Well, my question is - why does the New Testament uses the "Lord" and has never used the word YHWH?
If we agree that the New Testament is inspired by God... why would He allow such error, if it is so important?
He uses the word Jesus to indicate savoir rather than to word Jehovah which means the same attribute of the Lord as our Savior. Jesus denoting savior and Christ the anointing Holy Spirit of God. They are not used differently .Christ uses Jehovah as the same savoir.
No secret names or handshakes, Christians are a new creation having nothing to do with the flesh of any man .
God has no name needed to tell him apart from the creatures to include the administering spirits that have no form, not made from the dust .
God is not in competition with His creation and has a secret name .He is not a man as us. He is God like no other savior.
Names as invisible powers are attributes of God as His immutable authority. Jehovah simply means mighty savior.
No secret names .
The phrase: I have manifested Your Name, written throughout the scriptures simply means I have given them your authority to believe. That authority alone is JEHOVAH for he who dwells in men has become the one source of salvation. Words in the scriptures have meanings attached to them .
Psalms 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name "alone isJEHOVAH", art the most high over all the earth.
Isaiah 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.

"Our Father who are in heavens" seems to be a good identification of the right God, too.
This is how our Lord taught us.
I was not asking about the name of Jesus, but why does NT uses the word "Lord" for God when quoting the OT texts. Why not YHWH...
It just seems to me that the apostles/The Holy Spirit did not have any problem with not using YHWH. So why should we?
My bible follows neither, It follows the torah of God.. which started in Genesis, and ended with revelation.
Removing His name is a sin (if you say the Law is done away it "was" a sin at that time):
Exodus 20:7, "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain." NASB
The word vain is the Hebrew word shav meaning: emptiness, vanity. Is it possible that removing YHWH's name and replacing it with "the Lord" is making it empty?
Exodus 20:7, ""You shall not take the name of YHWH your God in vain, for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." WEB
Exodus 20:7, "You shall not take the Name of YHWH your strength to bring it to nothing, for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who brings it to nothing."
Psalm 199:55, "We remember Your Name in the night, O YHWH, and we keep Your Law."

Psalm 22:22, "I will declare Your Name to My brothers! In the midst of the congregation I will give You praise!"
and it was prophesied:
Yeremyah 23:26-27, "How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Yes, they are prophets of the deceit of their own minds; Who devise; plan and scheme, to cause My people to forget My Name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, just as their fathers have forgotten My Name for Baal (Lord)."
BAAL (DEITY) [Hebrew - baal] . Canaanite storm and fertility god. The name, which means “lord, ” is an epithet of the god Hadad (lit. “thunderer” ). Well-known from the OT, he is now extremely well-attested in the Ugaritic texts, in addition to being mentioned in other ancient texts. (Freedman, David Noel: The Anchor Bible Dictionary. New York : Doubleday, 1996, c1992, S. 1:546)
BA´AL (ba'al; Heb. baal, “lord, possessor”).
1. A common name for god among the Phoenicians; also the name of their chief male god. See Gods, False.
(Unger, Merrill Frederick ; Harrison, R. K. ; Vos, Howard Frederic ; Barber, Cyril J. ; Unger, Merrill Frederick: The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Rev. and updated ed. Chicago : Moody Press, 1988)
Baal (Heb. baal) DEITY
The Canaanite storm- and fertility-god. As an epithet for various West Semitic deities, especially Hadad, the name means “lord,” designating a legal state of ownership or social superiority. With the obvious exception of YHWH, Baal is the most significant deity in the OT. (Freedman, David Noel ; Myers, Allen C. ; Beck, Astrid B.: Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible. Grand Rapids, Mich. : W.B. Eerdmans, 2000)
BAAL [BAY uhl] (lord, master) — the name of one or more false gods, a place, and two people in the Old Testament:
1. A fertility and nature god of the Canaanites and Phoenicians. Also see Gods, Pagan.
(Youngblood, Ronald F. ; Bruce, F. F. ; Harrison, R. K. ; Thomas Nelson Publishers: Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary. Nashville : T. Nelson, 1995)
Hosheyah 2:16-17, "And it will be in that day, says YHWH: that you will call Me Ishi; (My Husband), and will no longer call Me Baali; (My Lord). For I will take away the names of Baalim (1168 - Ba'al) out of her mouth, and their names will no longer be called upon!"
My bible follows neither, It follows the torah of God.. which started in Genesis, and ended with revelation.
But do most translations really follow YHWH's Instructions, if He commanded His name "not to be made empty" and His name is removed, does that not directly go against His word?
No, it is not.YHWH is used a single time in Corinthians, 1 or 2 I don't remember.
He did say that and I personally love calling Him Father also. But Yahshua/Jesus did also use His name:
Yahchanan (John) 17:6, "I have manifested Your Name to the men that You gave Me out of the world. They were yours, and You gave them to Me; and they have kept Your word."
Yahchanan (John) 5:43, "I have come in My Father's Name, but you do not follow Me. Let another come in his own name; him you will follow."
Mattithyah 23:39, "For I say to you: From this moment you will not see Me, until you say: Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of YHWH!"
I agree. We simply have grown up with it not in our translations, so we are used to not using it, by way of Jewish custom....
No, it is not.
I dont see any use of YHWH there.
You wrote it wrong. The right reading is:
"For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
I was not talking about any translation but about the texts the apostles/The Holy Spirit made - The Greek New Testament.
