According to the Greek and Hebrew "God and
Bible" correctors, God in the Old Testament should be called `Yahweh' by
all English speaking people. Furthermore they say that God in the New Testament
should be called `Yeshua'. Is this correct?
Now if
we were Greeks or Jews in the l st Century we would need to know these names and
their correct pronunciation.
But
what does God expect of us today seeing that we do have his infallible,
inerrant and God inspired word in the English language -The King James Bible.
He
directs us to use his name as contained in the King James Bible and we find
that the words "Yeshua" and "Yahweh" are never used.
The
Bible does have the correct name of God in the Old Testament which is the word
"LORD" or "Jehovah" but never Yahweh.
But
this raises the question - who is Jehovah?
Jehovah
of the Old Testament is the Lord Jesus Christ of the New Testament. This is
proved by Isaiah 40:3 and Matthew 3:3 where we have both Isaiah and John the
Baptist referring to the same person.
"The
voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God " (Isaiah 40:3)
"For
this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight. " (Matthew 3:3)
SO WE
CAN SEE THAT THE CORRECT NAME OF GOD IS ...
THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST.
It is
merely superstition and religious legalism to be using the names of God as they
were/may have sounded in the 1st Century.
