[Snow4JC]

A friend of a friend of mine was telling me that the only name I should use in prayer is "Jesus."

His name is so powerful that no other name is necessary.

I notice that in the NT Books. The last verses of each book have a Blessing from the writer of that book.

Jude 2: 25 - All glory to him who alone is GOD, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord ...

The NT writers liked to add the Christ to His name.

Must be the change in times.

[Guest evechot]

No doubt everyone whom you know has a name. God also has a personal name to set him apart from all others. Is not "God" his name? some may ask. No, for "God" is merely a title, just as "President, King, Judge" are titles. We can learn God's name from the Bible, where it appears about 7,000 times in the original text. For example, in the KJV, Psalm 83:18.

Some persons are surprised to see God's name in their Bible. This often is because their Bible is one that seldom uses God's name. The KJV, for example, uses the "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" by itself only at Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18, and Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4. However, when this Bible translates God's name by the title "Lord and God", it always puts this title in capital letters, as "LORD". Note this at Psalm 110:1

But, why, you may ask, "is God's name not used in every place that it occurs in the original Bible text? Whay are the titles Lord and God generally used in its place? In its preface the "American Standard Version" explains why it uses God's name Jehovah or Yahweh, and why for a long time that name was not used. "The American Revisers", after a careful consideration, were brought to the 'unanimous" conviction that a Jewish "Superstition", which regarded the Divine Name as too "sacred" to be uttered, ought to longer to dominate in the English Bible. [God name is found in other languages] This personal name, with its wealth of sacred association, is now being removed form our Bibles.

Yes, as the Catholic Bible says, God's name does appear in the Hebrew text. Hebrew being the language in which the first 39 books of the Bible were written. The name is represented there by four Hebrew letters, "YHWH". In ancient times the Hebrew language was written without 'vowels', letters such as a,e,i,o,and u. which help us to give the proper sound to words, "Y[a]HW[e]H". Therefore, the problem today is that we have no way of knowing exactly which vowels the Hebrew used along with the consanants YHWH.

To help us to understand the problem, consider the word "building". Suppose that in began always to be written "bldg", would a person living 2,000 years from now know how to pronounce "bldg" when he saw it in writing? Since he had never heard it pronounced and did not know what the vowels were in the word, he would not know for sure. It is similar with God's name. It is not known exactly how it was pronounced, even though some scholars think it was "Yahweh" is correct. However, the form "Jehovah" has been in use for many centuries and in most widely known.

Keith,

the names of God you provided is definately broader than any that I have ever seen.

But just like others that I have seen, Jesus is clearly portrayed in every name of God.
