| Jan 12, 2013 at 20:25 | comment | added | 2tim424 | @LemuelAdane The vocalization Jehova has no biblical support, and as best we can tell originated in 1100ad. YHWH is the transliteration of how it actually appears in the those passages. The vowel sounds are not known as they Jews avoided pronouncing His proper name aloud. see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehova | |

I know you wont do that, instead you will be happy for that because the child recognizes you. Same with Jehovah, he is happy for the people recognizing, hollowing his name everyday, not constraint by traditional misconceptions about the renditions of his name. | |

You said you are "scripting language connoisseur, regular expression aficionado, network geek, general lover of Linux and a frequent contributor to open source software." Which of those "names" you write in a paper that ask of your name, or do you put there "Caleb Maclenan"? Its the same with God and his personal name is Jehovah, though he has many titles like "Elohim" or "Adonai." but his personal name is Jehovah. | |
| Nov 9, 2011 at 21:52 | comment | added | Caleb | How to Jehovah Witnesses defend this particular rendering of the name in light of the fact that the original Hebrew vowels for this word are not known? Also how do they interpret Isaiah 9:6 "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Are these not also names by which he shall be known? | |
