Why did Man give the Creator the name

[Snowdoove]

Blessings & Greetings~

I have been doing some research on, "Why did Man give the Creator the name G-D(GOD)?"

I can't help but wonder why G-D, would give himself the name G-D, unless he wanted to shows us His sense of humor. Since this name backwards spells dog.

Please do not take offense in regards to this question!

Man didn't give that name to Him, He told man that He is God, and besides Him there is no other god. He is the one who wrote it not man, man was just the instrument He used.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

It is my understanding that the OT was written in Hebrew.

The Hebrew letters for G-D's name is Yod-Heh-Vau-Heh (YHVH).

It seems that YHVH cared about His Son's name, Jesus.

Jesus spelled backwards looks like this susej, and isn't another word.

Doesn't it make you wonder why?

The actual name given Him was Yeshua, or Yahshua. But that's putting the Hebrew letters into English letters. I don't know what reading the Hebrew letters backwards would give, if anything.

But if you take G-O-D and spell it backwards, you get "dog," so I'm not sure that palying around with letters like this will tell you anything.

Yes the old testament was inspired by The Holy Spirit and written in Hebrew for Hebrews, and then it was translated by the inspiration of The Holy Spirit into english for the english etc.. So regardless of what it means to the Hebrews, to us English He said that He is God.

His Son,

That is not true. The english is not an "inspired" translation. All the english versions were made by men using the established rules of translation. ALL the versions including the KJV. Some are better than others but all are fallible as they are the work of men. No translation is perfect.

That is why we must look at the original hebrew and greek that underlies our english versions. Any english translation is only as good as it accurately relays the underlying greek or hebrew text.

Furthermore the word "God" is neither hebrew or greek or english. It is probably anglo-saxon or german in origin with some influence from both persian and hindu traditions. The Apostle Paul did not write He is "God" he wrote he is "Theos" a word understood by his Greek readers both gentile and jewish.

Thus we should be asking, why the name "Th--s" ??

Furthermore, even the name Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous, which in turn is the transliteration of the Hebrew Jeshua, or Joshua, or again Jehoshua, meaning "Jehovah is salvation."

Again, the english text is not inspired.

Thus, truly Jesus spelled backwards would be "suosei" again then is no meaning or benefit from doing this.

It would be just as correct to call the Master, Joshua. The bottom line is that He is our salvation and not what translated or untranslated or transliterated name that my english version has written in it.

Actually, come to think of it, "God" is more a title or a description than an actual name, just like "Lord."

Nebula,

True although the etymology of the word "God" is difficult it probably translates into english as "the strong or mighty one."
