If you'd bother to read the translator notes of any Bible, they'll tell you that they used "LORD" as a substitute for a name was that really is not pronounceable.



I gather you think there was no deliberate manipulation of the word Baptist. I believe they were promoting an agenda. Isn't it interesting when those same Bible versions do not try to obscure the names of pagan gods in their versions, rather the true God's name. They have affected many with their perversion.

Let me guess! We all need a New World Translation so we can get His name right?

I'm just wondering...why are you guys so fixated on the name Jehovah? Why does it matter? Do you think He cares what you call Him? You already know what He wants so why the obsession with capital J Jehovah??

I think you're believing what you've been told by people with an agenda.

Jehovah's Witnesses tend to be fixated on Jehovah.

God is Jesus, who was manifest in the flesh and believed on in the world..

God (his and our Father) is probably Yeshua, Yahweh, or Immanuel.

I understand that you are selling the name that appears over your Organization believing you are the ONLY true worshipers and faithful of God.

Jehovah is the mighty God according to Psalms 50:1 (kjv).

Compare Isaiah 9:6.

Jehovah created the heavens and the earth by Himself and all alone (Isaiah 44:24).

How, then, did Jesus have a part in it (John 1:3, Ephesians 3:9, Colossians 1:16)?

No, not every single one.
Literal Standard Version
Genesis 2:7 And YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.

World English Bible
Genesis 2:7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

As you stated there is no J in Hebrew, but again we are speaking English.
I'd explain it to you but I'd be wasting my time.

I believe it was already explained to him in another thread?
