What is God's name? I am who I am is not a name ...

God's name is Jehovah.

King

James

Version:

The name Jehovah is found at Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24. His name means:  He causes to become. You probably do not have a close & personal relationship with a person whose name you do not know. Therefore, it is important to get to know Almighty God, the true God Jehovah for there are many false gods that people worship. 

Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. (Revelation 4:11)

your idol is objectivism. my nameless g-d can not be defined.  

don't piss off Fred! 

Johovah is one of the oldest names for God. in latien it is spelt with Iohovah 

 The ancient Isrealites spoke hebrew not latin like Rome the scriptures are based on the hebrew God.Moses would have spoke to hebrews not Romans.

Yahovah.Hebrew has no J sound in it so the correct translation should be the Y.

The form of J was unknown in any alphabet until the 14th century.  Either symbol (J, I) used initially generally had the consonantal sound of Y as in year.  Gradually, the two symbols (J, I) were differentiated, the J usually acquiring consonantal force and thus becoming regarded as a consonant, and the I becoming a vowel.  It was not until 1630 that the differentiation became general in England.” The Messiah’s  name could not begin with the letter J because it did not exist when He was born –not even a thousand years later!  All good dictionaries and encyclopedias show that the letter J and its sound are of late origin.

 

 

 

 

yes... but the Hebrews could say "FRED"!

fear the FRED!

here  is a related question here http://yedda.com/questions/religion_7359591963130/

Christ is a detail and it gets in the way of the point I was talking about above.  The name of g-d and messiah are not key to 

"Tikkun Olum".

Like all great truths, the bible has a lot of great points.  There is a g-d, but my g-d is not a book.  The bible tries to point out what happens when you mistake material for spirit.  It is called idol worshipping. Todays idol worshippers come on many forms.  To assume that only you understand the bible the way you want to see it has been an idol for centuries and we pay the price for our foolishness with religious tyranny. G-d destroyed all theocracies in the past.  It is recorded in the bible itself.  Even the greats like Saul, David and Soloman were left with a divided kingdom after they're reign.  It is clear that the bible does not recommend an absolute truth.  The truth is in the bible, and the truth is learn... but don't use it as a weapon to control the people around you.  Others will come to you and ask where you got your wisdom... and then you can explain to them that you found it here... but you still don't have to think the world is only 5000 years old or that Noah forgot to mention microscopic organisms or many of the other holes in the story.  The bible is not perfect... inspired by g-d, means it was scribed by well intending imperfect men.  

The example of God's name in the question of 'I am who I am is not a name'.  That 'Name of God' is taken from the Book of Exodus while Moses was having a discussion wtih and God and Moses asked the Burning Bush to tell him who was sending him to the Egyptian Pharaoh.  The result of the response from the Burning Bush was written as the tetragrammaton (the 4 Hebrew characters which were to represent the name of God).  In Jewish tradition the name of God is so sacred that it was NEVER to be spoken, under pain of death.  The tetragrammaton was used to hold the place in the text (YHWH is the English equivalent) but it was never meant to be spoken.  In the time since the original Hebrew Scriptures were written, much scholastic work has been done and many hypotheses have been made about the tetragrammaton; I believe that our own nature will not allow us to accept something that we should not speak.  Please remember that one of the Ten Commandments forbade the taking of God's name in vain; so in making and effort not to take God's name in vain the leaders of ancient Israel did not allow even the speaking of God's name at all.  Thus preventing the people from committing that particular sin.

The commandment of "taking Yahweh's name in vain" is misunderstood by many. In reality, it means "do not use my reputation for selfish purposes".

The use of the word "NAME," as used in the phrase, "Believe in his NAME," does NOT simply imply a title (what you are called). The term "NAME" carries with it the implication of 'what the NAME represents.' The full impact of the word "NAME" may never be truly understood in these 'Latter Days,' but a person's NAME has historically been defended even to the death. A person's NAME was his or her REPUTATION, and a highly defended point of HONOR.

FOR EXAMPLE, when Scripture says to "Believe in the Name of Messiah," it means to BELIEVE IN WHAT THE NAME REPRESENTS," which is HIS MINISTRY on Earth.

According to Strong's #G3686, NAME is:

G3686 (onoma) onoma, on'-om-ah
from a presumed derivative of the base of ginwskw - ginosko 1097 (compare 3685); a "name" (literally or figuratively) (authority, character):--called, (+ sur-)name(-d).

G1097 (ginosko) As Perceived (reputation).

This implies a belief in "Righteous Reputation." Therefore, model yourself after Messiah's reputation, because YHWH will JUDGE your NAME. A NAME that will be born out of your true Spiritual Nature, the Intent of your Heart (See Sacrifice of Messiah).

Additionally, to use The Name of The One Self-existent Creator of The Universe in a manner that harms His reputation (Name or Righteous Character) is the true intent and reason behind the Hebrew tradition of not speaking the name of YHWH at all (but using titles such as HaShem in its place).

Strong's H8034 (SHEM) a primitive word as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication honor, authority, character:--+ base, (in-)fame(-ous), named(-d), renown, report.)

Thus HaShem would also be the character (reputation) of YHVH.

This is a tradition born out of the fear of offending YHWH; however, it is not necessarily the pronunciation that is offensive to YHWH, but the manner in which His Name is used. Do not disrespect the Righteous Character of YHWH, as His Righteous Character is His Sacred Name.

Speaking the name of Yahweh, isn't a sin (selfish) in itself, but using it as a license to rape, murder, or gain power and money, and such, IS.

I think calling him in any name will be degrading.
