^ YHWH's name isn't to be spoken. Only written.
And regardless, you're calling Him by the wrong name. It's not "Jah-hO-vah". It's "Yah-way".
How do you take the fourth commandment anyway? The one that most Christians would say "goddammit" falls under?
Wrong. What you just stated is Pharisee belief(apostate Judaism), also every time you say hallelujah your contradicting yourself because it means praise Yahweh!! As for the name Jehovah it's the English version for the divine name, just like Jesus is the English version for Yeshua/Iesous. It's funny that Christendom puts Jesus on par with his father and yet they use his name like they know how it was pronounced back then, yet they call evil on anyone who uses his father's name(my aunt has her own church and although she knows his name she can't use it or she'll lose her church.) As for fourth commandment? Is that the you must not take up his name in a worthless way? Worthless is blaspheming against his name not using it in a respectful way. If you view it that way then Jesus and his apostles just broke the fourth commandment since they quoted from the Hebrew-Aramaic scriptures.
Matthew 15:6 reads 6 he must not honor his father at all.’ And so YOU have made the word of God invalid because of YOUR tradition.
Revelation 2:8 reads 8 “And to the angel of the congregation in Smyr´na write: These are the things that he says, ‘the First and the Last,’ who became dead and came to life [again], 9 ‘I know your tribulation and poverty—but you are rich—and the blasphemy by those who say they themselves are Jews, and yet they are not but are a synagogue of Satan.
Was it used by Jesus and his disciples?
John 17:26 reads 26 And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”
Was that just figurative for his father's will?
Matthew 4:4 reads 4 But in reply he said: “It is written, ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through Jehovah’s mouth.’”
This is Jesus replying back to Satan with a quote from Deuteronomy 8:3 where his father's name appears, also LORD all caps in KJ and other bibles is a replacement name for the father not Jesus, look at Psalms 83:18 in an old KJ bible and then look at some modern KJ bibles, notice the replacement!!!!!!!!!!! if Jesus overlooked that one word he who also have made the name of god invalid, do you believe he can do such a thing?
Matthew 4:7 reads 7 Jesus said to him: “Again it is written, ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’”
Jesus again quotes scripture where his father's name appears(Deuteronomy 6:16)
Matthew 22:73 reads 37 He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’
Jesus again quotes scripture where his father's name appears(Deuteronomy 6:5)
Matthew 22:44 reads 44 ‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies beneath your feet”’?
Jesus quotes scripture with his father's name AGAIN, this time he's talking to pharisees and he quotes from Psalms 110:1
Luke 4:16-21 quotes Isaiah 61:1-2
This is Jesus reading an Isaiah scroll in a synagogue and saying that he is the prophesied messiah. There's no question that Jesus used his father's name from these scriptures and as followers of Jesus likewise his apostles would do the same, and my denom definitely follows the way the apostles imitated Jesus minus some miracles of course.
@Falconor02: Your starting to rely on name-calling? Come on man be a little more "rational"
@Tzs: It's really not even a matter of belief to me anymore, I know my denom is the least Babylonian which speaks volumes. I looked and researched other religions as well such as Taoism, Shinto, Hinduism, confuciusism(oh whatever you call it) and Buddhism. I'm going to do Judaism next, I found that compared to all the other religions mine is the least Babylonian. The 6 traits of Babylon are, triad of gods(TRINITY), immortality of the soul(life after death), Image worship(idolatry), hellfire(eternal torment), Position of priesthood(huge division between common man and clergy). Practice of astrology, divination, magic, and sorcery.
TRUE monotheistic religion must not have any of these traits in order to be the true religion.
As for people getting divorced all the time, it's because they don't take the marriage seriously and divorce for whatever reason, which is also adultery
Matthew 5:32 reads 32 However, I say to YOU that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Same sex relationships are CONTRARY TO NATURE in god's eyes and he created nature 0_0.
Romans 1:24-27 reads 24 Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.
If anyone reading this feels like it stabs a little i'm sorry.
@FuzzyCottonsocks: The "be fruitful" command was never repeated to Christians. He would still care because it's still contrary to nature in his eyes and science is now going to far in messing with nature.
@avril lavigne: Why you got to go and make things complicated(it's a joke please don't take this comment seriously). Anyway yes he wiped out people who opposed his people. He did this for 2 reasons.
1: To protect the Davidic line(the line Jesus comes though)
2. To get rid of "garbage" (Babylonian religion is contrary to nature in his eyes and thus trash)
