Description Why is there so much confusion about the name of God? What is the true name of God anyway and does it matter to address God by that name? I choose to stick with what the scriptures say and use terms like God, Creator, Most High, Heavenly Father.
But we do know the letter "J" was used to replace the hebrew "Y" character and the letter "V" replaced the hebrew "W." No.
Therefore Jehovah could not be a name of the Most High used among the Israelites. would not be found spelled in such a fashion that uses the letter J.
Knowing this is important because the Names Jehovah, Jesus, Joshua etc ..
Instead the letter I is used seeing there was no J used at the time of the translation.
If you examine a true 1611 KJV you will not find the letter J within words.
We must understand that the letter J did not come to exist in the alphabet until after the King James Bible was completed. 6: 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Ex.
Lets go to the scriptures to get an understanding of how the scholars that put the Bible together understood how the name was to be rendered into English.
From YHWH various pronunciations have developed like Ya Ha Wa H (Yaw-ha-wa), Yahweh (ya-way), Yahuwah (Ya-hoo-wa) and this is where the conflict arises.
With this, many spell the name as they pronounce it.
The dispute comes with the pronunciation of the name. (see Strong\'s #3068) The four hebrew characters that make up the name is known as the Tetragrammaton which is Greek meaning "four letters." The four Hebrew characters (YHWH in english) that make up the name of the Most High cannot be disputed.
This name was replaced by the word LORD in our english translations.
The True name of the Most High as rendered in english alphabetical characters is YHWH (He is or I Am ALL Self Existent or Eternal) . confusion arises when people teach doctrines outside of what the scriptures speak or a lack of understanding.
