Is this a Latin based word? What is His actual name? I also heard Jesus had another name.

Sblizzy:

The word "god" is just the English variation of the German word "goot"..which meant good or righteous lord.




Let me drop a little science for you to look into....


When you pick up a bible;

Whenever you read the word "God", the original translation is Elohim.

And usually when you read the words "Lord God", the original translation is Yahweh/Jehovah...sometimes Adoni.



When you read in Genesis, you'll notice that God created the universe, man, and woman from nothing.

But the next chaper tells how the Lord God MADE a man from the dust to tend the Garden.

According to some, these were 2 different beings.



Because the steel is black...the attitude is exact. -Public Enemy

Based on the evidence, The concept of God came from the Egyptians who had a supreme being system with multiple names and characteristics for each deity. The greek Diety system including deities such as Zeus, Narcisus, Aphrodite and others and is almost identical to the Egyptian belief because the Greeks stole their concept of God from the Egyptians. The concept in the bible is also derived from the Egyptian Deities and is why when the bible is translated in antiquity hebrew, the creators of man were called "Eloheem or Elohim". I say Creators because the world Elohim is a plural noun and means multiple supreme beings in a group. Eloh and Elah are the singular versions of God but the creators of the earth are called the Elohim because they were a group of beings not just one Eloh or God. Attributes such as Adonai, Yahweh, Yahawah, lord and many more are the names of the individual Eloh's and not the names of the entire group of Elohim. The worship of one God came into being when an Egyptian pharoah name Akhenaton established monothesim by rejecting the multple Gods system and worshiping one God, Amen, the Sun Disc as the supreme God over all other lower dieties. This is where the bible also gets its concept of monothesim from.

Whiether or not Jesus had different names is unimportant because the story of Jesus itself is plagerized and the the same story is told in older doctrines just with different names, times and places.


To believe is to have doubt and no facts but to know is to have facts and no doubt.

chubbichix

the egyptians and ethiopians as one was born out of the other........believed in one Supreme God above all others. there is proof to this. some of teh most famous biblical people were said to be born in africa........Moses being one of them

different languages will use different names for obvious reasons. Jehovah God are often used together and by their self.




Think outside of the box...Think in spirit

Act as if it were impossible to fail!!!

'Jesus' was and is the "Greek translation" not the original true name. In old Greek and Hebrew, there are no vowels and the letter 'J' wasn't introduced into the english alphabet until 1630 (Guinness Book of Records 1993). The original name was Yashua.

Also by the way, look up understand the relation of the words 'Jesus'- 'Jesuit'- 'Jesuitism' It's not a coincidence.

GOD
ELAH

DEUS
TUHAN
ALLEGANY
MULUNGU
PRAMATMA
ALLAH
ELI
GUD
MANGU-MOLA
THEOS
JEHOVAH


There is no nation or language group on earth who does not know God by some name. This knowledge was given by the Creator Himself through the lips of His chosen messengers. The names of a very few of these messengers we know, the rest have been lost or clouded in superstition.

You're on the right track. 'J' is one of the newest letters of the alphabet including 'V'. So all that was done in form was replace 'Y' with 'J'. I think this isn't the only instance at that. Another example is Jehovah, Yehovah.
But one of the oldest..actually the oldest is Y-H-W-H in Hebrew. People call him 'GOD', but that isn't his name, only a title, not a name.

Astonishing as it may sound, prior to the sixteenth century, the word "Jehovah," was unheard of. Whenever the origin of this word appeared in its true Hebrew form in Jewish Scriptures (read from right to left as in Arabic) Yet, Huh, Wav, Huh; or Y.H.W.H. these four letters were preceded by a substitute word "Adonai," to warn the reader that the following word was not to be articulated. The Jews took meticulous care in repeating this exercise in their "Book of God" six thousand, eight hundred and twenty-three times - interpolating the words "Adonai" or "Elohim." They sincerely believed that this awesome name of God was never to be pronounced.

If Jehovah is the name of God Almighty, and if the 27 Books of the New Testament were inspired by Him, then it is an anomaly of the highest order, that He (Jehovah) signally failed to have His Own Name recorded in "His Word" (N.T.) the Christian addition to the Jewish Bible. The Christians claim that they have in their possession over twenty-four thousand so-called "originals" of their Holy Writ in the Greek language, and yet not a single parchment has "Jehovah" written in it. Curiously this "name of God" (?) has been sacrilegiously replaced by the Greek words ky'ri.os and the.os', which mean 'Lord' and 'God.'

What then is a "tetragrammaton!". "Tetra," in Greek means FOUR, and "grammaton," means LETTERS. It simply means "a four letter word." You cannot read into Y H W H the word Jehovah without adding vowels to these four consonents to produce the sound. Originally, both Hebrew and Arabic were written without the vowel signs The native of each language was able to read if even without those vowels. Not so the outsider, for whose benefit the vowels were invented.

However, after adding the vowels YHWH becomes YeHoWaH, but not Jehovah! Use of the "J" is considered the 'popular' pronunciation from the 16th century. The exact sound of the four letters YHWH is known neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles, yet the Jehovahs Witness is ramming JEHOVAH down everyones throats. The European Christians have developed a fondness for the letter "J". They add J's where there are no Jays:

Yael converts to Joel
Yehuda...to.....Juda
Yeheshua.to.....Joshua
Yusuf....to.....Joseph
Yunus....to.....Jonah
Yesus....to.....Jesus
Yehowa...to.....Jehovah

The letters Y H W H occur in the Hebrew (Jewish) Scriptures 6 823 times, boasts the Jehovah's Witness, and it occurs in combination with the word "Elohim;" 156 times in the booklet called Genesis alone. This combination YHWH/ELOHIM has been consistently translated in the English Bible as "Lord God," "Lord God," Lord God," ad infinitum.

What is YHWH; and what is ELOHIM? Since the lews did not articulate the word YHWH for centuries, and since even the Chief Rabbis would not allow the ineffable to be heard, they have forfeited the right to claim dogmatically how the word is to be sounded. We have to seek the aid of the Arab to revive Hebrew, a language which had once died out. In every linguistic difficulty recourse has to be made to Arabic, a sister language, which has remained alive and viable. Racially and linguistically, the Arabs and the Jews have a common origin, going back to Father Abraham. Note the startling resemblance between the languages, very often the same sounding words carry identical meaning in both.

HEBREW.......ARABIC..........ENGLISH
Elah..............Ilah...............god
Ikhud............Ahud..............one
Yaum............Yaum.............day
Shalom..........Salaam...........peace
Yahuwa..........Ya Huwa.........oh he

YHWH or Yehova or Yahuwa all mean the very same thing. "Ya" is a vocative and an exclamatory particle in both Hebrew and Arabic, meaning Oh! And "Huwa" or "Hu" means He, again in both Hebrew and Arabic. Together they mean Oh He! So instead of YHWH ELOHIM, we now have Oh He! ELOHIM.

I know about this and it is very conspicuous. Why would one never pronounce the true name of the supreme God? The true name is worth professing. It was hidden for a reason which is a direct violation and direspect to him. As for the original pronunciation in Hebrew went from left to right, "Yod Hey Wa-v Hey". There is true salvation and wisedom in that name, that's why those rebelling against the supreme God do not wish for this name to be known by the masses. Their deceptions and false roads to mock-spirituality would no longer restrain anyone.
