That's definitely not Hebrew though. Hebrew goes right to left and uses different symbols than that.

Yes, the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) does go as the Hebrew Scriptures would be written.

Of course it's not. I was replying to Isiberian's comment that 'El' is not Hebrew. אֵ֑ל is Hebrew. 'El' is the English translation of אֵ֑ל.

I would definitely recommend a version that includes His name, but you already know it, in fact most people in the world has heard it, that is why Jehovah has allowed most versions translated after 1960 to remove the full version of His name, but I don't think He has allowed any of them to remove it completely. Do you know of any version that doesn't have the shortened form Jah in it?

What do you discern from Exodus 9:16 Zero? How bout Romans 10:13? What is my responsibility as a Christian? Romans 10:14,15

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

Might you explain to me sir why God has a God? I think I will worship and serve his God exclusively as he instructed us to do, that way I am sure that I will be pleasing to him. Mat 4:10; John 14:15

Great questions sir. Although it is impossible for us to understand, Jehovah had no beginning. Time began with creation. The very first creation of Jehovah was His firstborn son, Jesus. Rev 3:14, hence in the beginning was the Word (Jesus) Jn 1:1. You mentioned another key verse, Col 1:16 from that point on everything was created through him, for him. Proverbs 8 verse 30 reveals Jesus to be the master craftsman, craftsman of what, all creation Faith. Jehovah is the designer, therefore the creator, but with the obvious exception of Jesus himself, everything that Jehovah designed after Jesus creation came to be created through Jesus hands. The rest of the angels were created next, I believe, and although the Bible doesn't say, no doubt they were involved as well.


Hope that helps sir.
