago.\n\nTo have a close relationship with a friend you use their name and call them by name. Thus if Jehovah God is your friend then use His name. Use God's name Jehovah in prayer in the same way you would use the name of a personal good friend of yours. All false gods have their names but only the True God can be called Jehovah because only Jehovah has the universal right to the name meaning, "He Causes to Become" when you call on Jehovah you are making the distinction.\n\nRomans 10:13 For everyone who calls on the name of God will be saved.

For some Jewish traditions you must never write the name of God or say it, as you must never take his name in vain. For other's it can be disrespect as it is their refusal to say God.

No, it is only Yahshuah, the reason we call it Yahshuah is because the prefix Yah is short for Yahweh, which is the fathers name. And Shua means salvation his sons name means Yahweh or "Yah is salvation"\n\nJews will call his name Yeshua which means "God save" or is salvation. But the Jews remove the name Yah from Yahshua for Ye in Yeshua. So they can't say the divine name of God.  That is why Jesus say he "HaYah(Yah)come in the father name a we receive him not..." but we do not receive his fathers name which is Yah thus Yahshuah\n\nmany believe the "O" in Yahoshuah and "H" suffix are silent. Thus Yahshua is his name, have any question about his name e-mail me i love to talk about his name.

Wow! Talk about strange answers!!!!!\nBelow find a link to our website where you can learn a lot about us.\nIt is true that many condem us for our work for and with God.\nWe are followers of Christ/Jesus , Jehovah's son.

This question has been asked before, and I've answered it a dozen times.  In the Old Testament, the Hebrew is YHWH, it means "I am" (ie., without a name).  For example, Moses asked God what is name was and what he should tell Pharaoh it was.  God replies, "Tell him, I am."  God does not need a name.

What Is God’s Name?\n\n“Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.” (Matthew 6:9) These opening words of the model prayer help us to draw close to God by addressing him as “our Father.” Like a child, who is naturally drawn to a loving and understanding parent, we can approach our heavenly Father confident that he wants to hear us. “O Hearer of prayer,” sang King David, “even to you people of all flesh will come.”—Psalm 65:2.\n\nJesus instructs us to pray for God’s name to be sanctified, or set apart as holy. But what is God’s name? The Bible answers in these words: “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” (Psalm 83:18)\n\nHere we learn that Jesus told us to pray about God’s name. He said to pray that God’s name be sanctified, or treated as holy. \n\n“Father, let your name be sanctified.” Addressing Jehovah as Father is a special privilege of his dedicated servants. As children readily approach a merciful father with any concern, we should spend time in regular dignified and reverential prayer to God. (Psalm 103:13, 14) Our prayers should reflect our concern about the sanctification of Jehovah’s name because we long to see it cleared of all the reproach that has been heaped upon it. Yes, we want Jehovah’s name to be set apart and held as holy, or sacred.—Psalm 5:11; 63:3, 4\n\nThe next words of Jesus’ prayer were: “Hallowed be thy name.” How could one hallow, that is, sanctify, or set apart, the name of God unless one knew it and used it? Over 6,000 times in the “Old Testament,” God is identified by the personal name Jehovah.\n\nThe opening petition immediately puts first things first. It states: “Let your name be sanctified.” (Matthew 6:9) Yes, the sanctification of Jehovah’s name should be of primary concern to us because we love him and hate to see all the reproach that has been heaped upon his name. Satan’s rebellion and his inducing the first human couple to disobey Jehovah God slandered His name by calling into question the way God was exercising his universal sovereignty. (Genesis 3:1-6) Furthermore, through the centuries, Jehovah’s name has been reproached by the shameful acts and teachings of those claiming to represent him.

Why do many Bible translations not use the personal name of God or use it only a few times?\n\nThe preface of the Revised Standard Version explains: “For two reasons the Committee has returned to the more familiar usage of the King James Version: (1) the word ‘Jehovah’ does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom he had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.” (Thus their own view of what is appropriate has been relied on as the basis for removing from the Holy Bible the personal name of its Divine Author, whose name appears in the original Hebrew more often than any other name or any title. They admittedly follow the example of the adherents of Judaism, of whom Jesus said: “You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition.”—Matt. 15:6.)\n\nTranslators who have felt obligated to include the personal name of God at least once or perhaps a few times in the main text, though not doing so every time it appears in Hebrew, have evidently followed the example of William Tyndale, who included the divine name in his translation of the Pentateuch published in 1530, thus breaking with the practice of leaving the name out altogether.\n\nWas the name Jehovah used by the inspired writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures?\n\nJerome, in the fourth century, wrote: “Matthew, who is also Levi, and who from a publican came to be an apostle, first of all composed a Gospel of Christ in Judaea in the Hebrew language and characters for the benefit of those of the circumcision who had believed.” (De viris inlustribus, chap. III) This Gospel includes 11 direct quotations of portions of the Hebrew Scriptures where the Tetragrammaton is found. There is no reason to believe that Matthew did not quote the passages as they were written in the Hebrew text from which he quoted.\n\nOther inspired writers who contributed to the contents of the Christian Greek Scriptures quoted hundreds of passages from the Septuagint, a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. Many of these passages included the Hebrew Tetragrammaton right in the Greek text of early copies of the Septuagint. In harmony with Jesus’ own attitude regarding his Father’s name, Jesus’ disciples would have retained that name in those quotations.—Compare John 17:6, 26.\n\nIn Journal of Biblical Literature, George Howard of the University of Georgia wrote: “We know for a fact that Greek-speaking Jews continued to write ???? within their Greek Scriptures. Moreover, it is most unlikely that early conservative Greek-speaking Jewish Christians varied from this practice. Although in secondary references to God they probably used the words [God] and [Lord], it would have been extremely unusual for them to have dismissed the Tetragram from the biblical text itself. . . . Since the Tetragram was still written in the copies of the Greek Bible which made up the Scriptures of the early church, it is reasonable to believe that the N[ew] T[estament] writers, when quoting from Scripture, preserved the Tetragram within the biblical text. . . . But when it was removed from the Greek O[ld] T[estament], it was also removed from the quotations of the O[ld] T[estament] in the N[ew] T[estament]. Thus somewhere around the beginning of the second century the use of surrogates [substitutes] must have crowded out the Tetragram in both Testaments.”—Vol. 96, No. 1, March 1977, pp. 76, 77.\n\nWhich form of the divine name is correct—Jehovah or Yahweh?\n\nNo human today can be certain how it was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Why not? Biblical Hebrew was originally written with only consonants, no vowels. When the language was in everyday use, readers easily provided the proper vowels. In time, however, the Jews came to have the super

Probably because you call him G-D, call him by his name "Yah" short for Yahweh and he will answer. Calling him G-D could mean any God. He answers to his name, That why he tells it to us over 6,000 times. "whatever you ask in his name he will do"

I am one of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses.  We are more familiarly known as Jehovah's witnesses, but we are Christian as we believe in what Jesus said. Jehovah is God's name.  The Tetragrammaton (There is no font to write the actual 4 lettered name) appears in the original bible text more than 7000 times but has been removed from most translations as it is supersticiously thought to be too holy to utter.  Jesus is God's first and only begotten angelic son, created untold ages before man.\n\nWe believe that man's home, the Earth, is where we were meant to be all along.  The free gift we recieve if we want it is everlasting life on Earth, not in heaven - although some do go there to rule with Jesus as kings and priests.  There are many other things we believe - it's from the Bible, ask one of us for more information.

There will always be people who claim they are doing something in the name of God.  They are not thinking whether or not this is something Jesus would do.  I am sure this is something Jesus would not do.  These people are turning people away from Christ and are giving Christians a bad name.  It angers me to see something like that.  They will have their day when they have to give God an explanation for their actions.

It is true that the Almighty did not say, "Listen, thousands of years from now when a new language called English comes along, they can pronounce my name as 'Jehovah' and that's fine."\n\nInstead, like with any and every personal name, different languages TRANSLATE personal names to fit their lingual tendencies. George becomes "Hor-hey" in Spanish or "Gay-org" in German and no one gets upset.\n\nAs another answer mentions, the same people who get all upset about translating the Hebrew name 'Yahweh' or 'Yehowah' into English as 'Jehovah' have absolutely no such qualms about translating the Hebrew name 'Yeshua' into English as 'Jesus'!\n\nIf you don't like the English translation, no one is telling you that you can't use the Hebrew original of the divine name.
