Do you know where the word "Jehovah" originated?

Much love!
FWIW, here is what we know about the name “Jehovah”, which is the best known English translation of the divine name……
JEHOVAH

Those who are trinitarians seem to balk at the use of this English translation, but will accept “Jesus” (which is also an English translation of his Hebrew name) without a second thought.

Understanding the difference between a “translation” and a “transliteration” gets lost in the blind argument.
A translation retains the meaning of the original Hebrew name of the “Most High” (Psalm 83:18 KJV)
According to the Hebrew Tanak, the divine name means “I will be what I will be”. (Exodus 3:13-15)

A transliteration is an attempt at best guessing how it might have been pronounced, which if it’s not correct, is worse than using a translation. Having said that, the divine name is pronounced and written in many nations in their own language…..who then invented all these languages? Genesis 11:1-9 tells us that God gave humans different languages so as to break up their disobedient plan to stay put and make a great name for themselves after the second rebellion involving Noah’s grandson, Nimrod.

What a lot of fuss about nothing…..as if Jehovah does not know his name in any language. Those who pray “hallowed be thy name”, without ever uttering it, can hardly be genuine in their attempt to approach the true God. Ancient servants like King David, used God’s name without reservation.
“Taking God’s name in vain” has nothing to do with the way we say it….it has everything to do with how we represent the God who bears that name…..and it isn’t Jesus.

And they don't seem to care that "Jehovah" is a word made up by the Masoretic scribes to actually prevent anyone from saying God's revealed Name.

Much love!
So say men of darkness who feared using Gods name--Only the wicked fear using Gods name, the righteous dont. So you share thoughts of the wicked who live in darkness.

Are you wicked because you hate your own JW bible?

Why do you keep trying to deceive others? I love Gods word. If Jesus were here, he would tell you who your Father is.

Denial of history won't lead you to truth.

The Disciples commission was that of drawing people to Jesus and their power to do this came from knowing him. One cannot draw if one doesn't know. The information they shared as they interacted was of a certain quality....a quality born of personal experience with Jesus.....not one born of having a diploma and subscribing to an exclusive organisation.
Yes indeed, knowing Jehovah and his son is vital, and the only way to “know God” is to study his word and to abide by its teachings, most especially the teachings that came from Jehovah through his son. In this way we come into a personal relationship with Jehovah and his precious son.

We can learn about Jehovah and Jesus, but never on our own…..that is the devil’s other playground. No Christian can exist in isolation from a brotherhood with whom they have regular contact as they did in the first century, coming together to reaffirm the truth of God’s word as a body of Christians in congregation of believers who shared one truth. (Heb 10:24-25)

It does not require a university education with degrees from studying “theology” but from drinking in the truth of God’s word, having found that “faithful and wise slave” (Matt 24:45) whom Jesus appointed in these last days to guide the genuine truth seekers in the way they should serve their God as Jesus and his apostles did in the last days of their commission.
We are to feed (spiritually) at only one table….with all receiving the same “food”. If we are our own “slave”, or are lost in the rabble of Christendom’s denominations, then the devil will have great fun with us. All must believe one truth. (1 Cor 1:10) No one can be a genuine Christian alone, deciding for themselves what scripture teaches. The first Christians, like God’s ancient nation were separated out from false worship. They were surrounded by it and told to keep their distance…..but by disobedience, they allowed false worship to infiltrate and we can see where that has led…..there is nothing but lies and confusion with people trying to make the Bible say what it plainly does not.

When Jesus manifests at the judgment, there will only be “sheep and goats”….we will ALL be found in one of those two categories, and Jesus will be the one who judges which one we are placed in. So many will hear his stinging rejection because they had “no love for the truth”…..it will have sounded like lies to them because of their indoctrination. (2 Thess 2:9-12, Matt 7:21-23) God chooses us as much as we think we choose him. (John 6:44; 65)

Why does your JW bible say Jesus is God and Hell is everlasting?

What if you are the one in denial….? How would you know? Take a look at Christendom’ track record….history is not kind to those who subscribe to her false teachings. She has supported the world (John 17:16; 18:36; James 4:4) and disobeyed Christ’s teachings in so many ways….her skirts dripping in blood, even of their own ‘brothers’ in the wars of the nations, (Isaiah 1:15) and yet you still cling to those who fail to “do the will of the Father”. (Matt 7:21-23)

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, as they say. You can see for yourself . . . if you choose.

Confidence is no assurance of truth…..sound Bible knowledge from the correct teachers (the faithful slave) will lead us to where we will have placed ourselves, by our own decisions about what is truth.…..it will not be the majority who are saved….it will be a hated minority who seem to be exactly what Jesus and his apostles ‘appeared’ to be to the Jews who murdered their own savior. They cursed themselves with his blood….that is how confident they were. (Matt 27:25; Matt 7:13-14; John 15:18-21)

Like the history that God put his name in HIS bible over 7000 places. Why? Because he wants it there. That is his will. Satan through wicked men had his name removed to mislead. So all religion using the altered versions are giving support to satans will over Gods will. Thats history facts. The wicked keep Gods name out.
