How then does this part "by the name YHWH was I not known to them" make sense?
God does not say things without meaning. They have prayed to Him saying El Shaddai and not saying the word "YHWH" as the verse says.
Else the verse has no meaning at all.
The previous books have been translated into Hebrew.
Abraham apparently didnt speak in Hebrew but the books have been written by Moses, who did, so he substituted the words Abraham used for YHWH. Else the verse is lying.

So the text is not an accurate account but rather words have been supplied and added?

So they just went in and added YHWH 6000+ times?

That is impossible if you consider the "ELS"

Equidistant Letter Sequence

you see

in Genesis and Exodus if you count every 15 letters (if I remember right) it spells TORAH over and over perfectly throughout the entire 2 books.

Then in you count every 15 letter but backwards in Numbers and Deuteronomy it spells TORAH over and over perfectly throughout the entire 2 books.

Then go to the book between those, Leviticus and count every 7th letter, it spells YHWH over and over throughout the entire book, perfectly.

AMAZING!

Psalm 22:22, "I will declare Your Name to My brothers! In the midst of the congregation I will give You praise!"
 
Hizi is right...

The very oldest Scriptural text ever found, dating back almost 2,600 years, was found in a tiny silver amulet which contains a seventh century b.c.e. extract from the book of Numbers (6:24-26), the Priestly (Aaronic) Blessing. The rolled up amulet was part of a treasure hoard found by a Tel Aviv University archeologist in a First Temple Period family tomb in Yerusalem, Israyl. When this amulet was written, the Temple of Solomon still stood, the heirs of King David still ruled on the throne, and the Dead Sea Scrolls would not be written for another 400 years.



It was three years after this discovery before this fragile amulet could be unrolled by technical experts at the Israyl Museum. On this amulet the NAME of YAHWEH could be clearly read.

and you would expect anything different from a hebrew text?

come on people. lets get serious now. this is getting rediculous.


it would be like 2000 years from now. The only biblical texts anyone could find was written in english. People would be saying Gods name is Lord. and the greeks would be screaming, no that was just an english translation of what was origionaly written.

Yet the people were to proud to say yeah your right, Instead they say the oldest known text says lord. so I am right you are wrong.
 
Does it really matter what we call him?
To me I call him Father, Teacher, Savior, and Jesus :)
 
false. it was written for all of us that truly seek the Creator.

Romans 15:4, "For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope."

1 Corinthians 10:11, "Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come."

lol. yes. but it was first written to the hebrew people. thats why it was written in hebrew, the NT was written to the greek people. thus most of it was written in greek.

Your arguments are flawed to the point of being laughable if it was not so tragic.

No, it does not.

Unless you need some brownie points to help you get into heaven,, then you may think it does.

the NT was written to the Greek people.....? what?

Most of the people in the roman empire spoke GREEK. it was the COMMON LANGUAGE.

Just like the OT was written to a people who had a common language of HEBREW (known as Israel)

I find my views in Scripture not in personal opinion.

While im not condemning any who don't know the name of Yahweh, it is a right thing to promote and use His Name, well, if you ask Him:

a few random verse about this topic, there are many many more

Isayah 42:8, "I am Yahweh, that is MY NAME; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images."

Micahyah (Micah) 4:5, "For all people walk each in the name of his god (430 - elohim), but we will walk in the Name of Yahweh (3068 - Yhvh) our Father forever and ever."

Revelation 3:12, "He who overcomes, I will make a pillar in The House of My Father, and he will never go out of it. And I will write upon him the Name of My Father, and the Name of the New Yerusalem which comes down out of heaven from My Father, newly named."

Psalm 103:1, "Bless You Yahweh, O our souls! And all that is within us bless Your holy Name!"

Psalm 105:1, "Give thanks to Yahweh! Call upon His Name! Make known what He has done among the nations!"

Isayah 47:4, "Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is His Name, the Holy One of Israyl!"

Yeremyah 32:18, "Who shows lovingkindness to thousands, and recompenses the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them--the Great, the Mighty Father! Yahweh of hosts is His Name!"

Psalm 135:13, "Your Name, O Yahweh, endures forever! Your memorial, O Yahweh, is for all generations!"

Psalm 111:9, "You sent redemption to Your people; You have commanded Your covenant forever. Holy and Reverend is Your Name."

Yeremyah 33:2, "This is what Yahweh says Who made the earth, Yahweh Who formed it to establish it--Yahweh is His Name:"

I suppose principalities and powers of darkness thrive in division of the brethren. I wish we could find a way to express ourselves without little cliques here and there ganging up on each other with wrong motives. Nevertheless, God’s will be done.

Awesome. :D
 
lets prove a point.

in the hebrew bible it saysadam said happem esem asama (this is bone of my bones)

Now did Adam actually speak in those hebrew words, or did God translate what Adam said into Hebrew so the hebrew speaking people could understand what Adam said?

I'm with you, I came to know Him as Jesus and God... If the correct way to say His name is Yahshua, then I will call Him that... It's like someone calling me branfree, because of their translation ... When one finds out it's Brainfreeze it would be polite and (correct ) to say brainfreeze

There is no way of knowing either way. SO this proves nothing.

However what language did the Savior speak to Paul in? Hebrew. That also proves nothing.

it does prove a point, because your right, we can not know. although we can know with a prety good accuracy adam did not speak hebrew by looking at the roots of the hebrew language.

So what it proves, Is God translated into Hebrew what Adam actually said. And if he translated these words of adam into hebrew, he would have translated whatever adam and anyone else in his time up to noah called God. into hebrew.

AND you CAN NOT PROVE OTHERWISE.

thus your whole argument is based on false assumptions, and false ideas.

because WE CAN NOT PROVE WHAT ADAM OR ANYONE CALLED GOD. All we have is a HEBREW TRANSLATION OF WHAT THEY SAID.

Genesis 4:26, "And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. It was then that the Name of Yahweh began to be invoked again."
 
Besides God only cares if we are willing to Follow him for we are His children and we can call him Daddy too for we are created by Him :)
 
I'm with you, I came to know Him as Jesus and God... If the correct way to say His name is Yahshua, then I will call Him that... It's like someone calling me branfree, because of their translation ... When one finds out it's Brainfreeze it would be polite and (correct ) to say brainfreeze

Tbh Yashua sounds strange to me, when I say strange I mean as in foreign... too big language barreer. I use it but rarely. It just doesnt feel home. I came to Jesus and I continue to call Him so. Not once I felt it was disrespectful. If you did feel that, good for you that you're following your conviction.
Oddly, YHWH and Yah does not feel foreign to me so I use these often.
I disdain the legalism of Hebrew roots movement. They also made Hebrew repulsive to me but I decided to disregard it for His sake and not get trapped into judging based on outward appearance because of what some people are doing. God does not take offense that I call Him Jesus, if He took offense with me, I'd feel and know that very well! There's no worse feeling for me than when He is offended or angry.
Wish people would stop judging others on things that are apparently not the matter of salvation. (not talking about you here, but there are many out there on the WWW)

Much better result would be opening some sort of praise thread and have every poster praise God and post a praise song too maybe, using His Hebrew name (one of). That way everybody learns something, everybody praises God, everybody joins in praise, nobody is condemned, nobody is opposing anybody. Because people have nothing against calling God with Hebrew names and learning, but they do against being condemned.
If any one of you wants to open this sort of praise thread, send me a link... SoulWeaver out.

You are bundling many into a group they do not belong IMO.

I want to say, personally I love the Name Yahshua/Yahushua because it's in the Name. It's so beautiful.

Yah = YHWH

Shua = Salvation

Matt 1:21, "And she will give birth to a Son, and you will call His Name YAHSHUA ; (Yahweh is Salvation); for Hewill save His people from their sins "

Yeah I like it but it just doesnt feel home so I rarely use it. Jesus sounds more like someone I know. This might change with time.
But what I know is that the pronunciation and spelling do NOT limit God to save anybody.
Even if they never learn the Hebrew pronunciation.

I agree.

Yah woke me up/called me before I knew His Name. (I had heard it but didn't look into it)

I do believe that pronunciation has to be perfect for Him to know, He is the Most High, He knows all and there is even Scripture to support this

Romans 8:26, "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we might not know how to offer our prayer worthily, as we ought, but the Spirit itselfintercedes for us, with groans that words cannot express."
