shyamuraix, I believe you in your premise that the ORIGIN of the WORD 'yahweh' refers to a Sumerian diety, and am not contesting that point. However, what you seem to willingly overlook is the FACT that language changes, cultural exchanges and appropriations abound, and the roots of words may be traced to one thing but the usage of them evolves in many cases. Not just in English but in every language created by man.
This is a mute point, as many Christians and Jews refer to God the Father as 'Yahweh". Perhaps it is the incorrect version in your eyes, and even historically inaccurate. But the incontrovertible fact my friend is that it does no harm and I sincerely doubt God HIMself minds, as HE is ALL of our creator.
Finally shyamuraix, your premise that the 'Jews" own/control all the media and information dissemination is blatantly racist and patently unfactual. I am surprised that any educated person such as yourself would espouse such ridiculous bigotry. As sentient humans we should be beyond such racial slurs!
Be well shymuriax, and I'll pray for you as I ask you to do for me. God, no matter what we call HIM, loves us all!

The focus should be on Gen. 1:1 and Exo. 3:14,
because belief in Being/the Creator is kerygmatic/salvific.

My typo. I am not saying elohim means boss, manager....
hahaha, i thought that sounded a bit off..

it's all good man.

you cool Mr.Churchgoer..

But I do suggest you pray to The LORD to give you more understanding of the Scriptures.

It's deep! And your faith will grow even stronger once you understand The Word better.

The Bible is like no other book in this world.. It is divine.. It speaks TO YOU.

But you gotta know how to listen thooo..

yeah Larry's by far the biggest clown to grace this thread..

I dont interfere in issues I do not understand or have not looked into, I wish more people were like this..

Oh well, wishful thinking!
 
Please, don't pray for me.. Pray for Israel and move there, since you love Joos so much! :ROFL:
If pray for Israel, please pray for their return to true God, Jesus. Bless them with true blessings from Jesus.
Please don't curse them to worship golden calf, idols, baal, immorality, murdering, .....
Please only bless them, as Jesus.

I pray God protects those that are His, they are in ALL nations.

Nothing is going to stop the end of the world. It is written, the works were done before the foundation of the earth. God knows the beginning from the end and even has a book about it. His word is pure or it's not of God.

I don't know bro.. based on the symbol of the flag they have chosen for their county, I don't think they want to return to God..

They have chosen to be the enemies of God..

But it's a great cover eh? To pretend to be the people of God..

Amen to that..

Not everyone is getting saved.

Even I probably won't be.. But at least I know and worship the One True God..

And i myself know that i am worthy of destruction..

I'd rather burn in Hell worshipping The True God if he condemns me there, than to worship any other 'god'!

I understand. God bless you brother, I have NO BUSINESS walking down any of His streets, nor wear a white robe. I'm filth, but He threw me on my back and saved me. Henceforth my signature. When I read God grants repentance, I won't argue with that. I did nothing but know who wrote the book I was reading.

oh yeah.. same here..

i never felt any guilt or bad for anything i did.. until i read The Bible..

The Words of God pierced through my soul, and convicted me, even before i became a believer..

Then i realized, how great were my sins, and i have sinned against God.. then fear took over me..

Don't get me wrong, im still evil and wicked and vile, but at least i now have a compass and feel guilt and understand my wrong doings..

No amount of wisdom from any other book or subject has had this effect on me.. This is how I know The LORD God, He is God..

This is a GREAT GOD.. The ONLY GOD worthy of worship.. Truly, there is None like Him!

Imagine how great is His mercy, that anyone who seeks Him can know Him.. but you must seek Him with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind..

Do not for one second think that I do not worship or bow down to Jesus Christ, because when I speak of The LORD God, to me He is the same as Jesus Christ.. I just thought it was important to make that clear.

Jesus Christ is The LORD God come in the flesh.. but i believe when He is back on His throne, He is God Almighty, The One the angels worship in heaven.

John 8
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

i was looking for the True God, and denying Jesus Christ very early on.. Then it hit me like a hammer..

(John 6:45) It is written in the prophets, "And they shall be all taught of God." Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

Jesus Christ is the re-direct link to God Almighty :D

That's good on you Aaron, but please take your testimony elsewhere, as I mentioned earlier, the topic in discussion is :

Why do people keep calling The LORD 'Yahweh'?​

If you don't want to discuss or 'squabble', STAY OUT OF THIS FORUM AND MY POST.

I didnt create this thread for people to come and preach to me or tell me about their opinions on unrelated matters.

Alright peace on earth and goodwill to all men.​


No, it's actually good on all who call on the Lord. We receive grace from the same source: the Lord Jesus Christ.

It also neuters the doubt you're sowing with your pet project: as if the Lord is far away from some because of their phonetics and dialect. You would make worshiping God into a religion only few know how to access. It's petty instruction from an immature believer at best.

Again Aaron, you don't speak English?

You're deviating from the subject.

The subject is not phonetics or dialect or worshipping God or any instruction..

The subject is WHY ARE PEOPLE EQUATING YEHOVAH to Yahweh, a pagan deity.

If you still don't get it at this point, you must be retarded or purposely trying to go against me because you don't understand the subject and cannot agree with me.

STOP CRYING HABIBI!
 
Amen to that..

You're nutso! (John 3:16)
