What does mine say? You want to digress? Umeshindwa na Exodus 6:3? Umeshindwa na Gen 2:4?

The question is: is Jehova a name that God revealed for Himself to man or is it a name given by man to God? Or is yahwe or yhwh a name revealed by God or is it a name given by man to God?

This is what I'm asking you.

For example: I can ask you: what is your name? And you say: Symbols.
So I say we will just call you babu, for example. Whether you like this name or not we just call you babu. So why did i ask you your name in the first place if it did not matter to me what your name was. I was going to "baptize" you anyway.

My conclusion: neither JEHOVAH nor YAHWE nor YHWH was a name revealed by God to man. These were names given by man to God.

In the Qur'an, God tells us he had revealed His Name to Musa: ALLAH. And this name was known since the time of Adam and always through all other prophets.

Out of complete arrogance and indifference, the writers of the Bible changed this name to LORD, YHWH, YAHWE and then JEHOVAH

Since non of the references you've provided does not say God said his name is YAHWEH, let me give you evidence why this name was given by man to God.

Did you know that Jehova is NOT A HEBREW WORD? Jehova comes from GREEK. And surely Musa and the Israelis did not speak Greek.

You are swallowing a biblical lie hook line and sinker. I wish you would just open your eyes and reflect on these issues.

What language do you want to have this discussion in? Don't you understand English?

These are the facts, you cannot dispute these:
1. Jehova is NOT A HEBREW WORD
2. Jehova comes from GREEK
3. Musa, Jesus and all the Israelis did not speak Greek

The truth is the Name was and is ALLAH. Whether in Hebrew, Arabic, English or Greek the name remains the same: ALLAH.

It is the Bible writers, who introduced descriptions instead of the name: ALLAH so that their followers may not know the truth.

Thank you for not disputing the facts. The people reading in Wazua are not foolish. They understand and can see.

Now, as far as Bible is concerned, the writer, the compilers are not known. So how can we be sure where the info contained therein came from? There is no gospel of Jesus. There is no gospel of his disciples of Jesus. There is just a group of unidentified people who put words together and the readers like you claim these are the words of God.

Have you noticed that none of the books says it is revelation or inspiration from God? None of the books begins with "In the Name of God"? So who wrote the books? Or who put them together? Who chose which gospel should be included and which should be rejected????

Endless questions whose reply can only be: may be or may be not!!

The Quran on the other hand identifies itself in the beginning. It says:
"This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are humble and who seek the truth, who believe in the unseen and perform prayer and spend out of that We have given them."

What baseless thing have i churned? Isn't you who churned out about 6 items? I'm only handling one of of them: your claim that YAHWEH is name of God.

And I've humbly asked you to show us where God said my name is YahWeh. All you could do is churn out a link.

I'm telling you, the name YAHWEH was coined by men. Musa, Jesus and all other prophets never used that name to refer to God. Even you yourself accepted just now that YAHWEH/Jehovah came from Greek, and none of the prophets of God spoke Greek!! Now show me how that is baseless claim!

Why aren't Socrates or Plato or Aristotle prophets of God? And they spoke Greek!

@symbol, in your post #87, you said you're NOT disputing the facts below:
1. Jehova is NOT A HEBREW WORD
2. Jehova comes from GREEK
3. Musa, Jesus and all the Israelis did not speak Greek

So I told you whether in Hebrew, Arabic, English or Greek the name remains the same.

Then I told you it is the Bible writers, who introduced descriptions YAHWEH instead of the true name so that their followers may not know the truth.

So as you can see there was no such name as YAHWEH or JEHOVAH in HEBREW, or ARAMAIC the language of Jesus, you realize that the Bible scholars have put their own things in the Bible.

In fact, Jeremiah 8:8 Says bible has become "lies from the pen of the scribes has made it into falsehood".

Also I just told you that no chapter, no book in the bible starts with: in the name of God. How then would you expect us to believe that YAHWEH is name of God? Just think about this.

Moses is the name of Moses when he was alive.
Jesus is the name of Messiah which is his original title in Hebrew/Aramaic/Arabic. But with the same sickness of translating names, they translated to Christos in Greek, then later to Christ in English.

But YHWH was coined in Greek. It is not a name revealed by God to man. It is a name man gave to God.

As regards changes of names from one language to another. Does your name change from one language to another? So why should the name of ALLAH or even Jesus for that matter change?

Names do not change from one language to another. Only descriptions do. Like Lord into Bwana and so on. But names do not change. When you travel to China, you will be called Symbols, and you will access Wazua not "Yazua".

"Toyota" is the NAME of a car in Japanese. Can you give me the swahili or english version of "TOYOTA"?

If the name of a simple man made creation does not change from one language to another, why should the name of the ULTIMATE CREATOR change from one language to another?

So what would Kamau be in swahili? Or in english?

It is completely uncommon for names to change from one language to another except where Bible is concerned. Bible is the only exception!! Does that ring a bell? It simply means that they have sinister motives in doing so. Another example, Mr smith. What would you call him in swahili? Smithi?

Interesting stuffs.
Where did God/ Yahweh/Lord /Allah etc come from. ?? Who created him ??

When and how did humankind first realize or recognize God?
